Special Recommendations 

Gallery S14  - Mirrors of Eternity
Bronze Mirrors, initially serving as sacrificial vessels during the Shang Dynasty (17th century BC - 1046 BC), were highly prized by kings and nobles in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods (770 - 221 BC). By the end of the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC - 9 AD), they had gained widespread popularity among the common people. The displays of various mirrors from various eras offer visitors a glimpse into the historical, aesthetic, and cultural transformations of ancient Chinese society.
