Yangxin County Museum

　　The Yangxin County Museum is situated at the eastern end of the overpass in the center of the county town, on the north side of Lingyuan Avenue, and is adjacent to the Southeast Hubei Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Border Region to the east. It covers an area of 1,086 square meters. The museum is surrounded by lush greenery and enjoys a serene environment. In 1986, Wang Renzhong, then Secretary of the Hubei Provincial Committee of the CPC, inscribed the museum's name.

　　The museum was established in May 1978 as a comprehensive history museum, housing more than 3,000 historical and revolutionary relics. The historical relics mainly consist of excavated artifacts from within Yangxin County, including jade and stone tools, ceramics, gold and silverware, copper and ironware, paper and wooden items. Among them are three-hole stone knives and single- or double-hole stone shovels from the Neolithic Age; bronze nao from the Shang and Zhou dynasties; bronze tripods, bronze tiles, and bronze gui vessels from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods; ceramics and bronze mirrors from the Tang Dynasty; carved porcelain from the Song Dynasty; and precious relics from the Ming and Qing dynasties such as golden dragons, silver vases, silver kettles, silver hairpins, and silver combs. The revolutionary relics primarily include weapons from the first and second periods of the Chinese Civil Revolution, such as broadswords, spears, double-barreled homemade guns, landmines, and horsehair bullets. Other items include the seal of the Eighth Township, Thirteenth District, Yangxin County Soviet Government, the seal of the Executive Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, Yangxin County, Hubei Province, Jinlong District Party Department, and notices issued by the Executive Committee of the Yangxin County Soviet Government; banknotes and deposit slips from the Southeast Hubei Workers' and Peasants' Bank, publications compiled by the Soviet government, and the tombstones and belongings of nine martyrs who were executed during the “2·27” tragedy in Yangxin County in 1927. These precious cultural relics and historical remains vividly reflect the long history and glorious revolutionary tradition of Yangxin County.
