On December 26, 2025, the National Museum of China opened a special exhibition, "Meeting with the Ruler of the Kingdom of Chu Kaole: Archaeological Finds from Tomb No. 1 at Wuwangdong." The exhibition features over 200 exhibits, most of which are being shown for the first time.

Wuwangdong Tomb No. 1, located in Huainan City, Anhui Province, is the mausoleum of Kaole (Xiong Yuan, ?-238 BCE), the ruler of the Chu kingdom, during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BCE). It is the largest and most complex tomb of a high-ranking ruler of the Chu kingdom to have been scientifically examined. During systematic excavations conducted from 2020 to 2024, archaeologists uncovered over 10,000 valuable artifacts. These finds provide important material evidence for the study of the Chu Kingdom, as well as the royal tomb system, burial complex planning, and burial customs of the period from the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC) and Eastern Zhou Dynasty (770-256 BC) to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-25 AD).

The exhibition systematically reflects the scientific process of archaeological excavations, reveals the contents of the burial of the ruler of the Chu Kingdom, Kaole, demonstrates the achievements of the material culture of the Chu Kingdom and reflects the cultural interaction during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC), comprehensively presenting historical information about Tomb No. 1 of Wuwandun.

Among the exhibits, a huge ritual bronze tripod, a "ho-ding," with a hole diameter of over 88 cm, is particularly noteworthy. To date, it is the largest known bronze "ho-ding" from the Warring States period. Ho-ding tripods were used in important ritual events, such as sacrifices and feasts, for the preparation of three types of sacrificial animals: ox, sheep, and pig. During the Warring States period, they were typically found only in the burials of high-ranking rulers.

The exhibition is organized by the National Museum of China jointly with the Anhui Provincial People's Government and will run for four months.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) — A unique "fireworks show" made of molten iron was held on the banks of the Huangpu River in Pudong New Area, creating a vibrant spectacle against the night sky, as part of the Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) cultural festival.

This alternative to fireworks – “Da tehua” (literally translated into Russian – “to carve iron flowers”) – was invented in ancient times by blacksmiths: when liquid iron reaches 1,600 degrees, it is thrown into the air using planks, resulting in a “rain of iron flowers.”
