A treasury of history, the Luoyang Museum resonates with the millennia-old pulse of Chinese civilization. A terracotta Buddha face from the Yongning Temple tells the story of how Buddhism took root in China. It is a testament not only to the Buddhist art of the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), but also to the cultural convergence of that era. The Cao Wei white jade cup, the Cao Wei blood amber figure riding a ram, the Eastern Han painted white flower lamp, the Eastern Han gilded bronze feathered immortal... Each artifact whispers the secrets of time. Archaeology is not just the excavation of the past, but also the enlightenment of the future. By treating each relic with reverence, we discover the essence of Chinese culture and encourage the long and rich river of our heritage to continue flowing.
