Have you seen the exhibition of cultural relics about sports?

  The Warring States period bow, the Ming Dynasty Cuju high foot bowl, Liu Changchun's manuscript, the first world championship trophy of the national table tennis, the first World Cup trophy of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the torch of the Beijing Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics...

  From ancient times to modern times, from the founding of New China to the "City of Double Olympics", it seems that people travel through the time tunnel and experience the changes of Chinese civilization.

  Of course, there are more than these historic and landmark artifacts in the exhibition.

  There are also a lot of [really down-to-earth], such as Yao Ming's big shoes, and the Beijing Winter Olympics podium, standing on it as if you are the Winter Olympics champion.

What was the sports life like in ancient times?

  Xiaoxin went to the exhibition in the "Bird's Nest" of the National Stadium, titled "Brilliant • Chasing Dreams - Chinese Sports Culture Exhibition on the Road to Double Olympics".

  It is not only a feast for the eyes, but also a great shock to swim in the more than 400 sports cultural relics.

  Especially in some of the ancient exhibition halls, after reading it, you will feel a sense of knowledge, and you have to feel the wisdom of the ancients from the bottom of your heart.

  The entire ancient exhibition area is dominated by gray tones, giving people a deep and heavy feeling, which is also in line with the profound Chinese civilization.

Chinese culture has five thousand years of history, and sports civilization is also rooted in it.

  Entering the exhibition area, the bronze mirror with hunting pattern in Tang Dynasty is the first thing that catches your eye, which vividly shows the scene of people hunting on horseback at that time.

  The figurines of ladies playing polo in the Tang Dynasty also clearly reflect the situation when women were engaged in sports at that time, which is somewhat similar to the combination of hockey and horse riding today.

  And the color-colored travel map scrolls with many appreciation seals such as Qianlong's "Treasure of Qianlong Yu Lan" in the Qing Dynasty show more abundant sports scenes, not only horse riding scenes, but also dragon boat races at the other end of the scroll. .

The details of the people on the shore watching the race on horses are also very lively and interesting.

  Just looking at these little details can take you a while.

  What impressed Xiaoxin more was a general bow from the Qing Dynasty. Compared with the bow and crossbow used by Zhang Juanjuan, the archery champion of the Beijing Olympic Games next to him, it showed the changes of the times and the progress of technology.

How big are Yao Ming's shoes?

  After browsing the ancient exhibition area, I entered the second exhibition area.

From the perspective of time, the sports cultural relics in this exhibition area are relatively close to everyone. Most of them are collections after the founding of modern and new China, and there are also many familiar sports figures and events.

  For example, the manuscript of Liu Changchun, the first person in the Chinese Olympic Games, recalled the scene of participating in the Olympic Games at that time.

  There are also the trophy that the Chinese team won the World Table Tennis Championships men's team championship for the first time, and the 1981 World Cup championship trophy for the Chinese women's volleyball team. testimony.

  Huang Jin, deputy director of the China Sports Museum, revealed that Wei Qiuyue, the Chinese women's ranking leader, was deeply touched after seeing the glory of her predecessors and decided to donate her gold medal from the Rio Olympics to the China Sports Museum for free.

Many of the collections in the museum are inseparable from the support and dedication of Chinese sports people for sports and cultural undertakings.

  In addition, the Nagano Olympic silver medal donated by Li Jiajun and the 1992 Barcelona Olympic silver medal donated by the Chinese women's basketball legend Li Xin are also displayed in this exhibition area.

  This exhibition area impressed Xiaoxin deeply, as well as Yao Ming's big shoes.

In reality, it's still far beyond imagination...

  Another shooting angle to experience...

It's like going back to the Beijing Winter Olympics

  The last part of the exhibition goes into the theme of the Winter Olympics.

This exhibition area displays the medals and torches of the previous Winter Olympics, as if traveling through the time tunnel of the Olympic Games.

  There are also many elements from the Beijing Winter Olympics at the beginning of the year in the exhibition area, such as Bing Dun Dun, Jin Rong Rong, award bouquets, signed clothing of 11 Olympic champions, and doping test bottles that most people have never seen before...

  After reading these, I also have a feeling of traveling back to the Beijing Winter Olympics at the beginning of the year.

  Of course, from the experience, the most impressive thing is the podium used at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The moment you stand on it, you feel like you are the Winter Olympics champion.

  Jin Jin, deputy director of the China Sports Museum, said that the exhibition was also held to allow more people to learn about sports culture through personal experience.

"Sport is not just a stadium, it has historical, artistic and cultural connotations."

  It is understood that "Brilliant • Chasing Dreams - Chinese Sports Culture Exhibition on the Road to Double Olympics" will be open to November 17 at the National Stadium "Bird's Nest".

  Would you like to go to the scene to see such an exhibition of sports cultural relics?
