Ancient Chinese bronze civilization began in the Xia Dynasty and flourished in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Because it was used to reflect the status of strict hierarchy, it was widely used in the activities of the noble class, such as offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, feasting guests and other etiquette exchanges, so it was called ritual vessels. Bronze vessels became an important symbol of social civilization at that time. Almost every bronze vessel condensed the wisdom and creation of our ancestors and became outstanding works of art. Although time has passed thousands of years, many bronzes still have infinite artistic appeal, which makes people admire and admire. Since the establishment of Poly Art Museum in 1998, it has carefully focused on the collection and exhibition of ancient Chinese bronzes with historical and artistic value, and determined the policy of seeking perfection, treasure and rarity instead of quantity.

Starting from burning Yuanmingyuan

In 1860, the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing. At the same time, they broke into the Yuanmingyuan, which is known as the "garden of ten thousand gardens", plundered the treasures and set fire to the famous royal garden. 140 years later, the poly Museum of art in Hong Kong rescued and protected three national treasures of Yuanmingyuan, namely, the bronze statue of ox head, the bronze statue of tiger head and the bronze statue of monkey head. When the "Yuanmingyuan national treasure national tour exhibition" held by the museum was successively exhibited in more than 20 central cities in China and Taiwan, countless people's hearts set off waves of heat.

There is no greater shame than national shame. The fire in Yuanmingyuan has been burning the hearts of Chinese people. However, the "fine display of ancient Chinese bronze art" and "fine display of ancient Chinese stone carving Buddhist statue art" of Poly Art Museum have given Chinese people unprecedented pride.

In December 1999, when the Poly Art Museum was completed and officially opened to the public, what attracted people's attention was not only hundreds of treasures, but also the collection tenet of "seeking perfection, rarity and rarity instead of abundance". This museum is the first one set up by a large state-owned enterprise in China, and the vast majority of the collections here come from overseas. We can imagine that there will be a moving story behind the return of each treasure.
