A national treasure, a historical artifact, meets "Yue," a brass axe discovered in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. 

To mark International Museum Day, which falls on May 18, we present you this brass battle-axe dating back 2,000 years ago, featuring two coiled dragons soaring upwards and four figures wearing feathered crowns, rowing and competing.

Take a visit to the Ningbo Museum with us in this video and see how people these days sustain the vitality and spirit of dragon boat competitions, as portrayed by this relic, to pursue and build a better life.
