A special event tagged #文物系荊楚祝福頌祖國#(bless Wuhan and China through cultural relics) went viral on Chinese social media.
為落實國家文物局黨組關於鼓勵各地文物博物館機構因地制宜開展線上展覽展示工作的要求，國家文物局官方微博“中國文博”聯合全國博物館和文物考古遺址類官方賬號組織開展“文物系荊楚祝福頌祖國”文物傳遞祝福接力活動，通過傳播文物蘊含的歷史價值、民族精神和文化力量，凝心聚力、提振精神，鼓舞各地特別是湖北省和武漢市抗擊疫情的決心和士氣，全力做好抗擊疫情工作。
The event was organized by China’s National Cultural Heritage Administration, with support from domestic museums, cultural departments or organizations of archaeological sites, to deliver messages of support and encouragement to our epidemic-stricken motherland through cultural relics, especially to Wuhan city.
活動由中國文物信息諮詢中心具體承辦，通過精美、豐富的文物展示，賦予美好寓意與祝願，既傳播歷史文化知識，又傳遞萬眾一心、共克時艱的精神力量，得到全國近百家文博機構的響應和參與，比如中國國家博物館、湖北省博物館、四川博物院、甘肅省博物館、周恩來鄧穎超紀念館、考古匯等微博官方賬號。
For now, hundreds of museums have participated in the event, posting specially-made pictures of precious relics with the same tag on their official accounts in Weibo, China’s twitter-like social media. The relics are carefully selected and most of them are with auspicious meanings, showing people’s blessings to Wuhan.
其中，來自廣州的文博機構等官方賬號，例如西漢南越王博物館、南越王宮博物館和南漢二陵博物館，積極參與文物傳遞祝福接力，優選館藏精品、發揮精彩創意、送上美好祝福。
Museums in Guangzhou city, including the Archaeological Site Museum of Nanyue Palace, the Museum of the Nanyue King of Western Han Dynasty and Southern Han Mausoleums Museum, also expressed their support for China through encouraging posters. Now, let’s check out some of them!

西漢南越王博物館
The Jade Drinking Vessel in Rhinoceros Horn Shape is especially worth mentioning here. Unearthed from the Nanyue King' s tomb, this high-profile vessel was carved from a whole piece of green and white jade, to form the shape of a rhinoceros horn.
It is said that this kind of vessel first appeared in the Crete Island, Greece, as early as in 1,500 BC, and was introduced to China through the ancient Maritime Silk Road as sea trade began to flourish 2,000 years ago.

從透雕龍鳳紋重紋玉佩、犀角形玉杯，龍虎並體玉帶鉤，到南越國“萬歲”瓦當，唐陶生肖鼠傭，西漢陶胡人傭座燈，東漢陶船模型，從龍鳳呈祥、將至太平，宅茲中國、安兮荊楚，荊山有玉、粵楚同天，到千秋萬歲、福祉延綿，福鼠呈祥、佑我中華，再到燈火長明、驅散陰霾，風雨同舟、共克時艱，每一件文物都傳遞對湖北的問候，每一句祝福都飽含對祖國的祝願和戰勝疫情的堅定決心。
It is expected that, through the event, Chinese citizens can better appreciate the values of the cultural relics and draw strength from the profound Chinese culture to fight against the novel coronavirus epidemic.
