Dating back in the Shang Dynasty (1600BC–1046BC), the Fu Hao owl-shaped vessel (zun) artifacts are currently the oldest bird-shaped bronze ritual vessels ever discovered in China. A pair of these artifacts are housed separately in the National Museum of China and the Henan Museum. #ChineseCulture On May 19, these national treasures will be displayed together at the Grand Canal Museum—marking their first joint public appearance since their excavation in Henan Province in 1976. | Xi's Moments
