Zeng Zhou is a 31-year-old independent designer working on toy figure design. Inspired by a visiting experience at Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan, Zeng decided to design model figures imitating bronze relics of the Sanxingdui Ruins, which are believed to be remnants of the Shu Kingdom dating back 2,600 years to 4,800 years, blending traditional Chinese culture with fashion toys.
Zeng Zhou is now dedicated to optimizing his design and promoting mass production of his toy figures. I hope more collections of cultural relics of our country could be displayed by means of trendy, stylish designs, Zeng Zhou said.

ZHENGZHOU, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) Wearing white rubber gloves, a work-at-home archaeologist carefully dug into a soil clod on the table with a chopstick-sized shovel.
After a while, the shape of a rabbit head was revealed from the soil, which, after elaborate clean-up, turned out to be an exquisite bronze stamp.
The archaeologist, a netizen named Chudaiji, shared the mini-excavation experience on the Chinese social media platform Douban, which was forwarded on the Twitter-like Weibo.com, attracting tens of thousands of viewers and likes. It looks like so much fun. With gloves on for digging, it feels like being an archaeologist, posted a netizen named guazuqingbaoyuan, which means the intelligence agent of onlookers.
