"Golden China special exhibition" [金色中国特展]

On November 6, 2013, the newly renovated Nanjing Museum will be officially opened to the public. China's largest, most complete and top-level gold ware Exhibition "golden China" presents a cultural and Expo feast for the public on the second floor of the special exhibition hall.

This exhibition brings together the most important archaeological discoveries of gold objects in Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Hubei, Yunnan and Jiangsu. Covering the East, West, North and south, the period lasted from the Warring States period to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is not only a history of Chinese gold ware development, but also a 3000 year history of golden China.

Gold is the most corrosion-resistant of natural metals, and the gold objects in the display cabinet look as bright as new. One of the earliest national treasures in the exhibition is a gold lamp with pan shaped patterns from the tomb of Marquis Yi of Zeng in Hubei Province. It has a dignified and dignified shape. The lid and belly of the cup are decorated with exquisite patterns. Its weight is more than 2kg, and the purity of gold is 99%. It is the largest and heaviest piece of gold ware unearthed in the pre Qin period. Gold products appeared in the Shang Dynasty 3000 years ago at the latest in China, but they were all accessories of other objects or people. The gold vessels used independently appeared in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. Hubei was an important gold producing area at that time. It was born out of the superb bronze casting technology. Once the gold ware developed independently, it was brilliant.

Gold plate of "Jiayuan"

Unearthed from nanyaozhuang hoard in Xuyi county during the Warring States Period

This is the currency of the state of Chu during the Warring States period. Although it has been more than 2200 years, it is still golden. Each piece is different in size. The largest one is about the size of a palm and weighs 610 grams. It is printed with 60 words of "fan yuan". Jiayuan is the currency of the state of Chu. When it is used, it is broken with something. The word "Jiayuan" is a unit.

The discovery of Jiayuan was legendary. On February 10, 1982, farmers in nanyaozhuang, Xuyi, Jiangsu Province were cleaning up the sludge in the drainage ditch. They left the highest place to the last newly married youth named Wan. The young man did not say anything. He took the shovel and excavated. What he did not expect was that when the first shovel went down, he came across a broken copper basin. He squatted down and saw golden beasts of gold. With the help of the elder brother, the two brothers dug out the bronze pot containing YingYuan and horseshoe gold. Later, Nanbo sent staff to recover these treasures to the museum.

So, who buried these three treasures? Because these national treasures are extraordinary and can only be collected by nobles, and Xuyi and Sishui were once the fiefs of Chunshen, the Prime Minister of the state of Chu, experts speculate that they were hastily buried by Chun Shen Jun. What kind of historical story happened is still a mystery.
