A one-day city walk in Wenzhou was very satisfying! In the morning, I experienced local history and culture at the Wenzhou Museum, and was impressed by the impressive exhibits. Afterwards, I strolled around the Trade Center Building and enjoyed the scenery where modern buildings and traditional streetscapes coexist. On the way, I enjoyed taking photos of the unique old buildings and modern cafes on Wuma Street, and enjoyed local cuisine for lunch. In the afternoon, I took a break at the quiet and comfortable Jiangxin Temple, and was soothed by the peaceful atmosphere. Wenzhou is a city where history and modernity coexist in harmony, and just walking around there is a lot of new discoveries. Next time I want to explore even deeper! #trip #solotravel #chinatrip #Wenzhou #ZhejiangProvince

Of the many exhibition halls in the museum, the first one I entered was the History Hall. With the theme of "Wenzhou People", the hall vividly showcases the development of Wenzhou from ancient times to the modern era through four sections: "The Kingdom of Dong'ou", "Dong'ou under the Central Dynasty", "After the Opening of the Port", and "Today's Wenzhou". Looking at the precious cultural relics and historical photos, I felt as if I had traveled through time and witnessed the great changes in Wenzhou with my own eyes. Next, I went to the Painting and Calligraphy Hall. The works on display here are mainly fine paintings and calligraphy from the museum's collection, supplemented by excellent works by Wenzhou painters and calligraphers from various periods. I stopped in front of the exquisite paintings and calligraphy works, savoring the charm and artistic conception of the brush and ink. The long scroll of calligraphy from the Tang Dynasty, the works of Ren Daoxun and Wang Shouren from the Ming Dynasty, and the paintings of Zhu Da and Hua Yan from the Qing Dynasty all fascinated me and made me linger. The Ceramics Hall also left a deep impression on me. The exhibition is divided into sections according to the development of ceramics, showcasing the evolution of Wenzhou ceramics from ancient times to the modern era. The exquisite celadon works of Ou Kiln, with their unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship, made me feel the wisdom and craftsmanship of ancient craftsmen.

From August 9 to November 15, Wenzhou Museum planned a temporary exhibition titled "When Dong'ou Meets Qiuci", bringing the feast of Qiuci culture thousands of miles away to our eyes, allowing us to feast our eyes on the culture of the Western Regions. Qiuci (Pinyin: qiū cí, Sanskrit: Kucina) is one of the Western Regions countries on the Silk Road and the most shining one among these many pearls. As an important country in ancient China's Western Regions, it is not only an important hub on the Silk Road, but also a witness to the cultural exchange and integration between the East and the West. 👀The exhibition is arranged in the temporary exhibition hall on the third floor of Wenbo. As soon as you enter the door, you can see a breathtaking scene. Here is a cave that has been restored one-to-one based on the appearance of the Qiuci Grottoes. 👀Standing in this cave, above your head, in front, behind, and around you are all covered with various murals. These murals are all printed using high-definition inkjet printing, with the highest degree of detail. 👀‼ ️It is particularly worth mentioning that an interactive area has been set up in the exhibition, allowing the audience to "hear with their own ears" the performance of ancient Kucha music and "witness with their own eyes" the graceful Kucha dance. This immersive experience will undoubtedly make this cultural journey more vivid and profound. The second half of the exhibition hall displays cultural relics from Wenzhou, one of the hubs of the Maritime Silk Road. Dong'ou and Qiuci were echoed here. "When Dong'ou meets Qiuci" is not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual baptism. It gives tourists in Wenzhou the opportunity to get close to that distant history.

Coinciding with the Encounter between Dong'ou and Kucha—Cultural Symphony on the Silk Road exhibition officially opening at the temporary exhibition hall of Wenzhou Museum. This exhibition brings together more than 80 exhibits, including modern mural reproductions and artifacts made of ceramics, paper, metal, coins, bricks, and tiles, as well as modern arts and crafts. It connects the cultural exchange and dialogue between Kucha and Dong'ou, the land and maritime Silk Road civilizations, and the inheritance and innovation of the Silk Road spirit in modern times. 2024 marks the tenth anniversary of the successful transnational application for the World Heritage status of the 'Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor.' The spirit of the Silk Road still shines brightly today. The ancient city of Kucha and Wenzhou Dou City, located at the eastern and western ends of mainland China, respectively, serve as important transportation hubs of the land and maritime Silk Roads, witnessing the symbiosis and prosperity of ancient civilizations through exchange and mutual learning. To further deepen the paired construction between Wenzhou City and Baicheng County, the launch of this Silk Road-themed exhibition strengthens the cultural ties between Wenzhou and Baicheng, supporting the Strong City Initiative and enriching the cultural and happy Wenzhou.

Wenzhou Museum is located on Jinjiang Road, Lucheng District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a comprehensive local museum founded in 1958 and its original site was on Jiangxin Island. In 2003, the new museum located on the west side of Century Square was completed and officially opened to the public. The new museum has a total investment of 160 million yuan, a construction area of ​​26,000 square meters, and a total exhibition area of ​​12,000 square meters. The first thing that catches your eye when you enter the museum hall is a huge dragon boat model, which is very gorgeous. On the left side of the gate is the History Museum. From the theme of the exhibition: "Wenzhou People - A Story of Survival and Development", we can see that the history of Wenzhou is more like a history of struggle and development of Wenzhou people. Wenzhou people: a story of survival and development”, we can see that the history of Wenzhou is more like a history of struggle and development of Wenzhou people. Here you can see stone tools unearthed locally during the Neolithic Age, the deeds of representative Wenzhou literati such as Wang Xizhi and Xie Lingyun, the restored Wanyao model, the rickshaws of that time, the last Fiat, and the stories of Wenzhou merchants expanding around the world.

Since the Tang and Song dynasties, Wenzhou has been famous for its production of lacquerware. During the Song Dynasty, large-scale production workshops were formed, with both production and sales thriving, and products were even exported overseas. The exquisite lacquer art has been passed down to later generations, giving rise to related crafts such as Ou sculpture, sandwiched lacquerware, and lacquer painting. Ou sculpture, evolved from the traditional lacquer art technique of piled lacquer, is known as the 'Oriental Three-Dimensional Oil Painting' and has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage. The piled lacquer technique, also known as 'piled door', involves creating patterns with lacquer putty. During the Song Dynasty, Wenzhou was the manufacturing center of Chinese lacquer art. The sutra and relic boxes unearthed from the Hui Guang Pagoda and the lacquer sculpted jewelry decorations on the Bodhisattva colored sculptures unearthed from the White Elephant Pagoda all demonstrate the superb skills of ancient Wenzhou craftsmen. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, Yongjia on the north bank of the Ou River had already begun producing primitive porcelain, which by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty had developed into true porcelain. Wenzhou Ou kiln, founded during the Eastern Han Dynasty, matured during the Jin Dynasties, and entered a prosperous period in the Northern Song Dynasty. Among them, Piao porcelain is a representative of southern celadon. The brown-colored celadon under the glaze from the Six Dynasties period is an important milestone in the history of ceramic development.

Ever since I don't know when, visiting a local museum has become an indispensable part of the itinerary whenever I go to a new place. This stop in Wenzhou, let's walk into —— Wenzhou Museum, and take a look at the past and present of Wenzhou. Wenzhou is not a very famous tourist destination, so compared to the competition for spots at other museums before departure, it's much calmer here. When I arrived at the museum on the day, I didn't feel that there were many people inside, allowing for a quiet enjoyment of this historical journey. Wenzhou Museum is not only a history museum but also a natural history museum. Here, you can not only learn about the historical changes of Wenzhou but also see the natural ecology of Wenzhou. It truly is a one-stop experience of the charm of this city. The museum has many exhibition halls, and it takes about 3-4 hours to carefully go around. If you get tired, you can find a chair to rest in the public areas inside the museum, or go to the museum's lounge to order a drink and enjoy some peaceful time.

Whenever there is a holiday, deciding where to go is always a dilemma 😮‍💨. I don't want to be in crowded places, nor do I want to exhaust myself just to buy a ticket. So, I open the map and start searching for a destination that is not 'popular' 🔍 This time, it's Wenzhou's turn. Wenzhou doesn't seem to be often associated with tourism, but indeed, tickets were easy to purchase, and I quickly snapped them up. Hotel prices were also reasonable; we chose a hotel near Wuma Road, and at less than 400 per night, it was totally acceptable. 🗓 Itinerary: This time, the focus was on a casual trip, so we didn't specifically plan any routes. We just listed some places we wanted to eat and play, and then went wherever we felt like. Occasionally giving up on meticulous planning and just enjoying a holiday is also a nice choice. After a round of exploration, Wenzhou is really delicious 😋. Wangji tofu pudding, glutinous rice, Runhefeng beef offal, I highly recommend all of these, they are incredibly tasty. Especially Wangji tofu pudding, which has no bean smell and is not as cloying as pudding or cream, it's refreshing, delicious, and guilt-free. I would visit Wenzhou again just for it.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, successive kings of Wuyue had a deep faith in Buddhism. Throughout their rule over Zhejiang, they built numerous pagodas, carved Buddhist scriptures, and constructed a countless number of temples and precious pagodas within their territory. In the Song Dynasty, Wenzhou leapt to prominence as an important commercial and trade city along the southeastern coast, rivaling the prosperity of Hangzhou, which was known as a paradise on earth. At this time, Buddhism also entered a golden age, "Narayana and his eight hundred disciples dwelled in the country of Chenla; now five hundred reside in Tiantai, and three hundred in Yandang." Many Buddhist practitioners followed in the footsteps of Indian monks to come to Wenzhou to practice and cultivate, and many famous monks emerged, making Wenzhou a major Buddhist center in the southeast. As the most important carriers of Buddhism, Buddhist architectures such as the Jingguang Temple Pagoda, White Elephant Pagoda, Huiguang Pagoda, Guo'an Temple Stone Pagoda, and the twin pagodas on Jiangxin Isle sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain, with over two hundred Buddhist pagodas standing tall on the land of Dong'ou. The White Elephant Pagoda is located on Tanghe riverside in Bai Xiang Street, Ouhai District, Wenzhou City. It was first constructed in the third year of Chongning during the Northern Song Dynasty (1104) and completed in the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115). The pagoda body has experienced 900 years of weathering and was nearly collapsing. In 1965, due to severe tilting of the pagoda, it was dismantled with the approval of the provincial government. During the demolition, cultural relic workers excavated a variety of iron, copper, porcelain, and wooden objects from the pagoda, as well as a large number of scriptures, paintings, sculptures, stone carvings, and other Northern Song Dynasty artifacts, totaling over a thousand items unearthed. Among them, the most numerous were Northern Song Dynasty painted clay Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, warriors, musicians, and offering stars, followed by Northern Song lacquerware, brick carvings, wood carvings, celadon, bronzeware, printed scriptures, handwritten scriptures, paintings, and Tang and Song Dynasty coins. The underground palace was empty, likely having been looted long ago. Among them, the 42 Northern Song Dynasty painted clay Buddhist statues unearthed from the niches in the pagoda body are the most valuable artistic treasures among the artifacts.

Wenzhou Museum is located in Century Square, Shifu Road, Lucheng District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and is a comprehensive local museum. The museum covers an area of about 26,000 square meters, with a total exhibition area of 12,000 square meters. The building is a standalone enclosed structure, with the entrance hall directly connected to the central circular courtyard hall, which is more than ten meters high and has walls inlaid with multiple giant copper relief works. Wenzhou Museum has more than 20,000 cultural relics, including ceramics, bronzes, colored sculptures, brick carvings, lacquerware, calligraphy and paintings among 20 categories. The collection highlights include the Ou kiln celadon gourd-shaped pot with lid, Ou kiln celadon cup-mouthed pot, Northern Song Dynasty colored sculpture of a Bodhisattva, manuscript of 'Zhou Li Zheng Yi' by Qing Dynasty's Sun Yirang, and the letter to Song Shu by Xia Zengyou from the modern era, among others. Wenzhou, formerly known as Dong'ou, has a long history and a rich cultural heritage. More than 5,000 years ago, our ancestors labored and lived on this land. Over 2,200 years ago, the King of Dong'ou governed and established his capital here. The Ou River, flowing between the mountain cities, has nurtured prosperity on both banks and witnessed the enduring and striving spirit of the people of Wenzhou over thousands of years. Wenzhou Museum's core exhibition hall is the History Hall, which showcases the 5,000-year historical footsteps of the 'Wenzhou people', and also includes six major exhibition halls: the Calligraphy and Painting Hall, the Ceramics Hall, the Natural History Hall, the Craft Hall, and the Temporary Exhibition Hall. The History Hall consists of four major sections: 'The Kingdom of Dong'ou', 'Dong'ou under the Central Dynasties', 'After the Port Opening', and 'Wenzhou Today'. The theme is 'The Story of Wenzhou People, a Tale of Survival and Development'. The Calligraphy and Painting Hall focuses on the museum's collection of fine calligraphy and paintings, supplemented by outstanding works of Wenzhou-born calligraphers and painters from various periods. The Ceramics Hall is arranged chronologically according to the development of ceramics, with the emergence, development, and decline of the Ou kiln as the main thread of the exhibition. The theme of the Craft Hall is 'The Story of the White Elephant Pagoda'. In 1965, the White Elephant Pagoda, built during the Northern Song Dynasty and severely tilted, was dismantled. Unexpectedly, despite the underground palace having been looted, over a thousand exquisite Song Dynasty cultural relics were still discovered within the walls of the pagoda. In 2004, Wenzhou Museum was named a provincial-level patriotic education base, and in May 2009, it was rated as a national second-level museum. On May 18, 2017, it was promoted to the third batch of national first-level museums. 📍Detailed address: Century Square, Shifu Road, Lucheng District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Opening hours: 09:00—17:00 Ticket price: Free ⏳Time reference: 2 hours

The theme is "Wenzhou People" and the subtitle is "A story of survival and development". The current territory of Wenzhou City was formerly Oudi, also known as Dong'ou. In the first year of Taining (323 AD), a county was established, namely Yongjia County. According to legend, when the county city was built, a white deer flew around the city with a flower in its beak, hence the name Lucheng. In the second year of Shangyuan (675 AD), it was called Wenzhou, and it has a history of more than 2,000 years. Wenzhou is an important commercial city and regional center city on the southeast coast approved by the State Council. Wenzhou is a national historical and cultural city and is known as "the most beautiful mountains and rivers in the southeast". Wenzhou is the pioneer of China's private economy, the cradle of Chinese mathematicians, the hometown of Chinese southern opera, and the shoe capital of China. Wenzhou people are called the Oriental Jews by the Chinese people. It is a frontier of reform and opening up, with the Wenzhou Financial Comprehensive Reform Pilot Zone, and is one of the first 14 coastal open cities in China. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, Wenzhou belonged to Dong'ou of the Baiyue. In the seventh year of King Wei of Chu (333 BC), King Wei of Chu defeated the State of Yue and killed King Wujiang of Yue. Some of the Yue people moved to Dong'ou and settled there. In the 37th year of Emperor Qin Shihuang's reign (221 BC), King Zheng of Qin unified China and divided the world into 36 counties, among which Wenzhou belonged to Minzhong County. In the third year of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty (192 BC), Emperor Hui Liu Ying established Zou Yao as the King of Donghai and made Dong'ou his capital. Wenzhou belonged to the Donghai Kingdom (commonly known as the Dong'ou Kingdom). In the third year of Jianyuan (138 BC), the Dong'ou Kingdom was destroyed. In the second year of the Yuanshi reign (85 BC), it belonged to Huipu County of Kuaiji County. In the third year of Yongchu in the Southern Dynasties (422 AD), Xie Lingyun was demoted to Ning Yongjia. He traveled to various counties and wrote many poems, becoming the originator of landscape poetry. In the second year of Shangyuan reign of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty (675 AD), Chuzhou was separated to establish Wenzhou, which was the beginning of the name of Wenzhou. According to the "Zhejiang General History" citing the "Illustrated Book": "Wenzhou is located in the west of Wenyao, and the people there mostly use fire to farm, so it is always hot even in the dead of winter." It means that Wenzhou is located in the south of Wenyaoling Mountain. It has neither severe cold in winter nor scorching heat in summer and has a mild climate, so it is called Wenzhou. Wenzhou City is famous for its papermaking, shipbuilding, shoes and leather, embroidery, and lacquerware in history. It is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese celadon. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it became an important port town and was opened as a foreign trade port by the imperial court. During the Southern Song Dynasty, maritime trade was particularly developed. It was one of the four major seaports and is still the throat for the import and export of goods in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian. Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty described the terrain of Wenzhou in his "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as "Ou in the sea", which is one of the earliest written records about "Ou". According to the research of Sun Yirang, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, "Ou" was used in the Xia Dynasty, "Ou" was used in the Shang Dynasty, and "Ou" was used in the Zhou Dynasty. Because the characters were different in different dynasties, "Ou" began in the Xia Dynasty.

Ou Kiln, also known as East Ou Kiln, generally refers to the southern Zhejiang region, centered on ancient Wenzhou, mainly distributed in the Oujiang River Basin, sprouted in the Neolithic Age, matured in the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, and widely used brown color decoration technology during the Two Jin Dynasties. It was gradually replaced by Longquan style porcelain during the Tang, Five Dynasties, and the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty. During the Two Song Dynasties, Wenzhou, under the guidance of the concept of emphasizing commerce and practicality, 'the land is not suitable for mulberry and weaving work, not suitable for wheat and rice, not suitable for lacquer but utensils are available', the business is highly developed. The path is in things, and things are in the path. Everything in the world has its path, and the universe also has its path. 'All things have their path' is the Confucian theory of the Yongjia school. All things have their path, apply knowledge to practical affairs, uphold both righteousness and profit, and now it has become the ideological source of the pragmatic spirit of Wenzhou merchants. More than 100 pieces of Ou Kiln fine products and representative kiln site specimens from various historical periods of Ou Kiln, spanning from the Warring States period to the Southern Song Dynasty, covering various types such as tea sets, porcelain pillows, and musical instruments. Northern Song Dynasty Ou Kiln celadon melon edge bottle, Three Kingdoms Ou Kiln celadon chicken head pot, Late Tang Ou Kiln celadon brown color urgent beard, Five Dynasties Ou Kiln celadon pigeon Xun... Walking through the exhibition, the audience can get close to the ancient pottery and porcelain relics from various historical periods.
