Hubei Provincial Museum | The land of Jingchu, the elegance of Chu culture!

Hubei Provincial Museum is one of the eight national key museums jointly established by the central and local governments, known for its Shang and Zhou dynasty bronzes, Chu state lacquered woodware and bamboo slips from the Qin and Han dynasties, and gold and jade articles of the pre-Qin period and Ming dynasty feudal princes, enjoying a high reputation at home and abroad. From the migration of the self-selling bear, the establishment of a nation by later generations, to the self-proclamation as kings, the eight hundred years of the Chu state controlled the most important resource of the time (copper), and enjoyed the highest level of ritual system, such as the nine tripods and eight gui, the six-frame... The scale of its bronze ware is magnificent, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is breathtaking. In addition to this, its science, astronomy, and systems were all at the forefront of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and had strong local characteristics. The love story of King Liang Zhuang and Princess Wei may be long past, but through these gold and jade articles, one can still catch a glimpse of it. More content awaits our friends to explore, and here I am just throwing out a brick to attract jade.
