The basic display of "suitable for China - Weinan story" is divided into eight units: natural resources and geographical environment of Weinan; ancient roots - Prehistoric Weinan; pre Qin memory - Weinan in Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties; capital city - Weinan in Qin and Han Dynasties; land of Longxing - Weinan in Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties; national context - Weinan in Sui and Tang Dynasties; national heritage - Weinan in the Sui and Tang Dynasties; Popular style and elegance -- Weinan in song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties; beacon fire in Qindong -- Weinan in modern times. Each unit consists of sub sections. Each unit takes the era as the background, selects famous people, representative events and major achievements as "points", strings "lines" with "points" and constructs "surface" with "lines", highlighting the cultural characteristics of each era.

In Weinan, there are more than 100 skulls of "Dali people" and sites of "Shayuan culture", "Yangshao culture" and "Longshan culture" in the new era. The Wei Dynasty Great Wall site is one of the oldest great walls in China. The sites of Laoguantai and yuanjunmiao quanhucun in Huaxian county also occupy an important position in the history of Chinese archaeology.

The ancient buildings in Weinan are particularly prominent in the whole province. Xiyue temple is the largest ancient architectural complex in Shaanxi Province, and also the largest temple in the area of Wuyue temple. Hancheng, a famous historical and cultural city in China, is the most densely populated area of ancient buildings in the province. The number of single Yuan Dynasty buildings in Hancheng ranks first in the province, and also occupies an important position in the country. Dangjia Village is the first batch of "famous historical and cultural villages in China" announced by the State Council, which is praised as "treasure of folk houses" by experts at home and abroad. Hancheng Confucian temple is the best preserved Confucian temple in the province. Dali Fengtu granary has the reputation of "the first granary in the world" and is still in use today.

There are many mausoleums of emperors and generals in Weinan. A total of 13 mausoleums were found. Among them, there are 9 mausoleums of the Tang Emperors, and the cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty unearthed from the mausoleums of the Tang Emperors and their accompanying tombs are large in quantity and high in grade, showing the magnificent style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. A large number of bronze ritual vessels, bronze chariots and horses, jade, agate, pottery and gold vessels were unearthed from the liangdai village cemetery site in Hancheng. The gold and silver relic pagodas unearthed from Baishui are very precious. The important discovery of liangdai village in Hancheng is one of the ten major archaeological discoveries in 2005.

There are many celebrities in Weinan. There were six emperors, 80 prime ministers and more than 300 generals in history. Cangjie, the ancestor of Chinese characters, Simaqian, the sage of history, Dukang, the sage of wine, Wang Jian, the general of Qin Dynasty, Yang Zhen, the master of guanxi, Yang Jian, the emperor of Sui Dynasty, Guo Ziyi, the famous general of Tang Dynasty, Bai Juyi, the great realistic poet, Kou Zhun, the famous Prime Minister of Qing Dynasty, Wang Ding, the leader of the party and state, Xi Zhongxun, the patriotic general Yang Hucheng, the political activist Qu Wu, and Li Yizhi, the water conservancy expert And so on, there are traces left in Weinan. Weinan is also one of the areas where modern revolutionaries moved earlier. Weihua uprising started the combination of armed uprising and peasant movement. It established the Soviet regime for the first time in Northwest China. It accumulated experience for the later armed struggle and trained a large number of cadres. Liu Zhidan, Wang Shangde, pan Zili and others were the representatives.

Weinan has a large number of cultural relics, high grade and distinctive features. In Eastern Han Dynasty, caoquan stele, Huashan Temple stele in Xiyue, Cangjie Temple stele, Guangwu general stele in pre Qin Dynasty, Yunhui general stele in Tang Dynasty, Sanzang holy religion preface stele in Tang Dynasty, Wang huaiye tombstone in Ming Dynasty, Linzexu qiangkejie stone carving in Qing Dynasty, and Yu Youren book high mountains and long rivers are all famous at home and abroad for their high historical value and artistic value. The "lifeI Guangtong statue stele" in the Western Wei Dynasty, the "simian statue stele" in the fifth year of Datong, the "simian statue stele" in the fourth year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, the relic stone pagoda in the first year of Qianxing in the Northern Song Dynasty, the tuoluojing building in the third year of Dahe in the Tang Dynasty, and the relic stone letters and stone pagodas in the Song Dynasty are valuable materials for the study of religious history. There are many excellent works in the pottery collection. The chicken shaped pottery pot and Eagle Statue unearthed from the quanhucun site in Huaxian County, and the Han Dynasty weasel pattern pottery trousseau collected in Fuping are rare in our province. Among the porcelain collections, the products of Yaozhou Kiln are the best. Yaozhou Kiln products collected in our city are abundant and well preserved because Yaoxian once belonged to Weinan. In the Five Dynasties period, Yao kilns were mostly famous kiln products, such as five fold flower mouth bowls, moon white glazed jade pots and spring bottles in Song Dynasty, and imitation Jian kiln oil drop glazed bowls. Weinan has a large collection of Ming and Qing Dynasty celebrities' calligraphy and paintings, such as Dong Qichang's "Songxi painting" and "Luyan painting" of Ming Dynasty, and the border Shoumin's "Luyan painting" of Qing Dynasty.

After thousands of years of life accumulation and art inheritance, Weinan has many intangible cultural heritages with a long history and mature art. Weinan's intangible cultural heritage mainly includes 13 kinds of local operas, including folk social fire which integrates music, song and dance, juggling and all kinds of operas, especially 23 kinds of performance dance, accounting for nearly half of the "dance dance" in the whole province. With the progress of society and the prosperity of culture, the excavation and protection of intangible cultural heritage has become the focus of attention of all sectors of society, and the promotion and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage has also been put on the agenda of governments from all walks of life. In 2006, five folk arts in Weinan were listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage protection list. These five folk arts are the most representative works of historical and cultural value handed down by Weinan for thousands of years. These folk arts with the most folk characteristics are not only treasures of Shaanxi, but also the pride of Shaanxi people. In the past, due to the influence of Sanmenxia reservoir area, Weinan was a big agricultural city with weak industry, insufficient financial resources, short time of land reform, serious lag of urban construction and unsound urban functions. As the third largest cultural relic city in the province, there is no Municipal Museum. Because there is no museum, some precious cultural relics can only be stored in the county-level cultural relics storehouse with very poor conditions. Weinan people and foreign guests can not find the roots of Weinan people and the spiritual home of Weinan people. Because there is no museum as a platform, the research and development team of Weinan cultural relics protection can not be trained, and the cultural relics resources can not play their due benefits. After the completion of Weinan Museum, it can not only meet the spiritual and cultural needs of the citizens, but also be conducive to the integration and deep excavation of cultural relics resources in Weinan, improve the cultural quality of the whole citizens, promote the development of cultural industry in Weinan, promote the investment attraction in Weinan, promote the urban construction of Weinan, enhance the taste of Weinan, and boost the spiritual outlook of Weinan people.
