This year's "May 18 International Museum Day" gives the answer. Museums can bring people back to the historical scene and dialogue with history across time and space. The wisdom of inheriting civilization and learning from the past and the present is "the power of museums". A museum is a university The Chinese nation has a long history, Chinese civilization has a long history, and Chinese culture is broad and profound. A museum is a university. It is an important palace for protecting and inheriting human civilization and a bridge connecting the past, present and future. When you enter the Palace Museum, the original display brings visitors to the historical scene of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The digital museum, ancient architecture museum, calligraphy and painting Museum, ceramics museum, sculpture museum, bronzes Museum, clocks and watches Museum, treasures Museum, Opera Museum, furniture museum and other special exhibitions make people feel the broad and profound Chinese civilization in an immersive way; Walking into the National Museum, "ancient China", "the road of rejuvenation", "the road of rejuvenation · part of the new era" and other basic displays lay out a deep historical corridor, which makes people excited. Special exhibitions such as "ancient Chinese coins", "ancient Chinese jade art" and "ancient Chinese porcelain art" decorate the historical sky and color history. There are also the "heroic style of the Han Dynasty" and "Tang meteorology" of Shaanxi History Museum, and the "magnificent Chinese capital in China" and "brilliant Central Plains" of Henan Museum. They are like a comprehensive university, showing China's historical style from multiple angles. Walking into the exhibition hall of the Sino Japanese War Museum, the Sino Japanese War: 1894-1895 displays the shocking war scenes such as the "yellow sea war" and the "Weihaiwei defense war" through historical pictures, weapons and equipment and figures, warning the Chinese people to keep the alarm bell ringing and remember the lessons of history; Entering the Southwest Associated University Museum, the Southwest Associated University history exhibition, "12.1" movement history exhibition, Li Gongpu and Wen Yiduo's life story exhibition gathered elites here during the national crisis, and slowly unfolded the historical picture of learning for the country and the nation. All visitors were infected by the spirit of Southwest Associated University and deeply educated. In addition, they read "a single spark can start a prairie fire" in Jinggangshan Revolutionary Museum, experienced the spiritual and ideological baptism in Xibaipo Museum, and personally felt the growing strength of China's military power in the Chinese people's Revolutionary Military Museum. They are like a professional college, telling a section of history and a column in-depth texture with rich and detailed cultural relics and historical materials. When you enter the museum, you will feel the impact of all kinds of cultural relics, whether it is in the heart of history or culture. History is a mirror. It is wise to learn from the past and know the present. There are history courses, master courses and ideological and political courses in the museum. When you go in with respect and come out with a lot of thinking, it is a worthwhile trip. Colorful activities build a bridge of interest In recent years, China's museum industry has made rapid development. A large number of museums have sprung up in the process of protecting, inheriting and carrying forward the Yellow River culture, Yangtze River culture, long march culture, May 4th spirit, red boat spirit, Xibaipo Spirit, Yan'an spirit and flood fighting spirit. In the process of promoting rural revitalization, a number of rural museums also came into being, and there are many high-quality museums with prominent themes, distinctive characteristics, ideological, intellectual, artistic and interesting. The purpose of building a museum is to protect, inherit and carry forward the excellent Chinese traditional culture and the great spirit of the Chinese nation, but the biggest test is to make good use of the museum and give full play to its value of the times. In essence, how to let more people know about museums and give better play to the social functions of museums is a common topic faced by all mankind and the original intention of the establishment of "International Museum Day". Around the "May 18 International Museum Day" in 2022, various parts of China have built bridges of interest between the general public and museums through colorful activities, making museums at all levels play their due value. As the main venue of China's "May 18 International Museum Day" in 2022, the theme exhibition held in Wuhan is "Fu: the power of music - Early Chinese musical instrument culture", "God and man with peace", "both peace and peace", "harmony with the state", "harmony but difference" and "harmony between heaven and earth". More than 80 exhibits (sets) from 7 Cultural and Expo institutions across the country appeared in Hubei Provincial Museum, including Jiahu Bone Flute, Chongyang bronze drum Qin Gongkai and other well-known musical relics. During the exhibition, top experts at home and abroad explained the technology and cultural concepts behind musical relics to the public through a series of lectures combining online and offline, presenting a cultural feast. In recent years, striving for "the city of museums" has become the conscious pursuit of many cities. This atmosphere has driven the construction of museums and promoted the innovative ideas of major museums to attract citizens and tourists, so as to give full play to the maximum value of cultural relics. In order to welcome the "May 18 International Museum Day" in 2022, Xi'an gives full play to the advantages of the "natural history museum" and plans to launch a large number of theme exhibitions. At the same time, Xi'an also arouses the wide participation of citizens and students through activities such as "traditional Chinese hairpin production", "woodblock New Year picture printing" and "color painting dream in the museum" to enjoy the cultural edification of the museum; Nanjing launched the city's museums to carry out relay live broadcasting, which not only exhibited a large number of precious cultural relics for the first time, but also combined Nanjing paper cutting, gourd painting, kite, lantern and other intangible cultural heritage with national style performances, with constant surprises; Changsha Museum launched "Wow, museum" for children The mini exhibition will take children to know the past and present lives of cultural relics, experience the process of cultural relics restoration, and teach and enjoy the cultivation of cultural relics protection awareness; The Shanghai Museum has also specially prepared online micro courses for hearing-impaired students to introduce the treasures of the collection through sign language guidance, so that special students can feel the charm of ancient Chinese art without obstacles. Let cultural relics live and let history speak Precisely because museums and cultural relics play a special role in the inheritance of Chinese civilization and the exchange and mutual learning of world civilizations, the party and the state have repeatedly stressed that "let cultural relics live, become a profound nourishment for strengthening the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, and become an important business card for expanding the international influence of Chinese culture". In recent years, Henan satellite TV's exploration around the museum is worth learning from. From the Tang Dynasty Palace Banquet, which brought the terracotta figures in the museum onto the stage, to the "fat girl of the Tang Dynasty" shuttling through the museum in the "wonderful night of the museum", which tells the story behind the cultural relics and vividly interprets "let the cultural relics speak and let the history speak". The dance Poetry Drama "only this green" displays the collections in the Palace Museum on the stage and conquers the audience with classical beauty and freehand beauty. It also has the same beauty of similar tunes and shows the charm of literary and artistic innovation. In the past two or three years of continuous innovation in Sanxingdui, CCTV has made the bronze Dali people dance with the help of technical means in relevant programs, and joined hands with the host to enter the historical scene and report their home, which has also brightened the eyes of the majority of netizens. This not only made the bronze Dali people "out of the circle" quickly, but also brought fire to the Sanxingdui Museum. In addition to the "live exploration" of cultural relics in the museum, there are also many "live exploration" means in the theater. For example, in the Hubei Provincial Museum, in addition to the chime bell exhibition of marquis Zeng Yi, the treasure of the permanent town hall, there is a special chime bell performance to take tourists to the fifth century BC to experience the ancient ritual and music civilization; The Suzhou Pingtan Museum focuses on the historical development of Pingtan and the performance characteristics of famous schools. At the same time, regular performances give new life to Pingtan art, making it "live" and fire in the present. Let cultural relics live and let history speak is an important way to excavate and give full play to the "power of the museum". In this process, we should also pay attention to some problems. To activate the vitality of museums and cultural relics, we should always adhere to the principle of "protection first, rescue first, rational utilization and strengthening management" to avoid damage to cultural relics; Museum construction should not be "one side of a thousand museums", and the use of museums should not be copied; Museum exhibitions should not only have cultural relics without culture, but also show the history behind cultural relics, the culture behind history and the power contained in culture through combing the context and carefully arranging exhibitions.
