[Stroll through Shandong: Land of the Five Sages, Light of Thought] Jining has a long history and is the birthplace of five sages: Confucius, Yan Hui, Zengzi, Zisi, and Mencius. Confucianism has influenced China for over 2,000 years. The Jining Museum is small, but it has exquisite and interesting collections of bronzes and jades from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, stone tablets from the Han Dynasty, Tang Sancai pottery figurines from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and porcelain from the Yuan and Qing Dynasties. Among them, the bronze he with a dragon-shaped handle, beast head, hoof-shaped feet, round lid, and bird-shaped knob from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Tang Dynasty bronze mirror with a beast-shaped knob and a diamond-shaped floral pattern, and the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase with a jade pot spring pattern are all exquisite treasures. In addition, Weishan Lake, the setting of the once-popular Chinese novel "Railway Guerrillas," is located in Jining. 📝Tips: 1. Free admission. During the May Day holiday, the museum is open until 19:00. 2. This is the new museum in the cultural center. The old museum is located in the city center.

The new building of the Jining City Museum looks grand, trendy, and modern from the outside, very impressive indeed, but it's located in a remote area, the staff attitude is poor, and the exhibition design is not user-friendly, meticulous, professional, or reasonable. After visiting, I was quite frustrated, but I'll share some highlights from the mess, so you don't have to go there and feel aggrieved. After seeing everything, it was actually the temporary exhibition on the second floor that left the most lasting impression. 🗺️First, let's talk about the location🗺️ The new building of the Jining City Museum is located in the Tai Bai Lake New District Cultural Center in Jining City, which is relatively far from the downtown area. This area actually has a lot of urban functional buildings like museums and libraries, but they are hard to find. I can't describe it clearly, so just leave it to fate. The special exhibition 'Fucheng Han Charm' is on the second floor, in a square independent space, which is relatively easy to find. 🖼️Overall Impression🖼️ The exhibition is likely a swap between the Mianyang City Museum in Sichuan Province and the Jining City Museum, featuring Han Dynasty relics from there. Since both cities have representative Han Dynasty cultural relics, the exhibition is a comparative special exhibition that uses a historical cross-section as the method of presentation. ⚱️Worth Paying Attention To⚱️ 1️⃣The 'Hejia Mountain Money Tree No. 2' is nearly two meters tall, very exquisite. The trunk represents the earth, and the canopy is full of coins, with a series of scenes centered around the worship of the Queen Mother of the West, and it's very well preserved, definitely worth seeing. 2️⃣Many stone carving rubbings. The themes they depict are very down-to-earth, and so is the style, with things like 'Dog Catching a Mouse' and the 'Xuanwu' that looks like a big dinosaur🦕, quite curious. 3️⃣There's also a rich collection of pottery figurines and statues, representing animals, people, and daily life, all reflecting prosperity. 4️⃣Bronze tools and lacquerware for daily use are mainly ritual vessels but also functional. (This is my understanding, haha) 📝To Summarize📝 During the Han Dynasty, Taoism was the mainstream religion, and people believed in immortals rather than Buddha, which is very characteristic of the era. Later, when Buddhism was introduced, it quickly became mainstream, so Han Dynasty relics are very expressive of Taoist beliefs and folk content, and are worth a look~

Took the kids to the Beihu District of Jining Museum, learned about the historical changes of the Grand Canal, the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the replicas of many cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of King Lu Huang, stone carvings, jade carvings, gold, silver and bronze wares, exhibits from various dynasties, as well as some history of the counties and cities under Jining. It is indeed a national first-class museum
