Henan is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and is an important political, economic and cultural center in history. The three earliest dynasties in Chinese historical records-Xia, Shang and Zhou all established their capitals in Henan, leaving behind rich historical and cultural heritage.
Co-organized by the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Henan Museum, this exhibition presents a selection of valuable collections from the Henan Museum and a dozen other cultural institutions in Henan Province, with a view to enhancing the Hong Kong people’s understanding of the civilization and history of ancient China.
