A 2-day 1-night guide to Xuchang, a city that is both a starting point and a return destination, it's so special! So city! It has a relaxed vibe that's just right, 'calm enough to cure three thousand ailments,' and many heroes have enacted legendary tales here. - I experienced a large-scale live-action game of Three Kingdoms Kill in Xuchang 😎 It's like a variety show, integrating into the game, immersing in the ancient city's mysteries, experiencing the historical charm of Xuchang! Upon arriving in my room, I received my Three Kingdoms Kill role card, drawing Zhuge Liang and the Spy card 🃏, needing to complete corresponding secret missions! - 🎮 On the second day, the 'Three Kingdoms Kill Tenth Anniversary' Xuchang cultural and tourism event themed 'Strategizing Jia Xu' officially began: 📍 Xuchang Museum Learn about the history of the Three Kingdoms and the cultural connotations behind the game, participating in a treasure hunt in the museum 💡 📍 Fat Donglai Angel City 'Strategizing Jia Xu' survival challenge, designated military supply shopping to find hidden tasks, selecting Fat Donglai specialties 😍 It must be said that Fat Donglai is indeed a great place to visit 📍 Cao Wei Ancient City An important site from the Three Kingdoms period, displaying Cao Cao's strategies and wisdom. Experience the shifting events of the Three Kingdoms from the perspective of Jia Xu. An immersive experience of Three Kingdoms Kill, feeling the historical scenes of the battles fought here by Cao Cao and the lords, understanding how Jia Xu strategized at critical moments. 📍 Chancellor Cao's Mansion Participate in games of pitch-pot and cuju, experiencing the residence of the once formidable Cao Cao 📍 Spring and Autumn Pavilion Feel Guan Yu's experience of reading the Spring and Autumn Annals at night, completing the task of restoring the fragmented Spring and Autumn Annals, challenging oneself to lift the Green Dragon Crescent Blade 📍 Du Kang Pavilion 'Strategizing Jia Xu' grand challenge, feeling the strategy and courage of Jia Xu 📍 Water Boat Ride The first 'Three Kingdoms Kill' singing king Lu Xun's cup song challenge, enjoying the beauty of Xuchang city by the lotus river on a boat 📍 Rebecca Hotel Three Kingdoms Feast Attend the 'Strategizing Jia Xu' auction, tasting the themed Three Kingdoms feast 🍜 - Whether at the 'starting point' or the 'end point,' we should 'bravely face' and 'calmly let go.'

Jia Xu and Xuchang, from ancient times to the present, have each survived and lived in a very 'self-consistent' way. This philosophy of self-consistent living is perhaps what we lack today, facing various workplace competitions and survival pressures, blindly following the crowd. Just like in the Three Kingdoms Kill tenth anniversary game, where Jia Xu can return to the peak state of vitality and hand cards by activating the dual-limited skills, can't our lives be restarted as well? - I think, whether it's Three Kingdoms Kill or Xuchang, the essential life lessons they bring us are even more precious. Everyone can also look forward to it, on July 13th, the 'Three Kingdoms Kill Tenth Anniversary' Creative Festival will officially begin, introducing the new general 'Strategizing Jia Xu' with dual-limited skills, as well as Zhang Liao, Chen Gui, and other 29 popular generals to play for free during the event! Plus, the exciting return of the 'Heavenly Book Melee' gameplay～

Hey, friends, did you know? I recently visited the Xuchang Museum in Henan, and it's like a historical 'refrigerator' filled with all sorts of 'antique ice cream'! As soon as I entered, I was 'dazzled' by those shiny bronzes. They were like a group of ancient soldiers in armor, neatly lined up to greet me. I couldn't help but want to touch them to see if they were really as cold as ice cream. Then, I saw those exquisite ceramics and jade articles. They were like piles of colorful 'antique candies', making me want to taste them. I even imagined, if these relics could be eaten, how great that would be! I could open a 'Historical Flavor Restaurant' that specializes in serving these 'antique delicacies'! In the museum's historical exhibition area, I felt like a 'time traveler', shuttling between the various dynasties of ancient times. I saw how ancient people used simple tools to create such exquisite artifacts, which really surprised and impressed me. This visit made me understand one thing: history is like a big refrigerator, filled with all kinds of 'antique ice cream'. Only by opening this refrigerator can we taste the delicious 'historical ice cream' and feel the profoundness of Chinese civilization. In short, the Xuchang Museum is truly a place that makes people laugh and also benefits them greatly. If you haven't been there yet, take action now! Trust me, you will definitely find more fun 'antique ice creams' there!

Xuchang City Museum is a local comprehensive museum, classified as a national second-level museum, and is a national 3A-level tourist attraction. The museum has six basic exhibition halls and one multifunctional temporary exhibition hall. The basic display of Xuchang City Museum, titled 'Xu's Prosperity', highlights local characteristics by combining regional culture with the museum's collection. With the theme of 'reflecting ancient civilization and highlighting the culture of the Three Kingdoms', the exhibition is structured in the form of a grand historical narrative with focused subtopics. It includes five thematic exhibitions: 'The People of Xuchang', 'The Origin of the Xia Capital', 'The Origin of Xu', 'Cao Wei's Capital Xu', and 'Memories of Xuzhou'. The basic display 'Xu's Prosperity' was awarded the 'Top Ten Exhibitions of National Museums' by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the Chinese Museums Association for the tenth session (2011-2012). Xuchang was formerly known as Xuzhou. In the first year of Jian'an of the Eastern Han Dynasty (196 AD), Cao Cao moved the capital to this location after welcoming Emperor Xian of Han, and it remained the capital until the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (220 AD), when Cao Cao's son Cao Pi replaced the Han Dynasty, established the state of Wei, and moved the capital to Luoyang. That is to say, the last capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty was in Xuchang. However, after Cao Cao captured Ye City in the tenth year of Jian'an, he resided there, so Xuchang's splendor was not as dazzling as that of Ye City. What truly makes Xuchang noteworthy today is the Guan Kiln in Yuzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Xuchang. The so-called Jun Kiln of the Five Famous Kilns of the Song Dynasty, although its era is disputed, is one of the most important kiln systems in the history of Chinese ceramics, whether in the Song, Yuan, or Ming dynasties. The ceramic gallery of the Xuchang Museum is relatively weak, and it can only be said to provide a simple introduction to the Jun Kiln. Therefore, those interested in Jun porcelain must visit the Yuzhou Jun Official Kiln Site Museum. Que Tower images were a common theme in the Han Dynasty. The characteristic of the manorial economy of the Han Dynasty was 'the rich had fields extending in all directions, while the poor had no place to stand a needle.' Farmers who could not pay their rent would become tenants of large landowners. Manors varied in size, as did the portrait bricks, but all embodied aspirations for a better life. However, the figures on these small bricks from Xuchang are quite adorable. This kind of rough line drawing of the Que Tower seems to be a characteristic of Xuchang. (Images 4-6) Xuchang Museum

Xu Chang and the Three Kingdoms have a deep relationship. During the Three Kingdoms period, here is Xudu, Weidu. Today, Xuchang's two districts are named after the three countries: Jian'an District and Weidu District. Jian'an Avenue, Weiwu Avenue... Walking on the streets of Xuchang is like crossing the Three Kingdoms era. Every time I go to a place, if it is a historical city, my first stop must be a museum, and Xu Chang is nothing. The new museum of Xuchang Museum is located in the southern section of Xuchang Wenbo Museum at the intersection of Xudu Road and Zhihui Avenue in Dongcheng District, Xuchang City. The collections with the characteristics of this museum are bricks and tiles, especially the medium-sized non-hollow portrait bricks are unique. Porcelain and bronze collections are also unique. Typical artifacts include portrait bricks such as the "Shang Ma Shi Taicang". At the same time, the new museum is also a cultural venue with some three-themed stamps and paintings on display.
