Shaanxi History Museum is a comprehensive history museum, and it is also the museum with the richest scientific excavations in China. I often meet many foreign tourists asking for directions: "Where is the Shaanxi Provincial History Museum?" In fact, Shaanxi History Museum is a national museum, named after its location in Shaanxi. Locals usually say "Shaanxi Bo" or "Li Bo". Although there is a word difference, "Shaanxi Bo" has been directly reduced from the national level to the provincial level. I'm afraid the gap during this period is "thousands of miles away".
Shaanxi History Museum is known as "the pearl of the ancient capital and the treasure house of China", which not only shows the rich history and culture of Shaanxi, but also involves the vast ancient civilization of China. Because thirteen dynasties, such as Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang, which are the most brilliant dynasties in China's history, have established their capitals here, where there are rich cultural relics and historical sites and profound cultural accumulation.
From the appearance, Shaanxi Bo is a Tang-style building complex with "the four corners of the main hall worship the building". For a museum, if "palaces are the backbone of the wind and treasures are flesh and blood", Shaanxi Museum includes all kinds of cultural relics from the Paleolithic Age to social life before 1840 years, spanning more than one million years.
Here, every artifact is silently telling the past history-or wandering in troubled times, or stable in this world, quiet in the years. Shaanxi Bo's cultural relics are not only numerous and complete in variety, but also high in taste and value. Among them, the Shang and Zhou bronzes were exquisite, the pottery figurines of past dynasties were varied, the gold and silver wares of Han and Tang dynasties were unique in China, and the murals of Tang tombs were unparalleled in the world.
Before visiting, you need to make an appointment in official website or the official account of WeChat. There are only 6000 free tickets on that day, so you'd better make an appointment in advance.
If Shaanxi History Museum is an all-encompassing cultural palace, then xi 'an Museum is a grand view garden that reproduces the prosperous times of Chang 'an. On the "International Museum Day" in 2007 (May 18), a cold and tough modern building made of glass and stone made a stunning appearance in the Millennium Wild Goose Pagoda Garden in the south of Xi 'an. Since then, the exhibition hall of Xi 'an Museum, with the architectural concept of "a round place", has complemented the vicissitudes of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda.
Many friends who come to Xi 'an will ask me to recommend places worth visiting, and Xi 'an Museum has always been my first choice. Mainly because Xi 'an Museum is designed according to the three functional areas of cultural relics appreciation, tourism and comprehensive service, and it is a museum integrating museums, historic sites and urban gardens. Here, you can not only see the exhibition of Xi 'an, the ancient capital of the 13 dynasty and its thousand-year history, but also play in the garden. In spring, there are many flowers in the yard, and in autumn, the maple leaves turn yellow, which makes the photos particularly beautiful.
In addition, many friends may not know that the Little Wild Goose Pagoda is in Xi 'an Museum. If you want to go to the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, you must enter the Xi 'an Museum, because many friends have said "I want to see the Little Wild Goose Pagoda". When I told her that the Little Wild Goose Pagoda was in the museum, they all looked a little incredible.
Xi 'an Museum mainly displays the historical changes of Xi 'an. There are 6.5438+0.3 million pieces of cultural relics in various historical periods in Angola, including more than 6.5438+0.44 million pieces of national third-class precious cultural relics, and a considerable number of cultural relics of influential dynasties in China, such as Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang, have been unearthed. The cultural relics used for exhibition are high-level, representative and influential cultural relics selected from these collections. The exhibition in the cultural relics exhibition hall of Xi Museum consists of three parts: basic exhibition, special exhibition and temporary exhibition.
I usually go to the museum to plan an afternoon, bring something to eat and drink, and take your time. I feel different every time I see it.
Xi 'an Museum is one of the few museums in China that are still open on Monday and closed on Tuesday.
1. Every open day is from 9:00 am to 7: 30 pm/kloc-0.
2, every Tuesday (except national holidays) and New Year's Eve closed all day, the rest of the time open.
In the history of China, there has never been an emperor who made people love and hate each other. He unified the six countries, made cars on the same track, wrote books in the same language, established counties, cultivated Chi Dao, conquered Huns, and built the Great Wall ... He burned books and buried Confucianism, fought everywhere, killed bloodthirsty, took credit for himself, and compared himself to three emperors and five emperors ... all of which made people feel scared.
In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang made his fifth expedition to the east, and it was also on the way to this expedition that he died suddenly. From the beginning of his reign (247 BC, the first year of the King of Qin), he began to take precautions, and the mausoleum he built for himself was not yet completed. In order to build the mausoleum, he collected nearly 800,000 manpower, almost eight times the number of people who built pyramid of khufu, and worked overtime day and night. It was not until the second year of Qin Ershi (208 BC) that the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was built. From then on, it was not until 1974, more than 2000 years later, that the corps matrix in Qin Shihuang's mausoleum slowly revealed the tip of the iceberg.
1974 A farmer in Lintong, Shaanxi Province dug a well and accidentally dug up the head of a ceramic warrior. As a result, the terracotta warriors and horses of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum, which had been sleeping for thousands of years, began to emerge from history and shine brilliantly. Since then, after excavation by archaeologists, three large burial pits of terracotta warriors and horses have been excavated on the east side of the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum in Lintong, more than 1000 meters.
Among them, the first pit is the largest and rectangular, with a total area of13000m2. Terracotta warriors and horses as tall as real horses are buried neatly and orderly in the pit. Secondly, pit 2 is about 6000 square meters, which is the main force of chariots and infantry; The third pit is the smallest, about 5000 square meters, and the pit is mainly the military department of pits 1 and 2; These three pits are connected with each other and go their own way, thus forming a unified and complete military formation.
The shock brought by the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang to the audience is hard to understand without having been to the scene and seeing those mighty soldiers with your own eyes. Now the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang will also plan some temporary exhibitions with good quality and grade, which are worth visiting and enjoying.
1: Almost as long as you open the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the First Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, it will be overcrowded. Therefore, it is suggested that tourists who want to see the Terracotta Warriors carefully must go on non-holidays because there will be fewer people.
With the tickets of Terracotta Warriors and Horses, you can see the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang for free by car ferry in the tourist center. Terracotta Warriors and Mausoleums are two places. The location of the Mausoleum is rich in trees and has a good environment, but most of the time it depends on the scenery.
Traveling to Xi, Shaanxi Provincial History Museum and Terracotta Warriors Museum of Qin Shihuang Mausoleum are probably the places that every tourist must visit. These two museums basically cover the development of China's ancient history and show the treasures of its heyday. Many foreigners' understanding of Shaanxi also started from these two museums.
In contrast, the earliest museum in Shaanxi, the Forest of Steles Museum, seems to be gradually disappearing. Because every time I recommend the forest of steles to friends from other places, I am almost rejected: "I don't understand." "It's just those stone tablets ..." "Is there anything else to go?"
On the surface, it seems that the high threshold of "those who come here are scholars and don't travel in Dingbai" restricts tourists; But in fact, perhaps our daily life has changed, mobile phones and keyboards have become more and more popular, and there are fewer and fewer opportunities for handwriting. Calligraphy, once a part of cultural heritage, has also been shelved in real life.
But for calligraphy lovers or ancient sculpture lovers, the forest of steles is simply a paradise. Xi 'an Forest of Steles was founded in A.D. 1087, which is the earliest and largest treasure house of ancient stone inscriptions in China. The collection of cultural relics 1 1000, and the display of stone tablets and epitaphs 1000 from Han Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. Four of the famous "Six Horses in Zhaoling" are hidden here.
Xi 'an Beilin Museum has a rich collection, which is not only a treasure house of ancient calligraphy art in China, but also a collection place of ancient documents and stone carvings in China. If heaven could see it, it might be like the Forest of Steles Museum.
You must ask the commentator when you go to the forest of steles, or you won't understand! Although most lecturers can tell the history of inscriptions and statues with well-trained short stories and have professional knowledge, most of them pass by because they are too boring. Without a solid historical foundation, it is really a waste of time in the forest of steles.
"There is an implicit connection between any seemingly isolated symbols. The whole world is an invisible net, intertwined with history and events. You can't see this connection, but they have always existed, just under that appearance. " -dan brown
In Banpo Museum in Xi 'an, the lines carved on pottery, mermaids and mermaid patterns are all arranged neatly ... with traces of ancestors living in this land. These patterns are like passwords. Are they the totem worship of mermaids, the simplification of ancestors' images, or the symbol of the wizard's ascending to heaven? Today, there is no definite result, only these lost secret symbols are displayed.
Xi 'an Banpo Museum, located in Banpo Road, Baqiao District, is the first prehistoric settlement site museum in China and a national first-class museum. The museum was built on the site of matriarchal clan commune more than 6,000 years ago, and shows the primitive civilization created by Banpo people more than 6,000 years ago through the sites and cultural relics.
The basic exhibition of the museum consists of the site protection museum and the unearthed cultural relics exhibition hall. The site protection museum is divided into three parts: residential area, tomb area and pottery kiln area. The exhibition hall of unearthed cultural relics is divided into five units: green river, poetry of life, pastoral, spiritual charm and secret mystery.
Among the many cultural relics unearthed in Banpo site, the pointed bottom bottle is a representative cultural relic, and there are different opinions about its use, either for pumping water or for brewing wine. Another representative cultural relic of Banpo site is the fish basin and the net basin. The former is now in the National Museum, and the latter is in Banpo Museum in Xi 'an.
Regarding the implication of the mesh pattern of human face, He Zhoude, deputy director of Xi 'an Banpo Museum, said: "The symbols carved on pottery are of great significance, one is as a mark of records, and the other is the earliest prototype of China characters. These symbols show that Banpo ancestors already had the concept of numbers and words. " In addition, there are many academic views, among which totem theory, tattoo custom and symbol of the god of life are more recognized. If you are interested, you may wish to explore the museum yourself.
If you are interested in matriarchal society, you can visit Banpo Museum in Xi 'an, which I believe will benefit a lot.
I am Xia Meng, looking forward to discovering the beauty of the world with an open mind and a historical perspective.
