MANUEL CALDWELL

One of the four major first-class museums in Gansu, the guide to visiting the Pingliang Museum

Between Kongtong Mountain and Pingliang Museum I chose the museum In the whole Gansu, there are only 4 national first-class museums, Gansu Provincial Museum, Dunhuang Research Institute, Tianshui Museum, and the remaining one is Pingliang Museum. Pingliang, the first city west of Chang'an, but my only impression of this place is in the 'Kangxi Dynasty', Zhou Peigong persuaded Wang Fuchen to surrender, in the Pingliang Prefecture... Pingliang has many mythological stories in history. 📸Must-see exhibition hall Second floor 'Longbao Jinghua' Third floor 'Han Feng Cang Yun' 'Dao Yuan Kong Tong' 🏺Must-see exhibits ✅Boshan mythical beast pattern bronze zun: the treasure of the museum, Eastern Han Dynasty wine utensil, various auspicious beasts and feathered people, the lid looks like mountains ✅Han Wang Ding-shaped copper furnace: Pingliang is the fief of Zhu Yuanzhang's son Han Wang, this furnace was cast by the 11th generation Han Wang Zhu Densheng ✅Ming Er Long Xi Zhu bottle: Chenghua style ✅Copper Xuanwu: snake head spitting tongue and turtle head facing each other, snake tail and turtle tail entwined ✅Dayun Temple Buddha relic case: five-piece set ✅Various Taoist and Buddhist (Tibetan) statues: from various eras 📌tips: Free visit, free parking, the stunning degree of the exhibits in the Pingliang Museum far exceeded my expectations, it subverted my consistent cognition that once a museum has a flashy appearance, the collection must not be good... Climbing Kongtong Mountain is too tiring, visiting the museum is the right thing to do
