Summary of Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum

On Saturday morning, the weather was gloomy. When we got off the bus, we saw a fountain in front. There are many people and children playing around the fountain. On the right is the China Grand Canal Museum. When we entered the hall, we first saw a big ship, which was taken by the famous Emperor Kangxi. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is about 1800 km long and is the longest canal in the world. The houses and trees on both sides of the canal are very beautiful. This river passes through many cities. People can wash clothes in the river, but they will never fall into the canal. Ships carry salt, cloth and other things from the south to the north.

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum, namely "China Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum". The museum is located in the south of the Canal Culture Square in Gongshu District, Hangzhou, adjacent to the Chen Gong Bridge, the terminal sign at the southern end of the Grand Canal. The investment of this museum is more than 1 100 million yuan, with a building area of 10000 square meters and an exhibition area of more than 5000 square meters.

Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum, the only museum in China with the theme of Millennium Canal. The water boat on the canal, the official welcome of Suzhou government in Qing Dynasty, miniature canal, circular screen ... The Grand Canal started from the ditch dug by King Fu Cha of Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period and was completed in the Sui Dynasty with Luoyang as the center. The Tang and Song Dynasties were extremely prosperous, and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal ran through the north and south in the Yuan Dynasty. It is the oldest and longest artificial canal in the world.

In the first exhibition hall of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum, people and historical pictures are used to show the historical story of the ups and downs of this canal, which connects five provinces and four cities in China and runs through five major water systems. In the first exhibition hall, there is a bronze Ge unearthed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which has a history of more than 2,400 years and is the earliest cultural relic in the museum. The second exhibition hall shows "The Use of the Grand Canal". Many cultural relics related to canal transportation are here. The most historic is Hu, an official of Suzhou government in Qing Dynasty. This wooden conical container was a measuring tool used by the government at that time to collect grain from the people. In the past, all canals were loaded with grain by water trucks. When transporting grain, the rice is taken out of the cabin for Hu to use, which is called "lifting rice over Hu" A stick is equivalent to five buckets, about 35.8 kilograms. There is also a circular screen of more than 700 square meters, and 18 projectors show the grand occasion of canal water transport in that year, which is magnificent.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal Museum, the third exhibition hall, is a glittering canal flowing on the ground. It turns out that the Grand Canal and the Nine Cities on both sides are made of miniature models and placed under the glass floor. There is also a "simulated canal trip cabin" in the third exhibition hall. When you sit inside, you can see the scenery along the Grand Canal.
