The Yunfang Museum, built by Yunnan Textile (Group) Co., Ltd., officially opened on December 8, 2018. With a total construction area of 2140 square meters, the Yunfang Museum is positioned as a center for the display of Yunfang's historical and cultural heritage, a window for the display of Yunnan's industrial civilization, a center for cultural and creative exchanges, a base for the inheritance of corporate spirit, and a base for patriotic education. It focuses on the industrial civilization history, commercial changes, and the thematic cultural and creative business development of Yunfang as Yunnan's first modern textile enterprise, including its founding, glory, party building, craftsmanship, workers' life, and cultural and creative themes. The epitaph of the 'Four Heroes Monument' for the tomb of Lady Gao, mother of Miao Jia (1883-1928), a lieutenant general in the Republic of China army and head of the Yunnan Provincial Finance Department; Miao Yuntai (1894-1988), a famous patriot and political activist, and founder of Yunfang, and his two brothers. The text, calligraphy, and seals are all by renowned scholars, and the monument, verified by Mr. Li Genyuan, is known as the 'Four Heroes Monument' and has extremely high calligraphic art and historical research value. I stumbled upon the Yunfang Museum, which was just a casual mention of visiting the popular Yunfang photo spot, and I had to go in and see for myself. The museum is not very large, and I walked and viewed at a slower pace, taking nearly 30 minutes to see everything from start to finish. It detailed how Yunfang originated, with the founder being Mr. Miao Yuntai. It involved a lot of relevant process materials and historical changes. The most interesting part was a Yunfang dormitory, which was a good spot for taking photos and checking in. The most intriguing point for me was that companies in the past were truly excellent because the employees lived inside the factory premises, so after daily work, various hobby classes were set up, allowing employees to combine work and leisure. Why do modern people feel more and more empty? Perhaps it's the intensity of internal competition, or maybe it's the drawbacks of the internet age. It always feels like having seen something is like experiencing it, preferring to stare at a phone all day rather than doing something truly beneficial.
