The Sichuan Museum's special exhibition on the pre-Qin period displays the most representative bronzes from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, such as the Zheng bronze chariot, the Zhao bronze sword, and tripods, furnaces, goblets, pots, jars, plates, mirrors and many other objects. These bronze artifacts not only reflect the artistic style and production technology of the time, but also reflect the political, economic and cultural characteristics of the countries at that time.

If you’re heading to 杜甫草堂 (Du Fu Thatched Cottage), consider making a stop at the Sichuan Museum — it’s right along the way, and honestly, it was such a pleasant surprise. 🌞 With Chengdu’s summer heat in full swing, the museum’s air-conditioning and sheltered walkways were a welcome break. But beyond the comfort, what I really liked was how well done the exhibits were. 📚 Their Three Kingdoms exhibition was especially engaging — presented in a way that’s easy to understand even for history newbies, with great visuals, artefacts, and interactive panels. It gave me a much clearer picture of Sichuan’s role in that dramatic era. 🎟️ Bonus: It’s free, just remember to bring your passport/ID for entry. Whether you’re a history buff or just need a cool escape for an hour or two, the Sichuan Museum is 100% worth the stop! #summervacay #四川博物院 #SichuanMuseum #成都避暑好去处 #三国文化 #成都旅行 #杜甫草堂顺路 #ChengduMuseumHopping #三国历史 #FreeInChengdu #HiddenGemsChengdu #文化小憩 #避暑打卡地

Chengdu Spring Roaming | Encountering Poetry and Blooming Flowers in Huanhuaxi Park Chengdu's spring is hidden in the moist breeze and in the layers of greenery. If you want to find a place where you can feel the wildness of nature and touch the historical context, Huanhuaxi Park is definitely the best choice. This weekend, why not slow down and come here for a date with poetry and blooming flowers. 🌿 Strolling through the Poetic Garden, Immersive Oxygen Absorption At nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight shines through the branches and leaves, and the moment you step into Huanhuaxi Park, you are embraced by the oncoming negative oxygen ions. As a "city lung" with a very high green coverage rate in Chengdu, there are beautiful scenery everywhere: winding streams pass through the park, with lush calamus and wildflowers dotted along the banks; the bamboo forest beside the trail rustles, and occasionally you meet sketching painters, whose paintings of the lake and mountains have already been dyed with the gentleness of spring. Tips: The park is open for free until 22:00. It is recommended to visit during off-peak hours in the morning to avoid the crowds and capture the hazy poetry when the morning mist has not yet dissipated. 📜 Check in at Cultural Landmarks and Touch the Temperature of History Passing through the Moon Cave Gate on the west side of the park, the thatched cottage of Du Fu, the "Sage of Poetry," comes into view—Du Fu Thatched Cottage (ticket price: CNY 50, open from 9:00–18:00). Among the red walls and bamboo shadows, the Tang Dynasty-style thatched cottage ruins, the Tang Dynasty pottery figurine exhibition, and the modern gardens are cleverly integrated. Strolling along the stone carvings of "A Happy Rain on a Spring Night," you can almost hear the sound of rain from a thousand years ago. If you want to learn more about Bashu civilization, the Sichuan Provincial Museum (free, reservation required) next door is not to be missed. Zhang Daqian's Dunhuang mural copies and the Sichuan Han Dynasty Pottery and Stone Art Exhibition, every cultural relic tells the story of the past and present of this land. If you are tired of shopping, you may wish to turn into the antique street next to it. Even if you don't hunt for goods, you can be attracted by the antique doors and windows and the elegant cultural and creative shops. A casual shot is a literary blockbuster. 🌸 Spring Limited Romance: Flower Viewing Guide From March to May, Huanhuaxi is never short of flowers: • Red plum and Chinese flowering crabapple: The plum forest at the entrance of the North Gate takes the lead in reporting the spring. The pink and white petals fall on the bluestone slabs, just like the grand scene of "Qujiang has ten thousand trees, all bright and beautiful" in Han Yu's writings; • Tulips and poppies: The flower fields next to the central lake area bloom in turn. The red and yellow color blocks contrast with the green water and trees, making it an excellent background for spring picnics; • Hydrangeas and jacarandas: In mid-to-late May, the hydrangea flower balls by the stream gradually become full, and the jacaranda avenue on Qinghua Road outside the park will be transformed into a purple tunnel. Remember to reserve memory! 🍜 Chengdu on the Tip of the Tongue: Surrounding Food Map After visiting the park, you may wish to reward your taste buds with an authentic Sichuan flavor: • Leshan Xian Zhi Wei Bobo Chicken (Caotang North Road Store): The red oil soup base is fragrant but not dry, and the chicken slices and gizzard are covered with sesame seeds. Paired with a bowl of chicken soup rice, it instantly awakens your appetite; • Zeng Sanxian Rice Noodles (Qinghua Road Store): The signature "Sanxian" rice noodles are full of ingredients and rich in flavor. The sour radish and kelp are refreshing and hit the soul directly. The spiciness is optional and friendly to tourists; • Weimin Barbecue Bar (Huanhua North Road Store): Sitting around the stove in the evening, the grilled pork belly sizzles, paired with ice powder to relieve the spiciness, full of fireworks. ✨ Useful Tips • Transportation: Take Metro Line 5 to Qingyang Palace Station, and you can reach it by riding a bicycle for 10 minutes; you can park in the North Gate parking lot of the park by car (limited parking spaces, it is recommended to arrive early); • Dressing: It is recommended to wear light sports shoes for easy walking; the temperature difference in spring is large, so you can prepare a thin coat; • Hidden gameplay: Rent a small boat to row on the lake (CNY 30/30 minutes), or find your favorite poem on the Poetry Avenue and feel the artistic conception of "Huanhuaxi water is at the west end, and the owner is a secluded forest pond." When the twilight dyes the banks of the stream, take a wisp of floral fragrance and leave Huanhuaxi. This poetic garden hidden in the downtown area has quietly planted Chengdu's philosophy of slow life in the hearts of tourists. Next weekend, why not invite your friends to read poetry, watch flowers, and taste the fireworks of the world, and write the romance of spring into your own travel diary.

#ChinaTravelMoment #Chengdu #NightView This is my second time in Chengdu. Two years ago, I stopped by as a base camp to go to Jiuzhaigou, so I was disappointed that I was there too short. I was glad to have another chance to visit. Chengdu is not a very fancy city, but it is a place that is quite interesting in a small way.

Sichuan Museum, the best place to learn about Sichuan history! Shame on you! As a Sichuanese, I have never visited the "Sichuan Provincial Museum", now called the "Sichuan Museum", the largest comprehensive museum in Southwest China! It was built in 1941. Its infrastructure may not be as good as many new museums, but it is within the first ring road, beside Huanhua Creek, and not far away is Caotang. Therefore, the profound sense of history of Sichuan Museum is absolutely top! Although the Sichuan Museum is "old", its collections are still online! There are 6 basic exhibition halls, 3 permanent exhibitions of general history, and 4 temporary exhibition halls. I spent almost 3 hours today and visited only three museums, from prehistoric times to the pre-Qin period, and then to the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties. The entire historical development of Sichuan is shown very clearly! Saw the famous "Ziyang Man" skull The pottery figurines are always smiling. It turns out that Sichuan people are optimistic. There have been various cultural relics unearthed in Sichuan since ancient times. It feels particularly friendly... The tour guide is very beautiful and professional! Sichuan Museum often has high-level exhibitions, so you can pay more attention to it! The ginkgo trees at the entrance are really beautiful... Tickets: Free admission, but online reservation is still required; Opening hours: 9:00-17:00, Tuesday to Sunday; Parking: Not very convenient, public transportation is recommended.

In the 1940s, the famous painter Zhang Daqian traveled to Dunhuang to study and promote Chinese culture. He spent two and a half years in the Gobi Desert, copying and studying the murals, leaving behind a large number of precious artworks and research records, and opening a new chapter in the study of Dunhuang art. "Rock Wall Paintings: Zhang Daqian's Dunhuang Investigation Artifacts from the Sichuan Museum" is now open at the Sichuan Museum. 32 exquisite works showcase the unique charm of Dunhuang murals, while Zhang Daqian's Dunhuang investigation notes and other precious historical materials outline this legendary journey in art history. The exhibits comprehensively present Zhang Daqian's research and contributions to Dunhuang art, bringing the audience a feast of both academic and visual enjoyment.

This exhibition unit begins in 263 AD, when the state of Wei conquered Shu, and ends in 965 AD, when the Later Shu was conquered by the Song. It is divided into two units: the Jin Dynasties and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties. In this exhibition, which spans 700 years and features 280 cultural relics (sets), visitors can trace the prosperity of Chengdu a thousand years ago, and a picture of the collision and integration of diverse cultures unfolds. During the Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties, Sichuan was stable and prosperous, and merchants and travelers gathered in the area. Chengdu, a thousand-year-old city, became one of the most prosperous cities in the country in the late Tang Dynasty, and was known as "Yangzhou first, Yizhou second" along with Yangzhou. The "Yuanhe County Map" of the Tang Dynasty records that "Yangzhou and Chengdu are known for their prosperity and luxury, so they are called Yang and Yi." Material abundance led to higher spiritual pursuits. Sichuan has been a land of outstanding people since ancient times, and its stable and superior environment attracted a large number of northern scholars to take refuge in Shu. During this period, Sichuan's culture and education flourished, with Buddhist music, poetry, and prose, as well as wine and tea. In addition, the exhibition also features the tomb of Wang Jian, the first scientifically excavated imperial tomb in China and the only above-ground imperial tomb in China.

The museum's treasure is an inlaid bronze pot with banquet, land and water battle patterns. On the body of the bronze pot, which is only 40 centimeters high, more than 200 different human figures are depicted, using inlay techniques to record scenes from the lives of nobles during the Warring States period. This bronze pot is divided into three layers: upper, middle, and lower, separated by a triangular cloud pattern. The upper layer depicts mulberry picking and hunting, the middle layer shows banquets and archery, and the lower layer illustrates land and water battles. Its delicate inlay and superb craftsmanship pioneered a new pattern of bronze decoration art in the Warring States period. There was also a small episode during the visit. I bought a postcard of the bronze pot with land and water battle patterns at the museum, stamped it with a commemorative stamp, but only realized after returning home that it had somehow fallen out of my bag. I hope someone with fate can find it.

This is the annual cultural exhibition of Sichuan Museum, which was launched after a year. The exhibition reproduces the process of mutual learning and exchange between the ancient Bashu land and the world through the Shu Road. 👀 Highlights of the exhibition 👉 Huge lineup - 66 exhibitors 👉Rich quantity - 430 pieces/set of Shu Road themed precious cultural relics 👉Heavy exhibits - 88 pieces/set of national first-class cultural relics 👉Comprehensive types - including bronze, gold and silver, jade, ceramics, lacquerware, calligraphy and painting, Shu embroidery, etc. 👉Across ancient and modern times - the exhibits date from the late Neolithic Age to the Republic of China, spanning more than 4,000 years Since the Warring States Period, the Shu Road has been built. It inherited the two major civilizations of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River and connected the North-South Silk Road. The ancient Shu Road in a narrow sense can generally be summarized as "four in the north and three in the south"↓ ▶The "Northern Four" are all roads that cross the Qinling Mountains and enter the Hanzhong Basin from the Guanzhong Plain. From west to east they are: Chencang Road (old road), Baoxie Road, Tangluo Road, and Ziwu Road; ▶The "Southern Three" are all roads that cross the Bashan Mountain and enter the Sichuan Basin from the Hanzhong Basin. From west to east they are: Jinniu Road, Micang Road, and Lizhi Road. As a Sichuanese "Nansan", I am quite familiar with the three roads. I personally went to Hanzhong last year and saw the thirteenth stone gate of Baoxie Road in the Hanzhong Museum. It was super shocking! These stone carvings record the evolution of Chinese characters. Shimen is also the first artificially dug mountain traffic tunnel in the world that can be opened to traffic. The wooden lacquer horses in Figure 1 are all carved from whole blocks of wood. They are all strong and energetic. The black lacquer and red background craftsmanship in many places on the horse's body are the unique symbols of Han Dynasty lacquerware. In Figure 6, a pair of bronze dragon-covered dragon-covered dragon-shaped dragon-covered dragon-shaped dragon-covered dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-covered dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped dragon-shaped 粽粽粽). One of them was unearthed in Zhuwa Street, Pengzhou, Chengdu. To different areas, one of them, Pengzhou Zhuwa Street, was introduced to Shu via Shu Road. Figure 12 is from the "Scroll of Difficulties in the Road to Shu" from the Forbidden City. It was painted by Zhang Hong, a master of painting in the Ming Dynasty. The left side depicts the natural dangers of the Road to Shu, while the right side has "The Road to Difficulty in Shu" written on it. Figure 13 is the "Scroll of Li Bai's Chant" by Zhang Daqian. It uses minimalist lines to outline the elegant and unrestrained style of the poet, with the breeze on his sleeves and his eyes slowly looking back. Figure 14 This three-year-old Xinghu was also exhibited at the "Chinese Characters in China" exhibition at Chengdu last year. The whole body of the Xinghu is decorated with wavy ring patterns, the edge of the lid and the foot of the circle are decorated with curved patterns, and there is an inscription of six crosses on the top of the lid. , mainly tells the story that Xingguo, in order to thank the King of Zhou for the reward, cast this pair of pots to record the emperor's kindness. 🖼️Exhibition name: Xiongguan Ancient Road, Longitude and Latitude of China - Heaven, Earth, People and the Chinese Spirit on the Shu Road 📅Time: 2024.07.28-2024.11.03 📍Address: Temporary Exhibition Hall 1/2/3 on the first floor of Sichuan Museum 🎫Tickets: Free❗️Reserve in advance

The special exhibition 'Xiongguan Ancient Road, Longitude and Latitude of China: Heaven, Earth, People, and Chinese Spirit on the Great Shu Road' is on display in the temporary exhibition hall on the first floor of the Sichuan Museum from July 28, 2024, to November 3. The Shu Road is an ancient grand road system carved out by human hands through the Qinba Mountains. It connects the Guanzhong Plain with the land of Bashu, creating a miracle in the history of world transportation. For thousands of years, the Shu Road has seen our ancestors cross countless mountains and valleys with fearless determination, overcoming difficulties and dangers. It has built a great cultural integration corridor between the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins. With the work of longitude and latitude, it opened up the southwest, connecting the northern Silk Road, the southern Silk Road, and even indirectly connecting the Maritime Silk Road, promoting exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese civilization and world civilizations. The Shu Road tells a moving story of cultural heritage and ecological protection: the wisdom and responsibility of road protectors, the romantic poetry of literati, the heroic spirit of generous and tragic heroes, and the magnificent and iterative history. It not only depicts the epic of the Chinese nation adapting to nature and striving for strength but also stands as a great witness to the historical process of the diverse unity of Chinese civilization!
