Three or five card clocks, briquette stoves, black and white televisions... These old objects, which are now almost impossible to see in daily life, have appeared in the nostalgic memory museum in Hangtou Town. Old objects are not only flowing nostalgia, but also record the changes of the times.
The arrival of summer vacation has made the Nostalgia Memory Museum popular. The hand-painted old-fashioned house door and the 28-bar bicycle at the entrance instantly bring people's memories back to the last century. Walking into the museum, you can find wooden toilets and bamboo cupboards from as early as the fifties and sixties of the last century, to seagull cameras and music cassettes that are a little later.
"Nong, the walker is your father and mother Xiaochenguang's forehead." Chen Meifang, 57, is telling children about the usefulness of old objects.
Hangtou Nostalgia Memory Museum is located in the new era civilization practice station of the Changjia Yuan Residential Area, covering an area of about 250 square meters and exhibiting more than 500 old objects. "It's a time-bound period from the fifties to around 2000, and most of the exhibits were donated by local residents." Yan Yaojun, secretary of the general branch of the party in the long-term residential area of Hangtou Town, introduced.
In front of an old stove, college student Qin Shihao stopped for a long time, and the familiar scene evoked good memories of his childhood with his grandparents. "At that time, my grandparents were cooking on the stove, and I would add firewood in the back, but I was too skinny, and I kept putting firewood in the stove, and the fire was too strong, so I burned the vegetables." A smile appeared on Xiao Qin's face, "It's still very happy when I think about it now. ”
In recent years, based on the excavation and inheritance of the three major cultural propositions of "salt", "crane" and "home", Hangtou Town has launched the "Six Ones" nostalgia cultural project, specifically to compile a hangtou story, compile a set of village chronicles, launch a museum display, find and cultivate a group of cultural talents, protect a number of old buildings, old trees and ancient bridges, and compile a homesickness school curriculum. The Nostalgia Memory Museum is one of them, which aims to preserve the historical context, retain the memory of homesickness, and promote rural revitalization by protecting excellent traditional culture such as traditional architecture and agricultural relics.
"Now with the development of science and technology, life is much more convenient than before, but the younger generation must also learn the spirit of hard work of the older generation." Qin Shihao said.
"Don't let young people forget the hardships experienced by their ancestors, cherish their current life, and study harder." Yan Yaojun said.
