The earliest bronzes of the Western Han Dynasty in Hunan are the Shang Dynasty site of Tonggushan in Yueyang and the Shimen soap market, which is about 3500 years ago. In the late Shang Dynasty, Hunan entered the heyday of bronze culture, and a number of bronzes with both Central Plains characteristics and local characteristics appeared. Bronzes with southern characteristics began to appear in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and Chu bronzes also appeared, which constituted the situation that Chu bronze culture dominated Hunan in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and various bronze cultures coexisted.
Hunan Shang and Zhou bronzes play an important role in China bronze culture. Hunan Provincial Museum has a large collection of Shang and Zhou bronzes. Hunan Shang and Zhou Bronze Exhibition selected 72 bronzes, with jade 1 1 pieces accompanying bronzes. Although it is only a small part, we can see the development of Hunan bronze culture, and we can also learn about the bronze and animal-shaped objects in it, which enriches China bronze culture.

On the basis of Tang and Song Dynasties, Dong Qichang's calligraphy works in Ming and Qing Dynasties tend to be personalized, emphasizing two major trends: traditional imitation and reform and innovation. The school of "Antique" pays attention to the inheritance of tradition and the expression of techniques, while the school of "Innovation" pays attention to the connotation of painting and the form of pen and ink. At the same time, it advocates the organic combination of poetry, calligraphy and seal, which makes the artistic conception of Chinese painting more meaningful, profound and implicit.
There are many Ming and Qing paintings in the museum, some of which are rare in China. The 58 works on display in the exhibition hall are only fragments of Ming and Qing paintings, but they can be related to the development of Ming and Qing painting art.
