My topic is about the memory of cultural relics.

After visiting many museums, I selected some artifacts to create. I added my own ideas, which came from observing cultural relics and understanding the stories behind them. Cultural relics have high research value and appreciation for our modern human beings. But for people at that time, it may also be a common thing in daily life.

For example, there are many mirrors in the museum, which are different from dynasty to dynasty, which represents the contemporary aesthetic and the level of labor production.
