Bring cultural relics to life

The Tang Dynasty gilded iron core copper dragon is a Tang Dynasty cultural relic unearthed in 1975 on Caochangpo in the southern suburbs of Xi'an, and is collected in the Shaanxi History Museum. The entire bronze dragon has a smooth and dynamic body, reflecting the vivid and majestic beauty of Tang Dynasty dragons. The image of dragons matured in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This gilded iron core bronze dragon can be regarded as a classic work.

Ms. Feng Jing, the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Jinhui Dui in Shaanxi Province, drew inspiration from this cultural relic from the Shaanxi History Museum to create a more modern bronze dragon painting. With her aesthetic sense, she endowed the bronze dragon with richer colors and scenes. The golden dragon flew in the auspicious clouds of the green mountains, and the cold cultural relic was instantly vivid and lively.

At the same time, various types of Tang Dynasty gilded iron core copper dragon insulated cups have also been introduced, making "cultural relics" come to life not just as a slogan.

This winter, we let cultural relics step out of the museum windows. The hot water in the cups not only warms us up, but the copper dragon pattern on the cup body also makes every cultural relic that carries our country's history and culture warm up in our hearts and engraved in our minds.
