Guo Bendong push open the door, sunlight into his own small museum in the rear slaughtered street, nearly 2000 various kinds of stones, such as helmets, small like fist, a variety of vivid images of the group synthesis. The long scroll of China's thousands of years of history is unfolding before our eyes. Guo Bendong smoothed his 37 - point hair, looked at the only seven yuan in the donation box, and said happily. "It's a hobby and a responsibility. I have to stick to it."
2000 pieces of stone tell a section of history
Zai Gate Street No. 50, the door is hung with a sign, which says "Stone said, the Museum of Chinese history and wonder." The museum is located on the two floor. Guo Bendong, the owner of the museum, took a reporter upstairs, pushed open a room with a space of about 30 square meters, and placed a four - storey high metal shelf on the three walls. There was a red sign on each shelf, and the names and profiles of various dynasties were written. Each group has a description of the historical story of a dynasty.
the museum has several windows, the sun comes in, these stones are clear, stubborn, ugly, and all, quality, color, scenery and shape are all prepared. The most admirable thing is that after the stone takes its natural form, it has also passed the ingenious design, forming a vivid figure, a vivid story, a father and a pursuit of the sun, and a Cai Lun Paper, peach garden... "Some of these are raw stones, others are processed and assembled simply." Guo Bendong carefully wiped his work. "Look at this group of peach garden, the black face is Zhang Fei, the red face is Guan Yu, and the white face is Liu Bei."
this has been done in all historical dynasties so that visitors can enjoy both stone and history, and Guo Bendong says there are dozens of these stones, nearly 2000 pieces, from all parts of the country.
the museum opened two or three hundred people free of free visit to
idea put into action. In June this year, Guo Bendong's museum was officially opened. Guo Bendong said he likes stones and likes Chinese history. Now he wants to share them with you. Guo Bendong took up a piece of stone which he was very interested in. The pattern on it was like Zhong Kui, "this kind of natural composition, you can't paint this artistic conception. The stone of a museum is not a glance, but a need to look at it carefully, and then to understand the story of this period, you will find that the more you see it, the more you will notice it. This museum is not big, but if you can enjoy it, you can't finish it in two hours. "
Guo Bendong said his museum was in the back street of Zai gate, and the location was not so obvious, so only when the weekend and the tourists were more people, the museum had guests to visit. "In the four months, there were two or three hundred people, among them the students and the old were the main guests." But this is the enthusiasm of these guests, to Guo Bendong a lot of encouragement and moved, "one time, a student come to see me here, the more like the more like, lunch bought at noon, from here to eat side to see." Guo Bendong said, he felt his own effort and got a strong response. "I'm not paying for this museum, but there is a donation box in which the money is donated by the people I like." Reporters saw that the museum is opposite the door, there is a glass donation box, but there are only seven yuan, dime, two notes, two steel. Guo Bendong said, after the opening, the box did not move, and all donations were in it.
collection of strange stones has been more than 20 years
"I have collected these stones for more than 20 years." Guo Bendong's voice is bright, and the words are rugged. When I told me about a stone that was tied up with a stone 20 years ago he picked up a stone that he picked up. "When I built my house, I found a stone from the filtered sand. I looked like an ancient literati, a big robe with a cup, looking at the moon, especially interested. I began to collect it, and I think this is a culture."
Guo Bendong's work is also related to stone, which closely connects him to stone. One day in 2007, he looked at the "Chinese general history" that he often looked at. While he was playing with his collection of strange stones, he looked at the Tai Gong stone in his hand, and Guo Bendong gave out an idea. "Can I make a history of China with a stone to make a.Quot; Stone said spring and autumn.Quot;?"
it's easier to think of it than to do it. Guo Bendong is familiar with history, but what characters and stories should he choose? Even if I think about it, where can I find such a suitable stone? Guo Bendong did not want to give up. He listed the Dynasty and wrote on the celebrities and stories of this period. So each time he found a good stone, he thought about the selection and combination, and finally enriched his collection.
for a reporter who likes to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars
Guo Bendong's Museum, the first floor is a shop, engaged in the stone business, Guo Bendong said, "I do this museum free for everyone, and there is no charge. I also live on wages, so I can only live on my own. It's a pity to have some business and self-sufficiency, but unfortunately it has only been sold for a long time.
Guo Bendong told reporters that, since there were many people at the museum on the weekend, they took advantage of the weekend's rest to serve as instructors, "I don't ask for anything else now, that is, I want to be able to hire a commentator." The reporter further asked, now, when there is any difficulty, Guo Bendong said that he did this museum, the rent plus human, hydropower and other costs, one month to spend nearly 10000 yuan, now has invested hundreds of thousands of yuan, so the government is also eager to give a certain support, "why is very difficult, do not own it." It's mainly economic. You have to have a house, and it is not enough to have a small area. As these must be invested, my salary is basically put into the system, because most of them are public welfare. On policy, there is no policy in the country. It is only encouragement. There are no specific policies. " "I like it, so I'll try to stick to it." Guo Bendong, looking at the stone in a house, said he had a feeling of satisfaction in his heart, because it was a commonweal, and he liked the feeling of sharing.
