Wuwei Museum, the historical stories in the relics

Wuwei, a city I have longed for, not for the scenery, not for the food, but for the legendary stories that happened on this land thousands of years ago. The Yuezhi and Wusun once built cities and multiplied here, Emperor Wu of Han bestowed the name, the place where Huo Qubing fought, the place where the famous cultural relic 'Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow' was unearthed. Recently, after watching the documentary 'Hexi Corridor', I suddenly look forward to seeing it. I always feel it is like a mystery, extremely mysterious, and has some kind of touching solemnity. I started to explore its history from the Wuwei City Museum. The 5000-year civilization unfolds slowly. There are a large number of cultural relics from the Western Xia period. The ancient black striped patterns on the pottery are like mysterious symbols. I wonder if they have any deeper meanings. I saw a 1:1 replica of the Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow (5). I thought it was big, but it turned out to be quite small. The Han Dynasty wood carvings are extremely exquisite, depicting people simply but vividly. How could the craftsmen of that time be so remarkable, I really want to own one. Picture 7 shows a painted lacquer wood pigeon, a national treasure-level cultural relic. In the Tianladder Mountain Grottoes exhibition area, I saw a large number of murals, Buddha statues, stone pagodas... it can be described as a feast...
