introduce

The pristine folk customs in northern Shaanxi are a place that attracts tourists. In addition to experiencing the streets and alleys, visiting museums will also give you a lot of rewards. Luochuan Folk Museum is a very unique museum. Located in Luochuan County, northern Shaanxi, it is a group of courtyard-style buildings restored in accordance with the residential style of the Qing Dynasty. From a long distance, you can see a string of five eye-catching red lanterns hanging on the side of the road, with the words "Folk Museum" written on them. The carvings on the exterior walls of the museum are very exquisite, which makes people look forward to the exhibitions inside. In the courtyard, there are not only cave dwellings that are common in northern Shaanxi, but also tile-roofed houses in the middle of the country. Several exhibition halls first display farm tools, and then there are shadow puppet shows. You can touch or even manipulate these puppets by yourself; in the custom exhibition hall, you can see the style of Luochuan drums; , there are bridal chambers with beautiful flowers and full moons, and birthday halls where big birthdays are held, all of which have a strong northern Shaanxi style. There is a big birthday character on the birthday hall, which is composed of a hundred stamps with the official seal of Yanchang County, which means very auspicious. Paper-cutting, cloth art and clay sculpture also have their own characteristics.
