On the three-story white stone platform at the end of the wide and far-reaching lawn, the nine-bay imitation Liao Temple Hall is covered with brown glazed tiles. The roof is gentle and the dougong is thick. The entire hall is majestic and magnificent. It is a masterpiece in modern architectural history and a landmark building in Nanbo.

The details and decoration of the building follow the legacy of the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Only one piece of this protective treasure-silver-strung jade coat has been found in my country. In 1970, it was unearthed in the tomb of the descendants of Liu Gong, King of Pengcheng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in Xuzhou City.

The dazzling array of cultural and creative products is both artistic and practical. Here, tourists 'interest in exhibits can be taken home through cultural and creative products.

Museum stores allow cultural relics to enter the homes of ordinary people and truly achieve the concept of "bringing museums home".

Although it is an exhibition hall of treasures in the town, in fact, the museum's treasures in the town are scattered in various exhibition halls, and not all of them are concentrated here.

In the center of the exhibition hall is the treasure of the imperial kiln-the underglaze red plum vase with the cold three friends pattern. The bottle is a ceramic ware of the Ming Dynasty and a national treasure cultural relic. It is the only existing Hongwu glaze red plum bottle with a lid and completely preserved. The plum vase is beautiful in shape and intact. The Three Friends of Cold Year refer to three evergreen plants: pine, green bamboo and plum blossoms, symbolizing the ambition of being noble and pure.

Various models showing Jiangsu's construction stand in the atrium on the second floor.

Exhibition Hall 8 on the second floor of Nanbo's special exhibition hall is holding the "Jiangsu Major Construction Achievements Exhibition".

The exhibition focuses on Jiangsu's 70 years of infrastructure construction. From four aspects: strong economy, rich people, beautiful environment, and high level of civilization, it presents the support provided by major construction projects to social, economic and life changes in a three-dimensional manner, fully demonstrating the "strong wealth and beautiful" The development path of new Jiangsu.

A strong economy is a title that Jiangsu deserves.

The strong economy can be seen from the river-crossing bridges and river-crossing tunnels in Jiangsu. From the first double-decker railway and dual-use highway bridge designed and built by China on the Yangtze River in 1968 to the world-class Yangtze River Tunnel at a depth of 70 meters at the bottom of the river in 2015, Jiangsu has 14 cross-river channels. This blue model is the Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge. It is the largest railway bridge in the world with the largest volume, the largest load, the largest span and the highest speed.

Achievements of rail transit

The development of ticket checking tools has developed too fast, and now there is no need for manual ticket checking.

Power generation, power grid engineering

This is currently the longest and most advanced ro-ro ship model among operating ships in the world.

The material and spiritual lives of Jiangsu people go hand in hand.

This exhibition is so cordial

The third part is beautiful. Jiangsu is a land of fish and rice, so there is naturally no need to say much about the environment.

Coupled with the beautiful rural construction in recent years. Today's Jiangsu, natural beauty and humanistic beauty, traditional beauty and modern beauty complement each other. The air is fresh, the water is clear, and the environment is clean. It not only has the urban scenery with the characteristics of Jiangnan water towns and a modern urban atmosphere, but also has the beautiful countryside that most remembers nostalgia.

The fourth part is a high level of civilization. While continuing to improve people's living standards and quality of life, Jiangsu has gradually improved its public cultural service system, carried out extensive cultural projects to benefit the people, provided more and better public services, and improved the people's spiritual and cultural level. This is the modern model of Jiangsu Grand Theater. Covering an area of approximately 200,000 square meters, Jiangsu Grand Theater is the largest cultural project in Jiangsu Province. It is designated as a "display platform for world-class art works, exchange platform for international art activities, and promotion platform for public welfare art education.

Walking out of the hall is a big platform and green lawn.

Return to the special exhibition hall, a colorful chapter in prosperity

This chapter describes the most glorious official kiln porcelain from the Three Dynasties of the Qing Dynasty

Blue and white porcelain covered cans with passion lotus patterns, blue and white plum vases with lotus patterns, and blue and white lion peony patterns embroidered piers with these exquisite blue and white porcelain are all official kilns during the Kangxi period and are exquisite.

The color glazed porcelain of Yongzheng and Qianlong years is gorgeous and luxurious.

Among porcelain, my favorite is blue and white porcelain. It is atmospheric, exquisite, eye-catching and thought-provoking.

It is a blue and white dark Eight Immortals rubber ball and brocade pattern bundle porcelain bottle with simple colors and unique shape.

Blue and white lotus pot with eight auspicious patterns

The styles of official kiln porcelain in the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty were different. The atmosphere of Kangxi official kiln porcelain, the exquisiteness of Yongzheng official kiln porcelain, and the beauty of Qianlong official kiln porcelain were displayed in an orderly manner in front of everyone in this exhibition hall.

In addition to porcelain, the Qing Dynasty emperors Yongzheng and Qianlong also had an extraordinary preference for displays. During the Qianlong period, there were abundant furnishings, diverse materials, beautiful shapes, and superb production. All of them were high-quality products.

These artifacts show the supreme dignity of the imperial power and the supreme momentum of the royal family, as well as the elegant and refined taste. These palace treasures in the exhibition hall opened my eyes. From these dazzling exhibits, with diverse materials and ever-changing shapes, we learned about Qing Dynasty etiquette, beliefs, life, furnishings, appreciation and other aspects, and learned about the colorful Qing Dynasty court life.

The huge Nanbo turned around and I lost my way, and somehow I arrived at the Digital Museum.

Through flowing water, sandstorms, and changing stars, it reflects the unique role of "time" on human civilization and creates a sense of situation where time flies and everything changes.

The digital museum uses multimedia forms such as multiple screens, transparent screens, and QR codes to create a three-dimensional and rich display environment,"the city under your feet"
Guide us to move along the streamline and change the scenery.

Artistic words under the illusion of light

Use C-shaped giant screen films to show the stories of war and empire, and express the heroism, perseverance and beauty in the process of human progress.

Historical development, city development

The progress of life is shown through this spiral model. In the spiral and gradual historical process of birth, development, prosperity and decline, everything is constantly maturing and improving.

The dreamy feeling of walking in the digital museum.

I have long known that Nanbo has an Internet celebrity site-the Republic of China Pavilion. The Republic of China Museum is located on the underground level on the east side of the art museum. Without deliberately looking for it, you can walk through to the Republic of China.

The buildings here, the sky, roads, street lights, and the application of sound, light, electricity and other technologies create a retro and nostalgic atmosphere of true history.

The Republic of China Pavilion is very Nanjing. On the streets of the Republic of China, banks, grand theaters, post offices, barber shops, bars, railway stations... Everything you need.

The streetscape of the Republic of China European architecture imitated by the Republic of China embodies the urban life scene at that time and is a microcosm of the urban culture of old Nanjing.

Walking in such a scene, you will feel like traveling through time and space and wonder what time point you are at?

The Grand Theater has a strong sense of nostalgia, and the posters on the walls evoke memories deep in memory.

The goods in the small shop are full of memories. We can find the things we ate as children here. The milk aroma of white rabbits and the mellow aroma of wheat milk essence evoke memories of my childhood. Kaleidoscope, little green iron frog and these small objects touch the little nostalgia in my heart.

The lady boss's dress is also in the style of the Republic of China. She spent 10 yuan here to buy the snack we had when we were children-"rat droop".

The old post office of the Republic of China is still open, and the letters and packages here flow in the mark of time.

The railway station has always been the most nostalgic place. Every day, there are receptions to greet and send off, travel to other places or return to one's hometown. Nanjing's Pukou Railway Station is the Republic of China Station. Nanjing is a major transit point between north and south. This railway station has brought the hope of many people.

The locomotive is quietly parked on the train platform, and the whistle of those years and the exhortation of Yiyi to bid farewell still seem to linger here.

In the street scene of the Republic of China, the objects of the Republic of China deeply attract boys and girls with a strong plot of the Republic of China to pose here. Or leaning against the doors and windows with a faint sadness in their eyes, or holding up our chin by the window and quietly focusing, we were immersed in the scene and experiencing the social customs of the time in the scattered shadows of the passing years.

In the singing of Yiyaya, we came to the old teahouse. This place is completely the layout of an old-fashioned tea house, with an all-wooden antique tea house and a resplendent stage.

Sing seriously on the stage and watch carefully off the stage.

The program is announced that here, Jiangsu's unique quyi, traditional drama zaozi opera and folk music will be regularly staged, such as Suzhou Pingtan, Nanjing Baiju, Kunqu Opera zaozi opera, Jiangnan Silk and Bamboo, etc.;

Long art gallery

Exhibition Hall 30 is an intangible cultural heritage museum. Intangible cultural heritage is a traditional cultural expression passed down from generation to generation by people of all ethnic groups.

The Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum focuses on displaying the projects selected by our province in the "Representative List of Human Intangible Cultural Heritage" and the "National Intangible Cultural Heritage List" to promote the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

This is a place to showcase typical traditional art and traditional craft projects in Jiangsu.

When you come out of the intangible cultural heritage museum, you will arrive at the outdoor Wenyuan Square.

Bosutang on the side of Wenyuan Square is the main store of Nanjing Museum of the Jiangsu Province Museum Store Alliance.

This place is similar to the cultural and creative store I saw indoors before. I remember when I was out on National Day, I suddenly thought of coming to the cultural and creative store to buy some special gifts for my friends far away. But when I arrived here, I found that it was impossible to make a temporary reservation for National Day. I asked the service staff guarding the ID card machine that I just wanted to go to the cultural and creative store to buy cultural and creative supplies. But he told me I couldn't enter because there was no ticket. In fact, he could have told me that there was a cultural and creative store in Wenyuan Square. There is no need to enter the ticket area here, just come and buy it directly.

Because of time, I only walked around in Nanbo for a few hours. In fact, Nanbo is really rich. The exhibition hall is large and numerous, and the exhibits are numerous and exquisite, ranging from the Paleolithic to contemporary times. There are both Chinese and Jiangsu; there are both palace relics, archaeological excavations, and social collection and donations. The types in the collection include stone tools, pottery, jade, bronzes, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, weaving and embroidery, bamboo and wood tooth carvings, folk customs and contemporary art. You can rent a voice interpreter here, look at each exhibition hall, and listen carefully to each item one by one. Follow them from ancient times to the Republic of China, from the past to the present, from amazement to thinking. I will come again to Nanbo when I have time!
