Guyuan Museum - China Travel

introduce

The museum's collections are mainly northern bronzes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and Silk Road cultural relics from the Northern Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang Dynasties. The building of the museum is not complicated. It consists of four parts: the exhibition building, the bell pavilion, the ancient tomb restoration hall, and the stone carvings. The exhibition building is the main area for tourists to visit. The exhibition in the exhibition building is divided into two parts: the basic exhibition "Guyuan Historical Relics Exhibition" and the special exhibition "Silk Road in Guyuan". There are three cultural relics in the basic display that are the treasures of the town hall of Guyuan Museum: the gilded silver vase of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the glass bowl with convex nails, and the lacquer coffin paintings of the Northern Wei Dynasty are collected here.

The national treasure gilt silver vase is very precious, with a typical Persian Sasanian gold and silverware style, and a typical exotic style. It is a steady and unique shape composed of a duckbill-shaped flow, a slender neck, an arc-shaped handle like a standing barbarian, a jade pot-like belly and a trumpet-shaped seat. The three groups of figures on the belly of the bottle describe an ancient Greek myth.

The glass bowl with convex nails is about 8 cm high and 7 cm deep. The whole body is transparent green, and there are small air bubbles in the bowl that are evenly distributed. The outer wall of the bowl is decorated with 14 raised circles in two circles, arranged in a dislocation up and down. The lacquer coffin paintings of the Northern Wei Dynasty were unearthed in a joint burial tomb in the southern suburbs of Guyuan. There are exquisite lacquer paintings on the male coffin. The coffin lid, front door and left and right side panels are painted with a picture of the Tianhe River, a picture of a banquet in front of the owner of the tomb, and a story about a filial son. painting. Based on the attire of the owner of the tomb, the shape of the coffin and the content of the lacquer paintings, it is speculated that the age of the tomb is around the tenth year of Taihe (486) in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the owner of the tomb may be a Xianbei.

The three treasures of the town hall are sometimes sent to other museums for touring exhibitions, and the gilt and silver vases of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are so precious that the museum sometimes puts them in the warehouse for preservation, and tourists can not see these collections every day. In addition, the museum's special exhibition "Silk Road in Guyuan" shows the bronze wares of northern minorities in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cultural relics of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and tomb murals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which are also very worth seeing.

As a well-known museum in Northwest China, the cultural relics on display are still very valuable. National first-class cultural relics such as Persian gilded silver pots are of great historical value.

As a city museum, the scale is not bad. Guyuan has a long history and rich local unearthed cultural relics, especially a large number of tombs. free. There is also almost no service, simple display, a little text explanation, no peripheral business, no explanation, no cultural development... It's hardly an attraction. For ordinary tourists who do not have systematic historical knowledge, especially those who do not have historical knowledge of the western region, it is more difficult to visit. For teenagers, it's not interesting.

The Guyuan Museum is still worth visiting. Although there are few exhibition halls, the main line of the exhibition is clear and the collection is rich. I personally think it is more meaningful than the Ningxia Museum! Have a clear understanding of the history of Guyuan, the place where the Silk Road must pass, and the place where military strategists of all dynasties must contend!

Guyuan has a long history and is one of the birthplaces of civilization in the Northwest. The Silk Road culture is ancient and brilliant. The museum is a national first-class museum. A large number of historical materials and cultural relics here tell the origin of the northern ethnic Guyuan region and the history and civilization of Ningxia and Northwest China. Don't miss the three national treasure-level cultural relics (although they are replicas and video materials) and more than 100 national first-class cultural relics.

Guyuan Museum has been undergoing renovations and officially opened at the end of October 2016. Even in Beijing, I have visited many museums, but I have to say that the Guyuan Museum is really worth seeing. The entire venue is very carefully arranged, with a high-end atmosphere and a high-grade atmosphere. The key is that there are really good things. Three soul treasures: a gilded silver vase, the story of the Trojan War with a hammer, a glass bowl, and a lacquer coffin painting from the Northern Wei Dynasty. The only problem with lacquer coffin paintings is the pictures, but the first two are genuine and so delicate. The rest of the gold and silver products and murals are all exquisite. I have been looking at the six small exhibition halls for two hours.
