China Cultural Relics Exhibition of Royal Ontario Museum.

At the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the exhibition of China's cultural relics occupies almost half of the exhibition area on the first floor of the main building. Among them, the most precious is the Oracle bones unearthed from the ruins of the capital of Yin Shang Dynasty. These Oracle Bone Inscriptions were used by the Yin people for divination. It is engraved with words, which is a record of the process and cause and effect of this divination activity. This kind of writing is called Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

The four exhibition halls in China include: ancient art, Buddhist art, architectural art and sculpture. When you enter the China Museum of Cultural Relics, the first thing you see is the China Temple Art Exhibition Area named after William Charles White, which mainly displays the murals of China Temple in the late 3rd century A.D./KLOC-0, as well as the woodcarving cultural relics of Buddhism and Taoism in the same period.

On the wall of the exhibition area, there are three huge murals embedded respectively. One of the biggest paintings is called "Maitreya's Paradise". On this mural with a width of 1 1.6 meters and a height of 5.8 meters, the figures are different and lifelike. The words on the exhibition board in the exhibition area show that this mural is from Xinghua Temple (Jishan) in Shanxi Province, and it is a masterpiece in the murals of ancient temples in the Yuan Dynasty in China. The murals on both sides are not small in size, and the collection is suspected to be from Longmen Temple in Shanxi (Pingshun). In order to protect these cultural relics, in addition to setting up a small fence in front of the murals, the lighting is darker than other exhibition halls, and it is not allowed to take pictures with flash.

Huge Yuan Dynasty murals, statues of bodhisattvas and three-color arhats from Shanxi are all exquisite. Entering the China Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall of the Museum, a large number of China art treasures such as ceramics, bronzes and Oracle bones are dazzling. In William Charles White Bishop China Temple Art Exhibition Room, a large number of Buddhist statues and murals attracted audiences from all over the world: statues of Sakyamuni, Lotus Hand Bodhisattva, Guanyin, Manjusri and Pu Xian, all of which reflected the charm of ancient Buddhist sculpture art in China.
