The basic display of the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall, titled ‘Red Boat sets sail’, vividly depicts the locomotive model in the scene of Jiaxing Railway Station in 1921
From a red boat to a towering ship, a small boat gave birth to a great party.
Entering the Jiaxing Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall, we gently uncover the dusty history, perceive the pulse of change, and look back at the choices of a generation. In the magnificent epic, amidst the surging waves, and in the fleeting moment of a glimpse, we recall that shining original intention.
On May 18, at the event of “May 18 International Museum Day” in the main venue of China, the top ten exhibits and exhibitions of the National Museum in 2021 were unveiled. “The Red Boat Sails – Basic Exhibition of the South Lake Revolution Memorial Hall” won the special prize of the top ten exhibits and exhibitions of the National Museum. The prize was also won by the CPC History Exhibition Hall, the People’s Revolutionary Military Museum of China and other seven industry leaders. In a series of boutique exhibitions, why did the basic display of “Red Boat Setting sail” at the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall stand out and become a special presence among the boutiques?
Planning an exhibition is like polishing a piece of art. This time, let’s walk into the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall and explore the story behind the “special” achievements.
Menghui 1921
A rigorous replica of history
That was an era of ups and downs, as well as an era of awakening.
In the center of the exhibition hall on the second floor of the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall, the red boat model reproduced in a 1:1 ratio quietly docked. Suddenly, we traveled back to the glorious years of a century ago.
In August 1921, representatives of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, who were in danger in Shanghai, arrived in batches in Jiaxing and, under the leadership of Jiaxing’s daughter Wang Huiwu, boarded the pre arranged boat. It was on this small boat that the delegates passed the first program and resolution of the CPC, and this cruise ship gained the name of Red Boat, which was recorded in history.
A small red boat ferried through the twilight of China, and the heroic words from a hundred years ago still echoed in my ears. Respect history, respect history, and restore history. The basic display of the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall, “Red Boat Sails”, is a rigorous replica of history: after 3 years of planning and 6 months of closure, the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall comprehensively collects and deeply excavates cultural relics and historical materials, ensuring that every image and paragraph has a source, and all maps are reviewed and checked by the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, reflecting authority and accuracy.
The exhibition hall has been undergoing renovation construction since December 2020 and will be basically completed by the end of May 2021. We have changed our single and linear narrative style, aiming to provide visitors with unique artistic appeal and ideological penetration, so as to gain insights and insights, “said Zhang Xianyi, the director of the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall.
The style of seeking truth and pragmatism is reflected in every detail. One of the Paris Commune walls in the exhibition hall is a 1:1 reproduction of its original appearance. Even the stone structure and wall texture are identical to the original; The Jiaxing Station Fire originally displayed.The locomotive is a style from the 1930s and 1940s, which was replaced with the locomotive style on the Shanghai Hangzhou Line in 1921; In the scene where Chen Wangdao translated the Communist Manifesto in his hometown of Yiwu, the original small thatched hut was also adjusted to a two-story building after textual research
With precision casting, there is no regret for craftsmanship. During the exhibition, a set of photos is still being talked about by the staff to this day. We carefully searched through the archives of the Communist International in Russia and found a photo of Yang Mingzhai, “said Zhang Yi, a lecturer at the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall. Among the 58 early Communist Party members exhibited in the exhibition area, there were no photos of Wu Yuming from Beijing, Chen Zibo from Changsha, and Yang Mingzhai from Shanghai.
For over a decade, the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall has gathered the efforts of numerous party history experts in Jiaxing, constantly searching for photos of these early party members, and visiting places where they have worked, lived, and fought. Now, photos of Chen Zibo and Yang Mingzhai have been found. Wu Yuming’s photo is still being searched for, but we will not give up, “said Zhang Xianyi.
A set of data reflects the sacred sense and sense of responsibility of the South Lake Revolutionary Memorial Hall to guard the spiritual home of the CPC. This exhibition hall renovation has increased the number of cultural relics and historical materials from over 800 to 1135.
Appreciate the Taste of Truth: An Unprecedented Bold Innovation
In my hometown of Jiaxing, not far from the train station, there is a South Lake where we can also rent a boat for a meeting… “In the exhibition hall, a conversation between a pair of young people dressed in 1920s style clothing attracted tourists to stop. This is Li Da and Wang Huiwu, played by Zheng Hao and Li Yiting, the interpreters of the memorial hall. Combined with the exhibition hall scene, they are performing the scene of a century ago on site.
How to break away from rigid exhibition forms and make history lively and vivid? In the place where the Party was born, the story of the red gene will be told in a more touching way, “said Zhang Xianyi, the director of the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall. This revision aims to leverage the expressive advantages of exhibition language and combine high-tech, multi-dimensional imaging, and digital means to give visitors a more direct sense of” immersion “participation.
Only through innovation can one stand out and catch the attention of more tourists. This immersive drama, “Listening to Wang Huiwu Telling a Big Story,” written, directed, and performed by the museum’s interpreter, is an exploration of inheriting revolutionary culture and inheriting the red gene..Attendees of the meeting.
According to statistics, the exhibition area after the facelift is 5620 square meters, covering 26 different scenes, 6 sculptures, 8 paintings, and 42 audio and video shows. In addition to using high-tech means to enhance immersion, the enhanced exhibition also adds interactive elements. Strolling through the exhibition area of the International Communist Movement, the melody of the “Internationale” is impassioned, slowly ringing in my ears. The 300 different versions of the “Internationale” collected in the exhibition provide listeners with a broader auditory experience.
Make it a reality to hear, feel, and feel. In the exhibition hall on the third floor, tourists can transform into the commander in chief of the “two bombs and one satellite” and operate buttons on the control console to control the detonation of atomic bombs and the launch of hydrogen bombs. With the countdown sound before the explosion of China’s first atomic bomb, the effects of atomic and hydrogen bombs can be seen through the launch dynamic observation window in front of the control console.
In the view of Jing Xu, the chief designer of the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall venue renovation, “the impact of ideas formed through the influence of art” is exactly what the new exhibition should mean.
“The memorial hall uses accurate historical symbols and historical scenes, high-tech means, multi-dimensional images and various forms of digital demonstration space to vividly show the whole process of the birth of the CPC, a great historical event, through the exhibition, hoping that visitors can experience a new high-quality artistic atmosphere in the familiar content environment while receiving red education.” Jing Xu said.
Some details are worth exploring. In order to fully integrate content, design, experience, and creativity, the spatial structure of the entire memorial hall has been changed. The exhibition line length has been increased from 800 meters to 921 meters, and the glass in front of the exhibition cabinet has been replaced with low reflection glass. The details of the exhibits can be clearly seen.
Reviewing the original mission, a spiritual inheritance that has been passed down from generation to generation
The smoke and cloud of history will not easily dissipate due to the erosion of time; The monument of spirit will only shine in the flow of time.
Shocking is a word that appears frequently in the mouth of visitors. In the exhibition hall, Zhang Xiaoping, Secretary of the Party Committee and Principal of Jiaxing Experimental Primary School, was deeply shocked by 60 different versions and languages of the Communist Manifesto of different periods. “The theme exhibition of” Red Boat Sails “will be a thick, fresh, and approachable red textbook by the South Lake
Among them, a blue cover copy of the Communist Manifesto is displayed separately, which is the treasure of the Nanhu Revolution Memorial Hall. As a national first-class precious cultural relic, this version was published in September 1920 and was the first Chinese translation of the Communist Manifesto, as well as the second printed version of the first version. It was translated by Chen Wangdao and donated to an elderly party member in Guangdong.
The South Lake Red Boat carries the ideals of a group of young people. The “Red Boat Spirit” is a unique spiritual code for young people in Jiaxing..Returning to February 2020, she set off to fight the “epidemic” in Wuhan. For 49 days and nights, Yu Chaoqin and members of the Jiaxing City Aid to Hubei Medical Team transferred to Huangpi Fangcang Hospital, Jiangxia Rihai Fangcang Hospital, and Yuanjiatai Fangcang Hospital. At that time, she was the youngest member of the third batch of aid to Hubei Medical Team in Jiaxing City. Her experience in Wuhan has become an important memory that she will never forget in her life.
In the exhibition hall on the third floor of the Nanhu Revolutionary Memorial Hall, there are many contents of fighting against the COVID-19, including pictures and materials, as well as protective clothing and vests donated by members of Jiaxing’s medical aid team to Hubei. In the exhibition, she once again looked back on her original intention and sighed with emotion that our country has become more and more prosperous and powerful in the trials and tribulations.
History dare not forget, our generation should strive for self-improvement. On the ceiling of the exhibition hall on the third floor, 490 military bugles are arranged in 5 square formations. The donor of the military horn, Dong Lihua, spent 40 years completing the collection work and even searched along the Red Army’s Long March route. He said: “Each bugle represents a glorious journey of the CPC. Now I have dedicated them to the Party, but I will always keep the hero’s trust and story in my heart.”
Detailed and authentic historical materials and cultural relics witness the struggle of the CPC from small to large and from weak to strong. This “red treasure” that has been kept on for generations is more priceless “spiritual wealth” for future generations.
Spirit is the sublimation of history, and history is the unfolding of spirit. In front of paragraphs of text, pictures, and statues, we see the mission of the red ship’s departure place. It is believed that more and more young people will walk into the South Lake Revolutionary Memorial Hall, relive their childlike aspirations, and draw on the strength to forge ahead. Like the red boat carrying the original mission of the CPC, they will break through the waves, forge ahead, and head for a glorious future.
