Learning History & Culture at Guizhou Museum

Welcome to the provincial museum of Guizhou, located in Jinyang, Guangshan Lake District. It is conveniently located along a major road, slightly opposite the Guiyang international convention center. Entrance is free but an online booking is required as there are many people who go to visit the museum. The architect who designed this building definitely knows what he was doing, it’s amazing, very big and very colorful even on the outside confirming the Guizhou motto: Colorful Guizhou. There are various floors once you enter, each section dedicated to different displays. There is the history section, fossils section, clothing section, silverware section, art section, calligraphy section and a special one according to me, the children’s art section (where kids showcase their art) There are also a number of souvenir shops in level -1 where one can buy books, silverware, dyed fabrics all showing the history and culture of Guizhou. It’s quite an experience for history and culture lovers and there’s a lot to learn. Groups can organize a guide to help and introduce different sections of the museum, for individuals, one can get a gadget with prerecorded audio introducing everything in the museum. I loved it. #gthatguy1 #culture #history #guizhou #museum #passionpassport

Guizhou Provincial Museum, Guiyang

We visited Guiyang in winter, while the weather was unfortunately cold and a bit snowy. Therefore it was good to find an attraction that was inside and was interesting. The museum is easiest to get to by taking the Metro and alighting at the International Conference Center. At the entrance, you need to scan the code and get a free digital ticket to enter. Once inside, you will learn about the history and culture of colorful Guizhou province. From the diverse people and their cultures and traditions, to prehistoric history and art. You will need to take about 1.5 hours to see everything, as there is much to see here. Definitely worth a visit if in the city. 👍👍👍 #tripblazers #guiyang #museum #tigeryear2022

Spring Outing to the Fortress (Part Four): Guizhou Provincial Museum ('In the Light'—Yin Guangzhong Art Documentary Exhibition)

A temporary exhibition at a museum is often seen by insiders as the 'boundary and pattern' of the museum. A good temporary exhibition can usually attract a large number of cultural relic enthusiasts and art lovers to make a special trip. From January 26 to April 7, the 'In the Light'—Yin Guangzhong Art Documentary Exhibition landed in the No. 6 temporary exhibition hall of the Guizhou Provincial Museum. This is the first art documentary exhibition held by the Guizhou Provincial Museum in its 71 years, and it has sparked a viewing craze since its opening. Yin Guangzhong, who passed away in 2020, was a native artist from Guizhou. In the late 1970s, the 'Guiyang Five Youths Painting Exhibition' held in Xidan, Beijing, caused a sensation, and Yin Guangzhong was one of the exhibiting artists. Yin Guangzhong was a native artist from Guizhou who emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. During that time, the Guizhou art circle saw many nationally renowned figures who left their mark on contemporary art history, known as the 'Guizhou Phenomenon,' with Yin Guangzhong being one of the representative figures. This person, referred to as a 'genius' by insiders, possessed extremely high accomplishments in painting, novels, sand pottery, performance art, stage design, musical instrument making, scientific invention, and other fields. The art documentary exhibition, themed 'In the Light,' consists of four major sections: 'Mountain Dim Light·A Wildly Growing Guizhou Naughty Boy,' 'Flame Light Emergence·Becoming a Talented and Famous Eccentric,' 'Chasing Light Reflecting Objects·Illuminating the Restless and Rich Soul,' and 'Flowing Light into Dusk·Painting the Last Attachment and Calmness of Life,' composed of more than 200 pieces of works and documents. The exhibition presents the historical process of Guizhou artists stepping onto the world stage through a multi-angle and multi-faceted display of Yin Guangzhong's artistic career, reproduces the development of contemporary art in Guizhou, China, and highlights Guizhou's cultural confidence from the contemporary art group portrait of Guizhou. After the exhibition ends, Mr. Yin Guangzhong's family will donate some of his works to the Guizhou Provincial Museum for permanent collection.

Spring Outing to the Fortress (Part 3): Guizhou Provincial Museum (Ethnic Guizhou)

Guizhou Province, abbreviated as 'Qian' or 'Gui', is a plateau and mountainous province in the hinterland of Southwest China. It is one of the cradles of ancient life on Earth and also one of the regions with the most typical karst landforms in the world, known for its spectacular and colorful karst landscape. Since the Spring and Autumn period, five major ethnic groups, namely the Huaxia, Baiyue, Baipu, Miao Yao, and Di Qiang, have lived on this mysterious land, creating the ancient civilization of Guizhou and laying a solid foundation for the cultural diversity of Guizhou. Today, ethnic groups such as the Han, Miao, Buyi, and Dong live on this land, together creating the colorful culture of Guizhou. The Ethnic Guizhou themed exhibition hall mainly displays the ethnic culture and relics of the Han, Miao, Buyi, Dong, and other ethnic groups. The exhibits include Miao women's clothing from Huaxi District in Guiyang, Miao embroidered square-patterned back fans from Guiyang, Miao colorful embroidered 'rice' and 'happiness' pattern back fans, geometric pattern back fans from Gejia in Huangping County, Buyi wax-dyed women's costumes from Liuzhi, Miao silver ornaments, and others. This Song dynasty egret-patterned colored wax-dyed pleated skirt was unearthed from the Coffin Cave in Pingba in 1987. The waist of the skirt is made of hemp, white in color, 31 centimeters long; the body of the skirt is made of cotton homespun, 62.5 centimeters long and 51.2 centimeters wide. The wax-dyed pattern is divided into two parts, the upper part features flying egrets, and the lower part has patterns resembling flowing clouds. This 'egret-patterned colored wax-dyed pleated skirt' combines the techniques of picking flowers, embroidery, and wax dyeing. The patterns are intricate and varied, presenting a rich and colorful appearance. The pattern is modeled after the egret patterns on early bronze drums, with large images, smooth lines, and minimal coloring, blending joy, rigor, passion, and generosity, reflecting the artistic view and craftsmanship of ancient ethnic minorities. It plays an important role in the study of the history of Guizhou wax dyeing, ancient Guizhou ethnic costumes, and their evolution. The Ming dynasty crown with nine phoenixes and three dragons inlaid with gemstones is 29 centimeters high, 38 centimeters wide, and weighs 1388.8 grams. The crown is graceful and luxurious, exquisitely made. The silver hat frame is decorated with dragons, phoenixes, and flowers all made of gold filigree, and the flowers are finely woven from gold threads. The front and back of the crown have different designs. The central design on the front is a large peony flower, with five phoenixes standing above it in an arc, and three dragons soaring at the top of the crown, with horizontal flower ears on the left and right. The center of the back features a lotus flower design, with gemstones inlaid at the tip of the pistil and petals. Above and below the lotus flower, there is a large diamond-shaped flower block and a butterfly, with two phoenixes standing among the flowers on the upper left and right. In the center below hangs a semi-circular large flower block, with curled cloud head flower wings on the left and right. The entire piece is inlaid with red and green gemstones, dazzling and eye-catching. Guizhou Provincial Museum

Guizhou Provincial Museum

The Guizhou Provincial Museum is located in the Guanshanhu District, on the north side of Guanshan Lake Park, and it is a new museum. The new Guizhou Provincial Museum has three floors, with exhibition halls ranging from primitive society to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Due to the mountainous terrain and scarcity of flat land, as well as the presence of many ethnic minorities, the central dynasty's rule over Guizhou was established step by step. Guizhou's provincial boundaries were essentially set during the Ming dynasty, and were further adjusted by Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing dynasty. Guizhou is all mountains, and it can be said to be the only province without a large plain. In recent years, Guizhou has developed rapidly, with tourism revenue surpassing that of Yunnan for two consecutive years, ranking first in the nation. Colorful Yunnan, diverse Guizhou. Worth a visit.

This is the Guizhou Museum, right? It's so stunning!!!

Guizhou Travel Guide The Guizhou Museum amazed me🎈 Wandering through the Guizhou Museum I really love the ethnic costume exhibition The patterns of birds and beasts on the silverware are lifelike The traditional ethnic costumes strike a chord Guizhou Provincial Museum

Doing a job especially interpretation is too hard and difficult most of the time you are too busy but no doubt this job gives me too much respect 🥰🥰

Guiyang Travel|Understanding a city begins with the museum~ Reading a city is like reading a book. The first chapter is opened from the museum. This is the most direct and simple way to interpret. Guizhou Museum, from which you can learn that Guizhou is a multi-ethnic province, covering Miao, Yi, Yi, Tujia, Buyi, Shui, Bai and many other ethnic groups. Have a different cultural history. The Miao, Yi, Shui, and Bai ethnic houses are mostly dry-column buildings, which is an earlier primitive house. Such a house can perfectly solve the problem of ventilation and humidity. There are many festivals in Guizhou. There is a ridiculous saying that there are 365 days in a year and 366 festivals in Guizhou. Every time a big holiday, men, women and children will dress up, and their costumes are also very fashionable, and the workmanship is exquisite and meticulous. Most of them embroidered brightly colored patterns, which can be described as beautiful. In addition to the exquisite costumes, there are accessories that are also full of watch. The basics worn by the body are made of Miaoyin. When you walk, you will make a crisp sound, just like playing a Cheerful music. These can be learned in the museum one by one~
