The positioning of our museum is to combine art space with real scenes, using modern technology to convey the company culture, so that viewers can learn about Yutian jade, understand Yutian jade, appreciate Yutian jade, and feel Yutian jade, thus making them want to own a fine piece of Yutian jade.Through the portrayal of human history, combined with modern technology and art installations, customers can have a new immersive viewing experience. We explore the origins of Chinese civilization: Pangu created the world, and Nuwa created humans and repaired the sky. Legend has it that the stone left by Nuwa while repairing the sky is today's jade. Later generations shot down the sun, and Dayu controlled the flood, which created and inherited current Chinese civilization. A piece of jade was unearthed in Xiaonanshan, where we worship today. Scientific analysis shows it is 8,000–10,000 years old. The development of Chinese civilization is closely linked with jade, as the Chinese have always had an extreme preference for jade, whether in myths and legends, interpretations of jade, or even in words and phrases with jade. There is no derogatory meaning associated with jade in the dictionary.When people stand in front of the two-sided mirror in the middle of this huge stone that was split in half, it seems that they are positioned between heaven, earth, and the universe, bringing people and our museum closer together. Through activities and exchanges, we can understand the ancient people's worship and awe of heaven and earth.Feel that jade is sacred, noble, and immortal in the hearts of Chinese people. The first floor features an art installation experience zone, with an openwork design that leads up to the second floor. The staircase between the first and second floors is designed to simulate a real mining tunnel. On the second floor, there is a realistic mining scene reproduction. The raw materials are displayed in showcases, and the process of jade production is presented through a combination of holographic projection and live displays, offering a more immersive experience of the challenges involved in jade mining.
