On February 15, in the Grand Canal Museum in Beijing, the docent Liu Siyu was seriously explaining to tourists.

At 10:30, today's first regular explanation began, 10 visitors followed Liu Siyu's steps, through the elevator to the second floor of the shared hall, through the corridor to visit the exhibition of the general history of the Grand Canal in exhibition halls 3-6.
In order to strengthen the connection with the rich areas in the southeast and the surrounding military towns in the north, the Sui Dynasty built the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south, connecting five major water systems, namely the Hai River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, the Yangtze River and the Qiantang River, with a total length of more than 2,700 kilometers. The exhibition has more than 1,000 pieces of cultural relics and artworks in eight parts, with a time axis, vividly restoring the history of the development and evolution of the Grand Canal, focusing on the close relationship between the Grand Canal and Beijing, and systematically showing the connotation of the cultural and historical value along the canal.
With Liu Siyu's explanation, more and more tourists gathered around him, from the initial 10 people to more than 60 people, tourists no longer visit at will, but follow his footsteps and listen to the stories behind these exhibits.
A golden crown in the exhibition hall attracted everyone's attention, and the golden crown was placed on the north side of the head of the Wanli Emperor's coffin when it was unearthed. Liu Siyu introduced to tourists, "The golden crown is made of 518 0.2 mm gold wires, which are woven sequentially from top to bottom, which is dense and compact, without any nodules. The two dragons on it have a total of 8,400 scales, and each scale is welded by hand, but you can look for it, we can't see any solder joints, which means that its craftsmanship is very strong. Why is it called the Wing Shan Guan? There are two wing-like things called wings behind the hat, so the minister's wings are folded to the side, and the emperor's wings are folded upwards. ”
At the scene, there were also some parent-child volunteers who gave a brief explanation to tourists, and Wang Jiachi from the Primary School Affiliated to Canal Middle School was one of them. Because of his love for history and the increase in visitor flow during the Spring Festival, the museum recruited volunteers, and he specially signed up, "I need to understand the cultural relics here in advance and be familiar with the exhibition hall, which will help me guide and explain some simple explanations to tourists." ”
Liu Siyu goes to the museum at 9:30 a.m. every day to review the commentary and adjust the content according to the previous effect. The standard commentary of tens of thousands of words is written by himself, and he not only needs to understand the exhibits, consult the materials, but also adjust the logic and add his own thinking.
Following in the footsteps of Liu Siyu, you can not only walk on the best tour route of the cultural context of the Grand Canal, but also immerse yourself in the charm of history and culture through his endless narration...... The tourists were enthusiastic, listened carefully throughout the whole process, and asked questions from time to time, Liu Siyu also became more and more excited, and the whole explanation lasted for 2 hours before it ended.

Read a city from a museum. Museums not only record a city's past, but also connect the present and the future.
