Harbin Museum's Double Festival Cultural and Museum Feast: Activating Cultural Charm through the Active Inheritance of Intangible Cultural Heritage

2025-10-10   

In the early autumn of Harbin Museum, ancient shadow puppets dance lively under the outline of lights. Inside the venue, the audience's laughter and applause echoed one after another. I didn't expect to see such wonderful shadow puppetry in Harbin, "said Chen Xinsheng, a tourist from Guangdong, as he watched the excited children watching" Little Cat Fishing "." At the moment when the lights were turned on, those shadow puppets seemed to really come to life. The emotions and truths in the story need not be said much, and the children watched them intently, which was much more vivid than just preaching. "During the National Day holiday, the Harbin Museum carefully prepared a cultural and museum feast with traditional culture as its foundation and patriotism as its core. Four major sections and more than ten characteristic activities are launched one after another, transforming the static exhibition hall into an attractive "cultural magnetic field". On the 9th, Harbin Museum released data showing that during the National Day holiday, the museum attracted over 50000 visitors to experience the warmth of cultural relics and appreciate the thickness of civilization. The shadow puppetry performance lasted for seven consecutive days, like a flowing feast of light and shadow. The heroic spirit of "The Light of Starfire - Luo Shengjiao" is heart wrenching, the ink painting atmosphere of "Ancient Poetry: Observations" is fresh and elegant, and the childlike innocence of "Little Cat Fishing" is hilarious. The Longjiang drama puppet show 'Black Dragon vs. White Dragon' exudes a strong black earth atmosphere. The unique rhythm of local opera is combined with the clever manipulation of puppet performances, bringing the ancient legends of the land of Longjiang to the stage. The rich local music and sentiment make tourists feel refreshed. I didn't expect the combination of local opera and puppetry to be so interesting, "Ms. Li, a tourist from Jiangsu, excitedly shared her feelings." Through this lively form, I feel like I have touched the more vibrant and warm pulse of Harbin culture. "The Harbin Museum of Art during the festival is the intersection of history and the present. The special exhibition "Harbin in the Flames of the Anti Japanese War" has become the most touching "spiritual classroom". The audience paused in front of the yellowed newspapers, precious objects, and restored scenes, as if the smoke and clouds of history had penetrated through time and rushed towards them. Tourist Ruan Ping from Changsha wrote in the exhibition message book: 'Standing in front of these historical materials, I truly appreciate the weight of' peace is hard won '.' The Lu Yi Comic Literature Research Exhibition, 'Imprinted by the Times, Painted for the People', opens up the collective memory of a generation from an artistic perspective. These paintings are the ones I read when I was a child. There are big truths hidden in the 'little picture book', "said Ms. Zhang, a retired teacher in Harbin." Looking at them, it's like going back to that passionate era; The special exhibition of copperplate paintings titled 'The Victorious Pacification of Taiwan by Emperor Qianlong' showcases the ultimate precision of copperplate printing in the Imperial Palace's Imperial Secretariat, reproducing the historical process of national reunification and showcasing the great righteousness of the country in every inch; The "Exhibition of Calligraphy, Painting, Seal Carving for the 40th Anniversary of the Establishment of Xie Feng Printing Society" gathers over a hundred masterpieces by famous artists, interweaving traditional ink and modern exploration, conveying praises for a better life and blessings for the prosperity of the motherland; The Echoes of Time - Patriotic Lessons in the Clock Museum "takes the collection of clocks as a unique clue, cleverly combining the passage of time with the changes of the country, allowing participants to understand the stories behind their country while listening to the ticking sound. The study classroom during the Double Festival is a "cultural cradle" carefully built by Harbin Museum for young people. A series of practical activities that combine fun and education, allowing children to engage in hands-on experiences, dialogue with history, and empathize with their families and countries. At the printmaking study event, college students listened to the director of Heilongjiang Printmaking Museum explain the century long history of printmaking, following the fragrance of ink. From carefully carving lines on the board, to evenly applying ink, to eagerly covering paper and rubbing, every step immerses everyone. I only realized after making a simple print with my own hands that there is so much knowledge and patience behind it, "said Wang Yue, a college student who participated in the event while showcasing her works." This immersive experience makes traditional skills no longer just words in books, but history that I have personally touched. "In order to allow audiences who cannot be present to share this cultural feast, Harbin Museum has carefully created a" cloud art scene ", breaking through time and space barriers and spreading the beauty of culture for thousands of miles. The online exhibition of "Inheriting the Fine Works of Contemporary Chinese Famous Artists' Calligraphy and Painting" presents art masterpieces in batches in high definition, allowing audiences to appreciate the calligraphy and painting of famous artists and appreciate traditional charm without leaving their homes; The Mid-Autumn Festival special edition of Habo in the Camera, a letter from home sent by the bright moon from thousands of miles away, closely follows the theme of "family and country reunion", and combines the "letter from home" element in the cultural relics in the library with the powerful camera language. The heartfelt messages and warm images, one after another, outline the strong atmosphere of Mid Autumn Festival in the clouds, triggering widespread resonance and sharing among online audiences, achieving a "cultural reunion" that transcends mountains and rivers. From the dynamic inheritance of intangible cultural heritage exhibitions to the historical depth of boutique exhibitions, from the red infiltration of study classrooms to the cross mountain and sea of cloud exhibitions, Harbin Museum, during this Double Festival holiday, presents a warm and profound cultural and museum feast, allowing visitors to understand the national righteousness through participation, strengthen cultural confidence through experience, and truly "live" the cultural relics in the collection, allowing the cultural spirit to be deeply "passed down".
