City tourism, there is such a place, in my opinion, it is necessary to go, that is, the museum.
Whether it is cultivating temperament, learning education, or increasing insight, the museum can be said to satisfy people's curiosity about the lives of ancient people thousands of years ago, and also enrich the current thinking about the past and the future.
It is not only a collection of historical relics, but also a space for future generations to trace history, and it is the best place to know a city and start a city tour.
As we travel between cities, the museum is a three-dimensional history book, with countless civilizations and heritages, and is the world's most splendid and brilliant cultural treasure house. Today I am sharing with you two special museums.
One is the Jingzhou Museum and the other is the Luoyang Museum.
Luoyang and Jingzhou seem to be two cities that do not intersect, the former is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and the latter is actually an ancient capital.
Luoyang, there is a saying of "in the world"; Jingzhou, far away in Taikoo, China's nine states, Jingzhou is the center of a state. The two cities play their respective roles in the long river.
When we mention Luoyang today, we think of Shang, Zhou, Tang, and even Xia; when we mention Jingzhou, we think of the Chu State, the Three Kingdoms, and so on. History has given them different development directions and trajectories of action, and also allowed them to own and leave different Chinese civilizations and heritages.
Some people say that the Luoyang Museum is one of the most powerful museums in China's prefecture-level cities, and there is no one. In my opinion, the Jingzhou Museum, which is also a prefecture-level city, is not weak at all. On the degree of like, tied for first.
In 1994, jingzhou museum was awarded the title of "top ten museums" in China by experts from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and in May 2008, Jingzhou museum was included in the list of national first-class museums.
When I first visited the Jingzhou Museum, I was not only shocked by the cultural relics in the collection, but also by the staff inside.
The historical precipitation of a city and the cultural self-confidence of a city, the security uncles of the Jingzhou Museum have set a very positive example.
To this end, I also wrote an article describing them as "sweeping monks", extraordinary skills, and hidden (interested friends can go to search, and I will not repeat them here).
The Jingzhou Museum has a collection of more than 130,000 cultural relics, including 492 sets of national first-class cultural relics, including the Mashan Warring States Silk Fabric, which is praised by experts and scholars as the world's "silk treasure house"; the Chu Han Jian Mu, which fills the gaps in the historical records and is known as the underground library; the Chu Qin and Han lacquer wood utensils, which account for three-fifths of the total number of the country, such as the Tiger Seat Phoenix Bird Hanging Drum, as well as the Ancient Corpse of the Western Han Dynasty, the Warring States Toad Phoenix Bird Feather Man, etc.
As one of the great powers and powers of the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the ancestors of Chu "swept the blue wisps of the road and opened up the mountains and forests" to create a splendid Chu culture and create the famous Lao Zhuang philosophy, Chu ci song, and fine art and dance.
In the pre-Qin period, the bronze industry of the Chu State was already very developed, making it not only one of the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period, but also ranked among the seven heroes of the Warring States, and was the first major princely state with "five thousand miles in the place and one million in armor".
As the capital of the Chu Kingdom for more than 400 years, Jingzhou has created and left a legacy that is breathtaking.
Walk into the Jingzhou Museum, try not to miss every exhibition area as much as possible, and if time is limited, focus on the Treasures Museum.
It is understood that the upgraded treasure hall has a display area of nearly 2,000 square meters, and the main exhibits are ancient lacquered wood ware, and there are three major functional areas.
Because when I first visited the museum, I encountered that the treasure hall was under maintenance, and I could not see the ancient corpses of the Western Han Dynasty, which was quite regrettable. However, the cultural relics in other exhibition areas and the security uncle of the museum still made me harvest full of rewards, and I did not waste this trip.
At the same time, Luoyang Museum is also an unforgettable trip, dialogue with history, spiritual exchanges with ancestors, luoyang museum style is not only a display of cultural relics.
When I am in the "world", when I walk in the thousand-year-old capital, the Luoyang Museum must go.
Luoyang Museum, due to the accumulation and precipitation of thousands of years of Heluo culture, has become one of the symbols of the ancient capital tour. The space here is more like a gushing river of history.
As one of the first national first-class museums, whether it is the treasures in the collection or the history on display, the splendor and prosperity of the Heluo culture are destined to be different in this ancient land.
The museum is very large, divided into upper and lower floors, with a total of seven pavilions, more than 400,000 cultural relics in the collection, more than 11,000 cultural relics on display, and the collection is in the forefront of museums in the country. Among them, the treasure hall must slow down, and each treasure is worth stopping and appreciating.
White jade cups of the Cao Wei period, black glazed three-colored horses of the Tang Dynasty, Eastern Han Stone To Ward Off Evil Spirits, Qing Dynasty Golden Silk Nanmu Pagoda, Northern Wei Buddha Face Fragments, etc.
Among them, the white jade cup of the Cao Wei period is almost one of the first treasures of the town hall recommended by Luoyang netizens, but the most heartwarming to me is the fragment of the Northern Wei Buddha's face. It is understood that it is recognized as the most attractive and popular collection in the entire Luoyang Museum.
Because of it, I became very interested in the ruins of Yongning Temple. But before I could visit it, I had to finish reading The Tale of Luoyang Galan. I think that's the most fascinating place to visit the museum.
Whether it is Jingzhou Museum or Luoyang Museum, these two museums with their own characteristics and unique cultural charms are worth stopping and tasting. Among them, the cultural relics displayed in the Luoyang Museum and the historical axis that run through it are more substantial and full.
