If you fold the history of Chinese ceramics in half, the crease would undoubtedly be in Liaoning. This place houses not just porcelain, but the beating hearts of twelve dynasties, from the Hongshan Civilization to the Qing Dynasty. 🏺【Three Shocking Aspects: Truths You Won't Find in Textbooks】 ▪️ Hongshan Culture Painted Pottery Goddess Statue: Not a container, but faith itself! A 4700-year-old pottery statue depicting a pregnant woman, with painted net-like patterns on its abdomen—the latest archaeological speculation suggests this is China's earliest "life totem." 3000 years earlier than the Venus of Greece, the Liaohe Civilization already worshipped female creativity. ▪️ Liao Dynasty Tricolor Glazed Capricorn Pot: Porcelain that swims! The dragon-headed, fish-bodied design originated from Buddhist scriptures, but was transformed by Khitan artisans into a grassland wine vessel. Most remarkably, the fins have holes for a rope, indicating it was once worn by nobles; the glaze flows with their movements, like a portable "miniature ocean." ▪️ Guangxu Period Famille Rose Autumn Military Exercise Cup: China's earliest "military-themed cultural and creative product"! Specially made for autumn military exercises, the cup features a depiction of the Beiyang Army's drills, and the handle is designed to resemble a rifle trigger. This was the last hurrah for ceramics, and also the empire's final struggle. 🔥【Decoding: Why is Liaoning a "pivotal" in the history of ceramics?】 】 • Raw Material Revolution: Kaolinite associated with Xiuyan jade mines creates the unique "Liaodong body" • Technological Transfer: Tang and Song dynasty potters migrated north, integrating nomadic aesthetics in the Liaodong region • Trade Gateway: The grassland Silk Road + Liaodong Corridor allowed porcelain to be sold far and wide to Goryeo and Japan, carrying the sound of horses' hooves. 📸【Must-See Scenes】 • Side lighting on the goddess pottery statue (highlighting the ancient maternal curves) • Close-up of the rope hole on the Sancai Capricorn pot (telling a thousand-year history of wearing) • Detail of the trigger handle on the Autumn Exercise Cup (a poignant footnote to the late Qing reforms) 💎【Smart Exhibition Route】 1. Head straight to the Prehistory Hall (see how ceramics evolved from practicality to worship) 2. Focus on the Liao-Jin Hall (a demonstration of the grassland transformation of Central Plains techniques) 3. A Closer Look at the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasty Hall (The Imprint of Global Trade on Porcelain) Standing before the goddess pottery statue, the most striking impression is felt: While other ancient civilizations sculpted deities from stone, The Hongshan people used the most fragile clay. Those once vibrant red paintings Now faded to the earth's color. This is not decline, It is faith sinking from form to essence—the soil that nurtured humanity, Should return to soil. And holding the Autumn Military Exercise Cup in hand, The cool porcelain surface evokes a tremor of history: When empires attempted to use the most fragile material, To bear the heaviest changes, The outcome was already written in the cracks of the kiln. 📍: Liaoning Provincial Museum, 3rd Floor, "A Thousand Years of Kiln Fire" Special Exhibition 🕘: 9:00-17:00 (Last entry at 16:30) 🎫: Free (Reservation required, bring ID card) 🚇: Liaoning Provincial Museum Station, Line 2, Exit C —————— From Faith to War From Altar to Battlefield The soil remembers this land All its glory and wounds As the kilns of twelve dynasties gradually died out Only porcelain silently guards the warmth and dreams of each generation

Heading north against the wind to shoot Asia's largest jade Buddha, but got trapped by freezing rain in Qianshan! A landscape photographer chasing the industrial civilization of Northeast China When southern Liaoning enters early winter, the strange peaks of Qianshan turn into an ice sculpture world. I originally planned to use a drone to capture the full view of the Jade Buddha Garden, but continuous freezing rain caused equipment short circuits. While shooting the Manchukuo period buildings deep in 219 Park, the lake froze over, grounding all the boats, but the colorful lights of the ice carnival unexpectedly became a highlight. If you love steel industry heritage, the heating pipe network at the Ansteel Museum becomes a shelter from the wind at this time, but note that factory visits require advance notice. I recommend staying in the Tanggangzi Hot Spring area, where you can enjoy hot springs in the snow while gazing at the Longshan Scenic Area, experiencing the poetic feeling of "hot spring water smooths and softens the skin." 1️⃣📍Qianshan: The strange pines and rocks of the Maitreya sanctuary 2️⃣📍Jade Buddha Garden: The solemnity of the world's largest jade Buddha 3️⃣📍Ansteel Museum: The red memory of industrial heritage 4️⃣📍Tanggangzi Hot Spring: The therapeutic effects of the royal hot springs 5️⃣📍219 Park: The city's green lung winter landscape 6️⃣📍Arhat Sanctuary: The group of five hundred Arhat sculptures 7️⃣📍Yaoshan: The sea of clouds at the ancient medicine temple ruins 8️⃣📍Baiyun Mountain: The snowy scene of the Liao Dynasty ancient pagoda 9️⃣📍Xiuyan Jade Mine: The geological wonder of the gem-producing area 🔟📍Haicheng Baiyun Mountain: The ice hanging wonder of the Buddhist holy site 1️⃣1️⃣📍Qingliang Mountain: The rime of the original secondary forest 1️⃣2️⃣📍Old Courtyard: The cultural experience of Manchu folk customs 1️⃣3️⃣📍Xiliu Yiwu City: The architectural aesthetics of Northeast trade city 1️⃣4️⃣📍Cuoshi Mountain Park: The century-old vicissitudes of the glazed screen wall 1️⃣5️⃣📍Ximu Stone Shed: The megalithic relics of the Neolithic Age 1️⃣6️⃣📍Sanchahe Wetland: The midway station for migratory birds 1️⃣7️⃣📍Longfeng Temple: The perilous terrain of the cliffside ancient temple 1️⃣8️⃣📍Xianghe Garden: The snowfield hot springs of the resort estate 📖5-day Steel Culture Route (cold weather gear required): Day 1⃣️: Jade Buddha Garden — 219 Park — Martyrs' Hill (stay in Tiedong District) Day 2⃣️: Full day at Qianshan Scenic Area (stay at hot spring hotel) Day 3⃣️: Ansteel Museum — Mengtai Park (stay in Lishan District) Day 4⃣️: Tanggangzi Hot Spring — Xianghe Estate (stay in Haicheng) Day 5⃣️: Baiyun Mountain — Xiuyan Jade Mine return trip

#2月好地方2025 Grandpa and his friends took us out to play~~ "Ginseng is eating the can of time!" Noen dug out five-shaped and six-body ginseng. The old ginseng leader Cui Qixing took out the magnetized deer bone needle: "This is the ginseng farmer's diary syringe from the Chongzhen period." He connected the ginseng whiskers to a portable mass spectrometer and detected the mineral markers of Li Zicheng's treasure map. Cui opened the cold storage disguised as a fallen tree and took out the "ginseng liquid film" from 1910. After soaking it, he revealed Zhang Zuolin's arms transportation route. He taught Norn to write secret letters using ginseng juice, and the words would transform into a 3D terrain sand table when exposed to body temperature. When a blizzard blocks the mountain, century-old ginsengs collectively break through the snow and dance, using their roots to draw a golden escape route on the ground.

Mutton soup! Fried lamb chops! Chengdong Bighead Carp Restaurant recommends choosing one of fish/chicken/silkworm pupae, otherwise the bill is slightly expensive! A shop with a brand that can't be seen clearly, there are many cars at the door… Make a reservation in advance! The portion is large and not suitable for two people, it's more suitable for family meals~ Shunyi Small Pot City is a god-like shop, featuring braised pork, green bean pot stickers and potatoes, I prefer green bean pot stickers and potatoes🥔! The overall price is not expensive~ 5⃣Go to the mountain goods morning market for the morning market, there are local mushrooms, green dates~ If you like jade, you can join the jade morning market, which is almost the same as buying goods 6⃣Yutong Jade Culture Museum, ticket🎫56r, if you particularly like it, it is recommended to ask for an explanation! I stayed here for more than 2 hours, the group of Eighteen Arhats (see picture) is simply the eye-catching package of the museum 7⃣It is recommended to take a walk up the mountain on the rockery behind the museum, it is said to be made of jade, some steps can see the green jade material inside, walk around when it's time to turn 8⃣On the way back from the museum, you will pass Huaxi Town, which has a Jiangnan style, free🆓, you can stroll around on the way back, commercialization has not yet started, it is not recommended to go specifically~ 9⃣This time I regret not going to Longtan Bay, I have arranged to go to see the maple leaves🍁 in the middle and late of the month I can't write anymore, ask in the comment section～
