The Liuyang Museum opened to the public on June 25. A joint exhibition of revolutionary cultural relics of the Hunan-Jiangxi border area opened at the museum that day, attracting numerous visitors. Hu Deping, former deputy director of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee and former Party secretary of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and other descendants of Liuyang-born revolutionary predecessors, participated.

The Liuyang Museum covers an area of 8,000 square meters. Five years have been spent on site selection, architectural design, main body construction, display content design, form design, and display facilities installation. “The museum houses nearly 10,000 pieces or sets of cultural relics, including more than 1,000 pieces or sets precious cultural relics and over 800 pieces or sets of revolutionary relics,” said Xun Chunlin, the curator of the museum. A total of 75 immovable revolutionary cultural relics, and 9,937 pieces or sets of state-owned movable cultural relics have been found in Liuyang.

The first floor of the museum displays Liuyang’s physical geography, ancient history, folk culture and customs, and intangible cultural heritage. The second floor presents and eulogizes the Liuyang people who have made outstanding contributions to the national independence and rejuvenation in modern times.

The joint exhibition was co-organized by members of the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Area Red Cultural Tourism Community, including Liuyang City and Guidong County in Hunan Province and 24 counties, county-level cities and districts in Jiangxi Province such as Luxi County, Xiushui County, Tonggu County and Jinggangshan City.

The exhibition is composed of four parts featuring CPC founding, army founding, government establishment and the glorious starting point. It uses cultural relics and historical materials to review major historical events from the founding of the CPC to the establishment of the Provisional Central Government of the Soviet Republic of China. It highlights the unique and prominent role of the Hunan-Jiangxi border area in the Chinese revolution history.
