Kuahu Bridge Relic Site Museum (East Gate) Review

Hangzhou has a Xianghu Lake, Xianghu Lake once had a cross-lake bridge. The cross-lake bridge has long disappeared in the long river of history, and now there is a museum on Xianghu Lake that looks like a canoe. The Cross-Lake Bridge Site Museum is a unique presence that rises directly on the Cross-Lake Bridge Site. The museum is shaped by a boat, mainly composed of the "Eighth thousand years back" theme exhibition hall and the turtle shell site protection hall like floating on the water, mainly exhibiting archaeological excavations and research results of the cross-lake bridge site. The relief mural in the entrance hall of the museum is a canoe when unearthed. The canoe 8,000 years ago is definitely the treasure of the town hall of the Cross-Lake Bridge Site Museum. This excavation and discovery makes China one of the ancient ship civilizations with the world's oldest canoe. It has an important price for studying the history of human water transportation in the Neolithic period. value. In order to best protect this precious underwater site of the Cross-Lake Bridge, the museum has adopted an unprecedented site protection project. The water in the exhibition hall can be discharged, and the lake outside the exhibition hall cannot enter. Wang Dongling wrote "Xiaoshan Eight Thousand Years" in the vigorous pen and condensed ink. The canoe, known as "China's first boat", lay quietly in the glass room under the lake 6.5 meters. The glass room is constant temperature and humidity, and the instrument panel of the precision monitoring instrument is constantly changing various detection data. The canoe soaked with potion all year round is like a patient carefully cared for in the ICU. The canoe is broken, long 5.6 meters, widest 53 cm, and the average thickness of the boat is 2-3 cm; Made from the whole ponytail; there is a large black focal surface about one meter from the head of the canoe. The canoe is smooth, the original axe chisel, the traces are not obvious, the arc of the boat and the upper and upper surface of the bottom are very clean, except for the neat fracture of the side, there are no processing marks outside the boat. Seven thousand years ago, the cross-lake bridge culture on the shore of Xianghu Lake existed for 1000 years, like a meteor in the history of Huaxia civilization, a canoe can be preserved to this day, becoming one of the witnesses of this civilization. The exhibition hall - the birth of the cross-huqiao culture, the activities of the cross-huqiao people, the exploration of the agricultural origin of the archaeological excavations in Xianghu area, the pottery group represented by the sputum, sputum, circled foot plates and cans, are not seen in the special objects such as line wheels of other neolithic sites in the south of the Yangtze River. All illustrate the uniqueness of the cross-lake bridge cultural type. The pottery unearthed is even more advanced than the Hemudu, which is 1,000 years later. A large number of bone tools, wood, stone tools and pottery unearthed here not only pushed the history of civilization in Zhejiang from the Hemudu culture to 7,000 years ago to 1000 years ago, but also proved that the origin of Chinese civilization is diversified, except that the Yellow River is the mother river of the Chinese nation. The Yangtze River Basin is also one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
