Exhibition Overview:This exhibition brings together 165 exquisite artifacts (sets) from 17 cultural institutions across Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi. Centered on bronze ware—traditionally revered as "auspicious metal"—and complemented by a diverse array of jade, gold, and pottery artifacts, the exhibition vividly and comprehensively showcases the splendid bronze civilization of Southwest China from the Shang Dynasty to the Han Dynasty.
