Maritime Silk Road

The construction of "Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum" in Yangjiang City is a specific measure to build Guangdong into a cultural province, which is conducive to enriching the connotation of Guangdong's museum cause, improving the situation that there are many comprehensive museums but few specialized museums and the unbalanced development of museum cause in our province, and improving the gold content of Guangdong's cultural construction. The provincial government has repeatedly discussed and studied the excavation of the "nanhai-1" wreck and the construction of Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum. The 160 million yuan special fund for the construction of this project is the largest special fund for the construction of cultural projects in prefecture level cities of Guangdong Province.

After the completion of the museum, with "nanhai-1" as the theme, archaeologists believe that the Song Dynasty sunken ship "nanhai-1" found in Yangjiang sea area is not only in the waterway of "maritime Silk Road", but also its "collection" is extremely rich and valuable, which provides the most reliable model for the study of this period of history. The exploration and excavation of these underwater cultural relics can restore and fill a historical gap closely related to the "maritime Silk Road" in ancient China.

Museum investment

The basic function of Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum is to collect, display and display the unearthed cultural relics and sites of the maritime Silk Road, reflecting the long and splendid maritime civilization of mankind. Located at Shili silver beach, Hailing Island, Yangjiang, the museum is the closest to the site of the "nanhai-1" wreck, which not only brings convenience to the salvage, research and protection of the wreck, but also brings the audience a sense of reality and history. According to historical records, since the Han Dynasty and even earlier, the merchants in the Central Plains and coastal areas of China began to ship porcelain, cloth, silk (and possibly grain) and other goods from the ports of Guangdong and other places to India, and then to Egypt, Rome and other places. This is the famous ancient "maritime Silk Road".

According to the concept, Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum will be built into a modern professional underwater museum with "world-class and Asia first-class" with the starting point of "cultural relics protection, coordination of environment and tourism development", the core of which is cultural relics protection, the principle of paying attention to environmental and ecological protection, and the goal of "storing cultural heritage, implying the idea of the times, and integrating the charm of nature" The museum. The scale of the museum collection is determined to be 30000 pieces. The project construction includes main works and auxiliary works, with a total construction area of 25840 square meters and a total investment of more than 190 million yuan. Among them, the main project includes the main body of the museum, "maritime Silk Road" research center and R & D center, Crystal Palace, water stage, etc., with a construction area of 16550 square meters and a total investment of 159.796 million yuan, which is allocated by the provincial finance; the auxiliary project is entertainment city and commercial street for tourism and entertainment, with a construction area of 9290 square meters and a project investment of 33.481 million yuan, which is solved through market operation.

Museum building structure

The main works of the museum include "Crystal Palace", which is a huge glass jar. Its water quality, temperature and other environment are exactly the same as the sea floor where the "nanhai-1" wreck was located. After the "nanhai-1" wreck was salvaged, it will be moved from the bottom of the sea to the "Crystal Palace" for people to watch and appreciate.

Through the transparent wall of "Crystal Palace", we can see the demonstration performance of underwater archaeologists diving to excavate and salvage cultural relics. The mysterious underwater treasure house is presented to the world bit by bit, and tourists can enjoy it.

This kind of protection and display is unprecedented in the similar theme museums all over the world. At yesterday's press conference, relevant departments said that the Guangdong Maritime Silk Road Museum will be completed and open to tourists by the end of 2007.

Millennium shipwreck

Nanhai-1, a merchant ship of the Song Dynasty, sank to a depth of 20 meters in the sea area of Yangjiang and was covered with 2 meters thick silt. The whole merchant ship is about 30 meters long and 10 meters wide, which is the largest ship found in the Song Dynasty. It was first discovered in 1987, but its research was delayed due to technical and financial problems. At the end of April 2011, the second trial excavation of the ancient sunken ship Nanhai I was completed, which laid the foundation for its overall excavation.

Surprisingly, the hull of this ancient ship, which sank to the bottom of the sea for nearly a thousand years, is quite well preserved. Archaeological experts say that no such a large millennium old ship has been found in the world, and it is unheard of that it can be preserved so well.

The underwater archaeological team once carried out a small-scale trial excavation of nanhai-1 and recovered thousands of gold, silver, copper, iron and porcelain relics, most of which are very rare or even unique. One of these rare treasures, a porcelain bowl of the same kind, was sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the United States!

According to the preliminary identification of cultural relic experts, the shipwreck nanhai-1, located on the ancient maritime Silk Road, the main channel of China's overseas trade in the Tang and Song Dynasties, is an international trade ship. The ship may be from a domestic port to the Middle East. It is estimated that the total number of cultural relics of the ship may reach 60000 to 80000. Experts in the field of cultural relics believe that after the "nanhai-1" is fully salvaged, the number and value of cultural relics of the upper level will be equal to the total number of cultural relics collected in Guangdong Province before! The value and influence of the sunken ship will be no less than that of the terracotta warriors and horses in Xi'an.
