　　The silk jade garments displayed in the exhibition hall are made of red silk and silk threads in series.

　　The jade clothing, also known as the jade casket and the jade box, is made of a large number of jade pieces worn and decorated.

Because of the different materials used to make jade pieces, they are divided into jade garments of gold thread, jade garment of silver thread, jade garment of copper thread and jade garment of silk thread.

Part of the jade piece of this silky jade garment of the king of Nanyue Zhao Yu is very similar to the jade unearthed at the Shixia site in Qujiang, Guangdong. It should be specially made by the court of the Nanyue Kingdom.

The jade dress was made in the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty (122 BC), which was about 10 years earlier than the jade dress made by Jing Wang Liu Sheng and his wife Dou Wan in the Han Tomb of Mancheng, Hebei.

　　According to experts, this silky jade garment in the form of a pair of breasts is a new type that has never been seen in the literature and archaeological excavations. It is an earlier complete set of jade garments seen in our country so far. Important physical information.

　　When it was unearthed, the corpse of the Nanyue King and the silk thread used to emboss the jade garment were decayed, and the jade pieces were scattered on the ground. Experts spent more than three years repairing and restoring it. Material resources.

At the same time, there are 5 jade bibs placed under the jade garment, and a double jade bib on the foot, and the jade bib is held in the hand.

　　The gold seal of a dragon button in the exhibition hall is also quite eye-catching.

This "Wen Di Xing Xi" dragon button gold seal unearthed in the tomb of the Nanyue King is an important identification certificate. It is not only the largest Western Han gold seal seen in archaeological excavations in my country, but also the only Han Dynasty dragon button emperor seal.

It broke the rule that the emperor's seal used white jade as the material and the tiger as the seal button during the Qin and Han dynasties. Together with the previously discovered "Queen's Seal" and "Emperor's Letter Seal" seal, the seal of Qin and Han Dynasty recorded in historical records system.

　　According to historical records, during the early Han Dynasty, the first generation of Nanyue King Zhao Tuo used to be called "Nan Yue Wudi", his grandson succeeded to the throne as the second generation of Nanyue Queen, and his name was "Nan Yue Wendi".

The third generation of Nanyue Wang Yingqi no longer presumed to be emperor, so "hidden his Xiwu Emperor Wendi Xi".

This gold seal was unearthed on the chest and abdomen of the tomb owner. It is the most reliable evidence of the identity of the tomb owner and is of great significance.

　　A total of 3 copper ovens were found in the tomb of the King of Nanyue.

When unearthed, the furnace was equipped with a variety of accessories for roasting, including iron chains for hanging the furnace, long forks for barbecue (both double forks and three forks), iron brazing, and iron hooks.

There are 4 suckling pigs on the wall of the oven, with the mouth facing upwards, indicating that the main purpose of the oven should be to grill suckling pigs.

　　There is also an iron fork next to the copper oven exhibits in the exhibition hall, which is also one of the many accessories for roasting on the oven when it was unearthed.

　　A piece of copper ginger is even more screaming that Cantonese have been very good at eating since the time of Nanyue.

The top half of this seasoning device is a square groove for rubbing the ginger, and then squeezing the ginger juice out of the leaking hole.

Experts speculated that the King of Nanyue might have a special taste for ginger juice as a supplement, so he brought it into the tomb.

　　During the Qin and Han dynasties, the social productivity of Lingnan area has been greatly developed, and agriculture has developed rapidly. Therefore, food resources have been developed to a greater extent than before, which laid the material foundation for the prosperity of Lingnan's food culture.

At this time, the people of Lingnan have begun to use various methods such as water moistening, fire cooking, baking, exposure, smoking, air drying, freezing, salting, fermentation and other methods to cook delicious dishes.

　　Many artificially cultivated melons and fruits were found in the tombs of the Southern Yue Kingdom. The identified ones are: citrus, peach, plum, lychee, olive, black olive, melon, papaya, cucumber, gourd, plum, bayberry, wild jujube, etc.

There are also exhibits of the flower bird bones in the exhibition. There are a large number of broken bones of the flower bird found in the three clay pots unearthed from the tomb of the King of Nanyue, none of which has a complete skeleton. At the same time, it is mixed with charcoal particles, which should have been processed by chefs from South Vietnam. Put it in the tank after processing.
