Among them, the national treasure Tiger Chain reappeared in the Year of the Tiger after returning to China. The bronze heavy weapon tiger lock cast in the Western Zhou Dynasty, once a collection of the Imperial Garden of the Qing Dynasty, was exiled to a foreign country in the catastrophe of modern nationalities and cultures, and after more than a hundred years of wandering, under the efforts of many parties, it returned to the embrace of the motherland in 2018 and entered the National Museum of Tibet.
