👑The ding came to be regarded as a paramount ritual vessel of the state, symbolizing royal authority and political power.
Hence, the establishment of a capital or the founding of a dynasty was often described as “setting up the ding.”
This Nipple-nailed square Ding with beast face patterns (1600-1300B.C.) is an important royal ritual vessel of the early Shang dynasty. It provides material evidence that the Shang established their capital in the Central Plains during this period.

Welcoming the Year of the Horse (2026) with a Gilt Bronze Horse！
February 17, 2026, marks “the First Day of the Year” (大年初一) in China. It is a time for new beginnings, family reunions, and hopes for the year ahead.
This gilt bronze horse from the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 to 220 CE) was unearthed in Luoyang, Henan Province, in 1974. The horse stands proudly with its head raised and mouth open, ears alert, a neatly trimmed mane, and a lifted tail. Delicate incised patterns decorate its body, capturing the vitality and strength of horses in ancient China.
May the Year of the Horse bring you courage, speed, and good fortune！

🔔Ringing in the New Year with “Enchanting Night at the Museum”!
As the final moments of the year approached, Henan Museum turned into a magical nighttime wonderland. From 21:00 on Dec 31 to 00:30 on Jan 1, Henan Museum came alive with late-night gallery access, free professional guided tours, intangible cultural heritage workshops including traditional woodblock New Year prints, stone rubbing, and traditional Chinese incense ceremony, live dance and music performances, traditional Chinese ancient music performance, immersive gallery theater, and a New Year lucky draw.

Even after midnight, the vibes were still high and the joy kept going.
Thank you for celebrating the New Year with us.
See you next New Year’s Eve ✨

🥳We are proud to present our new original exhibition on Confucius (Kong Qiu).
A philosopher. An educator.
A thinker whose ideas shaped East Asia for over two millennia.

🗺️The Journey of Practicing the Way: Confucius Traveling Among the States
弘道之行——孔子周游列国展
📅 Nov 28, 2025 — Mar 8, 2026.
🎫 Free Admission

Featuring 197 cultural relics from 28 Chinese cultural institutions, including the National Museum of China, the Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum, Shanxi Museum, Shandong Museum, and more.

The exhibition tells the story of 497 BCE, when Confucius left the State of Lu (in today’s Shandong) with his disciples and spent fourteen years traveling through major states of the Spring and Autumn period—now largely within Henan—spreading his teachings of ren (humaneness) and li (ritual order）.
