Collection

Cultural relics exhibition

The first floor and the second floor are Pingdingshan cultural relics exhibition area with Yingcheng culture and history as the background. They are divided into four exhibition halls, namely, No.1 exhibition hall in the south of the first floor, the original exhibition hall at the foot of the mountain, No.2 exhibition hall in the north, Yingguo impression Exhibition hall, No.3 exhibition hall in the north of the second floor, Chu Han civilization exhibition hall, and No.4 exhibition hall in the south, Tang Song legacy exhibition hall.

In the original exhibition hall at the foot of the mountain, Pingdingshan's historical plates, stone cores, stone grinding plates, stone grinding sticks, stone sickles and other objects tell us that our ancestors lived in this land about one million years ago. In the long history, we have left rich relics and relics, showing the glorious creation of our ancestors. The discovery of Zhangwan Paleolithic site in Ruzhou and the continuous development of Peiligang culture, Yangshao culture and Longshan Culture in the Neolithic age made the Chinese civilization continuously gestate in this hot land. Finally, the germination of civilization broke out and the first dynasty Xia in Chinese history was born. This also constitutes the context and basic connotation of the development of prehistoric culture in Pingdingshan.

Walking through the original exhibition hall at the foot of the mountain, you can see the Yingguo impression exhibition hall on the north side of the first floor, experience the legend of ancient Yingguo civilization, and understand why Pingdingshan is also called "Eagle City". This hall is especially worth seeing. It shows jade eagle, the treasure of the town hall. This is an eagle shaped jade pendant unearthed from tomb No. 1 of Yingguo cemetery in 1986. It is carved from Xinjiang's top Hetian jade. The jade is bluish white, warm and transparent. The jade eagle is flying like a whole. Its two claws are curled under the body. Its head is twisted to the right side. Its sharp beak and right wing form a perforation. It can be worn with a tether. Its shape is vivid, interesting and lifelike. The excavation of Yuying reveals that the ancestors of Yingguo were a clan with birds as totem. In ancient Chinese characters, the word "Ying" and the word "Ying" are the same, so Pingdingshan is also called "Yingcheng".

Entering Hall 3 on the north side of the second floor is the exhibition hall of Chu Han civilization. Since the early spring and Autumn period, the state of Chu has developed from the land of Jianghan and embarked on the road to the prosperity of the Central Plains. In the exhibition hall, whether it is the old city of father city or yeyi City, or the stories of historical celebrities such as Confucius, Yegong and Mozi that are being told by multimedia, or the exquisite cultural relics such as hanging scales on the waist, rising tripod, sitting bronze man and chime bells, and the textual research archaeological historical materials, all can reflect the brilliant glory of this period of history.

Entering the exhibition hall of Tang and Song dynasties in hall 4, you can feel a cool feeling. This is the "holy land" of famous kilns and porcelain. By 2012, more than 100 kilns have been found in the city in Tang, song, Jin and Yuan Dynasties, among which duandian kiln in Lushan, RuGuan kiln in Baofeng Qingliang temple and Zhanggongxiang kiln in Ruzhou are typical examples. Here, you can have a feast on your eyes.

Urban Planning Exhibition

Seven thousand years ago, when Peiligang lit the first fire, the fertile land of Pingdingshan began to breed the seeds of civilization. In the long history of ancient Yingguo, after going through the ups and downs and magnificent years, this ancient Yingguo was sealed at the bottom of Pingxi lake, which was peaceful after all.

Through the tunnel of time and space. Today, a new city, Pingdingshan, is rising along the Pingxi lake. To understand this homeland, to love our hometown, to build our homeland, to review yesterday's history, to know today's achievements, and to understand Pingdingshan's future planning, to feel its accumulation and development, the third and fourth floors of Pingdingshan museum are "ecological Eagle City, harmonious home" - Pingdingshan Urban Planning Exhibition hall.

The third floor is composed of five exhibition areas: impression Pingdingshan, memory Pingdingshan, brilliant Pingdingshan, planning Pingdingshan and development Pingdingshan. The fourth floor is composed of two exhibition areas: Interpretation Pingdingshan and harmonious Pingdingshan. The exhibition hall adopts a large number of high-tech means to integrate modern acousto-optic technologies such as digital sand table, 3D cinema and VR self driving into a number of exhibition links. It is a professional planning exhibition hall integrating planning exhibition, popular science education, characteristic tourism and other functions.

The third floor displays Pingdingshan's long history and culture, beautiful internal and external eight sceneries, coal development history, ancient architectural sites, old buildings This paper describes the achievements and brilliance of Pingdingshan, and also introduces and displays the point axis spatial pattern of "one core, three groups and three bathrooms" actively constructed by Pingdingshan, the planning of Zhanhe and Shahe, and the planning model of new urban area.

Function value

The establishment of Pingdingshan Museum has epoch-making significance and more extraordinary historical significance. Pingdingshan Museum covers cultural relics exhibition hall and urban planning hall, which is also unique.

Through the dialogue between cultural relics and history, people overlook the ups and downs of history, and accept the edification and baptism of culture and civilization through the display, exhibition and publicity of collections. It is the yearning of the soul, the pursuit of wisdom, a quiet and pious place, a filter of impetuosity and frivolity, a storeroom of cultural knowledge, and a spiritual temple of materialization. The completion of Pingdingshan museum not only provides a cultural and leisure place for the citizens, but also becomes a cultural tutorial place for people.

It is worth mentioning that the urban planning exhibition hall is not only conducive for citizens to visit and understand the development and changes of the city and its future planning, but also to introduce Pingdingshan's urban planning and construction to the guests, so as to establish a good image of Pingdingshan's opening to the outside world. It is an inevitable requirement of urban construction and development to let citizens understand urban planning and enhance their urban identity. At the same time, the urban planning exhibition hall will also become an important window for Pingdingshan to strengthen foreign exchanges and promote mutual understanding and communication.
