The Light of Zhou and Qin Civilization: Baoji Off-the-Beaten-Path Day Tour|||A Baoji trip for history lovers. Do some research on the history before you go to enhance your experience. First stop: Baoji Bronze Ware Museum Tips: Book tickets one day in advance on the official WeChat account. Free admission with ID card. Parking fee: CNY 5. Baoji Bronze Ware Museum is the largest bronze ware museum in China, with more than 1,000 bronze wares in its collection, including the Zhuang Pan and He Zun, which are national first-class cultural relics and prohibited from being exhibited abroad. The most important thing is that admission is free and it is very easy to book tickets! In 1963, two elderly members of the Chen family in Jia Village, Baoji, dug up an ancient bronze vessel while taking soil from a cliff. After cleaning it, they used it to store grain. In 1965, due to financial difficulties, they sold the bronze ware to a recycling station for CNY 30. In September of the same year, staff from Baoji Museum discovered the precious relic at the recycling station and bought it back for CNY 30. After identification, it was found to be a bronze wine vessel from the Western Zhou Dynasty, with 122 characters of inscription on the bottom of the inner tank, which is of great research value. The inscription "Zai Zi Zhong Guo" is the earliest written record of "China". This vessel is the national first-class cultural relic He Zun, which is prohibited from being exhibited abroad. Second stop: Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb Tips: Ticket price: CNY 30. Guide fee: CNY 50. Free parking. It is recommended to learn about the history or hire a guide before you go. Fengxiang, formerly known as Yongcheng, was the capital of the Qin State for 294 years from the first year of Duke De of Qin (677 BC) to the second year of Duke Xian of Qin (383 BC), making it the city where the Qin State had its capital for the longest time. Qin Gong No. 1 Tomb is the tomb of Duke Jing of Qin, and is the largest pre-Qin tomb excavated so far. The terrifying thing about this tomb is that there are 186 human sacrifices in the tomb, including not only slaves and craftsmen of low status, but also ministers and concubines of high status. They surrounded the coffin chamber according to different ranks, either voluntarily or forcibly, and died of poisoning before death. Duke Jing of Qin used the "Huang Chang Di Cou" burial system, where "Huang Chang" refers to cypress wood with a yellow heart, "Di" refers to the head of the wood, i.e. the end of the wood close to the root, and "Cou" refers to the inward aggregation. Huang Chang Di Cou is a burial system where cypress wood with a yellow heart is stacked outside the coffin, with all the heads facing inward. This noble burial system was originally an exclusive ritual for the Zhou emperor, but Duke Jing of Qin, as a vassal, used it inappropriately, implying the ambition and ambition of the rise of the Qin State.
