This is the first rural art museum in Hotan district, which was built on the basis of the renovation and reuse of traditional houses in southern Xinjiang, with a total area of about 500 square meters. At present, more than 300 Chinese paintings, oil paintings and calligraphy works are exhibited in the three exhibition halls, including the handwriting of artists such as Min Yinnan, Xi Zhenming, Zhang Leizhen, and the young creations of children in the village. Since its opening in October this year, the exhibition hall has given villagers a space to perceive, discover and create beauty.
Liu Xin, a village cadre in Ayagjorda Village, and Alamus, a teacher at Bashjorda Primary School, both majored in fine arts and used their spare time to teach painting at the art museum. "Taking the children to draw together allowed me to see their rich inner world and unlimited creativity and imagination." Liu Xin said that while teaching painting, he will also tell the children the story behind the paintings, guide them to understand the cultural value of each painting, and arouse their desire to create.

Peng Ziqian, deputy head of the "Visit huiju" task force of the Propaganda Department of the Autonomous Regional Party Committee in Ayagjorda Village, said that the rural art museum has also provided a creative platform and a source of creation for art workers who go to the grass-roots level to collect style.
"Building a rural art museum, letting the cultural xinjiang project take root at the grassroots level, letting China's excellent traditional culture nourish the spiritual world of the masses, and illuminating everyone's dream of a better life, this platform has played a positive role in building a common spiritual home of the Chinese nation."
