Unfortunately, it hit the rocks and sank in the waters of Belidong, Indonesia. It is an important witness to the cultural and commercial exchanges between China and the West in the first half of the ninth century and the development of China's Maritime Silk Road in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
After being salvaged at the end of last century, Blackstone has sunk many kinds of cultural relics, including ceramics, gold and silver, bronze, iron, coins, glassware and various spices. Among them, the number of ceramics is the largest, reaching an astonishing 67,000 pieces, covering almost the products of the most famous kilns in the north and south of the Tang Dynasty, such as Yue Kiln, Xing Kiln, Changsha Kiln and Gongyi Kiln. What is particularly striking is the appearance of three complete blue-and-white porcelains in the Tang Dynasty, which strongly proves that blue-and-white porcelains in China originated in the Tang Dynasty.

The exhibition, jointly organized by Shanghai Museum and Singapore Asian Civilization Museum, includes 168 selected precious cultural relics, as well as various representative objects such as ceramics, gold and silver utensils unearthed or collected in China.
