On April 14, the third phase of the 2024 treasure exploration of "Museums in Hangzhou" sponsored by the Hangzhou Municipal Bureau of Gardens and Cultural Relics came to Linping District, and the 15 selected cultural and museum recommendation officers visited 5 rural museums, starting a "treasure hunting journey" around the "treasure of the town museum" of Hangzhou's museums.
At the first stop, the cultural and museum recommendation officials came to the exhibition hall of the former site of the Yalan Village Branch of the Communist Party of China. Under the guidance of the commentator, the recommenders learned about the red development history of Yalan Village step by step, and its "treasure of the town" - the 1948 "Hunan Peasant Movement Investigation Report" fully demonstrated the spirit of the revolutionary pioneers of the Yalan Village branch who were not afraid of sacrifice and tenacious struggle!
At the second stop, the recommenders came to the He Sijing Memorial Hall, which coincided with the 56th anniversary of the death of Mr. He Sijing, a red legal scholar.
The "treasure of the museum" is also the "Basic Knowledge of Social Sciences" delivered by Mr. He Sijing, which has left a valuable wealth for the development of modern society. What touched the recommenders even more was that this legal expert, who shared a cigarette with Comrade Mao Zedong during the Yan'an period, resolutely gave up the opportunity to study in Germany at the beginning of Japan's invasion of China, and donated all the funds for studying abroad to resist Japan! Mr. He Sijing's righteousness moved the recommending officials and made them more firm in their beliefs and fight for it!
At the third stop, the recommenders came to the Jiangnan Cake Art Museum, and the recommenders followed the deputy director Lu Peipei to visit the unique cake style at each stage, from the quack to the ground, the title of the gold list, and then to the knot, and finally life to heaven and earth.
Among them, when the "treasure of the town hall" - "eight immortals across the sea plus longevity 100 years old" woodblock cake version is particularly prominent, its length is 80 cm, width 80 cm, thickness 11.8 cm, the outside is round inside, a ditch and a trench are carefully carved, among which the eight immortals across the sea characters are more lifelike. According to Director Lu, a hundred people can't eat all the pastries made with this cake version! This can make the recommenders very shocked.
The fourth stop is the Yao Yuqin Memorial Hall, which was just opened at the end of last year, so that the recommenders can have the honor to know about this "all-round talent" Yao Yuqin who is proficient in calligraphy, painting, rubbing, etc.
"Linggen has been called Xiangzu since the past, and the location is lonely and high-quality", the recommending officials have a deeper understanding of Mr. Yao's grandmaster style in the photocopy of the "treasure of the town hall" - "Zhenbroom Zhai Poem Sketch", as well as his favorite Mei Lanzhu's paintings.
Comrade Mao Zedong was full of praise and spoke highly of him. In order to get closer to Mr. Yao's spiritual world, the recommenders picked up the brush and experienced the charm of calligraphy in person.
At the last stop, the recommenders came to the Linping Yuyue Memorial Hall. When they saw the "treasure of the town hall" - the photo of Yu Yue's three people and four generations in the same hall in 1902 (imitation), the recommenders knew that the grandfather of the red master Yu Pingbo was actually the old Mr. Yu Yue, the master of Chinese culture.
"Bo Eun can't stay for a while, and the breeze can be worshiped for a hundred generations", Mr. Yu Yue has been an official for several years, with a clean breeze on both sleeves, and the spirit of honesty and integrity is passed on from generation to generation.
"I am very interested in the activity of 'Walking Around the Hangzhou Museum'. When I heard that we were recruiting cultural and museum recommendation officers, I immediately signed up. Today's event has benefited me a lot and learned a lot, especially in the Jiangnan Cake Art Museum, I was really deeply shocked by the spirit and dedication of the Wenbo people. Zhang Ziyan, a cultural museum recommendation officer from the School of Design and Architecture of Zhejiang University of Technology, said.
The cultural and museum recommenders came with unknown curiosity to welcome the wind and rain, and returned with respect to the sunset. During the one-day "treasure exploration" activity, the recommenders not only felt the pleasant scenery of Linping countryside in the spring season, visited the quaint customs of Tangqi Ancient Town, but also felt the profound shock brought to us by the "treasure of the town hall" through the visit of five rural museums.
In 2024, the series of activities of "Visiting Museums in Hangzhou" is still ongoing, all cultural and museum lovers can follow the WeChat public account of "Hangzhou Traces" and click on the relevant tweets to register.
