Wuxi Museum | 'The Charm of Wuxi' - Stories of the City of Wuxi

Wuxi is a historic and cultural city in the south of the Yangtze River and is also one of the important economic cities in the country. The profound cultural heritage and excellent industrial and commercial traditions have run through the entire historical development of Wuxi, forming its unique local culture. The story of this lakeside and hilly region has been unfolding since the late Neolithic period. The discovery of the Gaochengdun site of the Liangzhu culture and the Shengcheng site of the Maqiao culture indicates that our ancestors, through relentless labor and creation, started the civilization process from clan tribes to ancient states. By the Zhou Dynasty, Taibo fled to Wu, settled in Meili, and opened a new chapter in Wuxi's history. They not only brought advanced cultural technologies and dug the first artificial canal, the Boji River, but also created the Wu culture centered on agriculture and warfare. Since the establishment of the county in the Western Han Dynasty, Wuxi has experienced three major waves of immigration, and the impact and exchange of cultures from the north and south have injected new vitality into the economic development of Wuxi. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wuxi became one of the economically prosperous areas in the country, and since modern times, the century-long prosperity of Wuxi's industrial and commercial economy has been particularly eye-catching. The geographical advantage of being close to the river and lake, and accessible from all directions, the cultural genes of braving thorns and being pragmatic and innovative, along with the creative spirit of the people's relentless exploration and pioneering struggle, have together nurtured the splendid flower of modern China's industrial and commercial culture. Wuxi has become the birthplace of China's national industrial and commercial industry. Wuxi, a city of utmost virtue and talent, has been home to numerous outstanding individuals. In the tumultuous revolutionary struggles and the magnificent socialist construction, countless Wuxi-born righteous scholars have taken on the historical mission of national rejuvenation, writing the magnificent epic of the Chinese nation with their youth and blood. They are outstanding representatives of the descendants of Yan and Huang, the backbone of the Chinese nation, and the pride of the people of Wuxi. These outstanding figures, nurtured by the Wuxi culture that values virtue and education, have endowed Wuxi with a richer historical and cultural connotation. The thousands of years of Wuxi's humanistic history have been enhanced by their presence, adding a stirring sense of righteousness... 🏠 Name: Wuxi Museum. 📍 Address: No. 100 Zhongshu Road, Wuxi, exhibition hall on the first floor of the west area. 🧩 Exhibition: 'The Charm of Wuxi' - Stories of the City of Wuxi. 🕰 Time: 9:00-17:00. 🎫 Ticket: Free. 🚌 Transport: 10 minutes walk from Exit 5 of Qingmingqiao Station on Metro Line 1. 🚗 Parking: Underground parking at Wuxi Museum, or at the underground parking of Maoye Building.
