On February 14, at the 2022 Beijing News Center Media Open Day held in Beijing, more than 100 Chinese and foreign journalists visited the Forbidden City, watched the Opening Year exhibition, and read about China among more than 130 cultural relics selected from 30 museums across the country. As early as February 13, Chuanguan News reporters greeted Ruixue and came to explore the exhibition.
In the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City, "Why China - Ancient Chinese Civilization and "National Treasures" Special Exhibition" is being held. Among them, the bronze god tree branch head standing bird, copper sun shaped instrument, Hou Shu remnant stone sutra, these three cultural relics from Sichuan are also exhibited. It is understood that the copper solar shaper was excavated in 1986 in Sanxingdui No. 2 Pit, named because of its shape resemblance to the sun. At the time of the origin of Chinese civilization, agriculture, as the main mode of social production, was very dependent on the energy of the sun. Therefore, our ancestors had complex feelings about the sun very early on, and the copper solar shaper of Sanxingdui may be a witness to this emotion.

The official Confucian scriptures officially inscribed on the stele in ancient China, known as the Confucian "Stone Classics", are the standard scripts on which scholars study and write scriptures, and play an important role in standardizing the writing and promoting education. The Later Shu Remnant Stone Classic was born more than a thousand years ago at the time of the five generations of chaos, and after two hundred years of continuous engraving, it finally gathered the Confucian "Thirteen Classics" on the bluestone, which is the longest time-consuming and largest of the Stone Classics of Chinese dynasties, which is both engraved scriptures and annotated texts, and the annotations are parallel, and the school carvings are precise, the style is strict, and it has long been loved by Xuelin, which has a very important impact on the formal stereotyping of the "Thirteen Classics" of Confucianism and the formation of the Confucian classic "Literature Model".
Jade Dragon
It is understood that the more than 130 precious cultural relics exhibited in this annual exhibition, from the Stone Age to the Qing Dynasty, include stone tools, ceramics, jade, bronzes, gold and silverware, calligraphy and painting, ancient books, seals and other categories, including He Zun, Changxin Palace lamp, Tibetan "Four Medical Classics" and other well-known national treasure heavy objects.
In the exhibition hall, the cultural relics in the three central display cabinets can be regarded as the most important. Among them, occupying the "C position" is He Zun, which has a 122-character inscription on the bottom of this bronze, and the inscription "Zhaozi China" means that "China" is the capital city built in this place. This is the earliest known word for "China", although it refers to Luoyang and the surrounding area at the time. The other two heavy cultural relics are the Jade Dragon excavated from Yuhang Anti-Mountain in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and the Jade Dragon from the Palace Museum.
