Liaoning Provincial Museum

📍Explore the cultural treasures of Liaoning, a must-visit destination on your Shenyang journey—Liaoning Provincial Museum! Located at No. 157, Wisdom Three Street, Hunnan District, Shenyang, this comprehensive museum is not only honored as a national first-class museum but is also one of the eight major museums jointly built by the central and local governments. Here, it is also the leading calligraphy and painting treasury in the nation, with a rich collection that is breathtaking. 🏛️Liaoning Provincial Museum carries a profound historical heritage, being the first museum to greet China's land. Its predecessor dates back to the Northeast Museum, which opened on July 7, 1949. Even earlier, in 1931, it was once the Mukden Branch of the National Museum of the Republic of China. Through the changes of time, it has undergone renaming, expansion, and relocation, and finally, on May 16, 2015, the new Hunnan branch of the Liaoning Provincial Museum officially opened to the public, and by the end of 2016, it fully revealed its mysteries to the public. 🌈The museum has three floors with 22 exhibition halls, 14 of which are permanently open, displaying historical treasures to visitors; there are also 8 temporary exhibition halls, with changing exhibits periodically, bringing a sense of freshness to each visit. 🔍Due to the rich exhibits in the museum, it is recommended that visitors plan ahead, understand the distribution and themes of each floor, so as to more accurately appreciate the desired exhibits. Personally, I started from the third floor and visited each floor from top to bottom. Although it took a whole day, there were still many exhibits that I only glanced at briefly. 🏰The 'Ancient Liaoning' series displayed on the third floor is divided into five exhibition halls and can be called the essence of the museum. Here, with time as the axis, it starts from the origin of human civilization in Liaoning and narrates until the end of the Qing Dynasty, including five parts: the prehistoric period, the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, the Warring States to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Liao and Jin periods, and the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, presenting a series of vivid historical scrolls to visitors. 🎎The second floor focuses on displaying ancient Chinese bronze mirrors, currency, Liao dynasty ceramics, Manchu folklore, imperial seals from various dynasties, and Buddhist statues, each carrying a profound historical and cultural connotation. 🏺The first floor mainly exhibits ancient Chinese steles, Ming and Qing jade, and porcelain, allowing one to feel as if they are traveling through time and conversing with the ancients. 💔However, it is slightly regrettable that some of the most precious collections in the museum, such as Zhang Xu's 'Four Posts of Ancient Poetry in Cursive Script', Zhou Fang's 'Court Ladies Adorning Their Hair with Flowers', Zhang Xuan's 'Spring Outing of the Lady of Guo', Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty's 'Thousand Characters in Cursive Script' and 'Auspicious Cranes', and Ouyang Xun's 'Dream Stele', are not on display every day, and one can only look forward to seeing their true form on the next visit. 🕰️The opening hours of Liaoning Provincial Museum vary with the seasons. From April 1 to October 31, the opening hours are from 9:00 to 17:00 (entry stops at 16:30); from November 1 to March 31, the hours are adjusted to 9:00 to 16:30 (entry stops at 16:00). Please note that the museum is closed every Monday (except for national statutory holidays) and also on New Year's Eve. Visitors are advised to plan their visit in advance.

During the Edo period, people's interests shifted towards contemporary fashion and customs, and a large number of ukiyo-e, which depicted various aspects of life, emerged, later becoming synonymous with Japanese painting. Ukiyo-e evolved from Japanese genre painting, influenced by the native 'Yamato-e' as well as drawing nourishment from Song and Yuan dynasty paintings, Ming and Qing dynasty prints, and related ancient texts from China. In its later stages, it also incorporated Western painting techniques such as perspective, becoming one of the most influential art forms in modern Japan. Early ukiyo-e art, known as 'nikuhitsu ukiyo-e', was hand-painted by the artists themselves, primarily featuring aristocratic themes. Later, Iwasa Matabei introduced popular fashions into painting subjects. Hishikawa Moronobu was influenced by Ming and Qing prints, combining printmaking with painting, which led ukiyo-e from hand-painting to mass production. This also resulted in a large number of printed color woodblock prints, known as 'nishiki-e'. Utagawa Hiroshige, Katsushika Hokusai, and Kitagawa Utamaro are known as the 'Three Great Masters of Ukiyo-e'. Utagawa Kuniyoshi became famous for his 'Heroes of Suikoden' series, sparking an unprecedented craze for warrior prints. Kitagawa Utamaro gained fame for his paintings of beauties, touching the hearts of worldly wanderers. Ogata Gekko was a self-taught artist whose painting style blended modern sensibility and technique. In the mid-19th century West, the artistic style of ukiyo-e propelled the painting movement from Impressionism to Post-Impressionism. Masters like Monet and Van Gogh copied ukiyo-e and drew inspiration from it. In the world of fleeting pleasures, only art and love should never be betrayed.

Manchu Folklore Exhibition The Manchu is one of the minority ethnic groups in China today, mainly distributed in Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang and Hebei. The Manchu is a nation with a long history. Sushen, Yilou, Moji, Moho, and Nuzhen are all inherited. The Manchu people gallop among the lofty mountains and ridges of Baishan and Heishui, following the traditional lifestyle of the fishing and hunting nation. The four seasons change, and everything follows life. In the concept of the Manchu people, man and nature are closely related. The seasons, the weather, the human feelings, and the world affairs all follow the same rhythm, extending in the same space, making the daily life of the Manchu people inherit the ancient customs in the process of cycling, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation. And the four rites of life. In the alternation of brilliance and dimness, the Manchu not only created one myth after another, but also left a wealth of historical memories and brilliant cultural heritage.
