Scenic spots

Energy Exhibition Hall

Energy resources refer to the natural materials that provide energy for human beings, including coal, oil, natural gas, water energy, etc., as well as solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy, ocean energy, nuclear energy and other new energy. Li Siguang has always attached great importance to China's energy and mineral exploration, especially made great contributions to the exploration and development of oil resources in New China by using the theory of geomechanics

Glacier exhibition hall

Glaciers are the most magnificent landscapes in high latitudes and high altitudes. They are the largest fresh water reservoir on the earth. Nearly 70% of the world's fresh water is stored in glaciers. Not only in modern times, but also in the ancient times of the earth, glaciers frequently appeared. The nearest ancient glacier to us is the Quaternary glacier, which is the general name of glacial activities that occurred many times in most areas in the latest geological age of the earth. Whether there has ever been a Quaternary glacier in China is very important for studying the Quaternary Geology and geomorphology, solving the problems of engineering geology and hydrogeology.

Exhibition hall of Paleontology

Life on earth has a history of 3.8 billion years since its birth. The long history of life evolution, twists and turns, ups and downs, has left us a large number of fossils and attracted the attention and research of countless scientists.

His research, identification methods and classification criteria of fusulinidae fossils have been used up to now, which has opened up a new way for the study of micropaleozoa.

Earthquake exhibition hall

Have you ever experienced an earthquake? Have you ever had the feeling of mountains falling apart and the earth spinning around when you were hit by an earthquake?

According to the ancient and modern clues, human beings have been exploring these mysteries for a long time. Li Siguang, a great geologist, is an outstanding representative in exploring these mysteries. He introduced applied mechanics into geology, explained and studied the laws of crustal structure and crustal movement from the viewpoint of mechanics, and created the world-famous geomechanics and a new situation of geological science.

Introduction to Li Siguang

Li Siguang (October 26, 1889 - April 29, 1971), a Mongolian, was originally named Li Zhongkui. Li Siguang was born on October 26, 1889 in a poor family in Huanggang City, Hubei Province. Li Siguang is a world famous scientist, geologist, educator and social activist. He is one of the founders and main leaders of modern Earth Science and geological work in China. He studied in his father Li zhuohou's private school when he was young. At the age of 14, he bid farewell to his parents and went to Wuchang primary school alone. When filling in the application form, he mistakenly took the name column as the age column and wrote down the word "14". Then he had an idea to change "10" into "Li", followed by the word "Guang". From then on, he became famous as "Li Siguang". After the founding of the people's Republic of China, he served as Dean of Shandong University and head of the Department of Geology and mineral resources.
