Some people say that history belongs to the victors, some say that history belongs to future generations, some say that history belongs to those who have experienced it, and some say that history belongs to everyone.
China’s history and culture are extensive and profound. A culture, a field, and a chapter have countless brilliance; a history, a generation of talents, and a history book have endless charm. The museum is like a microcosm of thousands of years of history and culture, displayed one by one in front of the world.
I had nothing to do today; I heard that the new Chengdu Museum was on display and decided to visit it. Although I don’t understand history, I am a person who likes history. I originally thought that the gate would be deserted, but I didn't expect that the long and winding queue was quite daunting. The new Chengdu Museum is located at No. 1 Xiaohe Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu, on the left side of Tianfu Square, directly opposite the Sichuan Library, and in front of the right side of the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum.
Emperor Qianlong was the longest-ruling emperor in Chinese history and the longest-lived emperor. His literary and military skills consolidated the development of many ethnic groups. He loved collecting and traveling. He visited the south of the Yangtze River six times and enjoyed the great rivers and mountains of his motherland. Therefore, the Qianlong special exhibition on the first floor mainly introduces Qianlong's dragon robes, portraits, Qianlong jade seals, gold-embedded jewelry, central institutions, water conservancy construction, ancient literature and literature, riding and shooting hunting, Eight Banners armor, calligraphy and painting collections, ceramic craft collections, and clocks and watches Collection and other information about the life and daily life of Emperor Qianlong.
The articles are limited and only some pictures can be posted. However, that period of splendid history unfolded one by one during the visit, allowing people to experience it carefully and constantly reflect on it. The pace of history never stops. We should summarize from history, use history as a mirror, continue to learn, and keep moving forward.
The Chengdu Plain is one of the birthplaces of ancient Chinese civilization. The ancient Shu civilization is mysterious. Whether it is what Li Bai wrote about "the silkworms and the yufu, how confused the founding of the country was", or the Sanxingdui at the peak of civilization, or the Jinsha culture, because there are few records in ancient books, it has always been mysterious to people. Fortunately, thanks to the efforts of our archaeologists, we have a better understanding of the wonderful history of the ancient Shu Kingdom.
Standing in front of the display cabinet, every time I see things that are thousands of years old are placed in front of me, real and tangible, I can't help but feel a sense of awe and history in my heart.
On this floor, we can see Chengdu during the Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and learn about the economic, social and cultural overview of Chengdu at that time. There are traces of history such as Shu brocade, Yizhou hemp paper and engraving printing, Qiong three-color painting, Buddhist temples, painted pottery figurines, the birthplace of Jiaozi, a gathering of humanities, market life, the ancient photos of Shu Palace, etc.
This floor is divided into two exhibition areas. The left side is the modern chapter of Chengdu history, and the right side is the folklore chapter of Chengdu history. Modern times are an era of rapid changes. The changes in the late Qing Dynasty, the road protection movement, warlord separatism, and the main force of the Sichuan Army destined this to be a turbulent era; National Sichuan University, West China Union University, the eastward voyage to Japan, and the inward relocation of universities also destined this to be a turbulent era. An era of rising.
Chengdu’s modern times were turbulent, but it is precisely because of the hard work of our ancestors that today’s harmonious and civilized Chengdu is here
Whether you are a native of Chengdu depends on you To understand Gaiwan Tea, we can say that Chengdu Gaiwan Tea is the mark and representative of Chengdu. Because the three major hits in "Where Are We Going, Dad" are popular all over the country, but they are delicacies that can be seen everywhere in Chengdu.
The fifth floor is my favorite exhibition area. If the exhibition area downstairs is full of historical heaviness, then this exhibition area is undoubtedly lively and vivid. I still feel that shadow puppets and puppets are a magical art. Small wooden sticks, thin pieces of paper, thin long threads, and dull puppets become vivid characters and stories in the hands of these artists. A touching story.
Looking at these lifelike characters, the production process of the workers behind them seems to be vivid. This is not only a reappearance of historical culture, but also a realm that is difficult for modern people to reach.
There are also some other small exhibition areas, which I also like very much.
The giant panda exhibition area is located in the corner of the fourth floor. There are pictures, handicrafts, 3D videos, growth promotion videos, etc. about the national treasure giant panda. It is really cute.
To be honest, when I first saw this embroidery, I really didn’t know what it was. The introduction only indicated the words Shu embroidery.
An 80-year-old grandmother who visited the exhibition temporarily acted as a docent, introducing the names and functions of the items in the exhibition area one by one, and it suddenly felt like historical reappearance.
Museums are good after all. For today’s young generation, they are increasingly pursuing the convenience and freshness brought by the times. However, cultural heritage is being lost step by step.
How many people can recite the "Three Character Classic", read "Historical Records", and listen to "The Legend of the White Snake"; who can master chess, calligraphy and painting at their fingertips? In Chinese calligraphy, who can reach the state of being good at calligraphy and not choosing pen and paper? Can you still recall the scissors flying at your fingertips, turning them into lively cutouts? Embroidery is a skill that women in ancient times must know. Can women today still pick up a small embroidery needle? I think these all belong to the previous generation. Nowadays, young people read Japanese comics and online novels; they watch TV series and online live broadcasts; and they play with mobile phones. All these cultural heritages are gradually being forgotten.
I think if this is the case, the meaning of a country will wither.
"Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs." The Chengdu Museum is a microcosm of history and culture.
