Discovering Asia's Origins: The Hong Kong Palace Museum Unveils an Exclusive Exhibition

In September 2024, visitors to the Hong Kong Palace Museum will have a unique opportunity to explore over 4,000 years of Chinese civilization. The exhibition titled Bank of China Hong Kong Presents: The Origins of Chinese Civilisation commemorates the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in October.

The highlight event, set to debut on September 25, will showcase nearly 110 priceless artifacts spanning from the Neolithic period through to the Xia dynasty. These treasures are drawn from significant archaeological findings dating back as far as 6,200 BC and will be displayed for the first time in Hong Kong.

This exhibition is a collaborative effort between the Hong Kong Palace Museum and 14 prominent institutions across China and Hong Kong itself. It features an impressive collection of national treasures classified at Grade One, some originating from the Neolithic periods of Chinese history.

The exhibition includes a diverse array of cultural items like ceramics, jade carvings, stone sculptures, bone objects, and bronze artifacts. The curation spans over 4 millennia, covering the transition from ancient societies to early states in Chinese history.

Among the highlights are a cloud-shaped jade plaque from the Hongshan culture approx. 4500-3000 BC, a bronze vessel from the Erlitou culture 1800-1500 BC, and an artifact from the Yangshao culture depicting plant motifs that could be one of China's earliest representations of mythical creatures.

These artifacts originate from archaeological sites across China, including nine major discoveries in regions like Beijing, Gansu, Liaoning, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hubei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, and Hong Kong. The exhibition will be divided into three distinct sections with a multimedia installation that brings visitors to the Shimao archaeological site around 2300 BC.

This installation provides an immersive experience by offering insights into the Liangzhu culture through relics unearthed at this ancient city. The exhibition will conclude on February 7, accompanied by ticket prices of HK$100 US$12.8 for adults and HK$50 for concessions.

For educators looking to enrich their students' experiences with Asian history or those interested in organizing group visits, the Hong Kong Palace Museum offers a unique educational opportunity.

Teachers' Note

The upcoming exhibition at the Hong Kong Palace Museum not only celebrates Chinese heritage but also serves as an invaluable resource for educators seeking to expand their students' cultural horizons. By integrating this event into lesson plans or field trips, teachers can facilitate learning experiences that bring ancient Chinese history and civilization to life.
