Map of Shandong

There is a map of Shandong in the museum. Shandong looks like an eagle, and the glory lies in the beak. Rongcheng, facing the sea, has a coastline of 491.9 kilometers, accounting for 5 ‰ of the country's coastline. Fishery production has a long history. In the county annals compiled in the 20th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1840), there are the following records about coastal fishing: "the sea people are the most prosperous, although they are old fishermen, they can't know all about it." In the early years of the Republic of China, fishing industry occupied an important position in Shandong.

Wood and stone anchor

Before the appearance of the iron anchor, ships were anchored with this kind of anchor. Because its wood part is perishable, most of them are stone parts now. The stone anchor you see now was salvaged by fishermen off Shidao in October 2002. At present, only three pieces have been found in China. The other two pieces are in Quanzhou, Fujian Province and Changdao, Shandong Province. We can see the value of this wood and stone anchor.

Fish hunting stone

Rongcheng was inhabited by human beings in the late Neolithic age. They made a living by fishing and hunting. They used these polished stone tools to catch fish in shallow water and created human civilization. In the 1970s and 1980s, Jiaodong Peninsula cultural relics such as Hekou site, Renhe site and Sanzhong (Zheng) Po were discovered in the territory.

Fish pictures

Shidao fishing ground is one of the five major fishing grounds in China. There are more than 100 kinds of common economic fish and shrimps. These are the fish in Shidao fishing ground. Some of you have seen them, and some of you have tasted their delicacies. Now I'll take you to meet. Explain the knowledge of each fish.

All kinds of documents and materials

These documents in the display cabinet are the contract of selling the ship, the document of repairing the ship, the permit of transportation of fishing salt, the bill of cash for the cargo ship, the invoice of the fishing bank, etc. these items are commonly used in the production and life of fishermen in the past dynasties, the compass used in navigation in the Qing Dynasty, and the private seal of the fishing bank in the Republic of China.

Bone needle

In the first lesson of compulsory education curriculum standard experimental textbook Chinese history (seventh grade volume I) of people's education press, there is an illustration about the bone needle of the cave man at the top of the mountain. The text only mentions that "the cave man at the top of the mountain has used the bone needle to sew clothes and knows how to love beauty", but there is no more introduction about the bone needle.

In fact, about 18000 years ago, the early humans living in the cave at the top of Longgu mountain in Zhoukoudian, Beijing, are called peak cave people. They still use stone tools, but they have begun to master grinding and drilling techniques.

A 82 mm long bone needle with a needle eye at one end was found in the site. This is the earliest sewing tool found in the world today. It shows that people at that time could sew clothes with animal skins and weave fishing nets and other things. " As one of the places of early human activities, Rongcheng area has also found such a bone needle.

Shell coin

Before bronze coins appeared, shells in the sea were the oldest coins ever used by our ancestors. Shell became the original form of currency in the Xia Dynasty, with "friend" as the unit of calculation, five in a string and two in a string. Shellfish are produced in the sea and are not good at circulation, so they are replaced by imitations, such as mussels, bone shells, pottery shells, stone shells, etc. After the Qin Dynasty unified the whole country, the original currencies such as coin casting and shell coins were abolished.

Fishing: during the voyage, the experienced ship throws the fishing water into the water with a long and thin rope, and determines the position of the ship according to the water depth, the attached sediment, and the salt content of the water with the tip of the tongue. With the development of fishery, all kinds of shipwrecks appear relatively. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Rescue Bureau was set up, which is now the Rescue Bureau. The alternate county magistrate was responsible for it.

Che Shuxue rescues the shipwreck

This picture on the wall shows Dong (village head) Che Shuxue of haixitou village in Rongcheng County, who was commended by the authorities for rescuing shipwrecked ships in 1905. At that time, a merchant ship in Fuzhou ran aground in the northern waters of the village. Che Shuxue and others helped to save the crew, settled down, and organized people to repair the ship. After the ship owner returned, he wrote to the colonial government. Because at that time, the British forced to rent Weihaiwei, Rongcheng also belonged to the concession. The governor of British Weihaiwei attached great importance to it, and specially made a sandalwood in Hong Kong Plaque, in person to haixitou village awarded to Che Shuxue.

Whale bone

Although the whale has the word "fish", it is not a fish, but a mammal. It has many characteristics that are very different from fish. For example, most fish move their body forward by swinging their tail fins from left to right, while whales move forward by swinging their tail fins from top to bottom.

They use the flippers at the front to keep balance and control the direction of force. Some whales also have vertical fins at the upper back! Whales are swarm animals. They usually live in groups in the sea. When breathing, they use the blowhole on their head to breathe, and control the force to move the caudal fin.

Whales use the blowhole on their heads to breathe. When they exhale, the moisture in the air condenses and forms the familiar fountain shape. Fishermen can even identify whale species from the height, width and angle of the water spray. There are many kinds of whales, which are roughly divided into toothed whales and baleen whales. Here are the ribs and vertebrae of the whale. This is the skull of the baleen whale.

Pottery pot in Song Dynasty

It shows the shipping industry in Rongcheng. Since ancient times, shipping has flourished in Rongcheng, and private trade has flourished. Shidao Port connects Liaoning and Tianjin in the north, Fujian and Guangdong in the south, and Korea and Japan in the East. Shidao Port was officially established in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, strengthening communication with other parts of the world. These exhibits are pottery pots from the Song Dynasty. Because of the shipwreck, they sank to the bottom of the sea and are covered with shells. It can be seen that they are old. In recent years, it was dragged up from the bottom of the sea by fishermen with fishing nets.

Goddess of the sea

The goddess of the sea is widely believed in the southeast coast of China and Southeast Asia. There are countless Tin Hau palaces dedicated to Mazu, the sea god, along the southeast coast and Southeast Asia. This extremely precious shrine is dedicated to the goddess of the sea.

The goddess of the sea is the patron saint of the marine production operators and the most worshipped God among the coastal folk. People at the seaside are very devout to her and regard her as the protector of the sea. Weihai people affectionately call her Niang Niang. Niangniang, surnamed Lin, is a descendant of Bigan. She was born on March 27, the first year of Jianlong in Song Dynasty. She was born in Xianliang, Putian, Fujian Province. She was the sixth daughter of Lin Xi, an inspection envoy of Quanzhou in Five Dynasties. After she was born, her parents gave her a name, Linmo. At the age of seven, he studies books, at the age of ten, he likes to sit in a quiet room, and at the age of fifteen, he understands Taoism.

One autumn, father and brother went out on a boat. There was a lot of wind and waves. Linmo was weaving. He seemed to be asleep. His face changed greatly, and his shuttle was in the air. Her mother thought she was sleeping during the day. She patted her on the shoulder, and her shuttle fell to the ground. She woke up and said to her mother sadly, "Oh, my father is OK, but my brother fell into the water and drowned." Sure enough, her mother was surprised when her father went home to tell her about the rescue.

From then on, she often went to sea to save people, and rose to the top at the age of 28. In memory of her, people built a temple for sacrifice, known as "Mazu". People at the seaside are very devout to her and regard her as the God of sea protection. There are tianhougong, commonly known as the sea god Niangniang Temple, built all over the coast. Most of the former and latter halls, or the former hall and the latter building, are located in Tianhou palace. For example, Shidao Tianhou palace is the front hall and the back building. The front hall is the place of sacrifice, and the back hall is the bed
