The "Xia Zhu Jiuding" recorded in ancient history is a sign that opens the "home page" of the Chinese bronze civilization and has become a unique and valuable cultural heritage in the world.
Ma Jinhong, deputy director of the Shanghai Museum’s Bronze Research Department and research librarian, recently said in an exclusive interview with China News Agency “Ask East and West” that although the development process of Chinese bronze culture is completely different from that of western bronze civilization, There have indeed been similar totems, indicating that there have been exchanges between Eastern and Western bronzes since ancient times, or earlier than Zhang Qian’s mission to the Western Regions.
