Chinanews, Taiyuan, May 19 (Reporter Li Xinsuo) The "Splendid Taiyuan History and Culture Exhibition" was held at the Taiyuan Museum in Shanxi on the 18th. More than 1,000 cultural relics directly show the development of Taiyuan from ancient times to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Each piece of history is worth remembering.

  In the Paleolithic Age, Taiyuan ancestors used stone balls and scrapers to hunt and cut meat; during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Jianzi first built Jinyang City, which opened up 1500 years of glory; in the Han Dynasty, the local people bred five animals and used cattle; the Northern Dynasty, this piece of land There were frequent exchanges between foreigners and the Sui and Tang Dynasties. This was the "accompaniment capital" of the Tang Dynasty; in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang reproduced here, leaving a series of place names and folk customs to future generations.

  According to Zhang Shushuang, deputy curator of Taiyuan Museum, the exhibition is divided into five parts, namely, "The River Winds Around Jinyang City", "Huangyun Painting Corner Sees Bingzhou", "The Power of Xiong Town of Bingmen", "Taiyuan Fenghuo Zhao Zhongyuan" and "District".

  As a national historical and cultural city, Taiyuan has never had an exhibition to systematically show the evolution of the city.

The above exhibition can be said to make up for this shortcoming.

  In the first part of the exhibition, "River Winding Around Jinyang City", was unearthed in Tutang Village, Jiancaoping District, Taiyuan City. Although stone balls and scrapers dating from 3 million to 10,000 years ago are slightly rough, they also have obvious traces of processing.

Not far from each other, the painted pottery bowls, painted pottery basins, etc., dating back from about 10,000 to 4,000 years, are exquisitely decorated and have a higher aesthetic taste.

  In the history of Taiyuan for more than 2500 years, the history of Jinyang ancient city is a rich and colorful section.

  On the wall on one side of the exhibition hall, from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern Wei Dynasty, to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the cultural accumulation layer of the ancient city of Jinyang that lasted for about 1500 years is directly displayed in front of the audience.

"From the building site to the dust pit, and then to the bricks and tiles left by the ancestors", the history here has changed from a cold figure to a discovery site.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Jianzi, Emperor Liu Heng of Han Wen, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and other influential figures walked down the history textbooks from here.

  Zhang Shushuang said that the more than 1,000 cultural relics exhibited this time are all open to the public for the first time, ranging from prehistoric three-legged urns, earthen drums, bamboo slips in the Han Dynasty, to chicken head pots, pottery figurines arrays, and glass cups in the Northern Dynasty, to the palace of the King of Jin in the Ming Dynasty. Each of the porcelain bowls used has a story.

  From the Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the famous city Jinyang ushered in another peak of development and became a metropolis with overall significance.

  In the exhibition unit "The Power of the Army in Xiongmen Township", the array of pottery figurines unearthed from the tomb of Lou Rui in the Northern Dynasties is very eye-catching.

In the middle of the exhibition hall, on the multiple steps, hundreds of warrior figurines, equestrian figurines, female officials figurines, and maid figurines stand each.

Looking around, an underground legion seemed to wake up.

  "The tomb of Lou Rui was excavated in 1979. The owner of the tomb is a North Korean dynasty. More than 800 artifacts have been unearthed. The pottery figurines on display are only a small part of them." said Gan Lu, an instructor from the Public Service Section of the Taiyuan Museum. Shanxi has distinctive features. They have round faces and plump faces. Their noses, eyes, and mouths are concentrated in the middle of their faces, and their abdomen is relatively round, and their legs are thin and short. This is the artistic style of the transition from the Eastern Wei Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

  Shanxi was the main route of the Silk Road during the Northern Dynasties.

At that time, Jinyang City was not lonely because it was located at an important node on the Silk Road.

  "Jinyang was the northern military and political center at the time, and one of the most important cities at the east end of the Silk Road. There were numerous merchants and envoys here." Gan Lu said. There were unearthed local Humen figurines, glass cups, black dancing figurines of the Tang Dynasty, etc. The artifacts show that Taiyuan had frequent foreign exchanges in ancient times.

  On the side of the exhibition hall, surrounded by a piece of gilt bronze, the glass from the tomb of Han Zunian in the Northern Qi Dynasty is eye-catching.

  “Many small pieces of gilt bronzes have been unearthed from the Tomb of Han Zunian in the Northern Qi Dynasty. These bronzes are small and exquisite and have good quality. It is presumed that they are used to store aromatherapy.” Gan Lu said that the most precious unearthed in this cemetery is the glass cup with the cup wall. It presents a honeycomb structure with exquisite craftsmanship, and the luster of the glass can be seen from a distance.

It was a top luxury item imported from the West at that time.

  In the early Ming Dynasty, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang named one of his sons as King of Jin, thus opening a period of Taiyuan's past.

However, with the changes in the world, there are very few Jin dynasty remains.

  In the "Taiyuan Beacon Lights in the Central Plains" unit, a piece of blue and white porcelain from the late Ming Dynasty is extremely precious.

  "This porcelain is known as'made by the inner food', indicating that it came from the palace." Gan Lu said that according to experts, this porcelain was unearthed in Taiyuan Food Street during the period from Wanli to Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. It is one of the few Jin One of the real objects of the palace.
