Chinese women and their friends line up to take a photo with an ancient ceramic figurine

It is believed that this will help preserve friendship.

A tiny ceramic figurine dating back 1,600 years has become popular in the Luoyang History Museum. It depicts two women standing side by side and holding hands, symbolizing strong female friendship. It touched the hearts of thousands of visitors. Girls began to dress up in traditional outfits and pose in front of the figurine, imitating the poses of the porcelain friends.

The museum even rebuilt the exhibition to make it easier to photograph the figurine, and social media began calling the object “best friends for millennia.”
