An exhibition themed around Zhang Jian, a modern Chinese industrial magnate and scholar, started its national tour at the Nantong Museum in Nantong, East China's Jiangsu province, on May 14.

On display are more than 150 sets of precious cultural relics, which are divided into three sections focusing on Zhang's life, achievements, and entrepreneurship, respectively.

As part of Jiangsu's promotional program to spread outstanding traditional culture and cultivate core socialist values, the exhibition will be held in at least eight municipalities, provinces, and autonomous regions, including Zhejiang, Shanghai, Sichuan, and Xinjiang, until 2022.
