Museu Nacional da Escrita Chinesa, Anyang - Bilhete, horário de funcionamento, localização e destaques

The National Museum of Chinese Writing (中国文字博物馆), located in Anyang City, Henan Province, is a collection of modern architectural styles combined with the grandeur of the Yin and Shang Dynasty court. It represents a masterpiece of post-modern architecture, comprising a complex of buildings including the gatehouse, plaza, main hall, Cangjie Hall, Popular Science Hall, Research Center, and Communication Center, spanning a total area of 143 acres with a total construction area of 34,500 square meters. The museum houses a collection of 4,123 cultural relics, including 305 first-class cultural relics, covering various aspects such as oracle bone inscriptions, bronze inscriptions, bamboo and silk manuscripts, the history of Chinese character development, the history of Chinese calligraphy, minority scripts, and world scripts.

Standing four stories above ground and one story below ground, the museum is graced by a towering gatehouse. The gatehouse stands at 18.8 meters tall and 10 meters wide, shaped like the character “字” (zi), taken from oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. On each side of the main entrance stand two golden mythical birds, their exaggerated and peculiar forms adding to the grandeur. The main hall features a relief-gold top reminiscent of the Yin and Shang period, showcasing the characteristics of the Yin and Shang palace’s “four-cornered and multi-roomed” structure. Flanking the road leading to the main hall is a stele forest composed of 28 highly representative bronze oracle bone pieces, hinting at two representative elements of the Yin and Shang period – oracle bone inscriptions and bronze artifacts.

The exhibition halls of the National Museum of Chinese Writing primarily revolve around the development and evolution of Chinese characters. For example, the first exhibition hall introduces the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters, while the second hall showcases the emergence and development of bronze inscriptions. Furthermore, the museum also features thematic displays such as “A Piece of Oracle Bones Shocks the World,” “Chinese Character Folklore,” “The Splendor of Character and Calligraphy,” and “The Brilliance of Literary Collections,” providing in-depth interpretations of highlights and focal points in the history of character development and presenting a more comprehensive image of Chinese cultural heritage.

In terms of architectural design, the Xuanwen Hall, Huiwen Hall, and Bowen Hall, when viewed from above, resemble the Chinese character “合” (he), reflecting the traditional cultural concept of the unity of heaven and humanity. Meanwhile, through the exhibition of cultural relics and modern display methods, the museum showcases the essence of Chinese characters from various dynasties, revealing the structural characteristics and evolutionary processes of ancient Chinese characters, as well as the research achievements of Chinese civilization and language.
