Hei Tiki: The "ancestral WiFi" relic

Ever wondered if a relic could be both a "fashion statement" and a "spiritual hotspot"? In this episode, Pingtan in Collections dives into Hei Tiki—the Māori people's ancestral talisman now housed at Pingtan Keqiutou Site Museum.

Shaped like China's "Monkey King" (Sun Wukong), this tiny relic packs big meaning: it's a pregnancy protector for women, a courage booster for warriors, and a "fast pass" to connect with ancestral power (think of it as "ancestral WiFi"!).

Join us to uncover how this cute yet sacred piece bridges Māori traditions and Pingtan's cultural story—you'll never look at "monkey-shaped" relics the same way!
