Zhumadian Museum is a national second-class museum 💰Free Opening hours⏱ Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00 (16:00 stop admission, 16:30 clearing🚫 📍Intersection of Wenyu 2nd Road and Tongda Road, Yicheng District, Zhumadian City Zhumadian Museum is a national second-class museum and the only comprehensive museum in Zhumadian City. ✅When you come to a city, you must go to its museum to learn about the past and present of the city. The name "Zhumadian" originated in the Ming Dynasty. According to historical records, as early as the Han Dynasty, this place was named "Zhama Village" because of its abundant production of ramie. In the first year of Ming Tianshun (1457), a small town was formed in the west of "Zhama Village", and it was called "Zhama" along the ancient village name. In the tenth year of Ming Chenghua (1474), King Chongjian Zhu Jianze went to Ruzhou (now Runan) and built a village in the ancient town of Zhama, and set up a post station here (the post station between Suiping and Minggang), so he agreed with "Zhama" to "Zhuma". Because there are many horse shops around the post station for horsemen and merchants to stay, it is gradually called "Zhumadian". The following is a passage from the "Preface" of Zhumadian Museum: Pangu opened the sky and the sun and the moon first shone, and the earth measured the scenery and built a watch for thousands of years. The country is full of sages, and the Chu style is gradually singing in the north. The land of Runan County is fertile and vast, and the talents are all gathered together. The dragon spring quenched the fire sword and the iron was not sold, and Liang Zhu turned into a butterfly and the culture was long. The old mansion of Runing is full of wind and clouds, and the holy land of Zhugou is full of stars. The world is in the middle of the nine states, and the east and west meet and shine in China. "Thick and heavy in the sky, unique charm for thousands of years" - Zhumadian Museum exhibits start
