cultural relic collection
In order to enrich the exhibits, the museum began to collect cultural relics from all over the country in September 2003. The collection areas are mainly concentrated in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Shandong, the birthplace of the Yellow River civilization, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the birthplace of the Yangtze River civilization. Hundreds of cultural relics have been collected These include stone tools, knives and axes more than 6,000 years ago, carbonized seeds more than 7,000 years ago and bones of domestic poultry more than 8,000 years ago. In addition, there are a large number of models, colorful live pictures and many famous works reflecting farmland farming and folk customs on display. There are many interesting cultural relics: there is a national first-class cultural relic, the pottery paddy field in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which not only vividly shows that a field with crops is divided into different shapes, but also shows a turtle and an oriole in the field. On a pottery stove in the Han Dynasty, there were not only water scoops, brushes, fire hooks, fish and chickens, but also a sneaky mouse stealing oil. Glazed pottery pots rarely use Boshan furnace-style lids. There are ancient auspicious animals such as bears, tigers and wolves in the mountains, and there are three innocent bears at their feet. In Suzhou Land Temple in Qing Dynasty, a pair of wood-painted landowners and mother-in-law looked kind-hearted. The man in the land wears a round hat, has a white beard and holds an ingot in his right hand. The chubby mother-in-law wears colorful clothes and her hands are caged in wide sleeves. In addition, there are some tools for labor and articles for daily use, which reflect the development of agricultural science, technology and culture in ancient China.
The main highlights of the series
According to Wang Siming, dean of the School of Humanities and Social Sciences of south china agriculture University and director of the Agricultural Expo, the Agricultural Expo has three treasures. One is an egg from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which may be the oldest egg in the world. When they were unearthed, they were put in a clay pot, because after more than 2000 years, they became very fragile. The museum only removed a very shallow layer of soil from the clay pot, revealing six or seven eggs, and the others were still sealed in the clay of the clay pot. I wonder how many eggs there are in the pot. The other is a set of eight copies of Qi Yaomin's book, which was printed by Ming Jiajing and has a history of 480 years. This is the earliest and most complete agricultural book in China. There are only two sets in China, and the other set is kept in Shanghai Museum. The third sample is the earliest penicillin in China, which was brought back from abroad by Mr. Fan Qingsheng in the 1940s and successfully developed. Once put into production, it was immediately applied to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and countless soldiers and civilians in China were treated.
