Hey history buffs and culture geeks! Today, the Chinese mainland's oldest known silk texts are finally back home at Hunan Museum in Changsha, Hunan Province. 📜✨
These two scrolls – Zidanku Silk Manuscripts of Wuxing Ling (Vol. II) and Gongshou Zhan (Vol. III) – date all the way to the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). That's like 2,500+ years ago! Imagine preserving your day's diary on fine silk… epic tech throwback, right?
They were taken to the United States in 1946 and returned after 79 years, making this a historic comeback. This feels like unlocking a rare level in a history quest! 🎮🏺
