Hey there, history buffs and future explorers! 🌟 Have you ever thought a piece of ancient treasure could fit right on your refrigerator?
Well, the National Museum of China just announced something amazing! Their Phoenix Crown refrigerator magnet, inspired by the glorious crown worn by Empress Xiaoduan of the Ming Dynasty, has sold over 1 million units! That’s a lot of fridges wearing royal crowns! 🧲👑
Not only that, but the entire Phoenix Crown product line has made over 1 billion yuan (about $137.8 million)! That’s a record-breaking achievement in almost 20 years for the museum. To celebrate, they gave a special edition magnet and a certificate to the lucky person who bought the one-millionth magnet. 🎉
So, what’s so special about this crown? Empress Xiaoduan’s crown is a national treasure from the Ming Dynasty, which was over 400 years ago! It’s decorated with more than 100 rubies and sapphires, and over 4,000 pearls. Imagine how shiny and beautiful that must be! ✨
Lots of people visit the museum just to see this amazing crown. But since we can’t all wear it, the museum decided to create fun products inspired by it. Now, you can find not just magnets, but also notebooks, plush toys, skirts, ice cream, and more, all themed around the Phoenix Crown! Isn’t that cool? 🍦📝
This way, we can all have a piece of history in our everyday lives. It’s a fantastic way to learn about and appreciate the rich culture of China, while also enjoying some fun goodies. Maybe next time you’re at the museum or see these products, you’ll feel a bit like royalty too! 😊
History isn’t just in books; it’s all around us, and sometimes even on our fridges! So keep exploring and who knows, maybe you’ll discover your own favorite piece of history. 🧐📚
