Xi, a thousand-year-old ancient capital, is the starting point of the Silk Road between East and West. The imprint of the wheel of time was collected and deposited by her, which became a beautiful legacy in the long river of history. The so-called "five thousand years of culture to see Xi 'an", in order to deeply perceive these historical treasures, the most convenient way is to go to the museum. Some people say, "The museum of a city is the soul of this city". Xi 'an has more than 65,438+000 museums of all sizes, just like this city, with eternal heritage and flashing neon lights. There are nine museums worth visiting here. If you are also a person who respects and explores a long history and splendid culture, I believe you will like them. 0 1 Comprehensive Museum Shaanxi History Museum Every city has the largest and most comprehensive museum, and Shaanxi History Museum is the big brother among Shaanxi museums. Shaanxi History Museum is known as "the pearl of ancient capital and the treasure house of China". It is an art hall that displays Shaanxi's history and culture and China's ancient civilization, and belongs to AAAA-level tourist attractions. There are three collections in Boli, Shaanxi: Foundation Museum (free), Treasure Museum (30 yuan) and Mural Museum (270 yuan). The system of "free tickets" is implemented. Tickets are issued within a limited time. You must make an appointment in official website in advance, and then bring your ID card to pick up the tickets. Note that every Monday is the time to close the museum for renovation, and arrange the time reasonably when traveling. There are more than 370,000 cultural relics in Libo, Shaanxi Province, ranging from simple stone tools used in the early days of ancient humans to various artifacts in social life before 1840. The time span is over one million years, and there are really too many national treasures in it. The agate cup inlaid with gold animal heads is a wine vessel in the Tang Dynasty and a national treasure. This is the only exquisite jade carving of the Tang Dynasty that has been seen so far. Gold-plated silver horse cup, shaped like the skin of nomadic people in northern China. The pot is oblate, with a vertical cylindrical opening at one end and a lid with lotus petals on it. The top of the pot is connected with an arched pot handle through a silver chain. A golden bamboo incense burner given by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Yangxin Princess and her husband General Wei Qing. The fuming furnace is boshan-shaped, with dragon patterns carved on the lower part of the furnace body and four golden dragons embossed on the upper part of the furnace body. Smooth lines and wonderful shapes. To say that it has the most artistic value, it is the first to promote the murals collected by the Tang Tomb Mural Museum, with a total collection area of about 1 1,000 square meters. These murals were preserved by removing 0.5cm- 1cm thick pictures from the tomb, so such a complete large-scale mural is very rare. Besides the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Xi 'an Museum also has a small Wild Goose Pagoda. The "Yanta Morning Bell", one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, refers to the ancient clock in Jianfu Temple bell tower. Xi 'an Museum consists of Little Wild Goose Pagoda, Jianfu Temple and Museum Area. It is a museum integrating museums, historical sites and urban gardens, and it is also an AAAA-level tourist attraction. The main building of Xi 'an Museum was creatively designed by Zhang Jinqiu, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, a designer of Shaanxi History Museum and a famous architect. The overall appearance is based on the concept of "heaven and earth", which highlights China's traditional cultural thought. The treasure of Xi Museum is the three-color flying horse of Hu people. These three colors are vivid and lifelike, and the glaze color is delicious, which is a rare boutique in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is a static sculpture, it gives people a feeling of galloping. There is also a Buddhist sculpture exhibition hall, which systematically displays Buddhist sculptures from the early Northern Wei Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Buddha statue is solemn, the Bodhisattva has low eyebrows and big eyes, and the king Lux is mighty and powerful. Friends who like Buddha statues must not miss it. 02 Site Museum Xi 'an Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum must be the first site museum, which is a national 5A-level scenic spot. The terracotta warriors and horses in each tunnel have different identities, different facial expressions, postures and costumes. The scene is spectacular and breathtaking. You must punch in when you come to Xi 'an, so I won't introduce it here. In short, it will definitely shock you. Hanyang Mausoleum Museum Hanyang Mausoleum is the cemetery where the fourth generation emperor Jing Di and Queen An were buried together. It is the largest museum in China (with a large landscape). The architectural style of the exhibition hall is very unique, and the sunken structure is adopted. The whole exhibition hall is at the bottom, and you can see the actual archaeological situation of Hanyang Mausoleum. You need to wear shoe covers to enter the museum. The museum is full of yin, walking on the glass corridor, and the real archaeological site of the tomb pit is at your feet and beside you. To tell the truth, in the dim light, timid people are really a little scared when they look at the rickety figure in the tunnel. The funerary objects of Hanyang Mausoleum are dazzling, mainly pottery figurines. From the burial pit, there are densely arranged warrior figures, warehouses for storing grain, pottery animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens, and groups of pottery, iron and bronze vessels, which fully show the military scene of the Han Dynasty. These archaeological discoveries are not only the reflection of the funeral system of emperors in the Western Han Dynasty, but also the epitome of economic prosperity, strong military strength and rich material life in the Western Han Dynasty. Few people come to the Hanyang Mausoleum Museum, but its value and collection are absolutely not inferior to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum of Qin Shihuang. Xi Anbanpo Museum Xi Anbanpo Museum is the first prehistoric settlement site museum in New China. Coming here seems to have crossed the Neolithic Age more than 6,000 years ago. You can see the life of the matriarchal clan settlement of Yangshao culture. Tools they use: stone knives, bone hooks, bone shovels, etc. Daily necessities: bone needles, pottery files, jewelry and sacrificial supplies, as well as some customs and habits. The topic "Half Slope" in the hall of the ruins was inscribed by the famous historian Mr. Guo Moruo. You will find that it should be this "address" instead of that "toe". Some people think that Mr. Guo wrote a typo, while others say that it is ulterior motives. We use this toe to show that we are moving from ancient times to modernization step by step. Fish noodle basin is the most precious cultural relic unearthed from Banpo site, belonging to the national treasure level. As long as you have taken a history class in middle school, I believe you will feel familiar with it. Daming Palace Ruins Museum Daming Palace Ruins Museum is located under the landscape center of the central axis of Daming Palace National Ruins Park, and adopts semi-underground structure design. The exquisite pottery figurines with the highest artistic level in the Tang Dynasty are displayed here. These terracotta figures are dazzling and varied. What civilian military attaché s, bands, waiters and waitresses, businessmen and artists, as well as foreign envoys, monks and businessmen were buried with them, but they reflected the atmosphere of the whole prosperous Tang Dynasty. 03 Characteristic Museum Beilin Museum Beilin Museum is the earliest museum established in Shaanxi, which mainly collects, displays and studies the inscriptions, epitaphs and stone carvings of past dynasties. Although the name of Beilin Museum is obscure, it contains many national treasures. For example, Liu Jun and Jingyun Bell in Zhaoling. People who like calligraphy must not miss it, such as Wang Xizhi, Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing, Mi Fei and Huang Tingjian, all of whom are well known. You can see their original works here. The feeling of visiting here is that the stone tablet is no longer a cultural relic. Seeing the stone tablets piled up at random outside the museum, if they are placed in other museums, they must be displayed in the glass of the exhibition hall. All the undefended things here are left outside, so there are really too many stone tablets here. There are not only famous stone tablets, but also many national cultural relics in Beilin Museum. In the second year of Tang Jingyun, Tang Zhongzong decreed to cast the Jing Yun Bell, which was inscribed by Li Dan of Tang Ruizong, and was a precious book trace handed down by Li Dan. Jing Yun clock is made of bronze, weighing 6 tons, and has 32 stalactites with adjustable melody. The bell is pure, elegant, crisp and loud. After the founding of New China, china national radio recorded Jingyun Bell, which was played as "New Year's Bell" on New Year's Eve every year. This tradition has been used to this day. The stone horse in Daxia is a stone carving in front of the tomb of Helian Bobo, the son of Helian Bobo, the founder of Daxia. On the front foot, there is the handwriting "Revitalizing Jiazi is six years old in summer and has a heart in May", which is the only cultural relic with a date of summer in China. In order to commemorate the six horses that the Tang King rode in the founding war, the court painter Yan presided over the design and carved the images of six horses in the form of high relief, which were placed on both sides of the Sima Gate altar in the north of Zhaoling as a memorial. Li Shimin personally wrote a hymn for each horse, which was inscribed by the great calligrapher Ou Yangxun and engraved on the upper corner of each relief. Unfortunately, two horses were stolen. Xi Anqin Brick Hanwa Museum Xi Anqin Brick Hanwa Museum collects tiles and ancient bricks from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a characteristic museum with the largest number and variety of ceramic tiles in China. The so-called "Qin bricks and Han tiles" not only refers to the bricks in the Qin dynasty, but also includes the tiles in the Han dynasty. But because the architectural ceramics in Qin and Han dynasties occupied an important position in the ceramic industry and made great progress. In order to commemorate and explain the glory and prosperity of architectural decoration in this period, the bricks and tiles in the Qin and Han Dynasties were collectively called "Qin Bricks and Han Tiles". The museum is located in the scenic spot of Handuling Site Ecological Park in Qujiang New District, Xi City. The scenic spot has a beautiful environment and a relatively large area, which is a scenic spot with China cultural characteristics. Among them, the tiles of "Dafeihong, Yutu Toad and Yiyantang" in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are extremely precious. There are also four widely circulated gods from the Warring States to the Han Dynasty: Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu. Friends who are interested in Qin Brick Hanwa must not miss this place. Guanzhong Folk Museum Guanzhong Folk Museum is a national 4A-level tourist attraction. It brings together more than 100 typical houses scattered around Guanzhong, which have protection value, and moved here, forming a street with scattered ancient houses. There are also a large number of intangible cultural heritages such as local operas, craft workshops, etiquette and customs, forming four series and nine categories of collections of folk art, Guanzhong dwellings, folk customs and celebrity calligraphy and painting. Sitting in the courtyard of Guanzhong and watching the performance of Shaanxi Opera on the stage, I suddenly seem to be a Shaanxi native. In fact, besides these museums, the museums of Northwest University are also good. There are some good exhibits in paleontology and archaeology, which are also open to the outside world, with convenient transportation and convenient visits. Museums are highly concentrated history and the world, and they are huge treasures for storing natural and cultural heritage. As the saying goes, look at three points and listen to seven points. Please don't leave in a hurry if you come. Be sure to stop and watch in front of the exhibits, listen to the explanations and understand the stories of these collections. You will find that the wisdom accumulated in your place, our greater China, over the past five thousand years is amazing.
