Xianyang Museum, located in the middle section of Zhongshan Street, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, is a regional comprehensive museum. Xianyang was the capital of the Qin Dynasty and the location of many Han Dynasty tombs. Therefore, the cultural relics in the Xianyang Museum are mainly from the Qin and Han dynasties, among which the 3,000 painted terracotta warriors and horses from the Western Han Dynasty are the most famous. The Xianyang Museum was built by repairing and expanding the Confucius Temple built in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. It was renamed Xianyang Museum in 2015 and consists of the Xianyang Confucian Temple Museum and the Xianyang Ancient Ferry Site Museum. The Xianyang Confucian Temple itself is a national protected ancient building. The gorgeous wooden bracket archway sparkles in the morning sun. The quaint and quiet four-courtyard complex is the location of the Xianyang Museum, which houses several exhibition rooms, including the Qin Xianyang Civilization Exhibition, jade collections, fine cultural relics, Buddhist cultural relics, and the Western Han Dynasty Legion. The museum’s collection of jade artifacts includes many exquisite pieces, including the “Jade Repelling Evil Spirits” and the “Jade Immortal Galloping Horse”, which have appeared on stamps issued by China Post. The latter is also the inspiration for the museum’s logo. The "Western Han Army" was unearthed from the Changling Tomb of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty in Yangjiawan, Xianyang, which was excavated in 1965. Nearly 2,000 infantry figurines and nearly 600 cavalry figurines formed a huge "three thousand soldiers and horses" formation. Except for being half the size of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, this underground army from the Western Han Dynasty was finely made, brightly colored, and had a strict military appearance, which is equally amazing. The stone stele cultural relics exhibition area is divided into two stele corridors, east and west, which display steles, epitaphs and other cultural relics from the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Dou Lu'en Stele" is known as one of the three famous steles. The "Zhang Cong Stele", "Shun Shun Fragmented Stele", "Stele Record of the Reconstruction of Xianyang County City" and "Stele Record of Wang Chongyang's Immortal Traces" are all rare art treasures. The Xianyang Museum is not big, but it is cleverly designed, with a beautiful environment, quiet and elegant, and peace in the midst of bustle. Strolling along the tree-lined avenue, the green trees are shaded by the rich fragrance, and the weight of history and the Qin and Han styles come into view. As for everything in the world, reading can nourish the mind. The small cultural and historical library in the museum is like a clear stream, adding color and luster to this noisy, vulgar and impetuous natural world, making people fascinating and thought-provoking.

Stepping into Xianyang Museum is like stepping into a time tunnel. The ancient atmosphere is overwhelming, immersing you in the vast ocean of history and inspiring endless insights. The museum building is solemn and elegant, bearing the precipitation of time. Walking in it, the quiet atmosphere makes you involuntarily slow down and feel the historical charm emanating from every corner. The cultural relics in the exhibition hall are like brilliant stars, illuminating the past of Xianyang, an ancient city. The exquisite bronzes tell the wisdom and creativity of the ancestors. The complex patterns and exquisite craftsmanship are amazing. Each bronze ware is a story, witnessing the alternation of dynasties and powers, and giving people a deeper understanding of the glory of ancient society. The pottery figurines are in various shapes and lifelike. Some are smiling, as if telling the joy of life; some are solemn, as if guarding a solemn mission. From these pottery figurines, we can see the life scenes and aesthetic concepts of ancient people, and feel their love for life and longing for the future. The ancient calligraphy and painting works make people intoxicated in the world of art. Between the ink and ink, the feelings and talents of the literati and ink guests flow. The bold or graceful painting style, the vigorous calligraphy, all show the profoundness of ancient culture. Looking at these calligraphy and paintings, it seems that you can talk to the ancients and experience their mood and insights. In this tour, the volunteers of the museum have become a particularly beautiful landscape. They are dressed in uniform clothes and their faces are full of enthusiastic smiles. Whenever tourists have questions, they always answer patiently, making the obscure historical knowledge vivid and interesting with easy-to-understand language. They are like messengers of history, leading us through time and space, and better appreciate the historical charm of Xianyang. There was a volunteer aunt. When I was puzzled by a bronze ware, she took the initiative to come over and explain to me. She introduced in detail the use, production process and the historical story behind this bronze ware. Her explanation was easy to understand, giving me a new understanding of this cultural relic. There is also a young volunteer brother who shuttles through the exhibition hall with a group of children, using vivid stories and interesting interactive methods to make the children interested in history. These volunteers, they give their time and energy silently without remuneration. They interpret their love for history and their responsibility for cultural heritage with their actions. Their existence makes Xianyang Museum not only a place to store cultural relics, but also a knowledge hall full of warmth and humanistic care. When leaving Xianyang Museum, my heart is full of emotion. This tour is not only a visual feast, but also a baptism of the soul. I will continue to move forward with this insight and respect for the volunteers, and explore more beauty of history and culture in life. Xianyang Ancient Crossing Bridge

Xianyang Museum is located in the middle section of Zhongshan Street in Xianyang City. It was built and opened to the public in 1962. It is a national second-level museum. The site of the museum is the Xianyang Confucian Temple built in the fourth year of Ming Hongwu (1371 AD). In 2015, Xianyang Museum was renamed Xianyang Museum. The museum has a collection of more than 20,000 cultural relics, including precious ones such as a jade horse, a jade figurine head, a painted commander figurine, and a tiger talisman of the King of Lu from the Han Dynasty; a gold and silver tripod inlaid with patterns, an Anyi Xiaguan bell, and a dragon-shaped inlaid bell from the Warring States Period; a red gold pot carved with patterns, and a three-color dromedary from the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately I didn’t see it. Due to the construction of the basic display and exhibition hall upgrading and renovation project in the Confucian Temple area, it will be closed for 100 days starting from June 4, 2024. ✅✅Only the "Stele Stone Display" and "Purple Jade and Gold Sand" exhibitions are open. There is also a photography competition exhibition in the yard. I saw many bluestone horse hitching posts and various stone statues of animals with vague features. Because it was a holiday, the museum was full of people, including tourists and people taking photos in ancient costumes. The weather was hot and the closing time was approaching, so we just had a quick look around. I don’t have time to visit the Xianyang Ancient Ferry Ruins.

Xi'an outskirts day trip, you can go to Xianyang for a stroll on the weekend. It's not as crowded as Xi'an, but the cultural atmosphere in Xianyang is no less than Xi'an! 🌟 Around nine o'clock, we took a taxi to the Xianyang Ancient Ferry Corridor Bridge, which is over 800 meters long, with fewer people and very quiet! 🌟 Right off the bridge is the Xianyang Museum, where you can make a reservation on the spot, and you can even see the Terracotta Warriors inside, who doesn't love a free museum visit? 🌟 After leaving the museum, walking along Zhongshan Street, there's a Dad's Coffee Shop with a popular wall at the entrance where you can check in and take photos. There are so many popular walls on Zhongshan Street, and we went there on a sunny day, which was really photogenic! 🌟 At the end of Zhongshan Street is the Qingwei Tower, not too many steps, just consider it exercise. You can rest at Qingwei Tower Square, where many elderly people dance in the square. 🌟 We randomly picked a barbecue restaurant for lunch, which was quite good. Zhongshan Street and Beiping Street are full of hot pot and barbecue places, so you don't have to worry about not finding food! 🌟 After lunch, we walked along Beiping Street, which has the atmosphere of a family celebrating the New Year, not as noisy as Xi'an, but still lively and welcoming. 🌟 Anguo Temple and Phoenix Terrace are next to each other, and you can basically finish visiting in half an hour. We mainly took our time walking and stopping for photos, which took longer. 🌟 Instead of the crowded Bell Tower in Xi'an, you might as well come to the Xianyang Bell Tower for a look. The area around the Bell Tower Square is full of malls and places for eating, drinking, and entertainment, where you can have a coffee and take a break! 🌟 Fuyuan Alley and Huitong Cross are both night markets, a bit far from the above-mentioned attractions. Generally speaking, Fuyuan Alley is larger and better built, but the prices are a bit higher than Huitong Cross. We walked all day just to eat Huitong noodles, and any random place we chose was delicious, very flavorful, and worth eating again! 🌟 Overall, Xianyang is also a city with a very high cultural heritage, and taking a walk around on the weekend is a great choice!

The museum is located in the Confucian Temple, and the building itself is a group of ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is quite rare to see such a large-scale public museum developed from ancient buildings for free in non-Beijing areas. Because there are not many well-preserved ancient buildings, the slightly better ones are all fenced off and charged. This city-level museum built in the ancient buildings also highlights the temperament and heritage of Xianyang, a famous historical and cultural city . Due to space limitations, the richness of the exhibits is somewhat lacking, and it is expected to be a bit shabby due to its proximity to Xi'an. The most famous exhibit here should be the Han Dynasty Terracotta Warriors. Many people come here specifically for this. The exhibits here are the Western Han Dynasty three thousand painted terracotta warriors unearthed from the Han Changling mausoleum in Yangjiawan, Xianyang in 1965. As the burial objects of Liu Bang, these terracotta warriors are large in scale and numerous, but they are not as tall as the Qin Terracotta Warriors and their shapes are not so realistic. They can't compete with the Qin Terracotta Warriors in terms of sensory. They are mostly warriors, wearing armor, inheriting the momentum of the Qin Terracotta Warriors, and focusing more on the inner world and spiritual demeanor of the characters. In addition to Yangjiawan, there are three other Han Dynasty Terracotta Warrior groups in the country, located in Xianyang, Xuzhou and Jinan, those interested can go and see . After seeing the Terracotta Warriors, the hitching posts scattered around the courtyard are also a major feature of the Xianyang Museum. They have different postures, simple and natural, and a variety of styles. They can be mainly divided into four types according to their shapes: carving the four-square spirit beasts implies blessings from all directions; carving lions implies everything goes well (this is the most); carving human figures implies being superior; carving monkeys implies being promoted immediately . Finally, I would like to mention a cultural relic that surprised me. You can see pictures 19 and 20 below. They are the bronze hinges and door handles of the Qin State during the Warring States Period. Such explosive craftsmanship existed two thousand years ago and was widely used in architecture. It is breathtaking, far ahead, far ahead .
