The exhibition displayed 518 pieces or sets of cultural relics from 48 museums and cultural organizations in 10 provinces.

It focused on the unique style and charm of the three cultural circles of Ba-shu culture, Jing-chu culture, and Wu-yue culture in the Yangtze River Basin during the Shang and Zhou dynasties (c.16th century - 256 BC), and provided a rare feast of the bronze civilization.

The exhibits were mainly bronze, including cultural relics unearthed in Sanxingdui and Jinsha sites, as well as some jade, gold and lacquerware created during the same period.

The exhibition can be viewed on the online exhibition hall at the official website of the Sichuan Museum.
