Date:2023-07-23   View:

On the afternoon of July 22nd, the campers of the 2023 "China Roots Hunting Tour" went to Chen Lvsheng Museum in Yangzhong City for a visit.

In the Han Culture Museum on the first floor, the guide showed the campers pottery products over the past thousand years, such as the model of pigsties in the countryside, money jars, and the model of pottery stoves, and so on. These local elements and rural art, which is just right with the theme of the Roots Hunting Tour.

While admiring one of the drawings, German camper Kim Yu-xi immediately recognized it as a picture of Fuxi and Nvwa. The guide then enthusiastically introduced the mythological origins of Nvwa and Fuxi to the campers. Under the simple wall lamps of the exhibition hall, the campers experienced a feast of traditional Chinese folk culture, listened to the voices of the depths of history, and searched for their roots.

Then, the campers came to the pottery experience area, under the guidance , campers wear disposable gloves one after another, touching the artifacts, gently holding and placing, when the pottery sprayed with water, the campers Wu Yuekun said, "smelled the fragrance of the soil after the rain". In fact, not only the experience area of pottery, where the Qin brick, pottery barn, pottery stove, sealing mud, with hooks, pottery tripod, pottery cocoon jar ...... into a group rows placed, there is no cordon, no glass cover, the audience can get close to a detailed view. The campers felt at that moment, from the cultural relics so close.

When we walked to the second floor of the museum, we saw the landscape paintings in the exhibition hall. Rapeseed flowers, willow trees and reeds, which are the "specialties" of his hometown, are also included in his paintings. On the second floor of the exhibition hall, as far as the eye can see, the most is the bright yellow color, a large area of rapeseed blossoms burning and melting, like a golden brocade. Jiang Yonghua, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and deputy director of the Language and Culture Center at Jiangsu University, said to the students in yellow camp uniforms, "The clothes you are wearing are as yellow as these rapeseed blossoms, symbolizing that you are the hope of the future." The campers were inspired to stop and listen.

The most amazing thing for the campers was the final visit to the Bamboo Museum. Song Cheng, a German camper, looked closely at the bamboo products and noticed the unevenness when observing them, saying, "This is the only way to see that they are made by hand. It's rougher than the machine-made ones, but it's more real and more valuable". In fact, Chen Lvsheng, as a native of Yangzhong, Zhenjiang, has the experience of living in Yangzhong, where almost every family grows bamboo, and he has built this Bamboo Museum in order to give everyone a sense of nostalgia and memory. So, looking at the exquisite bamboo products, the campers couldn't help but remember the origin of this root-searching trip and the unique memories it brought them.
