The exhibition at the Nanyue King Museum showcases a wide variety of cultural relics from the Nanyue Kingdom, showcasing the material culture and way of life of the Lingnan region during the Nanyue Kingdom period. These include production tools such as shovels, iron spears, iron adzes, and hammers, as well as household utensils and building materials such as pottery tripods, pots, jars, nets, and bricks. These exhibits indicate that the managers of the Nanyue Kingdom actively introduced Central Plains iron farming tools, which changed the original state of "slash and burn farming" in the Lingnan region and greatly promoted the development of agricultural economy; A large number of skilled craftsmen migrated south, which led to a breakthrough in the handicraft production level of the Nanyue Kingdom compared to the pre Qin period. The exhibition showcases a batch of bricks and tiles with pottery inscriptions unearthed from the ruins of the Nanyue Kingdom's palace. These inscriptions contain information about the official institutions responsible for pottery making, the identity of the pottery workers, and their names, reflecting the Nanyue Kingdom's imitation of the Central Plains and the implementation of the "Wu Le Gong Ming" system. In addition, South Vietnam actively developed overseas trade. The glazed tube tiles, octagonal stone pillars, frankincense, golden flower bubbles and other exhibits exhibited in this exhibition are witnesses to Guangzhou's active overseas trade activities during the Qin and Han dynasties, and are important physical evidence of Guangzhou as the starting point of China's ancient "Maritime Silk Road" more than 2000 years ago. Among them, the glazed bricks and tiles of Nanyue Kingdom are the earliest batch of glazed bricks and tiles discovered in China. (New Society)
