The jade, bronze, blue-and-white and pastel porcelain in the museum not only tell about the glory of ancient Chinese civilization, but also the wisdom and warmth passed down by our ancestors, Chu said. "This time, we attempt to approach them in a more youthful and contemporary fashion and embark on a new innovative journey...we hope to learn from the great ancestors while using trendy creativity to continue the tradition and inject new life into the ancient artifacts."

The project was jointly produced by Shanghai Museum and Star Plus Legend Holdings Ltd. Vincent Fang, a renowned lyricist and long-time collaborator of Jay Chou, is the chief cultural officer of Star Plus Legend, and a cultural and creative consultant for the exhibition. Fang said that the show's theme "perfectly echoes our years of exploration in music creation: how to combine tradition and pop culture in an organic way and achieve the natural integration of ancient heritage and modern expression."
