Why is Henan Museum called "courtyard" instead of "museum"

10 year1October 22nd, the weather was tepid, slightly warmer than the previous days. It's time to wear long pants in Beijing.

At the end of September, the famous Henan Museum in Zhengzhou finally opened to welcome guests. It is the main venue. It is said that it has been renovated and maintained for five years. It has not been opened for five years, and it can be regarded as "grinding a sword for five years." I went to see it last weekend. It's still worth going. You need to make an appointment, hold your ID card and show your reservation code. The twelfth exhibition hall shows the profoundness of the Central Plains from ancient legends, such as Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, Ming and Qing Dynasties and so on. There are many people on weekends, including couples, dolls and classmates. The most surprising thing is an old man in a wheelchair, who is estimated to be over 90 years old. A man in his sixties and seventies gave him a push. Is this the old man's son? Stop and go all the way, talking and laughing, very touching.

Why is Henan Museum called "Yuan"? Generally, museums in our province are called "museums". I only know the Palace Museum in Beijing, which is also a celebrity museum online in recent years. I feel that the museum is taller than the museum. There are about 6-7 "museums" in China: Palace Museum, Nanjing Museum, Shanxi Museum, Henan Museum, National Palace Museum in Taipei, and Shaanxi Qinling Museum. . I don't know if there are any more. .

After special investigation, the original "pavilion" emphasizes the architectural environment, while the "courtyard" emphasizes the overall environment. The courtyard is just another name for the museum, not "taller" than anyone else. The exhibition hall of a museum is often a lot of independent buildings, all in a yard, or the museum itself is a site, that is, a protected building. Do you see it? Look at these so-called courtyards. Needless to say, the whole building complex is a "protected" national treasure.

Let's take a look at the architectural interpretation of Henan Museum:

The overall layout takes the meaning of "Jiuding sets the Central Plains" and takes the center as the main exhibition hall. The main building is based on the ancient stargazing platform in Yuan Dynasty, and it is transformed into a "crowned pyramid" shape through artistic exaggeration. The crown is square pheasant-shaped, undulating up and down, which means that the Central Plains is the source of China and blends in all directions!

Quite domineering!
