A god-level museum in a fifth-tier city in Northeast China (Chaoyang)

A museum in a small northeastern city with a low sense of presence dares to charge 50 yuan for admission, and the evaluation is so high. I think it must have its unique features. After learning more about it, I found that the Beita Museum, as the name suggests, is a museum built on the basis of Chaoyang Beita. There are only a few hundred cultural relics, but basically all of them are exquisite. There are four national treasures and the real body relics of Dipankara Buddha. It is definitely worth the money. Before entering the museum, don't miss the Beita next to it. This The "No. 1 Pagoda in Northeast China" was built over five dynasties, starting from the construction of the palace in the Former Yan Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period to the last major renovation in the Liao Dynasty, a total of more than 700 years, spanning the Three Yan, Northern Wei, Sui, Tang and Liao dynasties, a total of five generations of construction. It is the only known Buddhist pagoda building with "five generations under one pagoda". The museum has cross-sections of the North Pagoda from different eras, which are quite intuitive. The museum is divided into two floors. The first floor takes the North Tower as the guide and introduces the origin, evolution, typical structure and architectural form of the tower. Basically, the past and present of the pagoda have been made clear. It was not until this moment that I knew that the pagoda was originally a building for preserving or burying the "relics" of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. The Sanskrit word for pagoda means tomb. After Buddhism was introduced into China, pagodas were combined with my country's original architectural forms and traditional culture to develop into various types of Chinese-style temple pagodas. The hardcore exhibits are concentrated on the underground floor. The four national treasures are Persian glass bottles, gold and silver pagodas, gilded silver pagodas, and seven-treasure pagodas. The real body of Dingguang Buddha unearthed from the underground palace of the South Pagoda is also enshrined here. The most amazing ones are the Persian glass bottle and the seven-treasure stupa. The Persian glass bottle is a "bottle in a bottle" made of blown transparent glass. The most amazing thing about it is that there is a small bottle inside the big bottle, and it is very well preserved. The seven-treasure stupa is a square single-eaved style, and the tower is decorated with gold and silver ornaments strung together with silver threads, corals, pearls, agates, jades, crystals and other treasures. The appearance is crystal clear and extremely gorgeous. When it was discovered in 1988, the wooden board had been burned by a fire caused by a lightning strike, and the silver threads had been broken, so the entire canopy was in tatters, and tens of thousands of pearls were scattered. Since the original shape of the Seven Treasures Pagoda is unknown, the restorers can only rely on their imagination and limited Buddhist classics to piece it together again. The workload is quite huge. This is also the only Seven Treasures Pagoda unearthed in the world. This is the end of the introduction of the product. If you want to know more details, you can come and see it yourself. Finally, I would like to mention the Liao Dynasty inscribed brick with the words "Auspicious Stars" in Figure 17. The strokes are vigorous and powerful, the structure is simple and elegant, and the charm is extraordinary and otherworldly, which is quite similar to the style of Yan Jin and Liu Gu.
