The Guangxi Baiyue Culture Exhibition is an ongoing exhibition at the National Museum of China in Beijing, displaying a total of 135 sets of cultural relics from the provincial museum of Guangxi . The exhibition, running from March 15 to June 15, aims to give a vivid idea of how ancient peoples interacted with each other some 2,000 years ago before finally merging into the vast and diversified Chinese nation.

The term Baiyue, or a hundred Yues, refers to all the tribal branches of the aboriginal Yue inhabitants of south China from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476BC) to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).

Emperor Qinshihuang, founder of the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC), eventually defeated these southern tribes and established three counties, covering today's Guangdong, Guangxi, and the northern tip of Vietnam. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the former Qin general Zhao Tuo established the Southern Yue Kingdom, which lasted for about 100 years.
