Jiexiu Museum: Small but Charming

Jiexiu is known as the 'Hometown of Three Sages' because of the Spring and Autumn period's Jie Zitui, Eastern Han's Guo Linzong, and Northern Song's Wen Yanbo. Originating from the ancient pre-Qin era, Jiexiu, as a city with a long history, naturally possesses a rich heritage of cultural relics and a profound regional culture, especially in terms of ceramic and colored glaze craftsmanship. Jiexiu Museum, through the display of ancient tombs, ancient architecture, stone carvings and steles, Hongshan kiln ceramics, and the application of colored glaze craftsmanship, showcases the unique charm of Jiexiu culture, which is precisely what is meant by 'small yet exquisite' when referring to Jiexiu Museum. Located in the city center, next to the museum is the Xian Shen Tower, and if you walk towards Shuncheng Gate Old Street, you will find the City God Temple on Dong Da Street. After visiting the museum and seeing these old buildings, one can quickly and thoroughly understand the humanistic spirit of Jiexiu.
