architectural composition

As soon as you walk into the museum, you are faced with the "former site of Tingzhou test institute". It is located on the central axis of the historical buildings of Tingzhou ancient city, and the construction of Tingzhou ancient city spreads out to both sides. "Tingzhou test institute covers an area of more than 10000 square meters. It is composed of a gate tower, an empty flat, a lobby, a back hall, a wing room and a bungalow. The building is simple and simple, the environment is elegant, the scale is grand and the momentum is magnificent. Founded in the Song Dynasty, it is the site of Tingzhou Imperial Army Department, the former site of Tingzhou health department in the Yuan Dynasty, and the Tingzhou examination Academy in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the place for candidates of imperial examinations in eight counties under the jurisdiction of Tingzhou. " The main hall in the middle is the auditorium of the examination institute. The restored houses on both sides are the original examination rooms. The houses behind the auditorium are the accommodation places for the scholars, recruiters and invigilators. It is the representative building of ancient Tingzhou as the cultural center of eight counties in West Fujian. In front of the test yard are two lush and vigorous cypress trees, which are ancient cypresses planted in the Tang Dynasty. According to experts, they have a history of more than 1200 years. It can be concluded that the two cypresses were planted in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, which is the historical witness of the ancient city of Tingzhou. The trunk is thick and needs three people to embrace. The tree is about 12 meters high. It is an extremely precious ancient cypress in Changting County. On both sides of the Tingzhou examination hall are the Tingzhou Hakka Museum and Changting revolutionary history exhibition. The whole exhibition hall of Tingzhou Hakka Museum covers an area of 700 square meters and is divided into four exhibition rooms. The exhibition is divided into five parts: the first part is "the famous Hakka capital in China"; the second part is "splendid and colorful cultural landscape"; "Hakka culture with a long history"; "guests belong to one family in the world"; and "Changting rising and striving".

Basic Display

On both sides of the examination hall are the Tingzhou Hakka Museum and the Changting revolutionary history exhibition. Covering an area of 700 square meters, the Tingzhou Hakka Museum is divided into five parts: the famous Hakka capital in China, the splendid cultural landscape, the Hakka culture with a long history, the world's guests belong to one family, and the rising and advancing Changting.

In the exhibition room of the famous Hakka capital in China, there is a folk song reflecting this tradition: "where do Hakkas come from? Hakkas come from the Yellow River. Where does the Hakka live? Every mountain has its guests. Men go out into the world, women run the house and farm. In the mountains and out of the mountains, we will work together to build a beautiful new home. " In the exhibition room, there is a sketch map of the five times of southward migration of the Han people in the Central Plains, which clearly shows the origin and development of the Hakka people in Changting, attracting us to stand in front of the map and trace the origin. The guide said: "it can be seen from the picture that the Hakka ancestors of Changting were mainly from the second and third southward migration of the Han people in the Central Plains. A large number of Hakkas moved to the south, promoted the formation of Tingzhou political center, and ultimately promoted the development of Tingzhou business. The opening of shipping from Tingzhou to Chaozhou in the Song Dynasty made Tingjiang become the main artery of water transportation between Fujian and Guangdong, and an important business town with thousands of merchants.

"Splendid and colorful cultural landscape" exhibition room displays Changting's colorful and amazing places of interest, such as Tingjiang dragon gate, chaodouyan, Yunxiang Pavilion, Shuangyin tower, etc. There are Hakka houses and other unique Hakka buildings. The enclosed house is mainly a mansion style building, surrounded by a circle of enclosed houses, in which there are all kinds of ponds and wells, which can be used by dozens of families. It embodies the unity spirit of Hakka people living together, and it is also conducive to resist foreign invasion in ancient times.

In the exhibition room of "Hakka culture with a long history", there are a group of photos reflecting the traditional culture of Changting, such as dragon dance lantern, boat riding lantern, horse lantern, Lantern Festival, folk music performance, sedan chair competition, puppet, pavilion raising, nine links, hundred pot banquet and lantern, etc. In addition, there are three treasures of Hakka women in Changting, such as cool hats, aprons and cloth shoes, as well as plows, stone mills, rice hulls, face washing racks, tables and various kinds of bamboo products, which are representative of Hakka people's production and life.

During the exhibition of Changting revolutionary history, the guide said that the whole exhibition covers an area of more than 750 square meters, which is divided into three parts: "the creation of red area in Changting County"; "the central city of the Central Soviet Area"; "persist in struggle, the red flag will not fall". During the second Civil Revolutionary War, Changting, as the capital of Fujian Soviet Area and the economic center of CPC Soviet Area, was known as "little red Shanghai" and "hometown of Red Army". Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, Chen Yi, Ye Jianying and other CPC leaders and founding fathers all carried out great revolutionary practice in this green land, while Qu Qiubai, the early leader of the CPC, and he Shuheng, the representative of the first National Congress of the CPC, shed the last drop of blood on this red land.

Looking at the materials of "xingeng villa", the guide said that it is a two-story building with full wood structure, covering 523 square meters. In 1988, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. Mao Zedong once presided over the investigation meeting and the enlarged meeting of the front Committee here, and determined the great strategic policy of opening up the central revolutionary base.

At the end of the Revolution Museum, there is a small dark wooden house. This was the place where Qu Qiubai, the early famous leader of our party, was arrested by the Kuomintang in May 1935. The tour guide said that the Luohan ridge in Changting city was a disaster to Qu Qiubai at that time. Now there is a monument for later generations to look up to and pay attention to. The monument stands at 310.59 meters high, surrounded by green pines and cypresses. The eight characters on the monument are inscribed by Lu Dingyi. When Hu Jintao visited Changting in June 1999, he laid a wreath to martyr Qu Qiubai.
