I saw it here! The historical relics of the Tang Chang'an City square system

Xi'an, a city with a rich historical heritage, always brings unexpected surprises. This time, I came to the Anren Square Site Exhibition Hall in Xi'an to explore the historical relics of the Tang Chang'an City square system. Pavilion·Enter the Exhibition Hall The Anren Square Site Exhibition Hall is located in the southern suburbs of Xi'an, within the site of the Tang Chang'an City. The surrounding environment is quiet and distant. The architectural design outside the hall is simple and atmospheric, integrating Tang Dynasty architectural elements with modern style. As soon as you enter the hall, a strong historical atmosphere greets you. The exhibition hall presents the square system of the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City through various means such as cultural relics, pictures, and multimedia displays. As one of the important urban planning features of the Tang Dynasty, the square system demonstrated the order and prosperity of society at that time. Content·Exhibition Content Entering the exhibition hall, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge panoramic sand table of the Tang Chang'an City. The sand table reproduces the grand scene of Chang'an City in a miniature form, with a clear north-south central axis, and the palace city, imperial city, east and west markets, and squares are arranged neatly. Among them, Anren Square, as an ordinary square, appears low-key and unique on the sand table. Next, I visited the site protection area, where part of the real site excavation site is displayed through glass floors. From foundation relics to ceramic fragments, it seems that every brick and tile is telling a story from a thousand years ago. The explanatory board next to it provides a detailed interpretation of the purpose and historical background of these relics, allowing people to better understand the daily life of the Tang Dynasty city squares. Another exhibition area that attracted me was the Tang Dynasty street market scene restored through virtual reality (VR) technology. I put on VR glasses and instantly traveled to the streets and alleys of Chang'an more than 1,200 years ago. The shouts of vendors were in my ears, and the bustling crowds and dazzling stalls were in front of me, so real that I could almost touch the prosperity of that time. Come To Realize·Insights and Gains In the last area of the exhibition hall, some documents and historical materials of the Tang Dynasty city square system are displayed. Through these texts, I have a deeper understanding of the significance of Anren Square. It is not only a part of the Chang'an City square system but also a microcosm of Tang Dynasty social life. The Anren Square Site Exhibition Hall is a small and exquisite place that vividly presents the history of the Tang Dynasty Chang'an City to visitors. When I walked out of the exhibition hall, the ancient city wall under the sunset reflected the modern Xi'an, making me feel the integration of history and reality. If you also love history and yearn for the charm of ancient Chang'an, then the Anren Square Site Exhibition Hall in Xi'an will definitely be worth your visit!
