In order to pay an affectionate tribute to the search for Chinese archaeology over the past century, this special exhibition of cultural relics that brings together the precipitation and thinking of three seasons of programs will take "Why China" as the theme and invite the audience to appreciate the painstaking crystallization of a century of archaeology.
In this exhibition, the major museums have come with precious collections, and among the national treasures that will be unveiled in the special exhibition, there are not only the highly popular cultural relics since the three seasons of the program, such as the Dish Fangmu, the Shang Martingale Fangsheng, the Changxin Palace Lamp, the Jin Ou Yonggu Cup, and the Shang Zhou ShiFu, as well as the precious treasures that have appeared in the "National Treasure" for the first time, such as He Zun, the Seven Huang Group Jade Pendant, the Ejun Qijin Festival, the Tang Persian Peacock Blue Glazed Pottery Vase, and the Tang Monk Sutra Pillow.
While inviting the vast number of literary and art workers and enthusiasts to create and perform "literary and art exhibits", the "National Treasures Exhibition and Performance Season" also sent another team to various places to re-visit the museums since the three seasons of "National Treasures" and assist the curators in making different national treasure IDENTITies for the special exhibition.
