Overview

From prehistoric times to the Qing dynasty, this hall traces the entire arc of ancient China. Neolithic painted jars, the Jade Dragon, a Warring States bronze “fridge,” the colossal Houmuwu Ding, the exquisite Siyang Fangzun, and Sanxingdui’s eerie masks—travel through Qin, Tang, Song, and Ming, where a crown of nine dragons and nine phoenixes gleams with imperial splendor, then onward to the Qing—the final chapter.
