Beilin Museum is a historical museum worth visiting in Xi. After thousands of years, it can unlock "living" cultural relics. Under the Shaanxi Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, it is mainly composed of Confucius Temple, Forest of Steles, Stone Carving Art Room and Stone Carving Art Museum. It is a local museum focusing on collecting, researching and displaying ancient steles, epitaphs and stone carvings.
The collection of cultural relics in the museum spans more than one million years, from simple stone tools used by ancient humans in the early days to various artifacts in social life 1840 years ago.
The collection of cultural relics is not only large in number and variety, but also high in taste and value. Among them, the bronzes in Shang and Zhou Dynasties are exquisite, and the pottery figurines in previous dynasties have different shapes. The gold and silver wares in Han and Tang Dynasties are unique in China, and the murals in Tang tombs are unparalleled in the world, which can be described as dazzling and exquisite.
The exhibition hall includes
1, Confucius Temple
The Confucius Temple in Xi was near imperial academy in the west corner of Shangshu Province in the Tang Dynasty. After several relocations in the Song Dynasty, in the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 103), Yu Ce finally relocated the Confucian Temple and Fu Xue to the "southeast corner of Fucheng", which is now the former site of Xi 'an Beilin Museum. The existing zhaobi, archway, Lingxingmen, Huabiao, Jiymen, stele pavilion and beam wall are mostly Ming and Qing buildings.
