Everlasting Happiness: Life and Death for Western Han Royalty With Jay Xu
The upcoming exhibition Tomb Treasures: New Discoveries of China's Han Dynasty, is a sequel to China's Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor's Legacy, and presents the next episode of storytelling about the splendors of Imperial China. Jay's lecture will explore the highlights of this exhibition, which includes a jade full-body suit, bronze bell chimes, and over 100 recently-unearthed objects. He will also explore ideas about life and death among the Western Han royalty and their passionate pursuit of life and search for longevity.
