As night falls, the lights of the Gansu Provincial Museum light up, and the deep and melodious melody of the horsehead fiddle echoes in the hall. Recently, the Gansu Provincial Museum launched the "Full Power - Museum Sailing Night" event. On one side of the hall, the "Catching Horses" market opened with excitement. Tourists lined up, waiting to take a photo with the "Green Horse" doll. In the flipping game on the side, greetings such as "safe now" and "energy soon" sparked bursts of laughter. The most eye-catching feature is the runway show with the theme of "full throttle". In the flickering lights, models dressed in "green horse" element costumes appeared one after another, holding scarves and gift boxes with copper galloping patterns in their hands, walking slowly between the stage and the audience. At the beginning of the new year, we hope that this night tour with the theme of Copper Running Horse Cultural and Creative 'Green Horse' IP will provide viewers with a unique cultural experience that can be seen, traveled, and experienced. ”Wu Xiaoyu, Creative Director of the Cultural and Creative Center of Gansu Provincial Museum, said. In the 1960s, this bronze horse with hooves that grazed a falcon and galloped through the air was unearthed from the Leitai Han Tomb in Wuwei City, Gansu Province. Along with the bronze galloping horse, there is also a bronze chariot and horse ceremonial figurine formation consisting of 28 horses, 1 cow, 13 carriages, 1 ox cart, 17 spear wielding warriors, and 28 slaves, which is magnificent. For many years, the image of the bronze galloping horse standing on one leg for thousands of years without collapsing has always been a subject of curiosity. The key lies in its' iron and copper legs', just like adding steel bars to a cement column, "said Ban Rui, director of the Gansu Provincial Museum. The ancients used the pottery casting method to cast the horse head, body, legs and other components separately, and then cast them together. Through different metal combinations, the strength and support were increased. Every morning when the dawn begins, the Gansu Provincial Museum opens, and a rushing crowd of people flock to the mysterious bronze galloping horses. The museum at night is even more lively, and the extended opening hours increase the opportunity for visitors to meet with cultural relics. Visitors can also experience the charm of exploring bronze horses at night through different lighting and activities. The "Green Horse" series, based on the copper galloping horse, became a popular cultural and creative product as early as 2022. That time, while the cultural and creative team was repeatedly studying the beauty of the bronze galloping horse shape, their gaze turned to the grinning expression on the front of the cultural relic. The originally solemn bronze image suddenly added a relaxed and festive atmosphere. Subsequently, the plush "green horse" dancing gymnastics was born and quickly entered the public eye. That year, the dolls sold out and the museum came to see the endless procession of bronze galloping horses. ”Wu Xiaoyu recalled. Creativity seems like a valve has been opened. The "Green Horse" series has gradually expanded from plush toys to refrigerator stickers, carpets, co branded yogurt, and extended to the theme cultural space of "Green Horse and Friends' Home". The cultural expression centered around the bronze galloping horse has extended from a single cultural relic image to cultural and creative products, gradually converging into a horse themed cultural and museum feast. In the "Full Power" New Year's cultural and creative series launched this year, Green Horse has put on a red "outer shirt". During the night tour, the Silk Road Civilization Exhibition Hall on the second floor of Gansu Provincial Museum is open to the public for a limited time. The plush version of the bronze galloping horse and the lotus shaped glass cup, which made their debut, were placed in a corner of the exhibition hall, opposite the cultural relics prototype in the display cabinet. The experience of night tours is very special, it feels like having a relaxed conversation with cultural relics. ”Li Yu, a 27 year old citizen of Lanzhou City, said. Before and after the Spring Festival, the Gansu Provincial Museum will successively launch more themed exhibitions and social education activities, such as the "Tiansi - Bronze Running Horse National Treasure Special Exhibition" and the "Traditional Festival Series Spring Festival Series Activities - 'Qiji Touring the Longyuan Vein and Starting a New Chapter'", to enrich the public's experience of horse culture.
