The vessels from Jiuwutou reflect the Shang era's great attention to drinking rituals. Objects on show at the ongoing exhibition include those used for heating and storing liquor.

The exhibition also emphasizes the ongoing fight against tomb raiders. Several pieces of bronzeware that were looted from Jiuwutou were recovered by police, but experts cannot ascertain which tombs they were taken from. It means that part of the picture of the Ni state remains incomplete.

Gao hopes that the exhibition will increase public awareness about protecting cultural relics.
