Zhenghe County Museum

Zhenghe County Museum

Zhenghe County Museum was established in April 2000 with 3 staff. It was originally located on the 3rd floor of the county library. In September 2003, it was relocated to the 5th floor of the culture and sports building, with a total area of 338.78 square meters, exhibition hall of 165.4 square meters, storeroom of 28.7 square meters, reference room of 28.7 square meters, office and duty room of 50.4 square meters, and the rest are corridors and toilets. After the relocation of Zhenghe County Museum, due to the county's financial difficulties, the museum lacks funds, and the exhibition hall has no exhibition cabinet and security facilities, so the exhibits can not be displayed. At present, there are two in-service staff and one retired. They are responsible for the protection of the cultural relics in our library and the immovable cultural relics in the field of the whole county, the field archaeological investigation, the handling of emergencies and the filing of the cultural relics in our library.

Development history

Recently, a rare "Yin city" was found in a cliff to the west of Fozi in Zhenghe County, a provincial scenic spot in Fujian Province. In a group of caves, there are more than 1000 gold poppies (earthenware pots) containing human remains.

Su Quande, the curator of Zhenghe County Museum, said that the second burial is to re bury the remains of the dead in the ground three or five years or more after they have died. This is to wait until the body's soft tissue is completely decomposed and decomposed, then open the coffin and pick up the bones, wash it with Baijiu, then press the human body structure, feet under the head, on the top, and into the pottery poppy (cans, commonly known as "golden poppy"), and write the name of the deceased in the cover. The families with conditions choose to bury the golden poppy to build their graves, while the families without conditions place the golden poppy in a safe cave or dig a small niche on the ridge to wait for the time to build another tomb to build Fengshui. In some rural areas, there are collective "Yin cities" for people to put in. The prerequisite of "Yin cities" is good feng shui and dry.

The burial site is usually quite casual, either on the edge of the field or on the barren slope of Maoshan mountain. It doesn't pay attention to "geomantic omen". However, it is still necessary to ask a "geographer (Mr. geomantic omen)" to determine the "direction of the tomb" and the burial time. Apart from the importance of funeral, burial is very simple. Second burial cemeteries are very particular about "Feng Shui". The "Feng Shui" of cemeteries is usually searched by "geographer" or confirmed by "geographer" after finding it. It is generally believed that the "geomantic omen" of the cemetery will bring good luck to future generations, otherwise it will be bad luck.

If you can't find a suitable cemetery for a while, you should bury the "golden poppy" in a temporary selected place. Generally, you should look for sunny and dry earth slopes to cut cliffs and dig an arched cave that can hold the "golden poppy". However, the burial time should not be too long, usually one year, up to three years. Of course, there are cases of long-term burial due to economic problems or other reasons.
