Historical evolution

Background of the Museum

Changchun is the cradle of modern optics in China. It has the first Institute of Optics and mechanics in China, Changchun Institute of Optics and mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Changchun University of science and Technology (formerly Changchun Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics), the only university in China aiming at cultivating optical talents. Nowadays, almost all optical research institutions in China were once branches of Changchun Institute of Optics and precision machinery or were aided by it.

Changchun's systematic scientific research in the field of optics began with the institutions of higher learning and research institutes founded by the Japanese in the puppet Manchukuo. After liberation, Wang Daheng and others received it in the name of establishing an instrument Museum, and collected and managed a large number of scientific researchers in the puppet Manchukuo period. In 1957, it was officially changed into the Institute of optical instruments, which was the predecessor of Changchun Institute of Optics and precision machinery.

In the decades after the founding of the people's Republic of China, Changchun Institute of Optics and machinery has divided or aided the construction of scientific research institutes such as Xi'an Institute of Optics and machinery, Shanghai Institute of Optics and machinery, Suzhou Institute of medical engineering, etc. In this process, the managers of Changchun Institute of Optics and machinery headed by Academician Wang Daheng have made great efforts for the development of China's optical industry.

It can be said that the history of optical research in Changchun is half of the history of optical research in the people's Republic of China. Because of this, China Optical Technology Museum is finally located in Changchun.

Building process

On August 29, 2007, academicians Wang Daheng, Ding Henggao, Zhou Bingkun and Mu Guoguang wrote to Premier Wen Jiabao and put forward "suggestions on the establishment of China Optical Science and Technology Museum". On September 2, he received Premier Wen's instructions.

On March 14, 2008, according to the instructions of Premier Wen, the national development and Reform Commission replied to the letter about the construction of Optical Science and Technology Museum by Wang Daheng and other four academicians, affirming the positive role of Optical Science and Technology Museum in "spreading Optical Science and technology knowledge, improving public scientific and cultural quality, and driving the development of optoelectronic industry", and agreed in principle to build China Optical Science and Technology Museum.

On July 31, 2009, after fierce competition among Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei, Jilin and Sichuan provinces, the general office of the national development and Reform Commission issued a "reply on the construction of China Optical Science and Technology Museum" to the Jilin Provincial Development and Reform Commission, agreeing in principle to build China Optical Science and Technology Museum on the basis of Jilin Provincial Science and technology culture center. On November 9, the provincial demonstration meeting for the construction plan of China Optical Science and Technology Museum was held in Changchun University of technology. On November 13, the Changchun Municipal People's government issued the letter on Entrusting Changchun University of technology to be responsible for the preparation of China Optical Science and Technology Museum, which fully entrusts Changchun University of technology to be responsible for the preparation of China Optical Science and Technology Museum.

On December 7, 2009, the demonstration meeting for the construction scheme of China Optical Science and Technology Museum was held in Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing, at which the construction scheme of China Optical Science and Technology Museum was approved.

On March 1, 2011, Jilin provincial organization committee issued the notice on the establishment of China Optical Science and Technology Museum (Preparatory Office), which specified that China Optical Science and Technology Museum is a public institution directly under the provincial government and entrusted by the provincial government to Changchun University of technology.

On March 16, 2011, the general office of the State Council issued the reply on the naming of the National Optical Science and Technology Museum under construction. The name of the National Optical Science and Technology Museum under construction in Changchun City, Jilin Province, can be designated as "Changchun China Optical Science and Technology Museum".

On April 5, 2012, the construction commencement ceremony of Changchun China Optical Science and Technology Museum was held in Jilin Science and technology culture center, and the construction project of Changchun China Optical Science and Technology Museum was officially launched.

In May 2015, Changchun China Optical Science and Technology Museum project completed the exhibition construction and gradually opened the exhibition hall for trial operation.

On February 26, 2017, Changchun China Optical Science and Technology Museum passed the project acceptance of the national development and Reform Commission and was officially open to the public.

Adhering to the will

Since December 2007, Wang Daheng has said many times: "China Optical Science and Technology Museum, no matter where it is built, is the optical science and Technology Museum of the whole Chinese people. It is hoped that the entire optical community will unite and make concerted efforts to build and operate the China Optical Science and Technology Museum well and give full play to its due role.

As the only national optical science and Technology Museum in China, it fully embodies Wang Lao's wish. With the theme of "the light of science and technology, leading the future", it integrates the display function of Optical Science and technology and popular science, the storage and research function of Optical Science and technology information, and the information exchange function of Optical Science and technology. It helps young people and social groups to acquire knowledge and cultivate interest in scientific exploration and innovation, It will become the most important optical science popularization education center, the most important exhibition center of Optical Science and technology history, the important exhibition base of Optical Science and technology achievements and the important base of Optical Science and technology information exchange.

Mr. Wang Daheng died in 2011, and building the optical Museum has become one of his last wishes. February 26, 2017 is the 102nd anniversary of the birth of Mr. Li. On this day, the optical museum is officially opened to the public to comfort Mr. Li.
