This county-level museum houses national treasure-level, unique artifacts!

As a county-level museum, the Qingzhou Museum is already at the top level, with the largest scale, the most collections, and the most comprehensive categories. One of the museum's treasures, the Eastern Han Dynasty 'Yi Zi Sun' jade bi (Photo 1), is exquisitely carved and smoothly contoured, presenting a harmonious and unified beauty. It symbolizes the beautiful wish of 'prosperity for descendants and family harmony.' It is also the only jade bi from the Han Dynasty in China engraved with Chinese characters. Another treasure of the museum is the imperial examination paper of Zhao Bingzhong, the top scholar of the Ming Dynasty (Photo 2), which is also a highly valuable national treasure. The 'First Rank, First Place' personally inscribed by Emperor Wanli in red ink, Zhao Bingzhong's neat and elegant handwriting, and the pertinent reform suggestions in the paper all highlight the top scholar's great talent and vision. In addition, the statues unearthed from the Longxing Temple site (Photos 4, 5, 6, 9) are also quite exquisite. Although they suffered severe damage during several anti-Buddhist movements, their craftsmanship charm can still be felt. The ceramics, bronzes, calligraphy and paintings, stone carvings, and jade artifacts of the Qingzhou Museum are also worth savoring slowly. The categories are quite comprehensive, no wonder it is known as the 'small big museum.' This museum is definitely one worth visiting again and again. Qingzhou Museum
