Nanjing Museum
China, an East Asian country is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has a vast cultural history of more than five thousand years and an outstanding natural beauty. On the other hand, this country has remained a comparatively isolated and secluded one, and being a land of mystery, this country is not known to the western half of the world. However, China is rapidly developing and has grown in the phase of modernization, with an immense speed and is also welcoming the outer world to interact and do business with them.
More than 400,000 cultural relics are housed in the Nanjing Museum, arranged by date from the 11th century BC up to the beginning of the People Republic in the year 1949. One of the most fascinating exhibits is the burial suit made of 2,600 small rectangles of jade sewn jointly with silver thread. Discovered by Xuzhou in the year 1970, this suit is thought to be over 1,800 years aged. Apart from this, there is also a huge wooden copy of statue of a man with all the acupuncture points marked on his body, the original bronze version of which dates back to the Warring States period that lasted from 475 to 221 BC. Other items comprise richly embroidered sedan chairs, artifacts from the Taiping Rebellion and striking bronze, jade and porcelain pieces.
The Nanjing Museum is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in China. It is worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place will leave a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justify the proud cultural tradition of China.
