On June 27th, the first day of the cultural relics exhibition "Exploring the Ancient Shu Civilization, Sanxingdui and Jinsha" at the Grand Canal Museum in Beijing, when we drove to the destination, we found that its popularity exceeded expectations and was too popular.
The excavation of Sanxingdui site, known as one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of mankind in the 20th century, has not only unearthed many rare and rare precious cultural relics, but also become an important window to study the origin and development of Chinese civilization with its unique cultural appearance and rich historical connotation.
The grand debut of the Sanxingdui cultural relics exhibition in Beijing, divided into three chapters, namely "discovery of Sanxingdui", "interpretation of Sanxingdui" and "positioning of Sanxingdui", from exquisite bronzes to mysterious masks, from magnificent gold to unique pottery and jade, as many as 265 pieces/sets of cultural relics allow you to systematically appreciate the unique charm of the ancient Shu civilization more than 3,000 years ago, including 46 pieces/sets of national first-class cultural relics, which are of high value.
Since there was no need to make an appointment, people flocked to the museum, and at ten o'clock, the queue outside the museum meandered, and the end of the line was already on the side of the road.
It took a long time to wait under the scorching sun before we were able to enter the museum. I thought victory was in sight, but I found that the long queue outside the exhibition hall was even more exaggerated than outside the museum, so I waited and slowly moved forward.
After more than an hour, I finally saw the entrance of the exhibition hall. At this time, there was a sudden commotion in front of him, and it turned out that the two waves of people did not know why they were arguing. The weather is hot and crowded, and the slightest physical contact can stimulate a huge amount of energy, and it is not easy to keep them calm and calm.
At 12:30, we finally entered the exhibition hall, only to see that every piece of cultural relics was full of heads and mobile phones, the air was mixed with the smell of bad breath and sweat, and everyone did not have time and space to appreciate the cultural relics.
Most of the time, if you accidentally bump into someone, say sorry, it doesn't matter if the other party replies, even if it is reconciled, after all, there are so many precious cultural relics waiting to be seen.
However, there are also people who catch others and do not forgive, and they have to fight for right and wrong, from mutual scolding to Beijing, and finally adding fists and feet, both of them lose.
Finally after seeing all the exhibits, despite the lack of people, the heart is still very full and satisfied, although these mysterious and unknown ancient Shu civilization remains, what civilization code is hidden, we still do not know, but the enthusiasm for their exploration will continue to rise for a long time in the future, until the truth is revealed.
At half past three in the afternoon, when we walked out of the exhibition hall, there were still many tourists waiting in line outside to enter the museum, but fortunately, it was not as exaggerated as in the morning. The exhibition is open from 10:00 to 20:00 every Tuesday to Sunday, and it seems that the experience of staggered participation is better.
Friends who plan to visit Sanxingdui cultural relics this weekend, I advise you to wait, if nothing else, Saturday and Sunday will be full, see the weather is more than 30 degrees of high temperature, waiting in line under the hot sun, very sinful. You can wait for the first wave of freshness to pass, and find a non-weekend time to watch it in the afternoon.
It is expected that the Sanxingdui Cultural Relics Exhibition will be one of the most popular exhibitions in Beijing in the upcoming summer vacation, so be sure to stagger the time with the tourist army, anyway, it will not end until October 10, and it is not too late to wait until September to see it.
The following pictures are some of the best cultural relics I took on the first day of the exhibition, so you can take a look at them in advance.
