First Encounter with the Treasury of Chinese Civilization, Traveling Through a Millennium of Time

First Encounter with the Treasury of Chinese Civilization, Traveling Through a Millennium of Time First Stop: Zhu Men Qi Meng (Dreams Begin at the Red Gate) In the early morning, push open the vermilion door of the Shaanxi History Museum. The weathered patterns on the Tang Dynasty stone lions press against your palm, as if touching the heartbeat of Chang’an City💗. Passing through the Yellow River giant wave relief wall, rent an electronic guide (30 yuan). The air conditioning mixes with the scent of ancient books. 1.7 million cultural relics quietly await under the peacock blue glazed tiles—this is not a museum, but the entrance to a time tunnel. The Treasure Pavilion’s Stunning Highlights Head straight to the Tang Dynasty Relics Pavilion (30 yuan). The gilded dancing horse holding a silver cup from the Hejia Village cellar shines brilliantly under the spotlight. Gazing at a 45° angle at the gold-inlaid beast head agate cup, the muscles of the leopard carved by Sogdian craftsmen ripple with the light and shadow. When the golden beast head stopper turns, the sound of camel bells penetrates the glass case, jingling softly in your ear. Encounter with the Queen of the Han Dynasty On the second floor in the Han Exhibition Hall, the queen’s jade seal is only the size of a walnut. The seal’s base, carved with a horned tiger knob, bears the fierce seal script "Seal of the Queen." Imagine Lü Zhi gently holding this Hetian jade seal to review memorials. Two thousand years of majesty flow out from the display case, making the hairs on your arms stand on end—history truly has weight. A Tasteful Finale Hungry, rush into the cultural and creative shop and take a bite of the "Tang Treasure" ice cream (15 yuan), where the milky flavor melts with bronze patterns. At the stamping station, open a blank book. The seal imprint of the mandarin duck and lotus petal patterned gold bowl leaps vividly onto the paper. Gold powder smudges your fingertips, and the lingering warmth of the prosperous Tang Dynasty burns from your fingertips to your heart.
