Exhibition Overview: This exhibition marks a grand assembly of bronze cultures from across six Chinese regions, making its debut at Qingzhou Museum. It gathers 184 exquisite artifacts (sets) from 20 cultural and museum institutions, including representative pieces from Shandong, Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, many of which are classified as national treasures.
Structured into five thematic sections—"Prologue," "The Sichuan-Chongqing Region," "The Yunnan Region," "The Guizhou-Guangxi Region," and "Integration into Huaxia Civilization"—the exhibition offers a panoramic view of the distinct bronze civilizations of the Bashu, Yelang, Ancient Dian, and Ouluo cultures. It highlights their unique creativity, ritual practices, and material life, while tracing their dynamic exchanges and integration with the Central Plains civilization. Through archaeological evidence and artistic narrative, the display showcases the extraordinary imagination and pluralistic unity of Chinese civilization.
