In order to showcase the achievements of the Archaeological Research Project on the Origins of Chinese Civilization,the Shaanxi History Museum has planned a series of exhibitions from the perspectives of painted pottery,jade artifacts,and metallurgy,respectively,to interpret the great process of the origin and early development of Chinese civilization.As the second part of this series,the exhibition entitled"Chinese Archaic Jades-Cultural Collision and Integration in Prehistoric China"focuses on the interaction and rise and fall of various regional civilizations in the early and late periods of the ancient state era,and explores how jade ritual objects promoted and strengthened the developmental pattern of the origins of civilization,including the begining of divine power,military power,and royal power.By refining the exhibition theme,sorting out the key narrative points,and"re-contextualizing"the exhibits,the exhibition planning team has constructed the exhibition story text,achieved a clear theme under the guidance of a coherent idea,and presented the exhibition narrative with a clear storyline and logical structure supported by the rich and vivid information conveyed by the exhibits.
