Handan Museum - China Travel

introduce

Handan City Museum is a palace that displays the history and culture of Handan.

In the central hall of the museum, there are three wrought copper murals, "Light of Cishan", "Hu Fu Riding and Shooting", and "Jian'an Character", covering an area of 210 square meters. These three forged copper murals are currently the largest indoor forged copper murals in China. In the center of the hall is a group of bronze horse sculptures from the State of Zhao.

There are six parts in the museum's display content: (1) Cishan culture. The Cishan culture is the representative of the middle and early Neolithic culture in my country. The display focuses on the four major creations of the ancestors of Handan planting millet and walnuts, raising chickens and pigs 8,000 years ago. (2) Zhao Culture. During the Warring States Period, Handan was the capital of Zhao State. The exhibition concentratedly reflects Zhao's political pioneering spirit, economic status as an iron smelting center, military reform in Hu clothing, riding and archery, and cultural charm featuring music and dance. (3) Tombs of the Northern Dynasties. Yecheng is the "old capital of the Six Dynasties", and the tomb of Princess Ruru is a microcosm of the culture of the Northern Dynasties. The display reflects the high level of culture and art of this era. (4) Cizhou Kiln. Cizhou Kiln was created and fired in the Northern Dynasties, and became an outstanding representative of Chinese folk kilns in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The display reproduces the glorious history of Cizhou Kiln for more than a thousand years with a large number of unearthed fine products. (5) Hundred years of vicissitudes. A large number of materials are displayed to reflect the rise of modern industry and commerce in Handan and the national democratic revolutionary struggle, especially the revolutionary struggle in the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan border area, and the century-old history of the revival under the leadership of the party after liberation. (6) Handan Urban Planning and Construction Achievements Exhibition. The display reflects the great changes in Handan's development into a modern metropolis after more than 50 years of planning and construction.

🚌Transportation: Pay attention to the address of the new museum. The old museum has been changed to an art museum. The location on the xie route is wrong. The new museum is located at No. 399 Renmin Road, Congtai District, east of Longhu Park 📌tips: "Handan Museum" wx public account is free to make an appointment to visit, close at 5 o'clock, and stop entering the museum at 4 o'clock The exhibition hall is divided into four floors, which looks like a big bird's nest. The temporary exhibition area is on the second floor, and the permanent exhibition is on the third and fourth floors. Of course, the boutiques are also on these two floors. 📍The "Gandan" style on the third floor - the basic display of Handan's history and culture, with a total of 4 exhibition halls and 9 units. Handan is close to the Taihang River in the west, with steep mountains, shallow mountains and hills, and valleys and gullies. During the Paleolithic period, there was the site of Xinqiao, and during the Neolithic period, Cishan had a splendid agricultural civilization. The culture of the Shang nationality originated and developed in the Zhanghe River Basin. Handan was the capital of Zhao State during the Warring States Period, and it was a famous commercial city in the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yecheng rose, and during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was successively the capital of the six dynasties of Cao Wei, Hou Zhao, Ran Wei, Qian Yan, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi. It flourished for nearly 400 years. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, great names have flourished through canals, and Ming and magnetic chokes have flourished, and gold and iron horses have disturbed the history. In the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guangping and Daming Lufu stood side by side, and the traditions of farming, studying and passing on family traditions were solid. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the railway was connected, the new learning gradually flourished, and the industry and mining were slightly prominent, which was the beginning of the revival of Handan in modern times. During the period of the Republic of China, modern industry was struggling to advance, and the national crisis was increasingly looming. The flames of the Anti-Japanese War ignited all over southern Hebei, and the old revolutionary base began in Yuanyuan. The sons and daughters of Handan made contributions to the establishment of New China and national rejuvenation. 📌Excellent collections: red agate belt hook, jade armor piece, carbonized walnut with a history of 7,700 years ago is "the second best in the world in Cishan", bronze horse, gilt dragon and tiger inlaid jade dragon sword head, openwork dragon Decorated with a gold medal, scaled Tianlu stand iron, gold and silver painted Chengyu Dajue wine bottle, supporting plate 📍Fourth floor 1.
