Move over TikTok—2,000-year-old pottery just dropped the *ultimate* time capsule! 🤯 Archaeologists in Guangdong Province’s Zhaoqing Museum have unveiled vibrant clay relics showcasing daily life from the Han to Tang dynasties. From a quirky duck figurine 🦆 to a miniature house with a toilet in the courtyard (yes, really!), these artifacts are like ancient Instagram posts frozen in time. 🏠
Long before porcelain took over, pottery was everywhere—bricks, burial objects, even humble cooking pots. One standout? A livestock pen and unadorned ding vessels that once symbolized social status. 💎 Talk about #ThrowbackThursday! These relics bridge millennia, proving that life back then wasn’t so different: families, homes, and even pets mattered. 🐾
“It’s like stepping into their world,” says one curator. The exhibit sheds light on how China’s ancient residents cooked, built, and celebrated—no hashtags needed. 📜✨
