The parts are displayed all around, and several complete replicas have been made to help people understand how the different parts were combined. My poor brain can't figure out how the ancient people from at least three thousand years ago designed these bronze artifacts. Is it easy to make molds for these designs?

Layer upon layer, and even with the replicas, it feels like there are still some missing pieces that haven't been assembled.

These photos should help everyone visualize how the various components fit together to form a complete artifact. Each piece is not small, so you can imagine how large the complete one must be. Moreover, it has been confirmed that at that time, welding technology was already in use. The ancient people, they were not as technologically advanced as today, but their craftsmanship far exceeded what we see now.image.png
The divine tree, the Fusang tree, after looking at the data online, I had no real concept of its height. Seeing it in person, it was divine, incredibly divine. Coupled with the design of the dome, I felt so insignificant.image.png
