As the year draws to a close, Liaoning Museum has launched a new exhibition. I happened to be nearby, so I scanned the code to enter the museum. It was very smooth. At around 2 pm, the museum was crowded. I found out that the new exhibition was on the third floor, and it was indeed the most popular, with a long queue. I only took a rough record next to it, and I will take a closer look when I have the chance. The paintings of the Goddess of the Luo River, the Return to the Fields, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove, and the Origin of the Dharma Realm are all classics worth learning about and appreciating.

Liaoning Museum has a new exhibition! I haven't been there for more than half a year. I heard that the original Ode to the Nymph of the Luo River is on display. I must go and see it! 🅿️Parking First of all, parking has changed, and it's no longer free! You need to go to the parking lot across the street, which costs CNY 4 per hour. But if you're brave, you can park on the side of the road, but you might get a ticket. 😂 🌿Exhibition ✅The Leju exhibition on the first floor is really beautiful. It's an oil painting exhibition by Chinese-American artist Hou Ning. The colors are particularly beautiful and photogenic! ✅The Dreamland exhibition on the first floor has a very ancient style. If you're interested in art, you can consider it! ✅The Fengshen Youyi exhibition on the third floor has the original Ode to the Nymph of the Luo River! You need to queue to see the Ode to the Nymph of the Luo River, so you can queue first! There are also various ancient portraits that are really beautiful! ✅The Mountains and Rivers exhibition on the third floor is about the history and culture of the Liao and Jin dynasties. It shows what we used to use here, like tombs! ✨ There are some new exhibitions that hadn't started when I went. There are a lot of people at Liaoning Museum now. Because the virus is a bit serious now, I suggest wearing a mask! You can check other notes for more information. Oh, and there's a place to get stamps! You can bring your own notebook!

In recent years, it's been a blessing to visit museums in China, with so many exhibitions to see. There are also many foreign exhibits, allowing you to experience the customs of different places without leaving home. "When the Stars Shine" is an exhibition on Victorian art in the UK, jointly organized by the Liaoning Provincial Museum and the National Museums Liverpool. 🖼️🖼️🖼️🖼️ One moment you're wandering through ancient Liaoning, and the next you're transported to Liverpool. It's amazing. "Deer in the Forest" is so beautiful, with the tranquility of nature and the vitality of life. "Madeleine After Prayer" is also stunning, with perfect lighting and atmosphere.

Shenyang, Liaoning Provincial Museum, free admission, no reservation required|||Shenyang Liaoning Provincial Museum There are so many exhibits I mainly wanted to learn about the history of Liaoning, so I went straight to the third floor. There are five pavilions in the Ancient Liaoning Exhibition, but the Tang and Song Pavilion was closed, so I visited four pavilions and the Liao and Jin Dynasty Cultural Relics Exhibition. From the prehistoric period, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties, the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Tang, Song, Liao, and Jin Dynasties, and the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, each period is introduced in detail. I only learned during this visit that the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty were both Jurchen. Nurhaci's original name for the Qing Dynasty was the Later Jin Dynasty, and it was Hong Taiji who changed it to the Qing Dynasty. Since ancient times, Liaoning has been a region where multiple ethnic groups coexist and interact, with Mongolians, Jurchens, Khitans, and others appearing in succession. Therefore, the Liaoning Provincial Museum devotes more space to introducing its history. Cao Cao's northern expedition also came to this area, which was quite a long journey. Liaoning Provincial Museum is the first museum established after the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was established on July 7, 1949, and was originally named the Northeast Museum. In 1959, it was renamed the Liaoning Provincial Museum. In 2008, it was rated as a national first-class museum, and in 2009, it was listed as a national museum jointly built by the central and local governments. The new Liaoning Provincial Museum is divided into five areas: exhibition, visitor service, cultural relics storage, cultural relics protection, and comprehensive business. The exhibition area is divided into three floors, with 22 modern exhibition halls. The museum has nearly 120,000 cultural relics, including tens of thousands of precious cultural relics, mainly archaeological artifacts and historical and artistic relics from the Liaoning region, divided into 20 categories, including calligraphy, painting, silk embroidery, bronze, and ceramics.

📍Explore the cultural treasures of Liaoning, a must-visit destination on your Shenyang journey—Liaoning Provincial Museum! Located at No. 157, Wisdom Three Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang, this comprehensive museum is not only honored as a national first-class museum but is also one of the eight major museums jointly built by the central and local governments. Here, it is also the leading calligraphy and painting treasury in the nation, with a rich collection that is breathtaking. 🏛️Liaoning Provincial Museum carries a profound historical heritage, being the first museum to greet China's land. Its predecessor dates back to the Northeast Museum, which opened on July 7, 1949. Even earlier, in 1931, it was once the Mukden Branch of the National Museum of the Republic of China. Through the changes of time, it has undergone renaming, expansion, and relocation, and finally, on May 16, 2015, the new Hunnan branch of the Liaoning Provincial Museum officially opened to the public, and by the end of 2016, it fully revealed its mysteries to the public. 🌈The museum has three floors with 22 exhibition halls, 14 of which are permanently open, displaying historical treasures to visitors; there are also 8 temporary exhibition halls, with changing exhibits periodically, bringing a sense of freshness to each visit. 🔍Due to the rich exhibits in the museum, it is recommended that visitors plan ahead, understand the distribution and themes of each floor, so as to more accurately appreciate the desired exhibits. Personally, I started from the third floor and visited each floor from top to bottom. Although it took a whole day, there were still many exhibits that I only glanced at briefly. 🏰The 'Ancient Liaoning' series displayed on the third floor is divided into five exhibition halls and can be called the essence of the museum. Here, with time as the axis, it starts from the origin of human civilization in Liaoning and narrates until the end of the Qing Dynasty, including five parts: the prehistoric period, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the Warring States to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Liao and Jin periods, and the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, presenting a series of vivid historical scrolls to visitors. 🎎The second floor focuses on displaying ancient Chinese bronze mirrors, currency, Liao dynasty ceramics, Manchu folklore, imperial seals from various dynasties, and Buddhist statues, each carrying a profound historical and cultural connotation. 🏺The first floor mainly exhibits ancient Chinese steles, Ming and Qing jade, and porcelain, allowing one to feel as if they are traveling through time and conversing with the ancients. 💔However, it is slightly regrettable that some of the most precious collections in the museum, such as Zhang Xu's 'Four Posts of Ancient Poetry in Cursive Script', Zhou Fang's 'Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers', Zhang Xuan's 'Spring Outing of the Lady of Guo', Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty's 'Thousand Characters in Cursive Script' and 'Auspicious Cranes', and Ouyang Xun's 'Dream Stele', are not on display every day, and one can only look forward to seeing their true form on the next visit. 🕰️The opening hours of Liaoning Provincial Museum vary with the seasons. From April 1 to October 31, the opening hours are from 9:00 to 17:00 (entry stops at 16:30); from November 1 to March 31, the hours are adjusted to 9:00 to 16:30 (entry stops at 16:00). Please note that the museum is closed every Monday (except for national statutory holidays) and also on New Year's Eve. Visitors are advised to plan their visit in advance.

During the Edo period, people's interests shifted towards contemporary fashion and customs, and a large number of ukiyo-e, which depicted various aspects of life, emerged, later becoming synonymous with Japanese painting. Ukiyo-e evolved from Japanese genre painting, influenced by the native 'Yamato-e' as well as drawing nourishment from Song and Yuan dynasty paintings, Ming and Qing dynasty prints, and related ancient texts from China. In its later stages, it also incorporated Western painting techniques such as perspective, becoming one of the most influential art forms in modern Japan. Early ukiyo-e art, known as 'nikuhitsu ukiyo-e', was hand-painted by the artists themselves, primarily featuring aristocratic themes. Later, Iwasa Matabei introduced popular fashions into painting subjects. Hishikawa Moronobu was influenced by Ming and Qing prints, combining printmaking with painting, which led ukiyo-e from hand-painting to mass production. This also resulted in a large number of printed color woodblock prints, known as 'nishiki-e'. Utagawa Hiroshige, Katsushika Hokusai, and Kitagawa Utamaro are known as the 'Three Great Masters of Ukiyo-e'. Utagawa Kuniyoshi became famous for his 'Heroes of Suikoden' series, sparking an unprecedented craze for warrior prints. Kitagawa Utamaro gained fame for his paintings of beauties, touching the hearts of worldly wanderers. Ogata Gekko was a self-taught artist whose painting style blended modern sensibility and technique. In the mid-19th century West, the artistic style of ukiyo-e propelled the painting movement from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism. Masters like Monet and Van Gogh copied ukiyo-e and drew inspiration from it. In the world of fleeting pleasures, only art and love should never be betrayed.

When traveling to a province and city, the first thing to see is the museum, to understand the history, geography, and cultural evolution. Only then can you appreciate other individual attractions with a sense of history and cultural charm. To understand the Northeast, start with these museums. The border of the Liao Dynasty once reached today's Datong in Shanxi, an area that is beyond imagination. Even influenced by Han culture, the Liao Dynasty adopted two different governance methods, including those that inherited Han cultural governance concepts. Chinese civilization transcends regions and ethnicities, belonging to a category of universal civilization.
