As a basic exhibition reflecting Changzhou's history and culture, 1288 precious cultural relics, combined with modern design concepts and display means, present the colorful Changzhou historical science to the audience accurately and completely. The whole exhibition is divided into five parts: prehistoric Changzhou, Yanling, the hometown of Qi Liang, China, Wu and Confucian culture. At the same time, ten first-class communication purposes were identified as the key points:
1. Weidun site is an important Neolithic cultural site during Majiabang culture period in Changzhou. Sidun site is an important settlement after Liangzhu site in Liangzhu culture period.
Secondly, Changzhou was called Yanling in the Spring and Autumn Period, and it was the food city of Ji Zha. Ji Zha was a great thinker and moral practitioner in the Spring and Autumn Period, as well as the pioneer of Changzhou civilization and the ancestor of mankind.
3. Yancheng is the oldest and most complete ground ancient city pool in China from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, and it is also the unique ancient city of three cities and three rivers in the world.
Fourthly, after the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of Han people in the Central Plains migrated to the south of Huainan. The Eastern Jin regime established an overseas Chinese county-Lanling County in Changzhou. The Xiao family in Lanling successively established the Qi and Liang Dynasties, and a number of outstanding scholars such as Xiao Tong and Xiao emerged.
The opening of the Grand Canal has promoted the social and economic development of Changzhou. The location advantage of Changzhou Canal section makes it occupy a particularly important position in canal transportation. With the development of agricultural economy, Changzhou has become an important grain producing area in China, shouldering the heavy responsibility of collecting grain.
6. Furong Lake was once the water area in Jiangdong, second only to Taihu Lake, and was often flooded. After a weir was built to enclose the farmland, it became a vast field-Furong Wei written by Zhou Chen and Ouyang Dongfeng in the Ming Dynasty. On the one hand, it promoted the development of Changzhou's traditional agricultural economy, but at the same time it changed the local natural ecology and weakened the water storage capacity.

X. Academic Prosperity in Changzhou During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was not only a developed book engraving industry and imperial examination culture, but also five famous schools and a group of outstanding scholars appeared in the Qing Dynasty, holding high flying flags in many fields of knowledge. Changzhou Children's Natural Museum, founded in 1995 and 65438+February, is the only children's natural museum in Jiangsu Province. It has more than 2,000 species and 4,000 pieces of various natural collections, including 103 species and 158 pieces of national first-and second-class protected wildlife specimens. "Fantastic Nature and Beautiful Homes" is a large-scale natural science exhibition focused by the New Cheung Chau Museum, and it is also a special highlight of Shao Bo Museum to attract children. The exhibition hall covers an area of 1000 square meters, with 42/kloc-0 species and 645 specimens on display. The exhibition is mainly divided into four parts: the story of the evolution of life on earth, various beautiful nature, various animal worlds and beautiful hometown. Through humanized design and modern display means, all kinds of static specimens are perfectly integrated with their living environment, and the whole exhibition hall is full of vitality and interest. In order to increase children's interest in learning and exploring, there are also many interactive projects in the exhibition.
The entrance of the exhibition hall is a small hall. The subtlety of the foyer is that a hemispherical celestial body hangs on the top like the sky, and the special lighting makes it a "starlight", which indicates that the earth we live in is not alone in the vast universe.
Behind the hall is "Just Visiting", which shows the arduous and tortuous evolution of life on earth. On one side of the tunnel, representative fossil specimens of various geological periods are displayed in the form of niches, such as trilobites, dinosaur eggs, Confucius birds and so on.
When you leave the time tunnel, you will enter "all kinds of beautiful nature". All kinds of strange and interesting wild animals are combined together in a patchwork way, and with the high-tech video and acoustic noise, a diverse and vibrant natural picture scroll is presented to the audience.
Animal World introduces many wild animals at home and abroad in unit form. For example, Insect World mainly uses traditional methods to display a large number of rare insect specimens in the world, and at the same time uses modern means such as electric model and computer virtual technology to show insect activities and abnormal development of butterflies, so that the audience can have a real feeling about the colorful insect world. "Mammals" display various animal specimens in the form of open scenes. In order to highlight the natural form of these specimens, the concept tree extracted by elephants is the main landscape production, which is concise and lively. The "Bird Kingdom" mainly displays beautiful rare birds in the mountains. In front of the faint ink painting background, flowers and plants are scattered and trees are shaded, and all kinds of rare birds compete for each other.
Passing through the interactive area, the audience will enter another unit of the exhibition-"beautiful homeland", which involves marine life, beach wetlands and low mountains and hills. Among the three connected natural landscapes, "ocean scene" attracts the audience the most. Under the special light, the "corner of the ocean" looks so deep and quiet. Coral and starfish lie quietly on the bottom of the sea, fin whales and Chinese sturgeon swim freely, and a huge shark is showing its sharp teeth waiting for its prey.
Bypassing the "ocean scene", the audience entered the "tidal flat wetland". The wetland landscape here is dominated by Yancheng coastal wetland in our province. Deep in the reeds, the flowing water is surging, the water plants are lush, the elk leisurely feed among the reeds, the red-crowned crane walks in the shallow water with slender long legs, and groups of geese and ducks enjoy themselves in the water. Everything seems so natural and harmonious.
The landscape of low mountains and hills is mainly copied with reference to the habitat of Yili mountain area, and the landscaping techniques are mainly realistic. Dense vegetation, rolling rocks, common animals in this area: wolves, foxes, wild boars, etc. Appear and disappear in the mountains. The virtual animals made by multimedia projection technology run and jump in the distant background, which not only makes up for the deficiency of static specimens, but also enriches the small mountain scenery and is full of life breath.

The content is his own poem: "When the water rises, the magnificent Kuimen stands, and the beautiful goddess floats in the fog. It is half a month after coming back from this mountain and passing another mountain." His works are relaxed and centripetal force, which makes the periphery feel more stretched visually. The combination of Fang and Qu strengthens the modeling ability of Chinese characters. In particular, the mastery of calligraphy lines is extremely comfortable, inclusive, rigid and flexible, curved and straight, square and round, wet and dry, and intertwined with reality, striving for change. The whole work is chic and elegant, and the male tone is mellow.
