Don't miss the nine treasures of the Shaanxi Museum Treasure Hall

The Tang Dynasty Treasure Hall The fourth exhibition hall of Shaanxi Museum In my opinion, it's worth every penny! Out of the eighteen treasures of the Shaanxi Museum, four are in this exhibition hall. It is said that the treasures unearthed from two places in Shaanxi best reflect the wealth of the 'Tang Dynasty's prosperous era'. One is the underground palace of Famen Temple in Baoji, and the other is the cellar of Hejiacun in Xi'an. All the treasures in this hall come from Hejiacun. With a ticket price of 30, do you think it's worth it? 🏺 About the Hejiacun cellar All the treasures were hidden in two large and one small jars, including gold, silver, jade, and agate objects... over a thousand pieces of invaluable treasures. They were not buried in tombs but were buried underground in the village. As for who buried them, it remains a mystery to this day... 📸 Nine must-see national treasures 1️⃣ Silver sachet with grape, flower, and bird patterns: The love token of Emperor Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan 2️⃣ Gold-inlaid beast head agate cup: A wine vessel, (Treasure of Shaanxi Museum) 3️⃣ Gilt silver cup with dancing horse: A wine vessel, (Treasure of Shaanxi Museum) 4️⃣ Red gold dragon: A ritual object used in Taoist prayer ceremonies 5️⃣ Gold-inlaid white jade bracelet: Is it considered gold with jade inlay? 6️⃣ Mandarin duck and lotus petal pattern gold bowl: Goldware, (Treasure of Shaanxi Museum) 7️⃣ Parrot pattern silver pot with handle: Silverware, (Treasure of Shaanxi Museum) 8️⃣ Peacock pattern silver box with lid: A box for jewelry? 9️⃣ Lion pattern white jade belt hook: Jade, for belts 📌tips: Compared to the overcrowded regular exhibition halls, the atmosphere in the fourth hall's Treasure Hall is much better. Perhaps the admission fee is a significant barrier.
