Highlights
- Mao Gong Ding (毛公鼎)
More than just a ritual vessel, this bronze cauldron contains the world's longest bronze inscription (500 characters). Maggie will decode this "ancient press release," showing you how it serves as both a priceless historical record and a foundational masterpiece of Chinese calligraphy.
Meat-Shaped Stone (肉形石)
Perhaps the most "delicious" piece of art ever created. This masterpiece is carved from natural banded jasper. You’ll marvel at how an artisan used the stone’s natural layers to mimic the skin, fat, and lean meat of braised pork—a playful testament to the heights of imperial craftsmanship.
Ru Ware Plain narcissus Basin with greenish-blue glaze (汝窯青瓷水仙盆)
Ru ware is among the rarest ceramics on Earth, celebrated for its "flawless simplicity." Maggie will guide you through its serene beauty and tell you some little secrets behind the scene.
