Entering the exhibition hall, the bronze "heavy weapon" of the Warring States period attracted the attention of the audience, which is a typical artifact of Pakistani culture - the Warring States Bronze Tiger Button. Curator Ding Yanfei introduced that the first of the "four golds" (錞于, bangle, 铙, Andot) of the ancient music began in the Spring and Autumn Period, flourished from the Warring States to the early Western Han Dynasty, and was found in the Yangtze River Basin, South China and Southwest China. A set of stone sculptures with the theme of four gods in the exhibition hall also attracted attention. According to Ding Yanfei, this set of combined stone sculptures comes from the Song Dynasty, all of which are graded cultural relics, some of which are collected by the Luxian Song Dynasty Stone Carving Museum, and were assembled for the first time in this Sichuan-Chongqing joint exhibition.

In this exhibition, a large number of tiger paintings are also exhibited, including 8 paintings of the original works of the famous tiger artist Yan Songfu. In addition, the Yibin Municipal Museum's collection "The Republic of China Zhang Shanxiao Set Up the Color Tiger Middle Hall" and the Shapingba Museum's collection "1928 Zhang Shanxiao Fierce Tiger Chart Axis" were jointly exhibited at the Jiangjin Museum at the same time.

Interesting paper-cutting activities were also carried out at the exhibition site. "Paper-cutting is one of Jiangjin's intangible cultural heritage skills." Ding Yanfei said that the Jiangjin Museum took the tiger as the theme, provided interactive public welfare activities such as print printing, ink painting and paper-cutting intangible cultural heritage skills for children, and also customized the Year of the Tiger cultural and creative calendar as a prize, hoping to let everyone feel the charm of traditional culture through edutainment.
