@chinacg_nyc: Welcome to Day 4 of 10 Days, 10 Treasures. Today’s highlight is the Golden Sun Bird of Ancient Shu, a delicate gold foil artifact from the 12th century BCE. 🌞 Discovered in 2001 at the Jinsha Site in Sichuan and now housed in the Jinsha Site Museum, this 0.2mm-thin ornament features four phoenixes circling the sun in an elegant, counterclockwise dance. Symbolizing immortality and light in ancient Chinese mythology, it became China’s official cultural heritage emblem in 2005. #AncientShu #JinshaSiteMuseum #CulturalHeritage #China #ancient
