Along with the spring of 2022, there is also the country's first sawing machine museum, the "Saw Museum".
Originally a workshop in the Sawrihuang factory, the founders rebuilt it as the center and rebuilt it around it. The exterior of the museum is dominated by red and blue, and is covered with a large area of aluminum alloy materials. In the sunlight, it is "like a dazzling silver box".
After two years, the civilization equipped with production tools, the wisdom of the sawing machine industry and the dream of a town, the "saw museum" of more than 1400 square meters arrived as promised.
1] Human civilization in the tools of production and life
At the entrance of the "Saw Museum" of Jinyunhu Town Industrial Park, a Luohan pine is elegant and elegant, shaking in the wind.
Stepping into the gate, the gray and white embellishments blend together, and the simple log color matching makes the space within the field of view integrated, transparent and open. Directly ahead, a line of words appears lightly on the log-colored wall panels: the emergence and development of tools has promoted the continuous progress of human society, and Saw Lihuang has been doing the same thing.
"Saw Museum" takes the development context of the sawing machine industry as the main axis, and is divided into eight theme exhibition halls of domestic archaeology, foreign development, Jinyun sawing machine, spiritual source, product display, partner, medal of honor, and dream of the future, using sound, light and electricity combined with physical objects to spell out the evolution of production tools and a picture of the development of the sawing machine industry.
In the museum, there must be human civilization hidden, and the "Saw Museum" is no exception.
The circle on the wall, like a interlocking gear, turns out a "saw era"——
The earliest saws on the mainland date back to the Neolithic Age, a tool called the "stone sickle". At that time, humans made a living from hunting, so the stone sickle was mostly used to cut the skin and flesh of animals. As millet and rice were gradually planted in the two river basins, the stone sickle changed: the blade was polished into a fine serrated shape to enhance the cutting ability.
In the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass cabinet, the "mussel sickle" of the Shang Dynasty is displayed: made of mussel shells, which have been more than 3,000 years old and look "finer and sharper than stone sickles".
So, in China, when does the real "saw" appear?
The "Saw Museum" wrote the answer on the wall.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, countries fought in chaos, smelting technology continued to improve, and copper hand saws came into being, and were widely used in military and agricultural fields. The well-known "Luban saw" occurred during this period.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the manufacturing process was upgraded again, and it was found that iron was more resilient than copper. As a result, the copper saw was gradually replaced by the iron saw, and the woodworking saw that is still used today appeared.
Zatuotu is the earliest recorded "sawing machine" in Chinese history. According to the "Tiangong Kaiwu" record, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, people cut jade with the help of a machine similar to a machine tool, and its operating principle was similar to that of the european medieval pedal machine tool... Saws are evolving, and so is human civilization.
What brings the mind back to reality is an old-fashioned carpentry saw placed against the wall. It has been passed down from generation to generation in a local farmhouse in Huzhen, and has been passed down for more than 100 years, "is a silent history, but also a testimony of hard work".
2] Industrial wisdom that strikes at the hearts of the people
More striking than historical evolution is the wisdom of science and technology.
When the G7016 bow sawing machine crossed the ocean and arrived at the "saw museum", many sawing machine practitioners were bright-eyed. In 1933, the American DOLL company invented the world's first real sawing machine. As a representative of the initial bow sawing machine, G7016 saws through the reciprocating motion of the saw blade through the sawing bow. "It's an industrial heritage, but it's not at all out of the ordinary here, it's still the same." Today, even though the bow sawing machine has long since withdrawn from the market and been completely replaced by a band sawing machine, the human wisdom it carries has never been forgotten.
The museum records history and popularizes knowledge. Here, for example, visitors can learn that Leonardo da Vinci was not only a famous painter, but also a great scientist, "and a story happened with the sawmill". As opposed to the G7016 bow sawing machine, it is a light honey-colored wooden sawing machine that "uses water pressure to drive the workpiece for sawing.". It is based on a manuscript of a sawing machine, and the manuscript was drawn by Da Vinci — in fact, the doall sawmill was actually introduced more than 400 years after the manuscript was born.
All the way along the Visualizer, mechanical flying machines, paddle boats, ball timers... A series of meticulous and exquisite mechanical models come alive one by one in front of our eyes, leading us into a "da Vinci era" of wisdom and abundance. Six cylindrical rollers are arranged in sequence, and different manuscript patterns are distributed on the inner walls. The top lights fall bit by bit, like a galaxy, like traveling through time and space, "dialogue" da Vinci.
Some say that the "saw museum" is like a storage box that contains an updated iteration of the jug town sawing machine:
"Diamond Flower" brand GA4025 semi-automatic horizontal band sawing machine, is the first generation of sawing huang in July 1997 factory, in 2020 when the customer is still using;
A 3D picture with a harvest as the background, the fiery red morning glow and the golden rice fields, and a classic model developed by Saw Lihuang over the years is dotted in it, looking up from the field, just like Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky";
The new craft B-33, suspended in mid-air, exploded and hoisted, presenting a sawing machine in a split state. Looking around, the structure of each part is clear at a glance;
When seeing the GB-42320 horizontal band sawing machine, the shocking power of "Made in Huzhen" can no longer be hidden: 8 meters high, 11 meters wide, weighing more than 100 tons, "compared to the name of the sawing machine, it is more like a small western-style building"...
Where there is sawing, there are sawing machines. High-speed rail bodies, subway tracks, auto parts, and even a small faucet are inseparable from the application of sawing machines - although they are not common in life, the convenience brought by sawing machines has long been deeply rooted in everyone's daily life.
3] Ten thousand lights behind the sawing machine
The wisdom of the "Saw Museum" permeates the original intention of the organizers.
Since the birth of the city's first sawing machine in Jinyunhu Town in 1995, the sawing machine here accounts for more than 70% of the national market share, and more than 30,000 people are engaged in the production and sales of sawing machines.
Being in the "capital of China's sawing machine", these data make the people of Huzhen have a "sense of superiority".
But even so, no one ever proposed to build a sawing machine museum — until the idea popped into the mind of Li Xinfu, founder of Zhejiang Saw lihuang Industrial Technology Co., Ltd.
"In Huzhen, almost every family has relatives and friends engaged in the production and sale of sawing machines, but many children do not understand the sawing machine, or even what it looks like." Li Binsheng, chairman of Saw Lihuang, explained the reason why his father built the museum, "This is not only a place to show the development of sawing machines, but also a popular science education base. In this way, Li Xinfu decided to "pack" the family affection that could not be said clearly, the dreams of tens of thousands of townspeople and their own careers, into this museum.
At the beginning of the preparation, the museum's budget was 3 million yuan, but as soon as the construction began, it "exceeded the standard", "the design fee alone cost more than 1 million yuan". For Li Binsheng, who was born and raised in Sisi, this museum is of great significance: "The story of my father is in it, and the lights of the ten thousand families in Huzhen are also in it, so I hope that everything in the museum is the 'most' word." ”
The museum is like its own person.
The "Saw Museum" also maintains this simple feeling.
It is reported that the capital investment of the "Saw Museum" has exceeded 7 million yuan. However, Li Binsheng said that the museum is open to the public, which is of a public welfare nature and will not be charged to the outside world. It is currently in the trial operation phase and requires advance reservations.
Since the beginning of March this year, people have visited the museum, most of them locals in Huzhen, many of whom have brought their children and grandchildren. Here, they relive the history of the struggles of the previous generation and "conduct a very meaningful education." In this time-traveling building, many children "looked" at the sawmill at close range for the first time — a group of elementary school students waving their small hands, with expressions on their faces, sometimes surprised and sometimes excited.
Undoubtedly, the "Saw Museum" confirms a fact: the sawing machine makes the pot town richer, wiser and happier.
