I have long heard that the Zhengzhou Museum is famous far and wide. I have lived in Zhengzhou for six years and have not visited it yet. On the morning of July 4th, the summer breeze was blowing and the sun was shining brightly. I took advantage of some free time when I was doing business in Zhongyuan District. At nearly noon, with reverence, I stopped by the Zhengzhou Museum at No. 168 Songshan South Road and spent more than two hours. , we conducted a free tour in more detail and enjoyed it for all our eyes.

Founded in 1957, Zhengzhou Museum is a local comprehensive museum with a collection of more than 50,000 cultural relics. In 2008, it was designated as a national first-class museum and has become an important window to showcase Zhengzhou’s long history and splendid civilization. The pavilion has a construction area of ??14,200 square meters, of which the main exhibition hall covers an area of ??8,337 square meters. Its architectural appearance integrates traditional culture and the spirit of the times, implying that "the sky is round and the earth is round, and the Central Plains are in triplicate." Over the years, the museum has adhered to the motto of "inheriting civilization, serving society, scientific management, and pragmatic innovation" and has made remarkable achievements in display exhibitions, publicity and education, scientific research, etc., and has won the title of "Provincial Civilized Unit" and "Henan Civilized Unit". Provincial Patriotism Education Demonstration Base" and other honors.

Zhengzhou Exhibition Hall *** has three exhibition halls, one on each floor. The architectural style is tall, beautiful and majestic. There are three-story elevators directly accessible, and there are also layered rotating staircases for visitors to choose. I walked along the The stairs are used to visit from low to high.

Entering the first floor of the exhibition hall, the first thing that jumps out to the audience is the large and magnificent hall corresponding to the east gate. A young and beautiful guide girl in professional attire is standing at the service desk on the south side, and there are Fully armed male and female special police officers and male security guards stood at the entrance and exit respectively. A large area on the wall was a roll of honor, with more than a dozen gold plaques such as "Provincial Civilized Unit" and "Certificate of Honor" hanging on it. On the north side of the hall is an event promotion column with pictures and texts. It not only provides an introduction to the Zhengzhou Museum, but also displays high-quality replicas and prints of the huge treasure of the museum - the "Siwu Mu Tripod". Looking around the entire hall, the decoration is simple and elegant, the windows are bright and clean, and the cultural propaganda atmosphere is rich. Before entering the exhibition hall, you have already caught the first impression of the exhibition hall, and initially captured the elegant atmosphere of the exhibition hall, leading people to have a sense of urgency to take a sneak peek.

The main exhibition hall is on the first and second floors. Starting from the "Ancient Capital of Zhengzhou" in the first exhibition hall to the second and third exhibition halls, all collections have been carefully designed and displayed to show more of the history and civilization of Zhengzhou to the local audience. The bronze civilization of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is the main line, focusing on the unique and iconic historical and cultural relics of "Zhengzhou Shang Capital and Zhengzhou Ancient Capital Group", and strongly highlighting Zhengzhou's distinctive role in the origin of the Chinese nation's civilization and the birth of the country. Characteristics, it focuses on demonstrating the important position of the Zhengzhou area in the origin of Chinese civilization and the development history of early Chinese capitals. It has become a window to showcase Zhengzhou's long history and splendid culture, and has been widely praised by all walks of life.

In the first exhibition hall, I first saw a beautiful preface with white characters on a red background: "Zhengzhou, dominating the Central Plains, is located in the core area of ??the birthplace of Chinese civilization. For thousands of years, our city has Ancestors have always thrived and created miracles on this land; the seeds of civilization were the first to sprout, be born, and continue to grow and develop here. Over the long history, Zhengzhou was home to the earliest Xia and Shang dynasties in China, as well as many This is the land where princes founded their country and established their capital. Many important figures in the early process of Chinese civilization have used this land as a stage to shine in the annals of history. Over the years, the continuous discovery of many early ancient domains and ancient cultural sites in the Zhengzhou area has shocked the world. It also unveiled the mystery of the thousand-year-old ancient capital of Zhengzhou." Then, the four official characters of "Ancient Capital Zhengzhou" shined brightly under the shining lights. During the following visit, I followed several exhibition sections such as "Dawn of Civilization", "Prehistoric Settlement" and "Creation Dynasty", and got a rough understanding of how the earliest ancestors here evolved step by step and moved toward Chinese civilization. The pieces of prehistoric bones, the pieces of polished stones, and the restored white pottery jars witnessed the evolution of the "Yangshao Culture", "Dahe Culture" and "Longshan Culture" from the long primitive society to the slave society of the Xia Dynasty. The profound truth that "labor creates human civilization".

In the second exhibition hall on the second floor, in front of a large number of collections, I confirmed that Zhengzhou was undoubtedly the ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty in my country. Among them, I admired the Shangdu Fu - "The City of Kings": "She has been covered in dust for three thousand years. Witnessing the vicissitudes of history, when she finally woke up, she revealed the true existence of the early Shang civilization and the early Shang capital. The city walls were towering and silent, seeming to recall the glory of the past. The majesty of the king who passed away far away. Cheng Tang once marched westward with his sword and defeated Xia Jie, composing the first thrilling dynastic confrontation in the history of China, and performing the world-renowned name of a wise minister that has been passed down through the ages. The bronze civilization of the Yin and Shang Dynasties began here and went to glory from then on. The history of ancient Chinese civilization was also enriched by it. "In the 16th century BC, Chinese history entered the second hereditary dynasty - the Shang Dynasty and Shang Tang Dynasty. After the founding of the country, he learned from the lessons of the demise of the Xia Dynasty, worked diligently and loved the people, and paid attention to the development of agricultural production. The country became increasingly strong and prosperous, and eventually became a country on the early historical map of East Asia with a vast territory, the submission of Fang countries, and "no one dares not to enjoy it, and no one dares not to be the king." Big kingdom. In this exhibition hall, there are 7 exhibition sections: "Royal Power and National Prestige", "Prosperous Commercial Capital", "Commercial City and People's Livelihood", "Mystery of Commercial Capital", "Secrets of Commercial Capital", "Bronze Song", "Old Capital Spring and Autumn" and "Old City". Learn more about it in detail The evolution of Zhengzhou as an ancient capital in the early Shang Dynasty and the ancient capital in the middle and late Shang Dynasty shows the great contribution of the Shang Dynasty to Chinese history, especially the bronze culture, which played an indelible and huge historical role in the development and progress of China's slave society.

Here, I saw: the swords, halberds and arrows made of bronze seemed to be the sharp blades used by the Shang king when he led his troops to expand the territory; the bronze swords and arrows made of bronze The mirror seals seem to be daily necessities used by ancient ancestors when dressing and grooming; the bronze wine bottles seem to be the utensils used by princes and scholars to entertain relatives and friends; the various porcelains displayed in rows, It shows the intelligence and wisdom of the ancients in different periods of Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

Here, I saw: Three-legged pottery can burn fire to cook delicious food. The living and ripening of food reveals the inventions and creations of ancient ancestors. This is also the continuation of Suiren's "drilling wood to make fire"; The 24 bronze chimes can play the sounds of nature. From then on, the palace musicians sang and danced for the palace and became the "cultural slaves" of the princes and nobles; the "Hundred Craftsmanship" picture shows the wide variety of cultural relics unearthed from the ruins of the Shang Dynasty. It reflects that the science and technology of the Shang Dynasty has reached a certain level and the degree of social civilization...

Here, I also saw pictures of Zhengzhou's ancient scientific and technological cultural relics "Tiangong" being displayed in the circular corridor on the second floor. Chasing dreams”. Such as "Ceramic Invention": Ceramics is the art of fire and earth, and it is also one of the greatest creations of the Chinese nation. From red pottery to gray pottery, painted pottery, black pottery, white pottery, glazed pottery, and Tang Sancai, from primitive porcelain to celadon, white porcelain, blue and white porcelain, and colored porcelain, every progress is accompanied by the improvement and improvement of corresponding technologies such as tire, glaze, furnace, and color porcelain. breakthrough. Zhengzhou's ancient ceramic production has a long history and brilliant achievements. The earliest pottery fragments in northern China have been discovered at the Lijiagou site in Xinmi, which is tens of thousands of years old. The rich treasures of painted pottery are typical representatives of Yangshao colored pottery. The discovery of celadon-glazed porcelain statues from the Shang Dynasty in Zhengzhou has rewritten the history of Chinese ceramics. , advancing the production of porcelain in our country to 3,600 years ago; Zhengzhou area is not only the hometown of Tang Sancai, but also the birthplace of Chinese blue and white porcelain; white porcelain, pearl-carved porcelain, colored porcelain, etc., all occupy an extraordinary place in the history of Chinese ceramics land. In addition, there are illustrated explanations such as "Fire Tempering", "Photography and Stargazing" and "Construction Techniques", which are very enlightening and I won't repeat them here.

After visiting the second floor, I rested for a while, endured hunger, and then persisted to the third floor. The exhibition hall here is small in area because the museum exhibition hall is in the shape of a "cone" and becomes more pointed as it goes up. The entire third exhibition hall is the "Art Exhibition of Ancient Moments of the Central Plains." Stone carving art is a wonderful work in the treasure house of ancient Chinese art. It has many categories and rich contents. It can be carved or carved, or polished or polished. It usually pursues a flowing eternity with a solidified moment. There are more than 50 art treasures on display in this hall, mainly including Buddhist statues and calligraphy and stone carvings. Its style is unique and its charm is vivid, making it one of the finest stone carving arts in the Central Plains. Among these stone Buddha statues, most of them are Sakyamuni Buddha and many Bodhisattvas. Some have broken arms and legs, some have no head or feet, and some have only heads. There are few that are well preserved and many that are incomplete. It can be seen that The excavation and protection of ancient cultural relics still have a long way to go. In these stone calligraphy, seal script, official script, regular script and cursive script can be seen in all five styles.

Some calligraphy is like flowing clouds and flowing water, with wild cursive writing, alternating virtual and real, and uninhibited; some inscriptions are written horizontally and vertically, stroke by stroke, square, strong, upright, and regular. As for the text content of the calligraphy stone carvings, I was so hungry that I really didn’t have the patience to read it in detail. Instead, I just took a quick look at the flowers, took pictures while admiring them, and rushed to the last scenic spot.

Like the circular corridor on the second floor, there is also a photo exhibition of famous modern Chinese artists on the third floor. Since it was already half past two in the afternoon, in order to go home quickly for lunch, I quickly photographed their layouts one by one from left to right, and saved them for later appreciation. Currently saved on the phone are: Wu Hufan, Li Kuchan, Yue Xiangshu, Shan Yinggui, Wu Changshuo, Huang Yongyu, Chen Shizeng, Guan Yousheng, He Xiangning, Huang Junbi, Yaming, Qi Baishi, Xu Beihong, Fu Xinshe, Xu Linlu, Fu Songchuang, Zhang Shanzi, Gao Jianfu, Pan Tianshou , Lou Shibai and other 20 famous painters, there are still about six or seven who have not taken pictures because their mobile phones ran out of battery. It is a pity. However, I will go to see them again in the near future and take more pictures to make up for it. The regret this time. However, in this exhibition of famous painters, most of them have a black and white portrait of the artist at the top, with two to three paragraphs of text introduction below. Some of these texts are brief biographies, some are famous quotations, and some are poems and songs. In short, they express ideas closely around art. This is the first time in my life that I have learned about the most important art masters in modern and contemporary China. I will definitely remember them today. !

Since it was noon, it could not be said to be bustling with visitors, but there were quite a few groups of large, middle and primary school students coming in twos and threes. Some look like young lovers. The men are wearing summer clothes and carrying black backpacks with simple luggage inside and mineral water bottles inserted into special water bottles outside. The woman was wearing a dress, holding sunglasses in one hand, and holding her boyfriend's hand in the other. She looked a little leisurely, a little intimate, and looked sweet. Some are family tours, or a family of three, or a father, son, and mother. Every time they go to a cultural relic of interest, the children will ask questions, and the parents will answer questions, point, and talk and laugh, as if they are talking about this cultural relic. The origin, shape, name, etc., especially more people come with children. It may be summer vacation, and parents want to broaden their children's horizons, increase their understanding of Zhengzhou's ancient knowledge, and supplement their knowledge of history and culture. Whenever visitors come to see something exciting, adults will take pictures with their mobile phones, especially the rare treasures and antiques. They always want to take pictures and appreciate them carefully. I fall into this category, almost while looking at them. Take pictures, lest I miss any ancient cultural relics.

Zhengzhou Museum adheres to the principle of "inheritance, watchfulness, cultivation, and innovation" and adheres to "innovating the old and bringing out the new, making the past serve the present". It is in a leading position in the same industry nationwide. Its collections have been visited dozens of times in Sweden, Japan, and Italy and other countries participated in the overseas cultural relics exchange exhibition organized by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Henan Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau. In order to adapt to the current trend of younger audiences, it is understood that the museum has also strengthened the role of new media in tour guides, publicity displays and public interaction. It was the first to open the Zhengzhou Museum WeChat public platform "Scan the QR code and visit the museum" and provide audio guides, so that the "explainers" in the museum can be "taken" with you at any time. In addition, it also cooperated with Baidu Encyclopedia to establish the Zhengzhou Museum Encyclopedia Digital Museum, with each collection equipped with audio commentary and text introduction; launched the Zhengzhou Museum "Pocket Mobile Museum", a 3D display and display exhibition hall for visible and audible cultural relics collections Virtual roaming...

Studying history can make you wise, and interest determines your thinking. When I walked out of the Zhengzhou Museum, I asked myself, what have I learned and what have I experienced? Through this visit, my experience is: in the past, many people thought it was inscrutable when they mentioned "museum". In fact, only by first arousing the interest of the audience and attracting them to the museum to watch the exhibition can they slowly develop them. Visiting habits will ultimately have a subtle influence on understanding the history of the city and knowledge of cultural relics, ultimately enhancing cultural pride and improving cultural self-confidence. I am personally keen on visiting museums many times, which benefits from this.
