Hubei Provincial Museum | How powerful was the State of Chu?

| How powerful was the State of Chu? 🌟 During my trip to Wuhan, I spent half a day visiting the Hubei Provincial Museum, a must-see attraction in Wuhan. The museum is conveniently located in downtown Wuhan at 160 Donghu Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan. It covers a total area of 114,000 square meters, with an exhibition area of 36,000 square meters, and displays more than 25,000 cultural relics. 🌟 The Hubei Provincial Museum houses many national treasures, showcasing the power of the State of Chu at that time. Here are ten of the most famous treasures: 1⃣️ Yunxian Man Skull Fossil 2⃣️ Shijiahe Jade Figure 3⃣️ Chongyang Bronze Drum 4⃣️ Sword of Goujian, King of Yue 5⃣️ Zenghouyi Chime Bells 6⃣️ Zenghouyi Zun Pan 7⃣️ Tiger-Seat Bird-Stand Drum 8⃣️ Painted Figure of a Carriage and Horse 9⃣️ Qin Bamboo Slips from Sleeping Tiger Land in Yunmeng 🔟 Yuan Dynasty Blue and White Plum Vase with Four Love Paintings. You can listen to the tour guide explain the history of the Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, and the Zenghouyi Chime Bells. 🌟 The Sword of Goujian, King of Yue, is known as the "First Sword in the World." After 2,500 years, why has this sword from the Warring States period never rusted? Experts magnified it 500 times and discovered the truth: the blade has dendritic crystals, which is a testament to the advanced sword-making technology of the State of Yue. 🌟 The Zenghouyi Chime Bells produce a magnificent sound from 3,000 years ago. The ritual and musical instruments of Zenghouyi can play any kind of melody. Although the Hubei Provincial Museum does not have the original, it has a 1:1 replica. The tour guide said that the original has only been played twice, and the sound is magnificent, like the music of heaven.
