Paleontological exhibition (1st and 2nd? floor)
Equipped with abundant fossil remains, Yuxi truly recodes the information of ancient creations. In Mount Maotian, Chengjiang, there are the fauna fossils hailed as one of the most shocking scientific discoveries in the 20th century, which has revealed a most important stage of terrestrial life history—the truth of Cambrian Explosion. In the counties such as Yimen, E’shan, Huaning, Chengjiang, and Jiangchuan, there are quantities of dinosaur fossils, which prove that Yuxi is the habitation of early dinosaurs. Here, people can either enjoy the astonishing development history of Cambrian life 530 million years ago, or witness the process in which the dinosaurs, known as Mesozoic dominator, developed from prosperity to extinction.
Chengjiang orictocoenosis is discovered to consist of 16 phylums, over 200 species, including 146 new genera, and 162 new species. They include the Yunnanozoon—the earliest ancestor of vertebrate, Fuxianhuia— the earliest ancestor of insect, and anomalocaris-the Cambrian sea king with the body length of 2 meters.
On July 1, 2012, the 36th World Heritage Committee voted for listing Chengjiang orictocoenosis as World Natural Heritage. Chengjiang fossil locations separately became the 9th and the 33rd World Natural Heritage in China and Yunnan, thus filling in the blank of Chinese fossils in the field of World Cultural Heritage.
Yuxi boasts the precious dinosaur fossil specimen in the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic (200-180 million years ago), which belongs to Saurischia. They comprise yunnanosaurus magnus, yimenosaurus, lufengosaurus huenei young, coelurosaur, eshanosaurus(therizinosaurus), ect.
The discovery of dinosaur fossil is of great significance for the study on paleogeography, palaeoclimate, and paleontology in Yuxi.
Prehistoric cultural exhibition
?
Archaeological discovery verifies that Yuxi is an early place where human appeared. About 1 million years ago, there were human beings who led a life in this fertile Middle Yunnan Plateau. This lengthy process developed from walking upright to boring wood to get fire, from forging tools to grinding tools, from fishing and hunting to farming, and from savage to civilization, thus creating the unique prehistoric culture.
It is discovered that Yuxi is now composed of two hominid sites in Palaeolithic Age, namely, Gantangqing, Luju Town, Jiangchuan County, and Laolongdong, Tadian Town, E’shan County. In these two sites, there are a large quantity of unearthed stone implements, bone implements, and zooliths. The site of Gangtanqing, Luju Town, Jiangchuan County was the early type of the Palaeolithic Age, which was 1 million years away from now. The site of Laolongdong, Tadian Town, E’shan County was the type of Late Pleistocene, which was10, 000-20,000 years away from now. It is the hominid cave site that is best preserved with the most abundant buried objects in Yunnan. The sites of the Palaeolithic Age cover the whole city. In particular, the regions of three lakes were the ideal environment for ancient human’s farming, fishing and hunting, living and reproduction. In these regions, a large number of stone implements, bone implements, and potteries have been unearthed successively. The stone implements comprise axe, adze, bracelet, ball, spinning wheel, board for making porcelain seal, etc; bone implements include axe, spade-shaped farm tool, awl, etc; and potteries consist of jar, pot, basin, bottle cup, etc.
Bronze culture exhibition
?
Yuxi was one of cradles for the cultures of ancient Yunan. Ancient Yunnan was a mysterious ancient country which flourished around the Dianchi Lake, and the three lakes of Yuxi from the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty. However, after 300-400 years of prosperity, ancient Yunnan vanished in silence, which has caused the endless guesses and imaginations of the later generations.
According to the archaeological discovery, bronze relics unearthed from ancient tombs of Mount Lijian in Jiangchuan County include a large number of complicated and exquisitely-made categories , which not only re-display the styles and features of ancient Yunnan, such as about economy, society, military, culture, religion and art, but also witness the birth, development and vanishing of ancient Yunnan.
History for revolutionary struggle of central Yunnan Province
?
In 1927, the Chinese Communist Party was involved in democratic revolutionary struggle in central Yunnan Province. During the following 20 years, the Party has been like a kindling, inspiring the enthusiasm of all ethnic groups in central Yunnan Province in overturning the reactionary rule of imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat capitalism. Additionally, it has rapidly developed into the raging flames of burning the old world to liberate all ethnic groups in this region. At that period, all people from Yuxi, either male or female, have made commendable struggle achievements in a bitter and tough context, thus forging an immortal historical monument in central Yunan Province.
Porcelain exhibition
?
In addition to Jingdezhen Kiln, Yuxi Kiln, one of the important kiln sites for firing blue-and-white porcelains in China’s Ming Dynasty
This Kiln was mainly used to fire celadon-glazed blue-and-white porcelains and celadon-glazed printed (engraved) porcelains, such as jar, plate, bowl, cup, stove, and bottle. The products were made of local porcelain clay and cobalt, and fired by dint of advanced techniques at that time. The production workmanship and pattern show that these products have robust styles, vivid and simple patterns, deep white and blue colours and free-and-easy painting techniques, besides striking ethnic folk characteristics.
The discovery and excavation of Yuxi Kiln have clearly manifested the production and development status of blue-and-white porcelains. Exerting a wide influence in the world, this site played an important role either in Chinese porcelain or in fine art histories. Its unearth relics have ever been exhibited in the regions such as UK, JK and Japan.
Painting and calligraphy exhibition
?
Chinese painting and calligraphy are the time-honoured traditional arts with unique styles. Yunan has made superior achievements in painting and calligraphy the Han and Tang Dynasties. In Ming and Qing Dynasties, the masters of painting and calligraphy came forth in large quantities, over 200 of who became notable inside and outside the provinces. In those periods, they have created numerous masterpieces, thus leaving behind previous cultural heritages for the descendents.
In Ming and Qing Dynasties, painting and calligraphy were prevalent, with various famous painters and calligraphers emerging, such as Kan Zhenzhao, Zhao Shilin, Ma Ruwei, Zhou Yuli, Zhong Yue, and Zhou Chuanjing. Due to the high artistic value, their works enjoyed a reputation among both the court and the commonalty， and even benefit contemporary generations. Additionally, these works have developed unique tradition of painting and calligraphy art, which has yielded arrays of fascinating achievements in either ancient or modern times.
Intangible cultural heritages exhibition
?
Intangible cultural heritage is the manifestation means of traditional cultures that exist in non-physical form, relate closely to people’s life and pass on from generation to generation, including traditional performance art, festival and folk etiquette, traditional folk craftsmanship. In Yuxi, there are 9 major ethnic groups inheriting their own traditional cultural heritages, which have penetrated into people’s daily life. All these ethnic groups have created and left behind precious historical cultural heritages as well as colourful intangible cultural heritages.
Nie’er Memorial
?
