On the basis of the original archaeological site, the museum focuses on displaying the living relics of the people of the Han and Ming dynasties in the way of "the original site", creating a heavy scene of "being in history, traveling through the ancient and modern", which is a new way for modern people to understand the history of Xuzhou. important window.

Entering the Chengxia City Ruins Museum from Pengcheng Square, the red door has been opened, and in the middle of the preface hall welcoming the door, the seal engraved "Pengcheng" with white characters on a red background comes into view. In 2021, in the archaeology of the underground city ruins in the Confucian Temple block, the two characters "Pengcheng" were engraved on the pottery pots found in the ash pits from the Warring States Period to the Western Han Dynasty. These two characters come from here.

Historically, Xuzhou City has been repeatedly submerged and rebuilt, presenting the spectacle of "the city under the city, the street under the street, and the underground well".

Passing through the preface hall and entering the museum, I saw that layers of soil were removed, and sections of history woke up: modern times, Qing, Ming, Song and Yuan Dynasties, Tang, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Han and Western Zhou...Deep ravines and high walls, ruins and broken walls, constantly It restores the historical context of Xuzhou City.

The museum is composed of the entrance hall, the preface hall, the ruins hall, the archaeological hall, the sunken square, the water courtyard, the semi-open space of the grass slope and other functional divisions.

A dusty history book, a dream puzzle, reproduces this annihilated ancient city for us.

The museum adopts the first case in China with a 37-meter long-span column-free design. The gently sloping roof of the shell is connected to the ground of the square, forming a slightly upturned architectural landscape at the top of the north end of the museum, expressing that the ancient city, which has been buried underground for thousands of years, will rise from the ground of the square.

In the ruins hall on the top floor of the museum, a group of archaeologists are busy. They are either using tools to clean up the rammed earth layer, or gently brushing off the floating soil on the monuments, or picking up cameras to take pictures of various remains in turn. In the future, the museum will adhere to the public archaeological concept of "opening and excavation at the same time".
