[2024 Changsha Attraction] Travel Guide for Hunan Museum (Updated Sep)

Changsha, Hunan, is the perfect place for a weekend getaway from south or central China. Changsha has three highlights for me: 1. The food 🌶️ 2. Hunan Provincial Museum 🏛️ 3. The Yuelu Academy ⛩️ Hunanese food, 湘菜, is fiery hot and exquisitely flavoured. Numerous restaurants serve barbecue, beef cooked with chilli peppers and other local specialities. It's also famous for its streetfood, particularly Changsha stinky tofu (choudoufu). I'm not a big fan but many people rave about it. Just follow the odour of an open sewer to find some 😆 The Hunan Provincial Museum is excellent. The main exhibit is the treasures excavated from a Han Dynasty tomb discovered near Hunan, including thousands of well preserved grave goods. The prize attraction is a unique 'wet mummy', the body of the wife of a local ruler, which was enbalmed using a chemical process preserving the soft tissue (unlike Egyptian mummies, for example, which are dried out.) The museum entrance and main exhibits are free but some temporary exhibits require a ticket. The Yuelu Academy (岳麓书院，Yuelu Shuyuan) is an ancient centre of higher learning. Dating back centuries, it became one of China's first modern universities, Hunan University. The original academy can be visited inside the Hunan University campus. Finally, Changsha is notable for its most famous son, Mao Zedong, who was born in a village outside Changsha city (Shaoshan). Orange Island, a long low island in the Xiang River that flows through Changsha, is a pleasant park home to a massive statue of the handsome young Mao's head. He stares down the river as if looking into the future. Orange Island is also the best place to appreciate Changsha's modern skyline, which is colourfully lit at night.🌃 On several main railway lines, Changsha is only a few hours from Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan and other major cities.🚄 #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #changsha #hunan #foodie #foodieheaven #streetfood #weekendgetaway #staycation #weekendtrip

old city must go to feel peace feel in the life

In addition to eating and eating in Changsha, the Hunan Provincial Museum is also not to be missed! Going to Xiangbo is mainly to visit two basic exhibitions - Hunan people - Sanxiang historical and cultural exhibitions and Mawangdui Han tombs. The exhibition hall is very large. It took me an afternoon to barely stroll through the two exhibitions, so if If you are interested in the museum, remember to reserve enough time! 1The Xiaoxiang Fair will provide free Chinese explanations at regular intervals. If you encounter a teacher in the hall, you may wish to stop and listen to it. There are also many multimedia interactive designs in the museum, especially the Mawangdui Han Tomb is close. The light projection show at the exit must not be missed. There is a one-to-one tomb restoration. The projected patterns are from T-shaped paintings and painted enamels. The sound effects on the scene are also great! 2Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9

Chinese Civilization in the Museum | Hunan Provincial Museum

The Hunan Provincial Museum is renowned for its vast collection of cultural relics, among which the artifacts unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tombs stand out as a unique highlight of the museum's core exhibits. Stepping into the exhibition hall feels like traveling through millennia, with each precious artifact coming into view: there is the delicate plain gauze robe, as light as a cicada's wing and crafted with exquisite skill, whose fineness is breathtaking; the brightly colored and well-preserved printed cotton robe, showcasing the superb textile techniques of the Han Dynasty; and the intricate embroidery, the glossy painted lacquerware, the vivid and meaningful painted silk banners, and the richly connotative silk manuscripts, all narrating the splendor and refinement of that era. In addition, the museum carefully preserves and displays the most astonishing find from the Mawangdui Han Tombs—a well-preserved female corpse and her internal organs, which have survived for millennia, along with a proportionally restored giant coffin, offering visitors a glimpse into the mysterious aspects of ancient burial culture. The basement also recreates the Mawangdui site, including the original appearance of Tomb Pit No. 3 and Mound No. 2, making visitors feel as if they are in an ancient tomb from a thousand years ago. The three Han tombs at Mawangdui have yielded over three thousand precious artifacts, most of which are in excellent condition, providing valuable material for the study of Han Dynasty history and culture. Particularly notable is the plain gauze robe, which is 1.28 meters long and weighs only 49 grams; its thinness and the advanced weaving techniques used still amaze people today. The silk manuscripts unearthed from Tomb No. 3 contain over 100,000 characters, including many lost ancient texts, which are of great significance for ancient academic research. The terrain map from Tomb No. 2, with its drawing techniques comparable to modern maps, is hailed as an outstanding representative of ancient map-making and has received high praise. These artifacts not only showcase the prosperity and civilization of Han society but also leave endless imagination and exploration space for future generations.

Hunan Museum

The most shocking are the cultural relics from Mawangdui and the remains of Lady Xin Zhui. The Mawangdui Han tombs were excavated three times from 1972 to 1974. The structure of the tombs is grand and complex, all three are rectangular vertical pit tombs with a ramp on the north side. The burial chambers were constructed at the bottom of the pits, and the bottoms and surroundings of the chambers were filled with charcoal and white plaster, then layered with soil and tamped down to seal them. Tomb number two belonged to Li Cang, the Marquis of Dai and the Chancellor of Changsha during the early Han Dynasty, tomb number one belonged to his wife, and tomb number three to his son. The tombs yielded more than 3,000 artifacts including a well-preserved female corpse, coffins, silk fabrics, silk manuscripts, silk paintings, lacquerware, and traditional Chinese medicinal herbs. The discovery of the Mawangdui Han tombs has provided important materials for the study of the early Han Dynasty burial system, the development of handicrafts and technology, and the history, culture, and social life of the Changsha state.

The Epic of Ancient Greek Civilization

Chapter Nine of Xianglong: The Prelude of Spring The Mythical Kingdom: The Glittering Aegean Sea—The Epic of Ancient Greek Civilization 🐬 Glory belongs to Greece, greatness to Rome. This phrase was the slogan I saw last May Day at the Suzhou Museum while appreciating the ancient Greek sculpture special exhibition from the British Museum. On this return trip, I made a special detour to the Hunan Museum, just to catch a glimpse of ancient Greece, a civilization as ancient as ours, with a splendid culture and a humanistic spirit that still influences us today. 🐬 The developmental process was similar; ancient Greece also slowly transitioned from a settlement form to a city-state nation form. From the Minoan civilization to the Mycenaean civilization, Greek civilization gradually emerged from primitive worship. The early Minoan civilization used marble to create simple ritual objects. By the wealthy Mycenaean civilization, gold was used extensively, much like how ancient China viewed death as life, the Greeks also placed a large number of gold masks, jewelry, gold belts, etc., in their tombs. Correspondingly, the Mycenaean civilization also colonized the Greek islands through powerful military force. 🐬 After hundreds of years of the Dark Ages, came the most splendid classical city-state period of human civilization. Athens and Sparta united in the Greco-Persian Wars to drive away the Persian invaders, but the Athenian states ultimately lost to Sparta in the Peloponnesian War, which was called the Great War of the ancient world. Nevertheless, the culture originating from ancient Egypt, through years of development in Greece, profoundly influenced ancient Rome, French Enlightenment thought, and even the posterity of today with its democracy, law, philosophy, science, opera, sculpture, architecture, etc. 🐬 Why didn't the Roman emperors inherit the throne in a hereditary manner like the dynasties of ancient China? It was actually due to the fear of the Senate and the democracy ingrained in the hearts of all citizens. Even Augustus, who was in fact the founder of the Empire, did not dare to openly claim the title of emperor. And this democracy, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, was nurtured by Athens. Today's jury system in the European and American legal systems can also find its predecessor in ancient Greece. 🐬 The Greek gods permeated people's lives, reflected in various art forms, the most intuitive of which are sculptures and painted pottery. Mythological figures were the embodiment of the spiritual life of the Greeks, embodying their highest aspirations. 🐬 During the Hellenistic period, the Kingdom of Macedonia under Philip II and Alexander the Great, through painstaking management and campaigns, established a powerful kingdom. The entire territory was deeply influenced by Greek civilization, even spreading far to the East, as evidenced by the Gandhara Buddha statues, the Roman columns in the Bingyang Cave of the Longmen Grottoes, and the colonnade-style caves of the Yungang Grottoes. Greek culture is indeed the cradle of Western civilization. 🐬 Special thanks to: Hunan Museum, National Archaeological Museum of Greece, Acropolis Museum, Olympia Archaeological Museum, Mycenae Archaeological Museum, etc. 🇨🇳 Engage in dialogue with world history, explore human civilization

Tang Dynasty Fashion Guide for Beauties: Dressing in men's clothing and foreign attire!

During the Tang Dynasty, the fashion of wearing short-sleeved and short-sticky tops with trailing long skirts prevailed for a long time. After the height of the Tang Dynasty, the trend shifted to wide and dragging garments, with skirts trailing four to five inches on the ground. The custom of draping a shawl over the shoulders originated from the Persian region. Moreover, wearing men's clothing and foreign attire was also a fashion for women in the Tang Dynasty. Princess Taiping often wore men's clothing, described as 'a purple shirt, a jade belt, and a black gauze turban folded on top'. Wearing a foreign shirt with a turned-down collar, narrow sleeves, and soft boots was more conducive to engaging in various equestrian sports. The use of floral hairpins in the Tang Dynasty had strict hierarchical regulations. As part of the attire for noblewomen, it was generally in a set of two pieces. The first rank had nine floral hairpins; the second rank had eight; the third rank had seven. Eyebrow shapes in the Tang Dynasty were diverse, with common styles including crescent brows, willow brows, distant mountain brows, character 'eight' brows, and cloud-brushing brows. The raw materials for floral face decorations were very rich, including gold foil, paper, fish scales, pearls, mica, and more.

Hunan Provincial Museum

Hunan Provincial Museum is definitely worth a visit, remember to book online in advance! The architectural design of the Hunan Museum is inspired by the 'Prosperous Dongting', starting from the image, momentum, and cultural connotation of the Ding (ancient Chinese cauldron), transforming into the new museum's architectural appearance. At the same time, the top of the building is shaped like a crystal of water, symbolizing the solidification and sublimation of the Dongting Lake surrounded by the three Xiang rivers and four waters, implying the condensed culture of Hunan. It symbolizes the dialogue between the historical culture around Dongting and contemporary society, highlighting the profound cultural heritage of Hunan. The new museum's exterior is shaped in a three-hall style, with an overall layout that is symmetrical, concise, unified, and stable, symbolizing Hunan's profound historical heritage, the innovative and open present, and the rising and soaring future. It also implies that the Hunan Museum carries the heavy responsibility of inheriting and innovating history and culture, leading the future development of Hunan's cultural and museum affairs!

Barbecue, fine wine and delicacies, the top-notch life of Lady Xin Zhui in Hunan Province

Hunan Provincial Museum has always been popular, it's hard to make a reservation, especially during holidays It can be said that Lady Xin Zhui alone supports the entire museum Before you go, you can learn some background, and after you go, remember to listen to the explanation ‼️Mawangdui: the family tomb of Li Cang, the prime minister and wheel marquis of Changsha Kingdom in the early Western Han Dynasty 💡Mawangdui Tomb No.2: Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha Kingdom *Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty and sealed six kings of different surnames, among which Prime Minister Li Cang was one 💡Mawangdui Tomb No.1: The wife of Li Cang, the prime minister of Changsha Kingdom, Lady Xin Zhui, 50 years old 💡Mawangdui Tomb No.3: Li Xun, the son of Lady Xin Zhui, in his 30s 👩Lady Xin Zhui (217 BC - 168 BC) Her body was 154 cm tall and weighed 34 kg She loved to eat meat, drink alcohol, and eat all kinds of melons, fruits, wine, rice... She suffered from gallstones, coronary heart disease, systemic arteriosclerosis, and a history of bloodsucking and other diseases during her lifetime😅After the autopsy, it was found that she had eaten 138 melon seeds, which was too much This caused the gallbladder to push the stone into the duodenum, inducing coronary heart disease, and she died... 📚Historical legend Since there is no record of Xin Zhui's identity in the history books, historians can only guess that she was the wife of Changsha's prime minister Li Cang. Judging from the depth of Xin Zhui's tomb, her rank is even higher than that of the prince, indicating that her identity is extraordinary; such a high-ranking person is not recorded in the history books, which also shows that her identity is very special. At the same time, the "Historical Records" found that the entire book only has one sentence about the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, experts speculate that Xin Zhui is the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, but for some reasons, her identity could not be made public at that time. ❤️Highlights of Lady Xin Zhui Lotus root soup (unfortunately due to poor protection leading to oxidation, there are pictures on site) Gauze clothes (as thin as cicada wings, weighing less than 1 liang, modern technology can't do it) Lacquer ear cup (there are four kinds of "wine" in the "wine cabinet", namely white wine, rice wine, warm wine, rib wine, you can see the three words "Jun Xing Jiu" on the wine cup) Painted coffin (complex and varied cloud patterns and various gods, monsters and beasts) Mummy of Lady Xin Zhui (you can see it very clearly, but you can't take pictures)

Finally seeing you, I'm glad I didn't give up

Last year, on a whim, I suddenly visited Changsha, wanting to pay homage to Xin Zhui. But I underestimated her charm, and couldn't get a ticket on a whim. So last year, I left with disappointment. But she seemed to have some kind of magic that made me think about her all year round. This year, I came in the snow, without regrets, and finally arrived at the Hunan Provincial Museum. I still chose to live next to the museum, and it only takes two minutes to walk to the museum. I left the house unhurriedly, but to my surprise, the queue had already lined up a kilometer away before the doors even opened. As a history worker, I am truly happy that the museum is loved by the people. But as a visitor, I selfishly hope that there are fewer people, even fewer, so that I can quietly reminisce and reflect. After entering the museum, I went straight to the Mawangdui exhibition hall on the third floor, and rushed forward without stopping, after seeing the famous silk books and plain clothes, I finally arrived at the tomb. The museum has turned the entire tomb into a large projection light show, which is extremely shocking. After taking several elevators down, I finally arrived at the body of Lady Xin Zhui. After a thousand years of vicissitudes, she lay there quietly. After the archaeologists excavated, they dissected the body and found that she had many diseases. How much value she has provided for archaeology! Through the excavation of the Mawangdui tomb in the Western Han Dynasty, we can explore the people's clothing, food, shelter, and transportation, aesthetic beliefs, clothing preferences, medical technology in the early Western Han Dynasty, she has given us too much... The subsequent Aegean civilization special exhibition, Yangshao culture special exhibition and the Hunan characteristic Hunan people special exhibition, I watched them all with satisfaction. After checking in at the coffee shop, I reluctantly left. The check-in of museums in various provinces in China is still ongoing, and my steps have never stopped.

National Series 91 Changsha Hunan Provincial Museum

🌈Historical Background: Hunan is one of the areas in China where museums appeared earlier. In 1897, the Chenzhou Society established the Chenzhou Society Museum, but unfortunately, it was short-lived due to the failure of the Hundred Days' Reform. In March 1951, the Hunan Provincial Museum Preparatory Office was established in Baiqinyuan, Liufangling, Changsha. On November 29, 2017, the new museum of Hunan Provincial Museum officially opened to the public, and on July 30, 2022, the Hunan Provincial Museum officially announced its name change to Hunan Museum. 🚗Highlights: National 4A level scenic spot, the first batch of national first-class museums, with more than 180,000 cultural relics in its collection, especially the cultural relics unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, Shang and Zhou bronzes, Chu cultural relics, ceramics from past dynasties, calligraphy and painting, and modern and contemporary cultural relics are the most distinctive. 🎫Ticket Information: Free admission, advance reservation, closed on Mondays. About 10 minutes walk from Xiangya Hospital Station on Metro Line 6. ✨Tour Suggestions: The provincial museum in Changsha is a must-visit, because the most famous here is the wife of Licang, Lady Xin Zhui. If you want to see Lady Xin Zhui, you need to walk a long way, a bit like walking down the tomb passage all the way. When you get to the bottom, you will see Lady Xin Zhui lying in the glass below, which feels a bit like Mary Magdalene in the Louvre in The Da Vinci Code. In addition, photography is prohibited for Lady Xin Zhui, and there will be staff to stop it.

The Mawangdui Han Tomb Exhibition is the basic display of the museum. There are thin, fluffy plain yarns, undamaged printed silk robes, delicately embroidered embroidery, bright new painted enamel paintings and exquisitely carved wooden maids. There are so many silk fabrics and embroidery works unearthed in Mawangdui Han Tomb. It is no wonder that ancient China was recognized by the world as the "source of silk". I think that the colorful and beautiful Xiang embroidery is probably a kind of inheritance and revival of the dazzling glory of the silk powers.
