Ready for a journey back to 475 BC? The Zidanku Silk Manuscripts of Wuxing Ling (Vol. II) and Gongshou Zhan (Vol. III)—the earliest known silk texts from China's Warring States Period—have joined the Hunan Museum in Changsha, Central China's Hunan Province. 🏺✨
These ancient scrolls are the only silk manuscripts discovered so far from that era. Uncovered decades ago, they offer a rare peek into philosophies, rituals, and daily life over 2,400 years ago. Talk about a blast from the past! ⏳
Illegally taken to the United States in 1946, these treasures finally returned to the Chinese mainland after 79 years abroad. Their homecoming marks a major moment for cultural heritage and history enthusiasts alike. 🗺️❤️
Whether you're a history buff, a culture explorer, or just love cool artifacts, these silk texts are a must-see. Next time you visit Changsha, swing by Hunan Museum and connect with ancient wisdom—straight from the source! 📜🌟
