It is a green museum powered by a solar photovoltaic power generation system. Since its free opening to the public on May 18, 2020, the museum has received over 170000 visitors, more than 1200 teams, and conducted nearly a hundred research and learning activities. Chen Lusheng has always been committed to bringing excellent Chinese culture abroad. He has traveled around the world and has communicated with more than 370 museums worldwide, planning many large-scale exhibitions. Now, he is thinking about how to further innovate and promote while inheriting and protecting local civilization. Yangzhong is surrounded by water on all sides. In the past, it mainly relied on boats to communicate with the outside world. Nowadays, in addition to the geographical 'one island and five bridges', it has also built an intangible cultural bridge, "said Chen Lusheng. (New News Agency)
