This exhibit features dozens of ceramic<br>figurines in the Changsha style, a type of pottery manufactured in southern China from the 8th to the 10th centuries CE. The figurines represent a range of subjects including domestic animals,<br>mythological creatures, commoners, elites, and esoteric symbols. This exhibit features original research by WFU students, including honors research conducted by Michelle Ye. Their work explores themes of miniaturization, ancient technology, and the culture of medieval China that inspired the figurines. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2025\/04\/Changsha-Wide-web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"exhibit gallery\" class=\"wp-image-12078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2025\/04\/Changsha-Wide-web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2025\/04\/Changsha-Wide-web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2025\/04\/Changsha-Wide-web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/prod.wp.cdn.aws.wfu.edu\/sites\/417\/2025\/04\/Changsha-Wide-web.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 29 &#8211; November 22, 2025 Experience the world of medieval China through the imaginative artistry of miniature ceramic figurines.
