Yangguan Museum

Yangguan museum is located in Yangguan, 70 kilometers southwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. It was first built in the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty when he "listed four counties and occupied two passes". It was an important pass for the Han Dynasty to defend against the invasion of the northwest nomads. It was also an important gateway for the Central Plains on the Silk Road to the western regions and Central Asia. In the era when gems came to the East and silk went to the west, it played an important role in the economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the west, so "Yangguan Avenue" was referred to as the bright road of Kangzhuang. This data comes from Baidu map, and the final result is subject to Baidu map data.

Wang Wei, the great poet of Tang Dynasty, wrote a farewell song of Weicheng, which made Yangguan famous all over the world.

Development history

Yangguan has a long history, rich cultural connotation and important geographical location, which has left a unique history and culture for the world for a long time. As an important part of Dunhuang culture, the Great Wall culture of Liangguan (Yangguan and Yumenguan) is concerned by academic circles. In the long history, Yangguan was integrated with Emperor Wu's efforts to expand Xinjiang and move people to border areas, Zhang Qian's mission to the western regions, his expedition to the west of the river, Tianma's expedition to the west, Longyan's great joy, Guangli's expedition to Wan, and his magical use of troops, Xuanzang's passage through this pass, Wang Wei's persuasion to drink, Weicheng's composing music, etc It has rich cultural heritage. However, due to various reasons, Yangguan has not been properly developed and utilized. Therefore, it is the objective need of the development of the times and the important task entrusted to the contemporary Dunhuang people by history to study Yangguan culture, protect its ruins, inherit the ancient culture and build a new culture.

The so-called mountains are called sages, and the border is the best. In recent years, more and more tourists have come to Yangguan. However, due to its single display content and insufficient excavation of cultural connotation, it has affected the interest of tourists, and some tourists even come in the mood and come back in the face of disappointment. The vigorous development of tourism also requires the development of Yangguan cultural resources in order to realize the combination of tourism and culture and meet the internal needs of tourists.

With the rapid development of Liangguan cultural construction and tourism, Yangguan Museum came into being. At the same time of protecting cultural relics and sites, she excavates its value, enriches its connotation, shows the space for people to recall history, provides clues for people to interpret Yangguan, makes the historical clouds recorded in history clear and clear, and enables people to have an overall understanding and recognition of Yangguan culture.

How to build Yangguan museum is a top priority for builders. The core of building Yangguan museum with high starting point, high grade and high standard is to grasp the characteristics of regional culture and express it with new ideas and scientific methods. The basic work of system engineering is to sort out the materials, classify them, position the museum, identify its value and determine its development mode. Secondly, it is necessary to learn from the advanced experience and methods of other brother museums. For this reason, Ji Yongyuan, the sponsor of Yangguan museum project, and the leaders of the party, government and cultural departments successively went to Beijing, Shaanxi, Jiangsu and other places for investigation and research. They improved their understanding and formed development ideas and construction plans. After the scheme was formed, the municipal government invited experts and professors from Beijing and Shaanxi to hold an expert demonstration meeting in our city to review and approve the design scheme. After the scheme was determined, the Yangguan museum was broken on April 21, 2001.

The construction of Yangguan museum is a systematic project with strong cultural and professional characteristics. The fundamental problems are how to show Yangguan culture and how to develop it reasonably. Through careful thinking and design, the builders have determined the following development plans: according to the connotation and characteristics of Liangguan culture, the value and the service objects of the site museum, as well as the new concept of building museums at home and abroad, they have decided to publish Liangguan literature, cultural relic exhibition, sculpture mural means and art forms to display influential figures and historical events; adopt architectural art and environmental art And other comprehensive materialized architectural means and historical and cultural activities to show the frontier culture and interpret the two customs.

Publishing Liangguan literature is the foundation and core part of building Yangguan Museum, that is to collect the research achievements of Yangguan over the years, collect, sort out and collate the lost and related materials, organize experts to study and write new papers, so as to lay a long-term foundation for the protection, research, excavation, inheritance and development of Yangguan. Cultural relics exhibition is the essence of the construction of the Museum of Yang Guan. It collects cultural relics with a new comprehensive display method. It displays two customs of the Great Wall culture and interpretation of the cultural connotation of Silk Road Yang Guan for experts, scholars and tourists.

As an important art form, sculpture mural is a very good means to show culture. Yangguan museum uses sculptures to show historical figures such as Zhang Qian and Wang Wei, murals to show friendly exchanges and legends between the nationalities on the Silk Road, and group sculptures to show the wars between Liangguan and the Silk Road, so as to improve the appreciation of Yangguan museum culture and enhance the visual impact of the audience. In the process of paying homage to the sages and enlightening the mind, Yangguan Museum has been thinking for thousands of years The sages exchanged their feelings in silence, enhanced their patriotism, and enhanced their understanding of Yangguan culture. Architecture is not only the hardware framework of Yangguan Museum, but also an important means to show the style and features of Han and Tang border with the help of architectural art language, and create the military and folk cultural atmosphere of Liangguan.

We have new ideas on how to break through the limitations of traditional museums. Through the organization, tourists can enjoy the ancient Silk Road Customs by taking the ancient chariot and Yangguan road; through the cultural activities of displaying history, such as wearing ancient clothes, riding and archery, dispatching troops, handling customs clearance documents and holding customs clearance ceremony, tourists can enter the historical time and space, and achieve the cultural, ornamental, participatory and stimulating tourism activities In order to let tourists know Yangguan culture, appreciate the desert customs and frontier scenery.

Dunhuang culture is broad and profound, which is universally recognized. To carry out cultural construction in Dunhuang, we must have a high starting point and high quality, otherwise we dare not face future generations, the world and the future. Therefore, the construction of Yangguan Museum has organized a large number of experts, and after a period of collection, investigation and study, observation and study, thinking about creation, inheritance and innovation, it has a difficult, painful and exciting construction process, which is hard to describe.

In the process of construction, we invited Li Zhengyu, Yan Tingliang, Li Bingcheng, Liu Jinbao, chushibin, Wu Xiang, Zhang Defang, Li Bin, Dou Xiafu, Ji Zhongyuan, Wang Yuan, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Youren and other experts of Dunhuang Studies and other disciplines to study Yangguan literature, determine its cultural connotation and extension, publish literature materials, and formulate a long-term plan for the study of Liangguan Great Wall culture.
