Anyang and Handan Ancient Capital Tour Part 5: Northern Dynasties Archaeological Museum

This is a very niche museum. Most of the exhibits come from the Eastern Wei Princess Ruru and the Northern Qi Gao Yang Tomb The rest are cultural relics unearthed from the tombs of Yuan Hu, Yuan Liang, Lanling King Gao Su, etc. Princess Ru Ru married and came to the Central Plains at the age of 5 and died of illness at the age of 13. She was of noble status, so "the funeral ceremony should be excellent and constant." In addition to a large number of terracotta figurines, there are also two Byzantine gold coins. In addition, the epitaph of Princess Ruru records that Gao Huan's tomb is nearby, which contradicts the theory of the Xiangtangshan Giant Buddha Cave. There is also a special exhibition here that is a 1:1 replica of Gao Yang's mausoleum. The murals on both sides of the corridor are very exquisite. The Eastern Wei and Northern Qi established their capitals in Yecheng, and the political and cultural centers were also moved here, creating a diversified cultural peak in the Northern Dynasties.
