"Today I'brushed' Wuhou Temple, Jinsha Site, and Du Fu Thatched Cottage in one breath. The museum is full of high-tech. Profound history and culture, interesting activities, and rich and meaningful activities. The museum in Chengdu It’s too international!” This is the information shared by Zhang Rui, a post-90s "Rong Piao", in his circle of friends on May 18th Museum Day.

In fact, this is just a microcosm of many citizens who love to visit major museums in Chengdu.

  Thanks to the profound cultural heritage and good economic level, Chengdu’s museum construction has a good foundation guarantee and a foundation for development.

The modern museum in Chengdu started as the Antiquities Museum of West China Union University in 1914. After years of development, we have the Chengdu Wuhou Temple Museum, which can meet the needs of the culture lovers of the Three Kingdoms. It is a must-have place for poetry culture lovers at home and abroad—Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum, Asia’s largest insect museum-Huaxi Insect Museum, etc.

The total number of museums is second in the country and the number and quality of non-state museums are first in the country. A city of museums.

  People cannot help asking, why is Chengdu the city of museums?

  The museum is a university Shan Jixiang is optimistic about Chengdu Cultural Museum

  A museum is a big school. Yesterday and tomorrow, history and future, meet here.

Each museum is like a book of history, containing the development code of "from where and where to go".

  Shan Jixiang, the former director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, has a special affection for Chengdu, especially in the three years after the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, he came to Chengdu 29 times, mainly for the repair of cultural relics.

He believes that Sichuan's cultural relics department is remarkable. While the earthquake relief work in 2008, the cultural relics census did not stop.

In addition, when there were still aftershocks, more than 20,000 people entered the main square of the Jinsha Site Museum. Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Thatched Cottage also received many citizens. "This gave me a deep impression and feeling."

  The treasure "Sun Bird" of the Jinsha Site Museum can become a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage, and it is inseparable from Shan Jixiang's recommendation.

"The Jinsha site appeared when the first rays of light shone on the land of China in the new century. It was created by the ancient Shu people more than 2,000 years ago. It is so airy. The sun bird is so dignified and dynamic, I recommended it at the time. As a symbol of Chinese cultural heritage."

  He believes that the "city of museums" does not have a specific standard. The key is to see what role museums play in urban social life.

"The scale and popularity of Chengdu museums is inseparable from the characteristic that Chengdu people love to enjoy culture." Therefore, with the 2016 "Son of the Prosperous Age: Special Exhibition of Emperor Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty", the screen of Chengdu people was swiped on their mobile phones. The total number of visitors exceeded 630,000, and the highest single day exceeded 34,000, setting a new record for similar exhibitions in China.

  There is 1 museum for every 102,000 people, which is close to the level of developed countries

  Every city with a strong culture has rich museums.

  Recently, the Chengdu Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics registered the 160th museum.

Based on the 16.33 million permanent residents of Chengdu in 2018, Chengdu has one museum for every 102,000 people, which is close to the level of developed countries.

  "Chengdu has a large number of museums, rich in types, and outstanding features." On March 31, 2021, Jin Ruiguo, deputy director of the Museum Department of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, said at the opening ceremony of the "Grand Three Kingdoms Exhibition" at the Wuhou Temple Museum in Chengdu.

  At present, there are 20 national museums in Chengdu, including 10 non-state museums.

According to statistics, as of now, Chengdu Museum has more than 300 basic exhibitions, more than 220 temporary exhibitions are held annually, and the annual number of visitors reaches 25.5 million.

The museum has become an important window for spreading Tianfu culture and a cultural highland serving the people.

  On the day of Museum Day this year, a good news came from the main venue in Beijing. Chengdu Museum (Chengdu China Shadow Puppet Museum) "Shadow Dance Vientiane·Puppet Show-China Shadow Puppet Exhibition" won the 2020 "National Museum Top Ten Exhibition Exhibits" , This is after the "Huazhong Jinguan City-Chengdu History and Culture Exhibition·Ancient Chapter", this is another award.

  Chengdu’s museums have won countless awards: Wuhou Temple Museum was selected as "Top 10 Innovation Sharpness of Chinese Museums-Cultural Tourism Brand IP Communication Award", and Jinsha Site Museum was honored as the first batch of National Archaeological Site Parks and "The Most Innovative National Park" “Li Museum”, the new Chengdu Museum was rated as “the top ten most influential museums in the country” soon after its completion... Chengdu has also become a “museum city” with both beauty and connotation because of these museums.

  Chengdu’s museums are beginning to take on a world-class scale and strive to reach more than 320 museums by the end of the 14th Five-Year Plan

  The continuous appearance of museums on the Chengdu Plain is inseparable from the favorable policies of the Chengdu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government and the rich history of Chengdu's multiculturalism.

  Chengdu’s historical and cultural “diversity” is very prominent, such as ancient Shu civilization represented by Baodun-Sanxingdui culture, water conservancy and Taoism culture, Three Kingdoms culture, Tang and Song poetry culture, Five Dynasties music culture, etc., created for the construction of various themed museums It has a very good historical structure.

  The more important reason is that in the past ten years, the Chengdu Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government has successively promulgated the "Opinions on Promoting the Accelerated Development of Private Museums" and "Management Measures for Private Museums in Chengdu" to continuously improve and optimize museum support policies, and take the lead in making non-state-owned museums nationwide. The free open service of the museum is incorporated into the public service system to provide financial budget support.

  Chengdu has also implemented a construction method that combines clusters and decentralization.

On the outskirts of the city, three non-state museum development settlements will be built in Anren Town, Longquanyi District, and Qingchengshan Town, Dujiangyan City. In the city, the state-owned museum complex under construction at Sichuan University will have 6 museums by the end of next year. Built and opened.

  Zhu Shuxi, vice chairman of the Chinese Museum Association and chairman of the Chengdu Museum Association, said that in 2020, the added value of Chengdu’s cultural industry will reach 180.59 billion yuan, and its GDP will exceed 10%; it will receive 204 million tourists and the total tourism revenue will reach 300.518 billion yuan. Among them, all kinds of museums at all levels in the city have made irreplaceable outstanding contributions.

  The construction of the Chengdu Museum in Tianfu Square in the center of Chengdu originated from Zhu Shuxi's many visits to developed countries such as the United States, France, and the United Kingdom.

He found that in the most prosperous areas abroad, modern large-scale buildings are rarely seen, but more cultural facilities, including museums. "The flow of people there is like when we go to a supermarket, it’s not crowded. I think we also need this. Cultural Construction".

Today, the Chengdu Museum has an average daily passenger flow of tens of thousands.

  Chengdu’s museums have begun to take on a world-class scale, but they dare not relax for a moment.

It is understood that nearly 30 cities across the country have proposed the goal of building a museum city and a museum capital.

To this end, the Chengdu Cultural Relics Bureau is advancing the construction of a museum project (county and county construction of a state-owned central museum), exhibition renewal project, township and village history and community museum construction, and strive to reach more than 320 museums in the city by the end of the "14th Five-Year Plan" period. .

  Ecological aesthetics + design aesthetics have become reasons why different people love to visit museums

  In the post-90s "Rong Piao" Zhang Ruifa's circle of friends, she is also equipped with pictures of Jiugongge: a photo of Jinsha Site Museum with sika deer, punching in the ebony forest; walking under the large nanmu of Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, sitting in the Thatched Cottage and reading... friends leave a message "I didn't expect to be able to shoot a blockbuster in a museum."

  In fact, Chengdu’s museums all have their own unique aesthetics. The overall design of the Jinsha Site Museum follows the architectural style of “a place with a round sky”.

The Chengdu Museum uses a unique geometric façade shape, a copper fold appearance, and a bottom-up "golden-inlaid jade" curtain wall, which reflects a simple and modern style.

  The Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum not only retains the original garden style, but the Huanhuaxi Park outside the museum has also become the first choice for citizens' daily leisure.

The Chengdu Natural History Museum under construction takes the Xiling Snow Mountain as the design concept, which not only brings interesting cultural connotations, but also enjoys design aesthetics, elegant and fashionable.

  After 80s, Yao Qicheng also likes to take a family of three to the museum on weekends.

"Although my daughter is only 4 years old, she is already a loyal fan of the museum." Yao Qicheng said that the Chengdu Museum's "Man and Nature: Beilin Donation Exhibition" is her daughter's favorite place. It comes from different animal specimens from above and below, at home and abroad. Can be seen here.

  And Aunt Zhang, 70, is a regular customer of Chengdu Wuhou Temple Museum. Because she loves calligraphy and the culture of the Three Kingdoms, she not only loves to go shopping, but also loves to take friends with her. "I can also act as a guide for my friends. Tell me about every monument and tree here."

She told reporters that the inscriptions on the "Three Jue Tablets" and "List of Masters" are her favorite calligraphy to copy.
