Cultural China Tour: Qin'an, Gansu: Open Dadiwan with a Small Pottery Jar

2025-04-23   

There are too many tourists to keep busy! With the back of Dadiwan, we also have a 'cultural tourism meal'. Standing on the viewing terrace by the Qingshui River in Tianshui, Gansu, Wang Xu replaced the autumn bamboo baskets with welcoming fruit plates. This' old Qin'an 'who has been a farmer for half a life is now the owner of three homestays. I didn't expect a small pottery jar to drive the development of the entire village. Every April, peach blossoms bloom, and tourists and students from all over the country flock to Qin'an County, Tianshui City, Gansu Province to enjoy peach blossom festivals and visit Dadiwan. Since last year, with the increasing popularity of Tianshui's cultural and tourism industry, the characteristic cultural and tourism industry centered on the Dadiwan site in Qin'an County has become popular, and the Dadiwan Museum has received over 400000 visitors annually. The "Land Bay Countryside Complex" project on the south side of the site has been launched, deeply integrating prehistoric culture with ecotourism, and driving the development of homestays and rural tourism in 12 surrounding villages. The Dadiwan Site is one of the 100 major archaeological discoveries of the 20th century in China. Among the discovered cultural relics, the most eye-catching one is the colored pottery bottle with a human head shaped mouth. We designed a unique cultural and creative product based on a colored pottery bottle with a human head shaped mouth Explainer Gao Zhuanhong pointed to the cute and interesting pottery figurines in the display cabinet and introduced that this cute and diverse chubby doll has become a symbol of the Dadiwan site. Its surrounding cultural and creative products, along with other cultural and creative products in Tianshui, are exported both domestically and internationally. Through various channels of sales, the sales of cultural and creative products have increased by 50% to 60% compared to the same period in the past. Since the summer of 2024, 37 research teams from Canada, Singapore, and both sides of the Taiwan Strait have embarked on a journey of civilization tracing here. Through activities such as simulating archaeological excavations, making pottery, and drilling wood to make fire, teenagers from all over the world have personally touched the "temperature of history" and gained insights into the wisdom of prehistoric humans through practice. "With the unique singing method of Qin Opera Opera, the long history of Dadiwan, and the 'peach economy' from flowering to fruiting, Qin'an is a cultural treasure house that has not been fully excavated." Shao Yaofeng, Deputy Director of the Dadiwan Cultural Relics Protection Research Institute in Gansu Province, said, "Our mission is to turn intangible assets inherited from history into tangible wealth, so that villagers can enjoy the dividends of the times in the rapidly developing present." The changes of the sea and the land have brought continuous accumulation, and the wisdom of the ancestors has laid a long-term foundation for future generations. Ma Haoying, member of the Standing Committee of the Qin'an County Party Committee and Minister of the Propaganda Department, said, "Giving new life to cultural relics in protection, and unleashing the possibility of common prosperity in innovation, small pottery jars have become a way to open up Dadiwan, and Qin'an is constantly exploring new paths
