Qingguo Lane is one of the ancient streets in Changzhou. It was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (158 1). At that time, the canal entered Xishuiguan from Wenheng Bridge, passed through Xiatang from east to west, and wound eastward from Dongshuiguan through the city.
Qingguo Lane faces the canal section of the city. At that time, ships gathered and it was a fruit distribution center in the north and south. There are equipment fruit shops along the coast, which are called the old "Thousand Fruit Lane". "Changzhou Fu" says: "When you walk into Qianguo Lane, peaches, plums, plums and colors are all old." After the canal was diverted, the name of this alley remains to this day. It is difficult to distinguish between "Qian" and "Qing" in Changzhou dialect, so there is "Qingguo Lane".
Qingguo Lane Cultural Memory Museum is the center of Qingguo Lane Exhibition Hall, located in Luzhai, Zhengsu Lane, with a building area of1.200m2.. It takes "context and ingenuity" as its soul theme and "connecting the preceding with the following, attaching importance to culture, preserving memory and showing ingenuity" as its development concept.
By combing the canal's long water vein, profound historical context and Changzhou's urban atmosphere, we can refine the cultural characteristics, show the ingenious course and highlight the spirit of Changzhou, and create a cultural space that integrates the functions of display (display), communication (communication), education (education), creation (creativity) and research (learning).
