Who wouldn't be moved by ancient stone carvings?

🌟 Xi'an Museum: The Chinese Code in Millennia-old Bricks and Tiles Walking in the courtyard of Xi'an Museum, every brick underfoot feels like a ticket through time. Here, there are not only dazzling gold and silver vessels but also the most touching civilization codes hidden in Qin bricks and Han tiles. What amazes me the most is the hollow brick with a dragon pattern from the Han Dynasty. On the brick surface, two giant dragons look back at each other, their front claws holding a jade bi disk, forming a perfect "Two Dragons Supporting a Bi" design, with flowing cloud patterns dotted with lingzhi mushroom motifs. Who would have thought such exquisite carving skills would appear on an ordinary building brick? It turns out that as early as two thousand years ago, our ancestors decorated their daily lives with their longing for a better life. The site of the museum, the Jianfu Temple ruins, is itself a living history. Touching those uneven wall bricks, you can clearly feel the marks left by craftsmen—witnesses to the ancient "craftsman name engraving" system. Behind every brick and tile is the lifelong dedication of a group of unknown artisans. On sunny days, strolling through the ancient buildings, sunlight casts mottled shadows on the brick walls; on rainy days, the soaked blue bricks shine with a rustic luster. When viewing artifacts in Xi'an Museum, it's best to slow down. Those seemingly ordinary bricks and tiles often hide the most touching historical details. Be sure to pay special attention to the architecture itself—every ancient brick and every tile here is an artifact that speaks.
