Shocking! My great beauty is Nanyang!

I was born in Nanyang and grew up in Nanyang. As an out-and-out Nanyang person, I always feel that my understanding of Nanyang is really too little. In the past two years, I have watched the Peasant Games being held at my doorstep, watched the World Rose Garden bloom brilliantly on the land of Nanyang, watched the high-speed rail station greatly shortened the time and space distance between Nanyang and other places, watched the three pavilions and one hospital - - The landmark buildings of Nanyang have unveiled their mysterious veil. Looking at the flowers, grass and parks in the streets and alleys, every bit of them shows the infinite style and boundless charm of our beautiful Nanyang.

I am increasingly aware that “livable” Nanyang is really livable! The beautiful Nanyang is truly worthy of its name!

Take a break from your busy schedule to see the sunshine and the boundless spring scenery. You can take your children to visit the three museums and one courtyard to experience the profound historical, cultural and artistic atmosphere of our beautiful Nanyang.

Nanyang Museum, Nanyang Library, Nanyang Cultural Center, and Nanyang Grand Theater are lined up, standing tall and majestic.

Nanyang Museum has a rich sense of history.

Nanyang Library, the smell of books rushes towards you.

Nanyang Cultural Center demonstrates the rich culture of Nanyang.

Nanyang Grand Theater is full of artistic atmosphere.

It’s hard to look past such a grand and generous building with three museums and one hospital. Let’s first understand the past and present life of our beautiful Nanyang. Naturally, the first choice is the Nanyang City Museum - Nanyang’s "urban cultural living room" "Here."

Find a parking spot, open the car door, and through the pink cherry blossoms and red-leaf heather, the Nanyang Museum is waiting.

Isn't this just "a half-acre square pond opens with a mirror"? The flat black terrazzo, shallow water flow, surrounding pebbles of various colors, and gurgling water symbolize that the culture of our beautiful Nanyang has a long history and will never stop.

Looking to the north, the museum and cultural center are adjacent to each other.

As soon as I stepped into the museum, I was shocked by the giant reliefs on the wall. We can vaguely distinguish the scenes of Confucius and his disciples lecturing in "Zi Lu, Zeng Xi, Ran You, and Gong Xihua Sitting", the armillary sphere of science sage Zhang Heng, the seismograph, "Er Capital Fu", and the scene of Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang three times on the mountain. , the thrilling story of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's campaigns in the south and north and the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty... The anecdotes of famous people related to Nanyang can be seen at a glance.

On the wall on the left is a giant relief sculpture of Nuwa Fuxi in Han Dynasty. Han culture indeed exudes everlasting charm in the entire Chinese culture.

Climb up the stairs and come to the paleontology exhibition hall to see Louis Beibei - the fossil restoration of Beibeisaurus sinensis, the dinosaur skeleton fossil of Nanyangosaurus from Zhuge, the restoration of Zhang's Xixiaonychusaurus, Henan Baobao Tianman dinosaur restoration map.

Through each picture, we learned that the distant ancestors of human beings lived in the Paleolithic Age of human history from 3 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago. At that time, Nanyang had a warm and humid climate and rich animal species. , providing a suitable place for ancient humans to thrive. The ancestors here used tools such as stone tools and bones to work, and learned to use fire for simple food processing.

After entering the Neolithic Age, pottery technology has developed significantly. The clay strip building method was the most widely used and longest-lasting pottery molding technique during this period. The wheel-making method witnessed the increasingly sophisticated pottery making techniques, and the existence of sacrificial pits indicates that there may have been primitive religious beliefs at that time.

History entered the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and Nanyang was the ruins of the southern lands and Xia people of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. After the enfeoffment system was implemented, the Nanyang country emerged. The hometown of the E Kingdom was roughly near the present Shiqiao Town in Nanyang, and the country was founded at the end of the Shang Dynasty. It turns out that the place where I studied in elementary school and junior high school was actually where the country of E was in ancient times! If you had not walked into the museum, how would you know that Nanyang, the great beauty in history, has already been famous far and wide!

In the early Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State began the process of expanding its territory northward. The Nanyang area bordering the north was undoubtedly the primary strategic target. After the conquests of King Wen and King Wu of Chu, the entire territory of Nanyang entered the territory of Chu State. .

During the Han Dynasty, Nanyang was at the core of politics, economy and culture. Politically, a group of foreign politicians represented by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu formed the main body of the ruling regime of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Nanyang was known as the "Imperial Township". ""Southern Capital"; economically, Nanyang's agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce prospered, and it became an important metropolis, known as "business spread all over the world, and wealth is the best in the world"; culturally, Nanyang has a gathering of cultures from all over the world, with various schools of thought gathering together, literature and art flourishing, science and technology The culture is developed and famous in China. It can be called the land of Longxing, Guhuwang County, and the Imperial Township of the Southern Capital.

Especially standing in front of the beautiful pictures of the seismograph, armillary sphere, Hou Fengyi and compass, I truly understood the profound connotation behind the four words "Wen Jing Zhi Wei".

The wheel of history came to the period of the Three Kingdoms, Two Jins, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when political power in the Central Plains was turbulent and wars were frequent. Nanyang is located in a strategic location and has become a stage and battlefield for various political forces to compete. The cultures of the north and south gather here, and many famous political, military and ideological figures stand out. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the political situation was stable, and Nanyang reappeared the prosperous scene of "high buildings facing purple roads, and Jia Di connected with green mountains". During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Nanyang was the first to bear the brunt of the confrontation between the North and the South. Both the North and South regimes used Nanyang as an important area for development. The economic and cultural level continued to improve.

No wonder Nanyang has always been called a geomantic treasure land.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Nanyang enjoyed a special political status and was an important economic pillar of the country. During the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, Nanyang was in the confrontation zone between the Song, Jin, and Song-Yuan wars. The politics, economy, and culture suffered serious trauma, and the population dropped sharply. After the unification of the Yuan Dynasty, immigrants entered Nanyang and encouraged farmers and merchants to teach, and Nanyang's economy was restored and restored. develop. This period can be called "the prosperity of Wangjun".

The large number of unearthed cultural relics is proof.

In the Ming Dynasty, Nanyang was called the "thorough of nine provinces", with developed water and land transportation, ships from the south and horses from the north, and prosperous business travel. It was the main north-south material distribution center. There is a gathering of humanities and numerous academies here, giving birth to Nanyang’s tradition of advocating literature and education. The construction of the Tang Dynasty's palace in Nanyang in the Ming Dynasty and the construction of Plum Blossom City in the Qing Dynasty formed the unique Nanyang urban pattern and left behind the rich connotations of ancient urban architecture.

We walked slowly and marveled all the way. My daughter and I were deeply engrossed in watching and appreciating the prizes. My daughter was even more excited as we walked and said that she had learned about this content in the textbook, and the picture was very familiar to her. It appeared in the exam questions. After all... my son and niece were young after all, so they finished browsing early, and my husband and sister-in-law waited for us in the square downstairs for a long time before we finally came down satisfied.

If we hadn’t walked in here, how would we have known that our roots in Nanyang are so deeply rooted in the heart of this fertile Chinese land? How many scenes of heavy damage and recovery, prosperity and progress are taking place here? Once upon a time, Nanyang was a land of treasures and outstanding people. Today, Nanyang is blooming with beauty and is ecologically livable.

When I walked out of the museum, I was extremely shocked. I am deeply impressed by the beauty of Nanyang!

I am proud to be from Nanyang.
