After visiting the Shaanxi History Museum, I realized that many of the cultural relics featured in the recently popular TV drama *Lan Xiang Ru Gu* are all kept here
A gilt-silver drinking-cup patterned wine vessel with dancing horses, a silver incense pouch with grape-and-bird motifs, a multi-faceted seal made of coal amber stone from the Yu Gu Xin collection, a gold bowl with mandarin-duck lotus petal designs, as well as a gold-and-silver flat-relief mirror of a phoenix-bird, and Han-dynasty gold cakes
Many of the antique props in film and television aren’t made up out of thin air—behind them are real relics that serve as historical proof
This trip was especially meaningful. Thousands of years ago, these artifacts’ details of ancestral aesthetics are finally felt firsthand in front of my eyes!
