Liangfang Ganxi Folk Museum

Liangfang Ganxi Folk Museum

Located in Liangfang Village, Liangfang Town, Liuhu County, the Liangfang Ganxi Folk Museum was built with an initial investment of over 300,000 yuan and opened in August 2005. It is a patriotic education base at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, and a key site for the county’s development of red and traditional tourism. Revolutionary veterans such as Chen Yi, Xiang Ying, Zeng Shan, and Xiao Ke once worked here. In 1933, the 7th Soviet Workers' and Peasants' Congress of Liuhu County was held in this location. In 2012, the Liangfang Town Party Committee and government actively responded to the county Party committee's initiative to build "Red Liuhu" through Party construction efforts. They invested 120,000 yuan to renovate and reorganize the exhibitions in the folk museum. Leveraging abundant folk cultural resources, they continuously innovated carriers for Party building work, creating a new dynamic where Party building and folk culture mutually reinforce and develop together.

The museum covers an area of nearly 6,000 square meters and is divided into nine exhibition halls: farming production, folk crafts, dining customs, clothing and sleeping, local culture, folk customs, vernacular architecture, liquor brewing, tofu making, oil pressing workshops, and a library reading area. The museum houses over 860 items of historical tools and artifacts related to daily life and production from modern times, documenting the evolution of production customs among the people of the Ganxi region and reflecting the historical development of Ganxi’s civilized society. It serves both as a window for visitors to better understand the local rural life and production customs, and as an important platform for strengthening ideological and moral education among students. Ancient yet simple devices such as tube wheels, plows, harrows, and hoes carry forward millennia of civilization; printing woodblocks and paper horse crafts over 200 years old vividly showcase the wisdom of our ancestors; wooden utensils such as cookware and tableware introduce the long-standing dining culture of Ganxi; antique carved beds adorned with long-life nets, incense burners from the Ming and Qing dynasties, currency, government bonds, silver coins from the Republican era, as well as post-liberation items like cloth coupons, grain coupons, millstones, and looms — all tools crafted by skilled artisans — offer an authentic experience of the folk customs of the Ganxi people, providing both intellectual inspiration and spiritual cleansing.

Since its opening, the museum has seen a continuous stream of visitors, with an average annual attendance of over 10,000 people. Local schools regularly organize student visits and study sessions. The "Pingxiang Daily" and "Jiangxi Daily" have both published special reports on the museum, and the provincial TV station's program "Traveling Jiangxi" has produced a special photographic feature here.

The Ganxi Folk Museum allows you to experience the entirety of Ganxi’s folk culture and traditions in a single visit.
