An exhibition featuring 146 cultural and historical artifacts from 32 museums in 11 provinces of China will open at the National Museum of History (NMH) in Taipei in June, according to the NMU. The exhibition was held in several cities in Japan last year and recently is touring in China, but Taipeis exhibit features not only the historical relics, but integrates them with new technology and online games,said Pauline Kao, Deputy Director of the NMH. The Three Kingdoms era is a period in the history of China around the time of 220 and 280 AD. The period is relatively short, only about 60 years, but is one of the well- known eras in Chinese history because of the classic fictional epicRomance of the Three Kingdomsand the recent movieRed Cliff , Kao said. The exhibit, entitledLegends of HeroesXThe Heritage of the Three Kingdoms Era,will showcase more than 60 pieces of state-class or first grade antiques among 146 artifacts, said Victoria Lu, the organizer of the event. The exhibit will present many aspects of the period, such as the culture, arts, politics, and economy of those times, she indicated. One of the largest relics that will be on display is a burial suit that was made for the father of a warlord during that period, Cao Cao, following the father's death, Kao said. The suit is threaded with silver lining onto more than 2,000 decorative jade pieces. The tomb of Cao Cao was unearthed in Luoyang, Henan last year, according to Kao, adding that other than Japan and mainland China, the burial suit had never been shown anywhere else. In addition to displaying the relics, the museum will also use 3D virtual technology and modern online games to raise the interest of younger generation, Kao stressed. The exhibit will open on June 5 and run until Sept. 5.
