Questions of perspective

One of the highlights of the collections housed at the Hubei Provincial Museum is a sword, upon which are inscribed words showing it belonged to Goujian, a king of the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC). Although preserved underground in a tomb for more than 2,000 years, the weapon is in extremely good condition without any corrosion.
