1. Hunan People-Sanxiang Historical and Cultural Exhibition: Hunan's history and culture are displayed in the first person of "Hunan People", and their process of creating Hunan's regional history and accumulating Hunan's regional civilization is described. Key cultural relics include:

1. Dahe people's facial pattern square tripod. The artifacts of the late Shang Dynasty were green in color when unearthed, with the upper mouth slightly larger than the lower bottom. The most special thing is that the body is decorated with a embossed human face, surrounded by cloud and thunder patterns, and two claws on both sides of the chin.

2. The dish is served. On the "National Treasure" program, the lid of the vessel is engraved with the eight-character inscription "The dish serves as a father and respects the Yi", and the body of the vessel is engraved with the six-character inscription "The dish serves as a father and respects the Yi". The shape is solemn and is known as "The King of Fang Lei" is a representative work during the heyday of Chinese bronze culture. After being unearthed in 1919, it was lost overseas. The body and cover were separated for a century. In 2014, it was purchased and returned to China to the Hunan Province Museum, where it was able to cover the body and fit it back to Hunan.

3. Beam-lined pot with animal face pattern: Shang Dynasty, wine container. It has an arc-shaped cover with melon-shaped buttons on the cover and four ribs on the cover surface; a long straight neck, an oval cross-section of the body, dragon-shaped lifting beams on both sides of the upper abdomen, and door ribs on the back of the dragon. There are three embossed standing birds arranged up and down on both sides of the lower abdomen. Bronze containers with round carved phoenixes as ribs are rare.

4. Changsha King Seal: In 2009, a tomb robbery case in Changsha was successfully solved, and more than 300 precious cultural relics were seized, including a Changsha King Golden Seal and a Changsha King Golden Seal (currently in Changsha City Bo). These two seals are all turtle buttons above and square seals below. They are engraved with seal characters "Changsha King Seal" and "Changsha King Seal" respectively, representing the noble identity of the owner of the Han tomb. They are the gold seals of two generations of Liu's Changsha King.

5. Changsha Kiln Green Glaze and Brown Color Poetry Holding Pot: Changsha Kiln was a civilian kiln product in the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty. It mainly fired civil porcelain, mostly for civilian utensils such as cans, bowls, plates, boxes, and pots. It broke through the limitation of a single glaze color of porcelain and created a precedent for underglaze color decoration and text decoration. This Changsha kiln poetry brown-colored pot is 19 centimeters high, the mouth of the pot is turned out, the neck is thick and short, and a handle is installed on the back. The melon has a prismatic belly and a flat bottom. The belly has a brown color to write a poem: Spring water and spring pools are full, spring grass grows in spring, spring people drink spring wine, and spring birds sing the sound of spring.

6. Yuan blue and white jade pot spring bottle: Wine utensils are often used in conjunction with Zao and supporting cups. The general wearing a high crown of phoenix tails and a robe in the middle of the belly of the bottle was Meng Tian. The warrior standing behind held a book with the banner of "General Meng Tian" in both hands. One warrior grabbed and knelt down the prisoner, while the other warrior seemed to report, with strange rocks, fences, flowers and plants dotted among the characters. Most of these Yuan blue and white character patterns are drawn from Yuan opera, presenting a new artistic realm. The whole porcelain has exquisite texture, well-proportioned glaze color, pure coloring, and superb painting skills. It is a masterpiece among blue and white porcelain in the Yuan Dynasty.

2. Exhibition of the Han Tombs in Mawangdui: The Han Tombs in Mawangdui are the family cemetery of Li Cang, the Prime Minister of Changsha State in the early Western Han Dynasty. Among the three Han tombs, the second tomb is Li Cang, the Prime Minister of Changsha in the early Han Dynasty, the first tomb is Li Cang's wife Xin Zhui, and the third tomb is Li Cang's son. A total of more than 3000 precious cultural relics were unearthed from the three Han tombs, most of which are well preserved, including plain gauze as thin as cicada's wings, intact printed cotton robes, various fine and beautiful embroidery, brightly shiny painted lacquerware, and exquisite and meticulous Painted silk paintings, rich silk books, various carved and refined wooden figurines, as well as musical instruments and weapons such as zither, zither, and sheng. Key cultural relics include:

1. T-shaped silk painting. It has been on the "National Treasure" program. It is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, has a "T" shape, and has a spike-shaped ribbon at the four corners downward. It was unearthed in Tomb No. 1 of the Han Tomb in Mawangdui in 1972. The content of the T-shaped silk painting is divided into three parts: heaven, earth and underground, covering many artistic images. Silk painting itself is a painting art and also represents a traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

2. Plain yarn single clothes. It was unearthed in Tomb No. 1 of the Han Tomb in Mawangdui in 1972 and weighs 48 grams. If the silk used as the edges of collars, sleeves, and skirts are removed, the weight of this dress is only more than 20 grams. It is "as thin as cicada wings and as light as smoke", which makes people sigh at how advanced the silk weaving skills of those days were. The various silk fabrics and clothing unearthed from the Han tomb in Mawangdui are of early age, large quantity, and diverse variety. They are well preserved, greatly enriching the historical materials of ancient Chinese textile technology.

3. Silk cotton robe with vermilion rhombus pattern: unearthed from Xin Zhui's tomb. Crossed collar, right lap, curved skirt, vermilion diamond-patterned silk fabric, plain silk inside, inner wadding silk wool. Its style is similar to the ancient "deep clothes" and was widely popular among aristocratic women in the early Western Han Dynasty.

4. Painted coffin in red ground. Mrs. Xin Zhui's burial equipment. When it was unearthed, it was housed in a black lacquer coffin and a black painted coffin. The whole body was covered with pine vermilion lacquer inside and outside. On the outer vermilion lacquer base, bright colors such as green, pink brown, lotus root brown, yellow and white were used to paint dragons, tigers, finch birds, deer and immortals."auspicious" patterns such as flowing and changing magic in Chu culture to the world. It is a rare artistic treasure in the history of lacquer craftsmanship in our country.

5. Lacquerware: A total of about 500 pieces of lacquer ware were unearthed from the Han tomb in Mawangdui. The main types of utensils include tripods, daggers, boxes, pots, francium, goblets, ear cups, plates, caskets, tables and screens. Most of the decorative patterns are painted in red, black and grey-green colors. The patterns are mainly geometric patterns, supplemented by dragon and phoenix patterns and grass patterns. Many cups and trays have the words "Junxing Shi" and "Junxing Wine" written on the bottom, and the appearance is as bright as new, which shows that the lacquer manufacturing industry in the early Han Dynasty was relatively developed.

6. Silk books and bamboo slips: The content covers various fields such as thought, military affairs, astronomy, medicine, and geography. In addition, there are two ancient maps.

Out of protection and respect for cultural relics, it is forbidden to take photos when visiting Mrs. Xin Zhui. After more than 2,000 years, Mrs. Xin Zhui's body is still well preserved and has not rotted. This is a great miracle in the archaeological history of our country. As Hunan's cultural business card, the Han Tomb Exhibition at Mawangdui in Changsha attracts a large number of tourists to visit the Hunan Museum. Listening to the serious explanations of the museum volunteers wearing red vests and watching them lead the audience in the crowded crowd, it was really difficult. As a museum volunteer, I really felt the same way. I didn't reluctantly leave the museum until it closed at five o'clock.

After a short rest at the hotel, we went to the Guang Night Market. Changsha is a city that never sleeps. Wuyi Square, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, Taiping Old Street, and Pozi Street are all must-check places. They are the most prosperous area in Changsha City, with everything to eat and drink. There is a "Tea Beauty" milk tea shop every few steps, and every family queues up. The streets are crowded at night, with huge screens on street corners, and various specialty snacks. The happy night best represents Changsha's temperament.

The second day (Thursday, June 29): Juzizhou, Yuelu Mountain

First, visit the Juzizhou Scenic Area, which has circular sightseeing buses. Juzizhou is located in the middle of the Xiangjiang River, surrounded by water on all sides and stretching for ten miles. It is known as the "first continent in the world". The main attraction is the Zhoutou Statue Square. Standing at the head of Juzi Island and looking up at the statue of the Chairman in his youth, reading "Qinyuanchun·Changsha" again, sitting on the steps of the island and blowing the wind, and watching the flow of the Xiangjiang River, I really feel high-spirited.

Across the river from Juzizhou is the Yuelu Mountain Scenic Area, which has many historical relics and a strong cultural atmosphere. Currently, the cableway is under construction. You can take a sightseeing bus from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain and have a panoramic view of the beautiful Xiangjiang River. We didn't take a sightseeing bus down the mountain. Instead, we walked through the forest along the mountain path. We could see many attractions along the way, with lush plants and beautiful scenery. In the mountains are the cemeteries of Huang Xing, Cai E and other revolutionary martyrs, as well as a long-standing temple "Lushan Temple".

When you are tired from walking, find a tea house in the forest, have a cup of tea, and rest your feet, so that you can experience the fun of slow travel.

As we approach the foot of the mountain, we see the "Love Evening Pavilion". The pavilion is named after the poem "Parking and sitting in the maple forest at night, the frost leaves are redder than the February flowers" of Tang Dynasty. It is a good place to enjoy the autumn scenery of red leaves.

The Yuelu Academy at the foot of the mountain is one of the four famous academies in Chinese history. The Neo-Confucianism scholars Zhu Xi and Zhang Wei of the Southern Song Dynasty once held a "lecture" here. The four words "Yuelu Academy" were awarded by Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. It was named Hunan University in 1927. Every courtyard, every stone tablet, and every brick here shines with the humanistic spirit tempered by time.

Day 3 (Friday, June 30): Changsha Museum, return to Nanjing by high-speed train in the afternoon

Changsha City Museum is located at the intersection of Xiangjiang River and Liuyang River.

It is a low-key and connotative city-level museum with two basic exhibitions: Changsha Ancient History and Culture Exhibition and Changsha Modern History and Culture Exhibition. There are many heavyweight cultural relics and it is a good place to learn about Changsha's history and culture!


1. Changsha King Jinxi: The shape and quality of the gold seal are consistent with the documentary records, providing new precious physical evidence for the study of the Han Dynasty royal seal system.

2. Large bronze cymbal with elephant pattern: A cultural relic of the Shang Dynasty, 103 centimeters high and 221.5 kilograms. The cymbal is brown-green and has a round tube shape. The Zheng part is in the shape of a tiled. The main pattern is an animal face pattern composed of thick lines. The eyes are embossed thick hook patterns. The drum part is decorated with a set of elephant patterns standing opposite each other and connected noses.

3. Double-sided opencut blue jade pendant with dragon patterns: cultural relics from the Warring States Period, carved with green jade. The edge of the jade is an arc-shaped dragon body and a small round hole in the center for wearing with a tether. It is a masterpiece among the jade articles of Chu.

I came across a good temporary exhibition at the Changsha City Museum and saw many heavyweight cultural relics such as gold strands and jade clothes of the King of Nanyue in the Western Han Dynasty
