Xi 'an, the capital of the Millennium, is the starting point of the Silk Road between the East and the West. The mark that the time wheel ran over was collected and deposited by her, and became a beautiful legacy in the long river of history. The so-called "five thousand years of culture to see Xi 'an", if you want 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 100 large and small museums. Just like this city, it has an eternal heritage and flashing neon lights. Here are 9 museums worth visiting. If you are also a person who respects and explores the 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 in Shaanxi Museum. Known as "the pearl of ancient capital and the treasure house of China", Shaanxi History Museum 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 kinds of collections in Boli, Shaanxi: Foundation Museum (free), Treasure Museum (30 yuan) and Mural Museum (270 yuan). The system of "free tickets" is implemented, and tickets are distributed in limited time, so you should make an appointment in official website in advance, and then bring your ID card to the door to collect tickets. Note that every Monday is the time to close the museum for renovation, so we should arrange the time reasonably when we travel. There are more than 370,000 pieces of cultural relics in the collection of Shaanxi Libo, ranging from simple stone tools used in the initial stage of ancient humans to various artifacts in social life before 1840. The time span is more than 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. It is the only pretty jade carving seen in the Tang Dynasty so far. The gilded horse-bit cup with silver pattern is shaped like a skin of a nomadic people in northern China. The pot is oblate, with a vertical cylindrical mouth at one end and a lotus-petal-covered pot cover. The top of the pot is connected with an arched pot handle by a silver chain. Golden bamboo incense burner, which was given to Yangxin princess royal and her husband, General Wei Qing by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The fuming furnace is Boshan-shaped, with a dragon pattern carved on the lower part of the furnace body and four golden dragons embossed on the upper part of the furnace body. The lines are smooth and the shape is wonderful. 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 of about 1000 square meters. These murals are preserved by removing pictures with a thickness of 0.5cm- 1cm from the tomb, so such complete large-scale murals are very rare. In addition to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is also a small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi 'an Museum. The "Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell", one of the "Eight Scenes in Guanzhong", refers to the ancient clock in the bell tower of Jianfu Temple. The Xi 'an Museum is composed of Little Wild Goose Pagoda, Jianfu Temple and Museum District. 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 was created with the concept of "heaven and earth", which highlighted China's traditional cultural thought. The treasure of Xi 'an Museum is the three-color flying horse of Hu people. This three-color shape is vivid, 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 horses. There is also the Buddhist sculpture exhibition hall here, 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 good eyes, and the Heavenly King and Lux are 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 one in the 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 magnificent and breathtaking. You must punch in when you come to Xi 'an, and there is not much introduction here. In short, it will definitely shock you. Hanyang Mausoleum Museum Hanyang Mausoleum is the cemetery where the fourth generation emperor Jing Qi and the queen Wang of Xi 'an were buried in the same cave. It is the largest museum in China (with a large area of garden landscape). The architectural style of the exhibition hall is very unique, and it adopts a sinking structure. 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 when you enter the museum. The museum is full of yin and qi, walking on the glass corridor, and the real archaeological site of the burial pit is at your feet and beside you. To tell the truth, in the dim light, people who are timid are really a little scared when they look at the figures staggering in the tunnel. The funerary objects in Hanyang Mausoleum are dazzling, mainly pottery figurines. From the burial pit, there are densely arranged warrior figurines, warehouses for storing grain, pottery animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and chickens, and groups of pottery, iron and copper household utensils, which fully show the military scene of the Han Dynasty. These archaeological discoveries are not only the reflection of the funeral system of the emperors in the Western Han Dynasty, but also the epitome of economic prosperity, strong military strength and abundant material life in the Western Han Dynasty. Few people come to the Hanyang Mausoleum Museum, but its value and collection are definitely not inferior to the Qin Shihuang Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. Xi 'an Banpo Museum Xi 'an Banpo Museum is the first prehistoric settlement site museum in New China. When you come here, it seems that you have traveled through the Neolithic Age more than 6,000 years ago. You can see the life of the matriarchal clan settlement of Yangshao culture. The tools they used: stone knives, bone hooks, bone shovels, etc., daily utensils: bone needles, pottery files, jewelry and sacrificial supplies, as well as some customs and habits. The inscription "Banpo Yiti" on the hall of the site was inscribed by the famous historian Mr. Guo Moruo. You will find that it should be this "address" rather than that "toe" Some people think that Mr. Guo Lao wrote a typo, while others say that it has ulterior motives. We use this "toe" to indicate that we are moving from ancient times to modernization step by step. The fish-faced basin is the most precious cultural relic unearthed from Banpo site, which belongs to the national treasure level. As long as you have taken a history class in middle school, I believe you will feel familiar. Daming Palace Ruins Museum Daming Palace Ruins Museum is located under the central axis landscape center 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 pottery figurines are dazzling and varied. What civil servants and military officials, bands, waiters and waitresses, businessmen and artists, as well as envoys, monks and merchants from foreign countries, are all buried with them, but they reflect the weather 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 inscriptions, epitaphs and stone carvings of past dynasties. Although the name of Beilin Museum is obscure, it contains many national treasures. For example, Liujun in Zhaoling and Jing Yun Zhong. 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 familiar with each other. 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 stacked randomly outside the museum, if they are placed in other museums, they are definitely displayed in the glass of the exhibition hall. Here, what is completely unprotected is left outside, which shows that there are really too many stone tablets here. There are not only famous stone tablets, but also many national cultural relics in the Beilin Museum. In the second year of Tang Jingyun, Tang Zhongzong decreed to cast the Jing Yun Bell, on which there was an inscription written by Li Dan of Tang Ruizong, which was a rare and precious book trace handed down by Li Dan. The Jing Yun Bell was cast in bronze, weighing 6 tons, and the bell body had 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 and played it as a "New Year Bell" on New Year's Eve every year. This tradition has been used ever since. The stone horse in Daxia is a stone carving in front of the tomb of Helian, the son of Helian Bobo, the founder of Daxia. The handwriting "Daxia Zhenxing is six years old in Jiazi Summer and May Xinyou" remains in the front foot, which is the only cultural relic with the date of Daxia in China. In order to commemorate the six horses that Li Shimin, the king of Tang Dynasty, rode in the founding war, the court painter Yan Liben presided over the design and carved the images of the six horses in the form of high relief, which were placed on both sides of the altar of Sima Gate in the north of Zhaoling as a memorial. Li Shimin personally wrote a hymn for each horse, which was written by the great calligrapher Ou Yangxun and engraved on the upper corner of each relief. Unfortunately, two horses were stolen. Xi 'an Qin Brick Hanwa Museum Xi 'an Qin Brick Hanwa Museum collects tiles and ancient bricks from the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is a special museum with the largest number and variety of tiles in China. The so-called "Qin bricks and Han tiles" do not only refer to the bricks of the Qin Dynasty, but also the tiles of the Han Dynasty. But because the architectural ceramics in Qin and Han dynasties occupied an important position in the ceramics industry and developed by leaps and bounds. In order to commemorate and explain the glory and prosperity of architectural decoration in this period, the bricks and tiles in Qin and Han Dynasties were collectively called "Qin Brick and Han Tile". The museum is located in the scenic area of Handuling Site Ecological Park in Qujiang New District, Xi 'an. The scenic spot has a beautiful environment and a relatively large area, and it is a scenic spot with very Chinese cultural characteristics. Among them, the tiles of "Dafeihong, Yutu Toad, Yiyanshou" in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are extremely precious. There are also four gods, Wadang, which spread widely from the Warring States to the Han Dynasty: Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu. Don't miss this place for friends who are interested in Qin Brick Hanwa. Guanzhong Folk Museum Guanzhong Folk Museum is a national 4A-level tourist scenic spot. It is a collection of more than 100 typical houses scattered all over Guanzhong, and moved here, forming a street of ancient houses. There are also a large number of intangible cultural heritages, such as local operas, craft workshops, etiquette and customs, which form 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, it seems that I have suddenly become a native of Shaanxi. In fact, in addition to these museums, the Museum of Northwest University is also good. There are some good exhibits in paleontology and archaeology, and it is also open to the outside world, with convenient transportation and convenient visit. The museum is a highly concentrated history and world, and it is a huge treasure for storing natural and cultural heritage. As the saying goes, three points to see and seven points to listen. If you come, please don't leave in a hurry. Be sure to stop and watch in front of the exhibits, listen to the explanations and learn the stories about these collections. You will find that where you are, our greater China, the crystallization of wisdom accumulated over the past five thousand years is amazing.
