Long Teng Zhong Wu

Changzhou in ancient times was once a desolate and uninhabited water country. It was the people of Changzhou who used their hard work and wisdom to develop it into a rich and beautiful land of fish and rice, and turned it into an ideal home for people to have plenty of food and clothing. At the same time, along with the prosperity of culture, there are a large number of talents, such as Ji Zha, Xiao Tong, Tang Jingchuan, Zhao Yi, Sheng Xuanhuai, Qu Qiubai, and so on. Yanling, piling, Jinling and Lanling are the names of Changzhou in different historical periods. Longcheng is another name for Changzhou, which is derived from liulongcheng in the Six Dynasties of Xiao Liang. The soaring dragon is the best symbol of Changzhou's historical development and social progress.

As a basic display reflecting the history and culture of Changzhou, 1288 precious cultural relics are used to present the rich and colorful history of Changzhou to the audience accurately and completely with modern design concept and display means. The exhibition is divided into five sections: Prehistoric Changzhou, Yanling Jizi, Qiliang hometown, Zhongwu Yaofu and Rufeng Weiran

1、 Weidun site is an important Neolithic cultural site in Changzhou during Majiabang culture period. Sidun site is an important settlement in Liangzhu culture period, which is second only to Liangzhu site.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty set up the Qiaojun Lanling Jun in Changzhou. The Xiao family in Lanling established the Qi Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty, and a group of outstanding scholars such as Xiao Tong and Xiao Ziliang appeared.

The location advantage of Changzhou canal makes it occupy a special important position in canal water transportation. With the development of agricultural economy, Changzhou has become an important grain producing area in China, and is responsible for the heavy task of grain collection.

6、 Furong lake used to be the water area in the east of the Yangtze River next only to Taihu Lake. After building weirs to encircle farmland, it became a vast Yutian furongwei in the Ming Dynasty when Zhou Chen and Ouyang Dongfeng lived there. On the one hand, it promoted the development of traditional agricultural economy in Changzhou, but at the same time, it also changed the local natural ecology and weakened the water storage capacity.

Children's natural display

Changzhou children's nature museum was established in December 1995, which is the only children's nature museum in Jiangsu Province. There are more than 2000 species and 4000 pieces of natural collections, including 103 species and 158 pieces of wild animals and plants under the first and second level national protection. "Magical natural and beautiful home" is a large-scale natural science exhibition of Changzhou Museum, which is also a special highlight of the museum to attract children's audience. The exhibition hall covers an area of more than 1000 square meters, displaying 421 kinds of specimens and 645 pieces. The exhibition content is mainly divided into four parts: "the story of the evolution of life on earth", "complex and diverse beautiful nature", "all kinds of animal world", "beautiful and colorful hometown earth". Through humanized design and modern display means, all kinds of static specimens are perfectly integrated with their living environment. The whole exhibition hall is full of vitality and interest. In order to increase children's interest in learning and exploring, the exhibition also set up a number of interactive projects.

The entrance to the exhibition hall is a small hall. The subtlety of the foyer lies at the top of the foyer. Hemispherical celestial bodies are suspended on the dome like roof. The special light makes it "Twinkle", which means that the earth we live on is not alone in the vast universe.

The foyer is followed by the "time tunnel" to deduce the difficult and tortuous evolution of life on earth. On one side of the tunnel, representative fossil specimens of different geological periods are displayed in the form of niches, such as trilobites, dinosaur eggs, Confucius birds, etc.

Out of the tunnel of time and space, we will enter the "complex and diverse beautiful nature". A variety of interesting wild animals are combined in an orderly way, coupled with high-tech video and audio noise, a complex and dynamic natural picture is presented to the audience.

"Animal world of all kinds" introduces many wild animals at home and abroad in unit form. For example, "insect world" mainly uses traditional methods to display a large number of rare insect specimens in the world. At the same time, it uses modern means such as electric models and computer virtual technology to demonstrate the activities of insects and the abnormal development of butterflies, so that the audience can have a real feeling of the colorful insect world. "Mammal" displays all kinds of mammal specimens in the form of open scenes. In order to highlight the natural form of these specimens, the landscape is mainly made of abstract concept trees, which are concise and lively. "Bird kingdom" mainly displays beautiful mountain rare birds. In front of the light ink painting background, there are flowers and plants, trees and many kinds of rare birds.

Through the interactive area, the audience will enter another unit of the exhibition - "beautiful homeland", which covers: marine life, tidal flats and wetlands
