The Yangtze River Basin is an important distribution area of China's bronze civilization. In 1989, the archaeological excavation of the Shang Dynasty tomb in Dayangzhou Town, Xingan County opened the door to a "Bronze Kingdom" that had been dormant for 3000 years. Among the 475 bronze artifacts unearthed, the "Double-faced Divine Bronze Head" stands out as a masterpiece.

This cultural relic features a hollow and flattened head, symmetrical in front and back, with the upper circular tube at the top for accommodating feathers and other accessories and a square socket at the bottom for fixing the wooden handle. Its face exudes mystery and majesty.

Recently, this cultural relic was exhibited at the Jiangxi Provincial Museum and its mysterious smiling face with "eight teeth showing" made tourists eager to take photos and post them online. Nowadays, more than 10 cultural and creative products based on this cultural relic have been developed and are highly loved by tourists.
