The Asian Art Museum in San Francisco put on an exhibition of the Emperor's treasure.
About 115 Song Dynasty imperial artworks from the National Palace Museum of Chinese Taipei meet the public.
The Emperors, actually like the real humans, like you and me, they all have passion for art.
And through what they collect, what they make, and what they enjoy, we can get to know them.
To have a dialogue with them through all those wonderful exquisite objects that are in the exhibition.
The most popular and mouth-watering object is a piece of jasper stone, but in an absolutely realistic form of a braised pork belly.
You know, pork belly is the gourmet, a delicacy in Chinese cuisine.
And this particular recipe was associated with a very famous Chinese poet.
So it has been celebrated all over hundreds of years.
And this exhibition features, among many other treasures, this particular piece, which every year attracted 5 million people to go to Taipei to see.
