After the reopening of the museum we came here for the first time, the view is very wide, we are from the east gate entrance, in front of the museum are very broad water. After entering the museum, we received a ticket to enter the exhibition hall:
The first stop Changzhou history and culture exhibition hall. Inside, there are paintings, calligraphy and various kinds of ancient jade, porcelain, stoneware and bronzes, etc. It shows the long history of Changzhou. It shows the long cultural heritage of Changzhou.
On the second floor of the exhibition is very rich in content, there are loaded rice boat, rich fish and rice country, Xicangqiao is an important dock in Changzhou. Before modern times, people relied on waterways for transportation. Xicangqiao is now so dilapidated that one can't imagine that it used to be the most prosperous and noisy area of the city. I saw the handmade combs of Changzhou, which took dozens of procedures to make in the days when there were no machines. The people of Changzhou are very skillful. There is also the weaving industry, which is the specialty of Changzhou. Of course, there's also the cultural heritage of Changzhou's opera and opera singers. There are also many excavated carvings. The land of Changzhou has nurtured a number of talented people such as Ji Zha, Xiao Tong, Tang Jingchuan, Zhao Yi, Sheng Xuanhuai, Qu Qiubai and so on. Yanling, Biling, Jinling, Lanling are the names of Changzhou in different historical periods. Longcheng is the nickname of Changzhou, which is derived from the Sixth Dragon City during the Sixth Dynasty of Xiao and Liang.
And came to Xie Zhiliu Art Museum. Mr. Xie Zhiliu was born in 1910 in Wujin, Changzhou, a family of calligraphy, the name of the child, the word Zhiliu, the late name of Zhuangmuweng, died in 1997. Mr. Xie Zhiliu is a contemporary famous master of painting and calligraphy art, ancient painting and calligraphy connoisseur. Show Xie Zhiliu walked through the arduous road and achieved artistic achievements in order to memorialize the village sage, inspire future students. Inspire people. The show will be a great success.
The third floor of the see the children's natural exhibition hall, the display content is mainly divided into: "the story of the evolution of life on earth", "the diversity of the beautiful nature", "colorful world of animals ", "beautiful and colorful hometown earth" four parts. When I saw that there is a replica of the underwater world, I saw the sea through a glasses, really good blue, pure. A **** there are 10 pictures, each one is so beautiful, can not help but marvel at the wonders of nature. There were also so many real animal specimens, tigers, lions, bears, and other animals. Lions, bears, monkeys, kangaroos. Camels. Zebras. There were also many birds, not to mention my son and I have never heard so many kinds of birds, you can also press the button to the microphone and you can hear all kinds of bird calls. The last thing my son was interested in was wolves, whether they bite or not. He also showed me snakes. When he saw the big praying mantis, he was scared because it was motorized and moved, and the spiders. When he saw the fluttering butterfly projected on the wall, he wanted to catch it. Children are really innocent. They love beautiful animals. After leaving the Children's Nature Museum, we came to the next display of mahogany furniture donated by Liu Guojun. Let's take a look at the introduction of Mr. Liu Guojun. Mr. Liu Guojun was born in 1887 in Jingjiang County, Changzhou Province. Since childhood, his family was poor, relying on the Changzhou Buniu, Boutou and other places to do apprenticeships, as a street runner to accumulate the initial capital, and gradually embarked on the road of industrial salvation. Fifty years of wind and rain, his footprints throughout China and even at home and abroad, not only the first Changzhou machine printing technology, but also the success of the trial production of flat velvet, corduroy, Changzhou, one of the founders of the modern machine industry, for the establishment of China's modern national weaving and dyeing industry and development has made an important contribution. Mahogany is a hardwood species with excellent texture, which began to be favored by the people of China in the middle and late Qing Dynasty. Mr. Liu Guojun donated this batch of mahogany furniture with very exquisite workmanship and beautiful decorations, made of old mahogany, mostly from the late Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China. These furniture for modern people is only in the exhibition hall for people to visit me, bulky and not beautiful enough to meet the requirements of people's lives. Of course, its existence has its historical value and significance.
The modern exhibition hall is full of modern and technological flavor. And the visit is free. Changzhou has accelerated and increased the construction of the city in recent years, from the operation of the BRT to the opening of the large open Qingfeng Park, as well as the opening of the Changzhou Museum to the public. Citizens are the biggest beneficiaries. The children also have more knowledge.
Out of the exhibition hall we accompanied our son in the Civic Square skating for a while. Mr. and I sat down for a while and then drove away. In the new area of the Kentucky Fried Chicken car shuttle store bought a children's package and went home. It's good to know that we've been out with our son for a while. At least I had the heart to write these words.
