The three characters “Jun Xing Shi”, which means “Please enjoy your food”, carved on cultural relics such as small lacquer plates and eared lacquer cups reflect the ancient people’s emphasis on daily life, and also convey the blessing of eating well from more than two thousand years ago to modern young people who also love tasty food.
The numerous cosmetics unearthed from Tomb No.1 reveal people’s pursuit of beauty in ancient times. Well-preserved entertainment equipment allows modern people to imagine the lively scenes of leisure during that time.
