>Bronzeware returned to China流失日本青銅組器'回家'Eight lost pieces of Chinese bronzeware with a history of over 2,500 years were returned from Japan in August, the National Cultural Heritage Administration announced on Tuesday. 國家文物局10日宣布，八件流失日本、擁有逾2500年歷史的中國青銅器已於八月回到祖國懷抱。In early March, the ritual artifacts from the early stages of Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) appeared in an auction catalog in Tokyo. 這些禮器源於春秋時期早期，曾於三月初出現在東京一家拍賣行的花名冊上。However, this set of bronzeware was believed to have been illegally taken out of China. 然而這組青銅器據信是通過非法途徑被運出中國的。Diplomatic negotiations and a criminal investigation soon began to seek the return of the eight artifacts. 我國立即針對這八件青銅器展開外交談判和犯罪調查，以尋求追回這些文物。The auction that had been scheduled for March 12 was suspended by the Japanese auctioneer. 日本拍賣行中止了原定於3月12日舉行的拍賣會。A Shanghai resident surnamed Zhou, who was the auction client, emerged as the likely responsible party in the case. 文物拍賣委託人、上海居民周某有重大犯罪嫌疑。He finally agreed to hand over the artifacts in July, and the Chinese embassy in Tokyo received them on Aug 20. 最終周某於7月同意上交文物，中國駐東京大使館於8月20日收到了這組青銅器。The artifacts arrived in China on Aug 23. 8月23日，這些青銅器抵達中國。The ancient bronzes will be included in an upcoming major exhibition on the achievements of cultural relic repatriation since founding of New China in 1949. The exhibition will be open at the National Museum of China on Sept 17.這些古代青銅器將作為展品於本月17日亮相國家博物館"新中國成立70周年流失文物回歸成果展"。
