What cultural relics are worth seeing in Jingzhou Museum?

Jingzhou Museum is the most powerful museum in prefecture-level cities. A large number of fine historical culture and artworks are collected here to meet the needs of different people and bring different visual impact and experience to tourists. , let me share with you specific play guides and strategies.

The Hubei Jingzhou Museum is one of the “Top Ten Museums” at the prefectural and municipal levels in my country, with a collection of more than 130,000 cultural relics, including 492 sets of national first-class cultural relics. The treasures of the town hall include the ancient corpse of the Western Han Dynasty "Mr. Sui", the lacquered feather figure, the pair of dragons and phoenixes in light yellow silk-faced cotton robes, and the tiger-seat and phoenix-framed drums.

Although I did not see these four ancient collections during this museum trip, the Jingzhou Museum still left a deep impression on me.

I have two impressions. One is that the security uncle of the museum is like a secret sweeping monk, and the other is the exquisite collection of cultural relics in the museum. Here I saw the four generations of "Yue King Sword", exquisite Unparalleled dragon-shaped jade pendant, mysterious jade cover, ancient Tao Zu, the world's earliest mathematical treatise "The Book of Arithmetic" and so on.

The museum’s exhibition room has a construction area of ??7,201 square meters, consisting of the main exhibition building and the treasure hall, with an exhibition area of ??3,500 square meters.

Among them, it is a pity that we cannot have a conversation with the "treasure of the museum" because the treasure museum is being upgraded. But all the cultural relics in the main exhibition building made up for this regret, allowing me to swim in the long river of history.

The main cultural relics exhibition halls in the main building include "Exhibition of Primitive Culture of Jianghan Plain", "Exhibition of Chu-Han Bronze Culture of Jianghan Plain", "Exhibition of Slips and Texts Unearthed in Jingzhou", "Jade Artifacts Unearthed from Chu Tombs in Jingzhou and Xiongjiazhong Exhibition" and "Exhibition of Fine Porcelain Collection".

The "Jianghan Plain Primitive Culture Exhibition" opens up an ancient and primitive cultural source, from the Jigongshan Site of the Paleolithic Age to the Daxi Culture, Qujialing Culture, and Stone Age of the Neolithic Age. Jiahe Culture, the lives of those primitive ancestors who were too far away from us seem to have suddenly become closer again.

When I walked in, time broke through everything. The stone tools, pottery, jade, etc. used by the primitive ancestors in production and life gave us today a clearer understanding. .

Here, Tao Zu, located in the center of the exhibition hall, reproduces the social sacrifices and customary activities of the prehistoric era in the Jianghan Plain. Taozu can be said to be the root of the ancestors of Hubei. This is an artifact from the Neolithic Age, reflecting the unique male reproductive worship of the people of that period.

The "Jianghan Plain Chu-Han Bronze Culture Exhibition" is an exchange between modern people and the cold weapon era. All the exhibits collected here mainly come from historical archaeological excavations, including ritual vessels, musical instruments, weapons, chariots and horses. appliances, household utensils, etc.

The precious cultural relics that come into view include the big bronze statue, the tiger statue, the lifting pot, the big wok tripod, the rising tripod tripod, and the chime bells from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Among them, there are several cultural relics that you must not pass by in a hurry, that is, the four generations of "Yue Wang Sword", namely the Yue Wangzhou Gou Sword, the Yue Wang Buguang Sword, the Yue Wang Luying Sword, and the Yue Wang Blind Girl Sword.

The martial Chu people regarded the sword as their life, and they were often buried with the sword they wore after death. There are many swords of the Yue King unearthed in Jingzhou, among which the world-famous one belongs to the Yue King Goujian Sword (now in the Hubei Provincial Museum). Although the sword of King Goujian of Yue is not here, the swords of his son, grandson and great-grandson are miraculously gathered together.

Among them, there are only three swords of the Yue King Blind Girl in existence, which are collected in the Shanghai Museum, Anqing Museum and Jingzhou Museum respectively.

Walking into the "Exhibition of Slips and Texts Unearthed in Jingzhou" is undoubtedly a profound philosophical exchange.

Here, you will discover the wisdom and creativity of the ancient ancestors. "The Book of Arithmetic" is the earliest mathematical monograph in my country and the world. It is rich in content and is called "a major discovery in the history of Chinese mathematics."

There are more than 200 bamboo slips in the book, including a complete There are 185 of them.

According to research, it is at least 150 years earlier than "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"

At the same time, there is also "The Rules Made in the Second Year" by Xiao He. "The Second Year of the Law" should not be missed. It is not only of great value for the study of the education system in the early Han Dynasty, but also of great significance for the study of philology and the history of calligraphy.

If we say, If the first three exhibition halls had shocked me, the next "Jingzhou Chu Tombs and Xiongjiazhong Exhibition" shook my firm stance on China's oldest culture

Jingzhou Xiong. The Jiazhong Chu tomb is the highest-level Chu tomb known in my country. The dozens of exquisite jade articles such as dragon-shaped jade pendants, jade bis, and jade rings unearthed are a feast for the eyes. Among them, the dragon-shaped jade pendant depicts a god and a dragon. It is very mysterious, and the dragon-shaped jade pendants on display made me wonder again: Are there really no dragons in this world?

At the same time, I was particularly surprised by a jade cover in the museum. , this is a funeral mask, which was often used in funerals for ancient nobles. It was called "Mingmu" in the Western Zhou Dynasty and "covering face" in the Han Dynasty.

This jade mask is made of a Carved from a whole piece of dark green jade, the plane is oval, 20 cm long, 13.9 cm wide and 0.23 cm thick. It is the same size as an ordinary person's face. It is the only funeral mask made of a whole piece of jade unearthed in my country so far. , is the oldest jade carving covering (I will share this cultural relic separately).

After looking at pottery, bronze and jade, the last stop is the collision with porcelain. In the museum's "Collection of Fine Porcelain Exhibition", there is such a piece of porcelain that is particularly precious. It is a rare Yuan Dynasty underglaze red wind dancing branches that the security uncle strongly recommended me to appreciate in the "Jianghan Plain Primitive Culture Exhibition" The jar with chrysanthemum cover is a national first-class cultural relic.

Underglaze red is a kind of underglaze painting created in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi Province during the Yuan Dynasty. Due to its difficulty in making, complex craftsmanship and extremely low yield, brightly colored pieces like this one are extremely rare and rare. .

At the same time, a celadon lid jar with lotus leaf pattern from the Song Dynasty is also one of the exquisite products. The whole body is covered with celadon glaze, which is slightly green. The glaze color is uniform, smooth and translucent, and the texture is thick. It not only has a unique shape, but also has a stable and pure color. There is a circle of red at the bottom, which academia calls "chicken blood red" or "rain red", which is caused by kiln changes.

When I came out of the museum after viewing these exhibition artifacts, I couldn’t help but admire: “The profoundness of Jingchu culture and the splendor of Chinese civilization are all due to the wisdom of our ancestors. The Jingzhou Museum is a As a local comprehensive museum, I really think it can reach the level of a national 5A scenic spot.
