There is no corresponding text translation for this cultural relic. His pronunciation is Lei. This Lei has experienced twists and turns, which makes people feel deeply. This is a bronze ware of the Shang Dynasty, 3000 years ago. It was unearthed in 1919 ad. the body of the lower part was snatched away and disappeared. In China, only the lid was left. In 1992, the curator of Shanghai Museum of China found the missing body in a Japanese home. In 2001, the Shanghai Museum participated in the auction in the United States, and was sold by the French for 9.24 million US dollars, a record price at that time. In 2014, the body was auctioned in the United States again. Entrepreneurs from Hunan, China, jointly auctioned the body and transported it back to Hunan, China. It was collected by the Hunan Museum of China. Finally, the cover and the body were combined into one. This Chinese treasure has been in China's own land for more than 3000 years. After a brief separation, it has returned to its native land. You see these, feeling? What's your idea?

Is it known what the function of this object was? It must surely have been a precious object when it was made, given the amount of work that must have gone into creating it.
