The water from the south bless Huaichuan.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Project not only brought clear Danjiang water and a beautiful Tianhe Park to Jiaozuo, but also sent Jiaozuo a precious "national brand" cultural gift - the South-to-North Water Diversion Branch of the National Local Chronicles Museum (hereinafter referred to as Fangzhiguan).
At present, the Fangzhi Museum, which is undergoing an upgrade in exhibitions, is still constantly polishing, precipitating, and innovating. It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, and it will be sharp when it is unsheathed. In the future, this ingeniously crafted "cultural feast" and the party-building cultural park planned from point to area will become Jiaozuo's new business card, boosting the development of high-energy cultural tourism in Jiaozuo City.
Historical water control celebrities display
Water control culture is hidden in "Ruyi"
The local chronicle museum is located at the corner of the main canal of the Jiaozuo City section of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project - the northwest corner of the intersection of Renmin Road and Puji Road.
Looking down from a high altitude, this white building looks like a big Ruyi, stretching from north to south. It is understood that the smooth lines of the building have a profound meaning - they come from the idiom "water will come naturally": the appearance is shaped like water and means the channel of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.
On July 1, 2021, the Local Chronicles Museum opened on a trial basis, becoming the third professional branch of the National Local Chronicles Museum to open in the country. Currently, because the local chronicle museum is undergoing an exhibition upgrade, it is temporarily closed to welcome visitors.
So, what content has been upgraded in the exhibitions in the Fangzhi Museum?
The basic exhibition hall is located on the first floor of Fangzhi Hall. The hall is divided into sections such as water and civilization, water diversion for thousands of years, great projects, vertical and horizontal rivers, and water of happiness. At present, the exhibition upgrade of the hall has been basically completed.
At the entrance of the basic exhibition hall, the middle and eastern routes of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project are condensed into a large sand table with miniature real-life scenes of mountains and rivers, giving visitors a panoramic understanding. This is one of the upgrade contents.

The hall has been upgraded, using sound and light multimedia technology and carefully crafted stories to bring visitors an immersive shock. Among them, "Sand Island Story" uses the example of the extinct ancient civilization to explain the relationship between water and the rise and fall of civilization; "Century Concept" uses time as the axis to tell the story of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project from the conception to exploration, construction and water supply. ; Water control celebrities, water control works, etc., the stories are exciting and rich in content; 440,000 people were immigrated, and their stories of leaving their families for the country are touching...
It is understood that the newly upgraded content vividly presents water control in the form of multimedia culture and historical stories make Fangzhiguan a cultural classroom.
When leaving the exhibition hall, visitors must still be unsatisfied. A creative and meaningful upgrade is here again - a "Happy Water Interactive Screen" shaped like a big tree is waiting for you to interact. Visitors take out their mobile phones and scan the QR code on the interactive screen to upload personal photos and messages as a souvenir of their visit and save them permanently.
The Harmonious Relocation Hall and the Children’s Interactive Experience Hall are located on the second and third floors of the Fangzhi Museum respectively, and are still being intensively upgraded for display. On the basis of good hardware, these two halls have been upgraded to focus on the use of sound and light technology to enrich cultural connotations and innovate expression forms.
The indoor exhibition of the Local Chronicles Hall includes a preface hall, a basic exhibition hall, and three thematic exhibition halls: Water of Hometown, Harmonious Relocation, and Water of Rejuvenation. It is based on local chronicles materials and incorporates modern exhibition methods such as performance, interaction, and experience to give a profound understanding of China. The South-to-North Water Diversion Project is recorded and expressed in a panoramic manner. It is a national-level comprehensive exhibition hall that integrates a local chronicle hall, a memorial hall, a museum, and a science popularization hall.
Ancient Water Diversion Exhibition Area
Heavy steel weapons transformed into "sculptures"
The Fangzhi Museum is divided into two major spaces, indoor and outdoor. This exhibition upgrade is dedicated to creating a cultural space for water control that is linked internally and externally and is connected in multiple points.
On the green lawn outside the Fangzhi Museum, surrounded by green trees and flowers, various large-scale construction machinery are displayed in "groups", like urban sculptures. Restoring the water control scene is part of Fangzhiguan’s water control culture. They have also received landscaping upgrades since last year.
On the north side of the Fangzhi Museum, the "Yellow River" shield machine with a diameter of 9 meters, a length of 80 meters, a weight of 1,166 tons, and 12,000 parts and components, as well as an 8.7-meter-high lining segment that cooperates with the operation of the shield machine, witness The South-to-North Water Diversion Project, the most ambitious water conservancy project across major rivers in human history, was completed.
This project is a landmark, control project and "throat project" of the middle route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, and is of great significance. After many efforts, Jiaozuo City placed this "important national treasure" that had been abandoned for many years after its successful restoration, next to the local chronicle museum, and it has become the best "teaching aid" for water culture education.
On the southeast side of Fangzhi Museum, there is a trough lifting machine more than 40 meters high and weighing thousands of tons. It is also an important construction tool of the "retired" South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project. If the shield machine has witnessed the feat of water coming from the south "entering the ground" and crossing the river, this trough lifting machine has witnessed the miracle of the water coming from the south "going up to the sky" to cross the river.
The Shahe Aqueduct, located in Lushan County, Pingdingshan City, ranks first in the world in length, number of parallel water conveying channels, and water conveying cross-sectional area, and is known as the "World's No. 1 Aqueduct." This trough lifting machine is specially tailored for the construction of the Shahe Aqueduct, and its load-bearing capacity is the only one in the world. It is not only a witness to the "record-breaking" project of the Shahe Aqueduct, but also an epitome of the engineering and technical personnel's spirit of overcoming difficulties and technological innovation.
According to statistics, in the area of more than 20 hectares where the Fangzhi Museum is located, Jiaozuo City has installed more than 20 large-scale construction machinery. In order to make these heavy steel instruments more beautiful and more harmonious with the surrounding environment, the Municipal South-to-North Water Diversion Construction and Development Co., Ltd. has upgraded their aesthetics, transforming them from large construction machinery into urban landmarks and becoming park attractions that the public can visit. .
In the future, as witnesses of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, these water control objects will be used as cultural carriers to write enough "water" articles for Jiaozuo City, create red tourism routes with the theme of "water", and strive to create a characteristic cultural tourism brand of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project to play a greater role. effect.
| Cultural Park came into being
In recent years, Jiaozuo City has effectively strengthened party building, closely combined with the integration strategy of culture, tourism and culture, and actively created a party-building matrix that integrates red cultural tourism routes and high-standard multi-carriers.
In this context, based on the Fangzhiguan area, integrating resources from point to area, the curtain has been opened to create a party-building cultural park.
The park consists of three parts: the Municipal Party and Mass Service Center, the South-to-North Water Diversion Branch of the National Local History Museum, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Education Base.
Among them, the Municipal Party and Mass Service Center is located on the south side of the local chronicle hall, covering an area of about 8,000 square meters. The main design content is "two halls, five halls, one corridor and two squares", which is based on "disseminating party building theoretical knowledge and providing organizational living venues" A one-stop comprehensive platform for party and mass services created with the functional positioning of "building a convenient service site and centralizing intra-party business management". At present, the center is basically completed.
The South-to-North Water Diversion Education Base is based on the Party School of the Municipal Party Committee ( Administrative College ) and further improves its external reception capabilities through the renovation of the campus's interior and exterior buildings, the construction of outdoor party-building cultural elements, the setting of art sketches and the construction and improvement of lighting facilities. At the same time, we organize special courses on water regime education, plan water regime study and high-quality study tour routes, and create a high-quality education base that integrates cadre training, party spirit education, and smart study.
Jiaozuo City Party Building Cultural Park has set up a unique party-building on-site teaching route throughout the city’s red education base with the theme of “Especially Able to Fight”, with the theme of urban renewal, urban development and grassroots governance based on the theme of promoting the “South-to-North Water Diversion Jiaozuo Spirit” The teaching route and the water conservancy science popularization research route with the theme of "water culture" are three major characteristic routes.
In the future, the park can fully meet the needs of party members and cadres and the masses for intra-party organizational life, education and training, volunteer activities, talent services, convenience services, public welfare lectures, cultural and sports entertainment and other activities, and is committed to creating a high-standard, full-process learning process for party members and cadres Educational position and regional party education core area.
