Tomorrow night will be Chinese New Year's Eve (Chinese New Year's Eve), and every household across the country has long been in full swing to prepare, full of flavor of the year. Even the museums in various cities have quietly become lively, staging a "taste of the year in the museum" opening drama.
While families across the country prepare for Chinese New Year's Eve meals, let's take a look at the "Chinese New Year's Eve meals" in the museum! Representative museums are in no particular order, including Hubei Provincial Museum, Shaanxi History Museum, and Luoyang Museum.
"Chinese New Year's Eve rice" in the Hubei Provincial Museum: dry grilled fish with fine wine, plus a New Year refrigerator
Hubei people's taste of the year is indispensable for a Jingchu diet. The Warring States dried roasted fish hidden in the "800 Years of the State of Chu" exhibition hall of the Hubei Provincial Museum can be described as one of the representative exhibits of Jingchu food culture, which has a history of more than 2,000 years. Many Wuhan people affectionately call it "Wuchang fish". "Eat Wuchang fish", "more than every year", "there is fish for a thousand years".
Food goes hand in hand, and wine is a must. Hubei people can get too many wine vessels, but the largest and oldest wine vessel is also the Hubei Provincial Museum's large bronze zunyun, which can store 800 kilograms of wine, which is the largest bronze wine vessel unearthed in ancient times, with a height of 126 cm, a belly diameter of 100 cm, and a weight of 327.5 kg.
With it, presumably when the people of the whole country are watching the Spring Festival Gala, the cultural relics in the Hubei Provincial Museum are already drunk.
What should I do if the dish is not finished? What should I do if I want to drink icewine? Zeng Hou Yi Tongjian from more than 2,000 years ago came on, which is the earliest "refrigerator" on the mainland. It consists of two artifacts, inside and outside; The exterior is 63.2 cm high, and the inside is a statue, which is 51.8 cm high and weighs a total of 170 kg.
It is worth mentioning that the prototype of the array designed at the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games came from here.
Shaanxi History Museum: Golden bowl with onyx cup, everything you eat is mountain and sea delicacies
I have to say that the Shaanxi History Museum with the background of the Tang Dynasty is proud, compared to the gourmet food, the display of eating utensils is breathtaking, and everything you eat feels like mountain and sea delicacies. Exquisite and noble mandarin duck lotus petal pattern gold bowl (a total of two pieces were unearthed), who is not moved when they see it?
According to experts, these two Tang Mandarin Duck Lotus Petaled Golden Bowls are the most magnificent gold bowls seen in the Tang bowls that have been unearthed. It is speculated that it may have been a wine vessel used by the royal family.
The walls of the two bowls are pounded into two layers of outward-bulging lotus petal patterns, each layer of ten pieces, the upper and lower contours are combined, each lotus petal unit is engraved with decorative patterns, the upper theme is animal patterns, and the lower layer is a single honeysuckle flower decorative pattern. The inner walls of the two bowls are respectively ink books "nine two halves" and "nine two three".
As the "treasure of the town hall", the gold-encrusted beast head agate cup, I believe that everyone who has been to the Shaanxi History Museum has witnessed its brilliance. This is a rare and special wine vessel that can be called the only one in the country.
It is a horn-shaped cup with a beast head made of a single piece of agate, with a round carved animal figure at the front end and gold inlaid in the mouth (actually a wine stopper), which is the only beautiful jade carving of the Tang Dynasty seen so far.
"Chinese New Year's Eve rice" in Luoyang Museum: red-skinned eggs with jade liquid
The cultural relics in the Hubei Provincial Museum opened their bellies to drink wine and eat meat, and the thousand-year-old red-skinned eggs in the Luoyang Museum could not sit still. The red egg shell from the Western Jin Dynasty has a history of more than 1,600 years. But because the eggshell was broken (to the extent that it could not be repaired) when it was unearthed. The objects currently on display in the Luoyang Museum are models.
This is a white jade cup from the Cao Wei period, a rare jade treasure in the Cao Wei period, with a height of 11.5 cm and a diameter of about 5 cm, which is currently the only one in the country.
This is one of the treasures of the Luoyang Museum, although it is small, it is radiant and exquisite, and impresses people with its flawless beauty. Such a pure and flawless drinking vessel, it must be a jade liquid poured into it.
