Introduction to Library

Founded in 2000, Beijing tap water museum is located in Qingshuiyuan community, Dongzhimen North Street. There are three exhibition halls in the exhibition hall, the first part is hard work and hard governance; the second part is clear spring and learning from the past and the present; the third part is the vigorous development after the reform and opening up. Beijing tap water museum is affiliated to Beijing tap water group. It is the first museum built by self financing enterprises in Beijing. It is "Beijing Youth Science Popularization Education Base" and "Beijing Youth water saving publicity and education base"

. The museum is located in Dongzhimen waterworks, the first Waterworks in the history of Beijing. The main building of the museum is the original steam engine room (the steam engine room was put into operation in 1910, with a height of 12 meters and an area of more than 600 square meters. It is equipped with two horizontal double acting piston reciprocating steam engines, which drive two water pumps with a power of 441.6 kW and a daily water distribution capacity of 18700 cubic meters. The disinfected water in the water plant is pumped into the water tower from the pumps here, and then transported to the pipe network by gravity flow.). In addition to the steam turbine room, we can also see some other buildings and facilities with a history of nearly 100 years. The newly decorated steam turbine house still retains the European architectural style rarely seen today. The objects, pictures, models, sand tables and explanatory notes displayed in it can give you a clear understanding of the development of Beijing's water supply industry in the past 90 years. Through the exhibition, we can understand the history of the development of tap water, and at the same time, we can realize how the development of science and technology has changed the cause of tap water. With the help of sound, light, electricity and other technologies, the exhibition shows us the production process of tap water, the distribution of underground water pipe network, water quality monitoring methods, etc., so that visitors can have a preliminary understanding of the production process of tap water. At the same time, they understand that tap water does not come from itself. It is not only a very valuable resource, but also a product of people's labor. The museum also has computer touch screen, pipe network leak detection and other interactive activities that the audience can directly participate in, so as to fully enhance the audience's interest and increase understanding.

Exhibition hall setting

The Museum of water supply has set up a special exhibition area to show the vigorous development of Beijing's water industry from the founding of new China to the end of 1970s and more than 20 years of reform and opening up. A huge electronic pipe network diagram, almost occupies the whole wall, in which the fine and crisscross pipe network lines record the footprints of running water. In the twinkling of an eye, the familiar faces in the old photos are very eye-catching: Chairman Mao Zedong, Premier Zhou Enlai and other state leaders are working with the workers on the construction site of Beijing reservoir, showing a touching scene of the concerted efforts of the whole people to solve the problem of drinking water and water in Beijing. Thus, for ordinary people, tap water may only be a minor part of life, but for the party and the government, it is a major concern for people's livelihood. Tap water is not "self-made", but comes from people's wisdom and hard work.

Introduction to water knowledge exhibition hall

The exhibition hall of water knowledge introduces the distribution of water resources on the earth; water and human beings; dynamic models related to water and sculptures of water pollution and water resource depletion, which remind people to cherish and cherish water resources.

Exhibition hall of water supply historical materials

In order to survive, this paper presents the water use equipment from ancient times to modern times, the historical data of development and the introduction of famous experts who have contributed to the development of water supply in China. Historically, the residents in Beijing urban area have drilled earth wells and used shallow groundwater. In 1885, there were 1245 wells in the inner and outer cities of Beijing, but most of them were salty and bitter. Interestingly, the construction of water supply projects in Beijing is due to the fire. It is said that when Empress Dowager Cixi summoned Yuan Shikai in the summer palace, a young eunuch came to report that there was a fire in a certain place, which made Empress Dowager Cixi very angry. She asked Yuan Shikai for fire prevention measures, and Yuan Shikai replied: use tap water to prevent fire. Since then, on March 18 of the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu (1908), the Minister of agriculture, industry and commerce, Pu Fu, Xi Yan and Yang Shiqi, played "please run the Beijing water supply company". After that, the Beijing water supply company, which was steered by Zhou Xuexi, was finally completed. In the museum, there are still memorials of the water supply company. The establishment of the water supply company is not only of great significance in the blueprint of the development of water supply in Beijing, but also of great significance - it is one of the earliest joint-stock enterprises in China. The stocks, stubs and business licenses issued in that year are displayed in the museum.

Venue design

At the gate of the museum, in front of a 7-meter-high "source of life" sculpture, there are three ancient and simple Chinese dragons in deformation, vigorous and powerful. The dragon's tail tilts up to the sky and holds up the stainless steel ball, which is a symbol of the earth. It shows that without the support of the dragon, which is a symbol of "water", the earth will no longer have life. Water is the source of life. The museum displays the history of human water use, introduces the basic knowledge of water, describes the value of water resources, illustrates that water is the source of life, describes the production process of tap water, explains the main points of water supply technology, publicizes the knowledge of water saving, and shows the development process of water supply in modern China. Through the visit, people can increase their understanding of water, improve their awareness of protecting water resources, and more consciously cherish the "source of life" - water.

The exhibition hall is an important part of the water supply technology museum. It reflects the historical materials and collections of the development of water supply industry in China, and it is also a place for people to acquire water knowledge. Dozens of blue light bulb lamps are hung on the top of the hall. The walls are engraved with the characters of "water" written by calligraphers of all ages and the wavy guide railings. These series of combinations add to the atmosphere of "water". The exhibition hall of water supply historical materials records the drinking water left by the beginning of human beings on earth
