Introduction

The Kunming City Museum is a historical museum and one of the popular tourist attractions in Kunming City, which is encompassed by the Yunnan Province in China. The museum is quite comprehensive for a local museum; all in all, it occupies an area of 5,000 square meters.

Although smaller than the Yunnan Provincial Museum, it attracts a lot of visitors thanks to its many notable exhibits. Some of these are repeats of what can be found in the provincial museum, but it has several unique offers of its own, including a historical exhibit offering a glimpse of the city’s history.

The Dali Sutra Pillar – The Highlight of the Museum

The Kunming City Museum is also the home of the Dali Sutra Pillar. Found on the ground floor, this pillar is an astounding pagoda-like sculpture from the Song dynasty. It is 6.5 meters high and is made with pink sandstone. The pillar is made up of seven tiers full of images of Buddha and statues of guardian gods perched on subjugated demons. The pillar is then filled with a mixture of Chinese and Tibetan script, including what is known as the ‘Dharani Mantra’. On top of it is a ring of Buddhas carrying a ball above them; this ball is believed to symbolize the universe. At the bottom, the pillar is supported by an octagonal base.

The Dali Sutra Pillar was originally erected by the Dali regent, Yuan Duoguang, who dedicated it to the memory of his general Gao Ming. It used to be part of the now defunct Dizang temple. It is considered as a powerful work that reflects much of the authentic energy that used to surround ancient Chinese sculptures.

Notable Exhibits in Kunming City Museum

Kunming City Museum covering an area of 20,000 square meters is a local comprehensive museum. Completed and opened on Sept. 29, 1997, the museum has an exhibition area of 5,000 square meters, consisting of five fixed exhibition halls and one flexible exhibition hall. The five fixed exhibition halls are:

1. Bronze Culture Exhibition

A brilliant branch of Chinese civilization of bronze, the Yunnan Bronze Culture is famous for its unique style, which was initiated in B.C. 12th century in late Shang Dynasty (1600B.C.-1100B.C.) and ended up in A.D. 1st century in late Western Han Dynasty (206B.C.-24A.D.) In academic circles, the bronze culture of Yunnan Province is divided into four parts on the basis of the features of unearthed bronze wares, that is, bronze of Dianchi Lake area, bronze of Erhai Lake area, bronze of northwest Yunnan and bronze of south Yunnan. Kunming Museum exhibits gracefully-shaped bronze wares of Dianchi Lake area, which were excavated in Dianchi Lake and its peripheral region. Bronze articles include bronze drum, bronze pot for keeping money, bronze pillows, bronze button ornaments, and so on. And all the pieces come from the tombs of nobles.

2. Ancient Jingchuang (Dhvaja) Exhibition of Dizang Temple

Dhvaja, or Jingchuang in Chinese, is a Buddhism ornament architecture in the temples which is generally carved with lections and Buddhas. Named after the Temple, the Ancient Jingchuang Exhibition of Dizang Temple was built on the former site of the Temple to protect the Dhvaja, which was inscribed as a key national protected site in 1982. Dizang Temple, in memory of the highest military-political official of the Kunming, was built during the period of the Kingdom of Dali (1096-1253). Its Jingchuang, caved from five red sandstones, is a pagoda-shaped building with 7 storeys and eight faces in a height of 6.5 meters. On the Jingchuang, there are totally 300 caved Buddhas, of which the highest is 1 meter high and smallest is less than 3 centimeters high. All of these Buddhas are vividly caved in elegant shape with fluent lines and fine proportions. In addition, kinds of Buddhism sutras are also caved on the Jingchuang in both Chinese and Sanskrit. The Jingchuang of Dizang Temple is praised by experts as the art exquisite that none other can not be found by its delicate carvings and the large number of sutras.

3. Dinosaur Fossil Exhibition

Chinese Name:云南陆军讲武堂历史博物馆
English Name: History Museum of Yunnan Military Academy and School, Kunming

Why is Yunnan Military Academy and School so special?

Yunnan Military Academy and School is a famous military academy school in modern history of China. In 1983, it was listed as the provincial key cultural relics conservation units. In 1988, the State Council announced it as the national key cultural relics protection units.

Introduction 

the History of Yunnan Military Academy and School

Auguste François (1857-1935), who served as French consul in south China between 1896 and 1904, during which he spent several years in Kunming. The photos have been provided by Kunming resident and private collector Yinxiao Jun. Go Kunming thanks Yin Xiaojun for providing us a glimpse of Yunnan at the beginning of the 20th Century.

13 students were from the first graduating class of the Wubei Xuetang, Kunming’s first military academy, which was founded in 1899. The students, who completed three years of training, are centered around an unidentified teacher from the academy.

By the end of the 19th Century, a little over a decade before the collapse of the Qing Dynasty in 1911, Kunming had become more than just a place to exile disgraced officials, it had become a strategically important outpost at the crossroads of China, Tibet and Southeast Asia. Creating a strong local military force had become a necessity, prompting the establishment of the Wubei Xuetang on the west side of present-day Cuihu Park.

The curriculum at the Wubei Xuetang featured four main subjects: Chinese language, mathematics, cannons and the military drill book (²Ùµä). The drill book used at the academy was a book of German military drills.

Shortly after the demise of the Qing, a new military academy, the Jiangwutang, was built where the Wubei Xuetang had once been located. Today, the Jiangwutang is still standing. A large mustard yellow building from another era, the building is one of the most recognizable architectural works in Kunming.

In Yunnan, there used to be two famous educational establishments. One is the National South-West Associated University, called the “civil” (wen in Chinese) school. In 1937, the Japanese soldiers began to attack Beijing (called Peking at that time). In order to save the education, three universities, Qinghua University, Beijing University and Nankai University were moved to Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province. The temporary university moved again to Kunming in April, 1938, and an associated university, called the National South-West Associated University, was established. After the Anti-Japanese War (1937-1945) was over, the three universities moved back to Beijing and Tianjing (Nankai). During the eight years in Kunming, the National South-West Associated University nurtured several outstanding scientists and educationist.

The other educational establishment is Yunnan Southern Army Military School (Jiangwutang), called the “military” (wu in Chinese) school. This school nurtured many militarist and revolutionist, for example, Zhude (1886-1976) and Ye Jianying (1897-1986), who were two PRC heroes.

Yunnan Southern Army Military School (Jiangwutang means “hall of emphasizing military affairs”)was built in the 1909.  It was one of the earliest Western-style military academies in China.  Most of its students were members of Sun Yat-sen’s fraternal organization, and the school played an important role in the 1911 uprising that overthrew Qing Dynasty (1616-1911) rule as well as the “Protect the Nation” movement several years later.

Until 1928, altogether 19 sessions of military classes were held, with 4,000 graduates. Every session lasted one and a half years to two years and included four kinds of the arms of services, infantry, cavalry, artillery and military engineer. The 15th session received returned overseas Chinese and students from North Korea and Vietnam. The main part of the remained school building is a two-storey post panel structure, with the four buildings in the four directions joining together and forming a courtyard dwelling. The school is 14,400 sq meters in area. The east and west buildings are both 119 meters long and 10 meters wide; while the north and south buildings are both 116 meters long and 12 meters wide. The grand Drilling Viewing Building, which is located in the middle of the south building, is 115 meters long and 13 meters wide.

All of the works exhibited there were installations having to do with the idea of the classroom, looking to interrogate the changes in both Chinese traditional education and the Western educational model, and thinking about reactions to the process of modernization.

Yunnan Provincial Museum is located in the east section of Guangfu Road in Guandu District. As a comprehensive museum, it has rich collections of more than 200,000 pieces. For tourists, the museum can help them to know Yunnan’s history and the rich ethnic culture; for history lovers, its rich collections give them the opportunity to better understand Yunnan and the ancient Dian Kingdom’s (278 – 115BC) historical features as well as bronze culture.

History of Yunnan Provincial Museum

Founded in 1951, the Yunnan Provincial Museum is a comprehensive museum. Since that year it has collected various kinds of special items with historical and ethnic features from archaeological excavations, purchases from collectors and has been the recipient of donations from organizations.

Among these items, more than 1000 are categorized as first class cultural relics at state level.

From 1955 to 1960, an extensive tomb excavation was conducted in the ancient tomb clusters of  Jingning Shizaishan in Yuxi city, Yunnan. The large amount of bronze wares from this excavation unveiled the mysterious legend of the Ancient Dian Kingdom recorded in ancient Chinese historical literature back to more 2000 years ago.  Later on these were regarded as Shi Zai Shan (Stone Village Mountain) Culture.

In 1972, the tomb excavation in Li Jia Shan in Jiang Chuan County made it another important archaeological site for Shi Zai Shan Culture. The excavated items presented more evidence for people to understand the Ancient Dian Kingdom, enabling people to understand this long lost civilization on China’s frontier.

From 1975 to 1976, there was another archeological dig at Wang Jia Ba in Chuxiong. About 1245 items were found which are believed to belong to the period of Spring and Autumn of the West Han Dynasty in ancient China (around 770 BC to second century AD). Among these important unearthed art works there are five bronze drums that could be dated back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

The Name of “Flying Tigers”

In 1941, the 1st American Volunteer Group, better known by their nickname the ‘Flying Tigers’, began military action against the Japanese in the skies above China and Burma. Although supported by the US Government, the group was technically a mercenary ensemble and was sent to China, some historian’s claim, before the US had officially declared war on Japan.  Led by retired US Army Air Corps Officer Claire Lee Chennault, the Flying Tigers originally consisted of 100 rather basic Tomahawk fighter planes, each packaged and sent to Burma from a factory in the US. After being reconstructed and tested at the training base in Toungoo, each plane was painted with what was to become the group’s insignia – a shark’s head with bared teeth.

Related History

Supporting the Chinese military, whose airforce had been almost entirely decimated by the Japanese, the Flying Tigers achieved a number of important tactical victories throughout 1941 and 1942. One such victory included the discontinuation of Japanese bombing over Kunming, a city integral to the defence of Burma Road. In 1942 the American Volunteer Group was disbanded and replaced by the US Army’s 23rd Fighter Group. The name the Flying Tigers was maintained along with the group’s shark head logo. According to some sources the Flying Tigers destroyed 2,600 Japanese planes (300 alone in the first year), 44 warships and killed almost 67,000 Japanese soldiers throughout their four year campaign (1941-1945).

To recognize the role the Flying Tigers played in protecting the local Chinese population during World War II, a small museum was planned to open in a house owned by the Kunming Museum. However, the house was deemed unsafe to display a collection and instead in 2012, a wing of the Kunming Museum was converted into the a Flying Tigers Museum.

Exhibitions in Flying Tigers Museum 

1. Through a nondescript entrance lies a large entry hall leading to a wide staircase. From the base of the stairs a model of a Curtiss P-40 Warhawk can be seen hanging from the ceiling, backed by giant black and white photos of the Flying Tigers in action.

2. “Tigers in the Sky”: The exhibit’s English title is “Tigers in the Sky” and the history of the squadron’s origins begins immediately inside the door. Photos of key political and military figures line the walls, accompanied by placards in both Chinese and English that thoroughly explain the story of the Flying Tigers — officially named the First American Volunteer Group (AVG). Although the English descriptions are not grammatically perfect, they are some of the best we have seen in Yunnan.

3. Much is made of the iconography of the Flying Tigers and logos are displayed everywhere in the museum. Upon first seeing the insignia for the Flying Tigers, some people may think it a bit cartoonish. That may have been intentional — the logo was designed, in a wonderfully ironic twist of fate, by vehement anti-communist Walt Disney.

4. The emblems emblazon many of the leather bomber jackets on display and individual fabric patches also sit behind glass. Interestingly, many of the fatigue jackets in the museum are marked with camels on their backs. Each camel represents one Japanese plane shot down.

5. The final section of the museum displays a short black and white documentary about the involvement of the local Chinese men and women who assisted the Flying Tigers whilst they fought the Japanese. With the history of the Flying Tigers gaining momentum among historians, further exhibitions and memorials are planned for the future.

Related Characters

Claire Lee Chennault

Chennault was called out of retirement and put in charge of the Flying Tigers in 1941. He was chosen largely because of his preference for air combat over high-altitude bombing campaigns. Under his supervision, the Flying Tigers would shoot down or otherwise officially destroy 297 Japanese planes.

Chen Xiangmei (陈香梅)

In addition to spelling out his military exploits, the museum display focuses heavily on Chennault’s marriage to Chen Xiangmei (陈香梅), a reporter covering the Burma Campaign for the Chinese press.

Zhenghe Park (郑和公园) is a themed park dedicated to commemorating the renowned Chinese admiral and explorer Zheng He (郑和). Located on Yuèshān (月山) in the urban area of Jinning District (晋宁区), the park was established in 1958 and originally named Yuèshān Park (月山公园). In 1978, the local community renamed it Zhenghe Park to honor Zheng He. Spanning an area of 16.67 hectares (250 acres), the park serves as a prominent venue for showcasing Zheng He’s culture and promoting his spirit, thanks to its exceptional natural conditions.

Main Attractions in Zhenghe Park

The park features several significant attractions, including:

• Zheng He’s Former Residence (郑和故居)
• Zheng He Memorial Hall (郑和纪念馆)
• Zheng He Statue (郑和雕像)
• Sanbao Tower (三宝楼)
• Zheng He Stele Forest (郑和碑林)
• Mahazhi Tomb (马哈只墓)

Among these, the “Mahazhi Tomb Stele” is recognized as a national key cultural relic protection unit, and the “Zheng He Memorial Hall” is one of the first provincial-level patriotic education bases in Yunnan Province (云南省).

Atmosphere and Architecture

Zhenghe Park is characterized by its solemn atmosphere, where towering pines and cypress trees harmonize with fruit orchards. On either side of the South Gate, relief sculptures depict “Zheng He’s Seven Voyages to the West” (郑和七下西洋), showcasing a magnificent fleet sailing westward. The East Gate is situated at the midpoint of Kunyang Street (昆阳大街) and features a glass pavilion topped with red walls.

The park houses the Zheng He Memorial Hall and the Mahazhi Stele. Inside the Zheng He Memorial Hall, over 100 valuable cultural relics are on display, including:

• Zheng He’s navigational maps
• Models of Zheng He’s ocean-going treasure ships
• Various pictures and texts related to his voyages

To the west of the hall, among the pine and cypress forest, lies the tomb of Zheng He’s father, Mahazhi. Zheng He lost his father at the age of 11 and could not recall his father’s name. He only knew that both his grandfather and father had made the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca, earning them the respectful title of “Haji” (哈只) in Arabic, meaning a pious and knowledgeable pilgrim. Consequently, the stele inscribed “Public Name Haji” became popularly known as the “Mahazhi Stele.”

Additionally, the park features the Zheng He Memorial Pavilion (郑和纪念亭).

Zheng He Statue and Three Treasures Tower

From the main entrance of Zhenghe Park, visitors ascend steps surrounded by lush greenery and fragrant flowers. Standing at 5.55 meters tall, the Zheng He statue (郑和雕像) rises majestically on a 3-meter-high base shaped like a treasure ship. The statue was designed and crafted by Professor Wang Guanyi (王官乙), the head of the Sculpture Department at Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (四川美术学院) and a member of the China Artists Association (中国美术家协会), using granite.

Continuing up, visitors can see the Three Treasures Tower (三宝楼) on one side, while the Mahazhi Tomb rests quietly on the other. The Three Treasures Tower, constructed in the shape of a treasure ship, has three levels. Climbing to the top offers a panoramic view of Jinning District and the southern shore of Dian Lake (滇池).

The discovery of the Mahazhi Tomb has clarified important details regarding Zheng He’s origins, confirming that he was from Kunyang (昆阳洲). The inscription on the tombstone is one of the most precious historical documents for studying Zheng He.

Jinning District Museum (晋宁区博物馆) – Zheng He Memorial Hall

The Jinning District Museum (晋宁区博物馆) is another significant component of Zhenghe Park and serves as an important platform for promoting Zheng He culture. Officially opened to the public for free on July 11, 2017, the museum features three permanent exhibition halls:

1. Ancient World (远古天地)
2. Civilization of Dian Kingdom (滇国文明)
3. Zheng He Culture (郑和文化), which includes a special exhibition hall for Zheng He and World Maritime Postage Stamps (郑和·世界航海邮票展厅)

The museum showcases a range of artifacts, including ancient fossils, bronze culture from the Dian Kingdom, and exhibits related to Zheng He. With a collection of 2,275 items, including 8,258 stamps, the museum houses the most precious cultural relics among all museums in Kunming City (昆明市), featuring six national first-class relics, eleven second-class relics, and 156 third-class relics.

The Jinning District Museum aims to promote the “Zheng He Brand” by systematically and comprehensively displaying the historical background, rich materials, and significant meaning of Zheng He’s voyages to the West. Additionally, it organizes educational activities such as “Mobile Museums” that visit schools and communities, and events like “Understanding My Hometown, Loving My Hometown,” to strengthen the communication and dissemination of Zheng He culture.

On November 30, 2022, the “Zheng He Cultural Venue Alliance” (郑和文化场馆联盟) was established in Shanghai, with the Jinning Museum becoming a founding member. Together with 31 cultural institutions and research organizations from Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hainan, and Yunnan, they will collaboratively study and promote Zheng He culture.
