Shanxi Museum Guide

⛰【Attraction Guide】 📍Detailed address: No. 13, North Section of Binhe West Road, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province 🚗Traffic strategy: Turn right after crossing the Fen River Bridge on Yingze Street and you will arrive 🕙Opening hours: 9:00—17:00 (stop entering the museum at 16:00) Closed on Mondays, Chinese New Year's Eve, and the first day of the lunar year (open as usual on Mondays that fall on national holidays) 💰Ticket price: Free admission with valid documents after reservation 🌟Highlights: 1. Shanxi Museum has four floors divided into 12 themed exhibition halls, which are: Cradle of Civilization (Pottery), Traces of Xia and Shang Dynasties (Pottery), Jin State Hegemony (Bronze Ware), Melting Pot of Ethnicities (Stone Carvings, Murals, etc.), Buddhist Charm (Buddha Statues), Hometown of Opera, Jin Merchants Under Heaven, Porcelain Garden (Porcelain), World of Coins (Ancient Coins), Jade Grace of China (Jade), Architectural Splendor (Ancient Architecture), and Ink and Color (Calligraphy and Painting). 2. In addition to the above 12 exhibition halls, the temporary exhibition hall on the first floor of Shanxi Museum is also not to be missed, with various themed exhibitions from time to time. 📌Little Tips: 1. There are many treasures in the Shanxi Museum, and it is impossible to see everything in one day if you carefully observe each exhibition hall. It is recommended to first choose the theme exhibition hall that interests you the most. I entered the museum right when it opened at 9 am, and in the morning, I visited the 'Architectural Splendor' and 'Buddhist Charm' halls. In the afternoon, I visited the 'Melting Pot of Ethnicities', and for the other halls, I could only have a quick look and hurried through, so that I barely finished all the exhibition halls by the time the museum closed. 2. The services of Shanxi Museum are quite in place. In addition to regular explanations and audio guides, there are also free services for luggage storage (including large suitcases), baby strollers, and wheelchairs.

Taiyuan's traffic lights have their own bicycle symbols

Taiyuan actually has special bicycle traffic lights, and as someone from the south, this is the first time I've seen them. It's easier to get around than I thought. 🍽 Dining Recommendations: Laojunying Snack Street: All snacks, the guokui is good, and the mung bean cake is also good, not too sweet. Xinghuatang: The yellow rice jelly is absolutely amazing, the best in the show; there's something like Buddha Jumps Over the Wall that's also good, I forgot the exact name; Slightly Plum can be ordered, there are several fillings, just choose one you like. There's a stage in the middle of the hall, and you can also see opera performances. Bingzhou Dapaidang: Taiyuan is also known as Bingzhou, so Bingzhou Dapaidang is Taiyuan Dapaidang. You must try the rock and roll oat noodles, the sweet and sour meatballs are also worth ordering, and I think the chicken shredded cold noodles are better than the stall's Liukou noodles. Lao Liu Steamed Dumplings·Halal Restaurant: You have to go in the morning, they're gone by noon, you should eat the Jiao Quan, which seems to be also called Ma Ye, it's basically flour mixed with brown sugar and then fried in hot oil. Recommended. Xiao Wang Breakfast: It seems to be opposite the Normal University, a place to eat Taiyuan breakfast, still have to eat Ma Ye. Old Taiyuan Restaurant: If you have enough time, you can go there, there are a lot of people, just look and order. Jin cuisine is mainly too large in portion, if there are many people, you can order a lot. ✅ Must Experience: Shanxi Museum Shanxi Bronze Museum Jinci Park Jin Merchant Museum Especially the first two, you can also collect stamps, very proud. Outside Jinci, a whole street is full of food, 15 yuan a cup of pomegranate juice is okay. 🚉 Travel Tips: Taiyuan is the same, just scan the code. Buy a bicycle card, and you can ride at will.

Shanxi Museum, you really know how to enjoy yourself! There's even this way to appreciate flowers in spring

Let's highlight the key points: This exhibition brings together masterpieces from famous artists such as Luo Pin, Zhu Da, Zheng Xie, Xu Beihong, and Zhang Daqian, displaying more than 70 exquisite flower and bird paintings! Flower and bird painting is a continuation of our country's traditional cultural development, permeated with profound humanistic connotations. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the present, flower and bird works have become a medium that conveys emotions more easily than landscape paintings. The exhibition is divided into three units: Unit One | 'New Paulownia, First Appeal - Aesthetic Empathy in Flower and Bird Painting' Flower and bird painting integrates the natural attributes of flowers and birds with humanistic meanings, complementing each other. This is where paintings of the 'Four Gentlemen' - plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum - come from. Masterpieces such as Luo Pin's 'Ink Plum', Zhu Da's 'Lotus and Mandarin Ducks', and Zheng Xie's 'Orchid and Bamboo' are on display here. Unit Two | 'Fragrance in Painting - The Form and Spirit Relationship in Flower and Bird Painting' Chinese painting highly values the creation of artistic conception. As an aesthetic concept, artistic conception is an artistic expression of the painter's specific cultural mood, a pursuit of artistic transformation and expression. In Xu Beihong's 'Banana Leaves', Wu Changshuo's 'Agarwood', and Zhang Daqian's 'Lotus', one can explore the inner feelings during creation. Unit Three | 'Romantic Flower Language - Auspicious Meanings in Flower and Bird Painting' Chinese flower language appears in pattern form, becoming a representative pattern with unique Chinese characteristics. The symbolic meanings in flower and bird paintings are roughly divided into two types: using the natural attributes of flowers to reflect cultivation and realm; using relatively fixed pattern forms to express life's aspirations and symbolize auspiciousness and happiness. A world in a flower, a bodhi in a leaf. Different flower languages become artistic expressions of people's pursuit of a beautiful life. Whether refined or worldly, the language of flowers always holds a place of beauty and romance in people's hearts. Exhibition Name: Brilliant Blossoms - The Art of Flower and Bird Painting Address: 4th Floor, Calligraphy and Painting Hall, Main Building, Shanxi Museum, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province Business Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-17:00, entry stops at 16:00 Suitable Seasons: All seasons Suggested Visiting Time: 2 hours Ticket: Free Recommended Highlights: This exhibition brings together masterpieces from famous artists such as Luo Pin, Zhu Da, Zheng Xie, Xu Beihong, and Zhang Daqian. Convenience Services: Self-service audio guides, baby stroller rental, wheelchair rental, central air conditioning, etc.

Taiyuan | Shanxi Museum

Visiting the museum requires an advance reservation, especially during holidays, when it's really crowded. However, during the holidays, the Shanxi Museum sometimes arranges for visitors to queue up after 4 pm, and there are a lot of people waiting in line, taking about half an hour to get in. The Shanxi Museum is one of the first batch of national first-class museums, a national museum cultivation object jointly built by the central and local governments, and the largest center in Shanxi for the collection, preservation, protection, research, and exhibition of cultural relics. Representative exhibits include the Marquis of Jin's bird zun, the Houma Covenant, Hu Fu's wine vessel, the animal-shaped goblet, the Meidigou painted pottery jar, the painted goose and fish bronze lamp, the bronze chariot for the footless man guarding the park, the stone sarcophagus from Yu Hong's tomb, and the six-piece jade pendant string. The museum is well planned, with a clear and detailed visiting route, and a rich variety of cultural and creative products. There are a lot of people stamping their visit.

Explore the Shanxi Museum and touch the "Jin Soul"

The Shanxi Museum is located at No. 13, North Section of Binhe West Road, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It is one of the first batch of national first-class museums, and its predecessor was the Shanxi Educational Library Museum established in the eighth year of the Republic of China (1919). The exhibition area of the Shanxi Museum is 13,000 square meters, and the cultural relics warehouse area is 12,000 square meters. It has a collection of more than 500,000 items, featuring bronzes, porcelain, stone carvings, Buddhist statues, murals, calligraphy, and paintings. The basic display is themed around "Jin Soul". The five-thousand-year civilization can be seen in Shanxi. It is said that the three figures Yao, Shun, and Yu were all born in Shanxi. The ancient land of Sanjin has left too many footprints of Chinese civilization, and the Shanxi Museum is also worth your careful appreciation. After browsing, my personal favorite is the Northern Qi green-glazed dragon-handled chicken-head pot (Figure 2), which is 50.5 cm high, with a mouth diameter of 11 cm and a base diameter of 13 cm, unearthed in 1981. The dish mouth is slightly open, with the dragon's mouth holding the lip, the dragon's neck connecting to the belly, a fine high neck, a bulging belly, with three knobs on each side, and a treasure-flower attached below the middle knob; the belly has ridges, with four spread-winged phoenix birds attached below. The overall glaze is bright, and both the shape and material are exquisite, looking particularly textured. Friends who love Chinese civilization and the history of Shanxi, come and explore the Shanxi Museum to touch the "Jin Soul" up close.

The Fen Yang Tai Fu Temple's 28 constellations are actually hidden in the Shanxi Museum

In the Shanxi Museum, I saw the colored sculptures of the 28 constellations from the Fen Yang Tai Fu Temple. At first, I thought they were replicas, but it wasn't until I noticed the "safety belts" on them that I asked the administrator if photography was allowed. The answer I got was "Feel free to take pictures if you like"‼️ 🏯About Fen Yang Tai Fu Temple The colored sculptures + hanging sculptures of Fen Yang Tai Fu Temple hold a place in my heart that is at least in the top ten of all ancient Shanxi architecture. The original Ziwu Pavilion collapsed, but the colored sculptures of the 28 constellations were preserved. Eight of them were "invited" to be exhibited in the Shanxi Museum, while one remains in the temple. 🌟The 28 Constellations 🐉Eastern Azure Dragon: Horned Dragon, Neck Dragon, Root Ferret, Room Rabbit, Heart Fox, Tail Tiger, Winnowing Basket Leopard 🦚Southern Vermilion Bird: Well Wood Badger, Ghost Metal Sheep, Willow Earth Deer, Star Day Horse, Extended Net Moon Deer, Wings Fire Snake, Chariot Water Worm 🐯Western White Tiger: Legs Wood Wolf, Bond Metal Dog, Stomach Earth Pheasant, Hairy Head Day Chicken, Net Moon Crow, Beak Fire Monkey, Three Water Monkey 🐢Northern Black Tortoise: Dipper Wood Hyaena, Ox Gold Ox, Girl Earth Bat, Emptiness Day Rat, Rooftop Moon Swallow, Encampment Fire Pig, Wall Water Deer 🤔Some Questions When I visited Fen Yang Tai Fu Temple, all the colored sculptures were prohibited from photography. What impressed me the most were the 28 constellations, only one of which remained in the temple and was strictly off-limits for photography, claiming that taking pictures would damage the artifacts. So how come it's allowed to take pictures freely in the Shanxi Museum? The treasures left by our ancestors are not to be photographed just because they say so, is such a "regulation" reasonable? Since the Shanxi Museum allows photography, there must be relevant scientific evidence, so why is there such great resistance to taking a picture in the counties and cities below? I love Shanxi But I hate the "regulations" that prohibit photography‼️ Please respect science Let the cultural relics come to life and pass on the cultural context‼️

Shanxi Provincial Museum, it's better than Shijiazhuang anyway

I suggest stamping first and then looking for them one by one (Of course, every museum recommends this way of visiting) If you didn't bring a book, you can buy a cultural creative ice cream, tear open the box, and it will be even more memorable It's pretty good, but it's a bit too fond of birds, bird keepers all come to visit, you guys must be very happy, because basically in the cultural relics area, there's a bird every three steps 💦💦💦 (It's a bit of an exaggeration but anyway...

Shanxi Museum

At the Shanxi Museum, explore the wisdom and ingenuity of the ancients, and feel the depth of history and the charm of art. Each cultural relic here sparkles with human intelligence and emotion. Come and check in, leave your mark!

Buddhist Charm - Buddhist Statues Exhibition of the Northern Dynasties at Shanxi Provincial Museum

The permanent exhibition 'Buddhist Charm' at Shanxi Provincial Museum displays a wonderful collection of Buddhist statues from the Northern Dynasties, especially those rare ones carved from marble in other parts of China. It is well worth a visit for those who are interested.

When I came to Taiyuan, the Shanxi Museum had to look at this museum, which is rich in collections. It was founded in 1919 and has a history of just over a hundred years. All kinds of exquisite bronzes, pottery, Buddha statues, stone carvings, etc. in the pavilion showcase the most essential parts of Shanxi's history, which is amazing. Figure 2 is not a bit like the Chinese version of the angry bird, it is too cute; unfortunately one of the treasures of the earthquake hall, the "Bird Zun" original did not see in the repair. Shanxi has a long history and a rich cultural heritage. It is very necessary to visit the museum in Shanxi. It is necessary to visit the museum with ID card.
