China News Service, Zhengzhou, October 1 (Reporter Han Zhangyun) Henan Museum will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2027. The institute released "Civilized China: Yubo Calendar 2027" on October 1 in Zhengzhou, Henan, creating a "paper museum" for the public to present the history of Chinese civilization with images of cultural relics.
"Civilized China: Henan Museum Calendar 2027" selects 365 pieces (sets) of treasures from the 249,000 pieces (sets) of cultural relics in the Henan Museum. It uses high-definition large pictures and cultural relic introductions to present the shape, decoration, production technology, etc. of the artifacts. It uses images to intuitively display the style of the cultural relics and uses words to interpret the cultural heritage.
Chu Xiaolong, director of Henan Museum, said at the press conference, "We hope that this is not a cultural creative product, but a 'museum on paper' that can be placed on every reader's desk and accompany them every day."
Wang Guangzhao, a person in the publishing industry, introduced at the press conference that the cultural relics in "Civilized China: Yubo Calendar 2027" include well-known "treasures of the town" such as the Jiahu bone flute and the Lotus Crane Square Pot, as well as a group of rare collections that are rarely publicly promoted. The layout is planned according to the chronology of the evolution of civilization. A calendar is a condensed history of the development of Chinese civilization, building a communication bridge between professional research in museums and the public.
Fang Fang, a tourist from Anhui Province, bought four calendars on the spot and said, "Buying a calendar is like taking home the exquisite cultural relics collected by the Henan Museum. 2027 will be the centenary of the establishment of the museum, and the calendars also have collection significance."
Founded in 1927, Henan Museum is the largest cultural relic collection, protection, research and exhibition center in the Central Plains.
