To understand a city, start with a museum

There is always a city that people will never forget, just like Chang'an to Li Bai, Moling to Liu Yuxi, Tianjin is no exception, the poet Yuan Haowen wrote in the poem "First Arrival in Tianjin", "Jingnan Huayue is unparalleled, the first prosperous city in northern Hebei", the scenery and prosperity of Jincheng are enough for him to stop and then settle here.

To understand a city, start with a museum

Walking on the streets of Tianjin is a reading journey of modern Chinese history. The best way to get to know a city is to visit museums, and Tianjin was one of the first cities to establish museums. Unlike other museums, whose collections are mainly archaeological excavations, most of the cultural relics in Tianjin Museum are self-contained and orderly. The collection may not be as large as in other museums, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a collection of curiosities. If I want to choose my favorite one, it is probably this Qianlong enamel color peony pheasant picture jade pot spring bottle, calligraphy, poetry, painting and printing in one, light and shadow shine on the bottle body, its exquisiteness makes people pay attention for a long time can not move, is the beauty that the mobile phone can not record anyway, worthy of the "Qianlong selection".

Lishunde Museum

To understand a city, start with a museum

The heritage of Tianjin city cannot be avoided from the imprint of the Republic of China.

A Lishunde, half of the history of the Republic of China, the Lishunde Museum, condenses the history of 160 years here. The oldest elevator in China, the old menu of Li Hongzhang's banquet for the King of Hawaii in Lishunde, and the carved benches of the European Renaissance where many celebrities and distinguished guests have sit...... This century-old building full of historical charm is recreated brick by brick and tile from yesterday. As I strolled through the Thames Hall, it was as if there was only one door between history and reality: the last emperors Puyi and Wanrong danced here, and the love story of Cai Yi and Xiao Fengxian also left a chapter here, and Mr. Mei Lanfang lived here to complete his autobiography...... Stepping on the old floor and making a creaking sound, a dream of the Republic of China has come true, which is Tianjin's own "flower".

Northern Xinjiang Museum

To understand a city, start with a museum

There are countless small western-style buildings on Fifth Avenue, one of which is hidden in a corner of the campus of Tianjin Foreign Chinese College. It is not the former residence of celebrities, but it carries the history that the earth intended to tell to everyone a hundred years ago, and the Northern Xinjiang Museum has been called "a living fossil in the history of Chinese museums". Walking inside, it's more of a laboratory than a museum. The curiosity and exploration of nature have made the evolutionary history of the earth and human beings collide with brilliant fireworks. The cycle of life seems to be traced in the depths of time: the French words clearly visible on the matchbox, the animal specimens mottled in glass bottles, and the butterfly wings that seem to be flapping are all the light of the humanities. Marvel at the perseverance and persistence of the founder, Mr. Sang Zhihua, on the protection of scientific research results, and his story makes this not only a static museum, but also a warm person.
