Main exhibition hall

Entering the gate of the museum, you can see the name of "Shanghai Post Museum" inscribed by Mr. Jiang Zemin. Turn left into the front hall, where a statue of Zhu xuefan, the first minister of Posts and Telecommunications of new China, is displayed. Through the front hall is the origin and development exhibition area. As early as the Shang Dynasty, people communicated by beating drums. The oracle bone inscriptions on display in the window on the left hand side record the situation of distant drumming to inform military information at that time. Two steps ahead, you can see the seal used to prevent official documents from being demolished privately in the Han and Tang Dynasties, as well as the portrait brick of post envoys vividly showing the situation of post post communication. The beacon communication booth in front of the post envoy portrait brick brings you a group of small multimedia shows. In ancient times, the beacon fire pier was a military facility to defend the coast. When there was an emergency, the beacon fire would alarm. When you go to the beacon pier exhibition platform, the first thing you can see is the scene of beacon piers in ancient southern coastal areas in the daytime. If you press the start button, the background light goes out, creating an atmosphere of night. Then, the beacon towers in the scene box are lit up from far to near, which reproduces the process of ancient night beacon communication.

Along the way, we can also see the memorial of Emperor Guangxu approving the opening of the national post on March 20, 1896, which later became the anniversary of the opening of China Post. Not far from the display window of the memorial, there are four characters of Qing Dynasty Post on the mailbox, and the dragon on the mailbox is majestic. The exhibition area also features a 1:100 scale model of the Shanghai Post Building, which was completed in 1924. In the postmaster's office next to the model, the postmaster, made of wax, is using a telescope to check the arrival of mail on the Bank of the Pujiang River.

In the second exhibition area, network and science and technology exhibition area, a huge map of the distribution of postal branches in the central area of Shanghai using photoelectric technology is presented. The number of self operated service outlets in Shanghai Post increased from 30 in 1911 to 584 in 2003, from which we can feel the rapid development of post. Continue to move forward a few steps, the huge snow mountain in front of you makes you feel like you are in the South and North Pole. You must have never thought that Shanghai Post has left its footprints at the two poles where people rarely visit. Here you can see the first postmaster of the Great Wall Station in Antarctica used the date stamp, the arrival day souvenir cover and the business information of the Xuelong post office. In addition, the RFID mail sorting prototype in the exhibition area is a high-tech product, which will demonstrate the sorting process of mail. This model is based on the cross belt trolley sorter developed for Pudong mail processing center, which can process 100000 pieces of mail per day. The exhibition area also displays a series of postal supplies and appliances, such as various electronic postage machines, different kinds of special postal scales, and postal boxes of various countries.

Letters convey the feelings between people. When you enter the business and cultural exhibition area, you can see the real seals in different periods, such as the real seals sealed with lacquer in the period of the Republic of China and the quotations of Chairman Mao in the period of the cultural revolution. Turn around and you'll see the handwriting of Ba Jin, Guo Moruo and other celebrities. Tourists can also learn about the development of postal business and its profound cultural heritage through the distribution of postal newspapers and periodicals, photos and physical exhibits of remittance and savings financial business.

In the stamp and philatelic exhibition area, visitors can also have a close contact with precious stamps. The video clips broadcast in the exhibition area tell the story of the birth of black pence in the form of vivid and interesting puppets. Not only that, you can also see old black pennies with Maltese Cross stamps. Next to it is a display of the first set of stamps issued by China in 1878, the Dragon stamps. It is worth mentioning that the two display cabinets use concave mirror technology to form virtual images of the two stamps through optical principles. Visitors can see realistic three-dimensional stamps, but they are empty when they touch them with their hands. Next to these two display cabinets is the first kind of stamps (top 50) exhibition board in the world. The exhibition board lists in detail the issuing time, issuing country or region, face value and other basic contents of the top 50 stamps. In addition, there are display boxes for all kinds of special stamps in the world. In the display box of special shaped stamps, you can see French heart-shaped stamps and Chinese triangular stamps. The special material stamp display box displays Polish silk stamps and Swiss wood stamps. In the display box of special craft stamps, there are chocolate stamps from Switzerland.

The stamp and philatelic exhibition area also displays the Qing Dynasty customs postal stamps, including Xiaolong stamps and Wanshou stamps issued to coincide with Empress Dowager Cixi's 60th birthday, as well as the Qing Dynasty postal stamps, Zhonghua postal stamps, liberated area stamps and new China stamps.

At the end of the exhibition area, the Philatelic Museum displays legendary varieties (such as stamps stamped with "temporary neutrality") associated with major historical events in the process of formation, discovery and circulation, or rare orphans due to short issuing period, natural loss and accidental damage
