The Ming Dynasty perished Actually perished in Wanli‼️ Thanks to Guo Laoba for opening Wanli's underground palace, allowing later generations to see the burial objects unearthed from the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing·Wanli Underground Palace. Although it is a replica (the real one cannot leave Beijing), it is enough to feast one's eyes. But what attracts more attention is the twelve-dragon and nine-phoenix crown that outshines all others. It feels like any woman who wears it looks good. "The emperor guards the country's gate, and the king dies for the country". How many people think like me that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were bloody‼️But there are also weirdos like Emperor Wanli. Although Wanli of the entire Ming Dynasty was "on standby for a long time", during his reign, he did not hold morning court for more than 20 years, was obsessed with wine, wealth, and lust, and was slack at work. The decline of the Ming Dynasty began with Wanli, who left a mess to his grandson Chongzhen. 24 years after his death, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, and Chongzhen took the blame... 📸Highlights (Wanli Underground Palace Burial Objects) ✅ Golden Winged Crown: Wanli Emperor's Dragon Crown, the only existing emperor's gold crown ✅ Twelve Dragons and Nine Phoenixes Crown: Xiao Jing's Phoenix Crown, dragons and phoenixes intertwined ✅ Big Belt: Wanli's belt ✅ Silver Gilt Cloud Dragon Pattern Ewer ✅ Blue and White Cloud Dragon Pattern Jar: Special for lighting lamps in the underground palace ✅ Hollow Gold Lid Gold Tray Jade Bowl ✅ Gold Goblet: Gold Wine Utensil 📍Location: Shanghai Minhang Museum 📌tips: No reservation and tickets are required, the first 100 people every day have surprises

In the 1850s, Shanghai replaced Guangzhou as the center of China's foreign trade, and the shipping industry thrived with the development of trade. Foreign firms and shipping companies established by foreigners competed to open ocean-going, coastal, and Yangtze River routes. In 1897, the first modern Chinese merchant bank—China Merchants Bank—was established in Shanghai. Under the advocacy of Li Hongzhang, the first modern industry in China, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, was founded, which was also the earliest military enterprise in China to use machine production. As the city with the fastest urbanization process in China, Shanghai's municipal development was almost in sync with that of developed Western countries. The Sincere Company, Wing On Department Store, Sun Sun Department Store, and Da Sun Department Store were collectively known as the 'Four Great Companies' of Shanghai. In 1928, Shanghai officially implemented the separation of city and county governance. The earliest public education museum in Shanghai County was the County Minhang Public Education Museum, established in 1928. In 1929, Niu Yongjian founded the Yutang Public Education Museum. The Guangci Orphanage was founded in 1917. The Shanghai Puci Sanatorium, established in 1935, was one of the largest and most well-equipped psychiatric hospitals in the Far East at the time. In 1932, Shanghai's first car ferry, the 'Jinghang', was put into operation at the Minhang Ferry Terminal, marking the beginning of the official vehicle ferry service in the country. Li Yingshi founded the Shanghai Minnan Zhe Long-Distance Bus Co., Ltd., raising funds to build the Shanghai Minnan Zhe Highway, which was the first commercial long-distance bus transportation line in the country.

I visited the Marquis of Haihun exhibition in Nanchang a long time ago. The splendor was dazzling, a room filled with cast gold. It left a deep impression. Now I'm here to see this small exhibition. Just in time for the 11 o'clock tour. 🌟 Highlights: The explanation was really good. A different experience. Marquis of Haihun, Liu He, had a legendary life. From king to emperor, and then demoted to a commoner after 27 days. He moved from Changyi to Haihun County in Yuzhang. The regulations of a marquis, the scale of a king, the melancholy of an emperor. Because of the hardships, his lineage prospered for hundreds of years. Due to the changes of Poyang Lake, his tomb suffered flooding, Yet the burial remained preserved. Life is wonderful, gains and losses are predestined. A blessing in disguise, who knows what fortune it may bring. ☺
