introduce

China Records Museum is located in huangrongyuan hall, 32 Fujian Road, Gulangyu. Huang Rongyuan hall was built in 1920. It was the villa of Shi Guangcong, an overseas Chinese from the Philippines. It was bought by Huang Zhongxun, an overseas Chinese from Vietnam, in 1931. Huang Zhongxun moved his real estate company "Huang rongyuantang" office headquarters from No. 74 Quanzhou road to here.

The whole courtyard covers an area of more than 3000 square meters, and the main building area is 1200 square meters. The architectural style is a model of the combination of western, Nanyang, Chinese classical and modern styles, which can be regarded as a classic work of spring and snow.

In the early days of the founding of new China, Huang Rongyuan hall used to be the gathering and performing theater of "Gulangyu South Music Club", which lasted for several years. Later, it became the seat of Gulangyu branch of Xiamen Christian young women. At that time, under the leadership of Yan Baoling, the "Gulangyu Nightingale", it held record appreciation meetings every week, with a strong musical temperament. He has also shot "singing in the middle of the night" and many other film and television works. After half a century, Huang rongyuantang has become the site of China Records Museum, which seems to confirm the indissoluble bond between the building and music.

China Records Museum will display the 100 year history of Chinese records, from the evolution of record technology to the development of record content, and comprehensively and stereoscopically display the historical achievements of Chinese records.

The museum provides auditions of precious old records, such as the original recording of "Mary has a lamb" by Edison, the inventor of phonograph, the only remaining speech record of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the pioneer of revolution, the only album "four five flower holes" jointly recorded by the four great celebrities in history, and the recording master of "March of the volunteers" first edition by the Oriental hundred generations in 1935 And different versions of March of the volunteers in different periods, countries and regions are available for audition. The collection includes the chime bells of Marquis Yi of Zeng in the Warring States period, the first Nanyin record of Xiamen Yuqian Qingqu, the first big MiWen record, the first medium MiWen record, the first tape, CD and other precious records of different periods. In addition to the audition and exhibition of the records, the China Records Museum also has a collection of all kinds of old record players and paper documents, as well as the personal letters, royalty lists, creative manuscripts and other precious cultural relics of celebrities of the Republic of China, such as Mei Lanfang, Ma Lianliang, Hu die, Zhao Yuanren, Li Jinhui, etc.
