Five historic relics from Guangzhou Museum were selected and put on display at the National Museum of China on May 13 during the Asian Civilization Exhibition, a key part of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations. 

The exhibition was held by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the National Cultural Heritage Administration, aiming to trace the development of various civilizations in Asia and promote communication between different cultures, civilizations, and nations across Asia.

The five relics include a human figure oil lamp that dates back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24) and an agate bead accessory made during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).
