The Wang Shengda Museum is located in Xinzhuang Village, Gaojiao Town, to the west of Lianfeng Airport Road. The entire museum consists of a three-story antique-style main building, a distillery, a wine spirit pavilion, and a double fish pond. The antique-style construction area, covering more than 2800 square meters, is a three-story building with a traditional charm. Each floor serves as an independent exhibition hall.
On the first floor, visitors are greeted by a simulated scene of the Wang Sheng Rice Shop’s transactions. There are also two functional areas: an oil extraction workshop and a mill room. They display the necessary tools for the ancient oil extraction and rice milling processes, accompanied by illustrations and text.
The second floor is dedicated to the display of the traditional agricultural culture of Jiangnan. The walls of the exhibition hall are adorned with 21 Qing Dynasty ‘Imperial Farming Pictures’. The hall displays various agricultural tools from the past. Through the display of artifacts and explanatory texts, it authentically reproduces the agricultural culture of the eastern Zhejiang region in ancient times.
The third floor narrates the century-old history and future prospects of ‘Wang Shengda Rice Shop’ through four sections: the Wang family’s arrival in Yin, the establishment of ‘Wang Shengda’, the decline of the family, and the revival of ‘Wang Shengda’, combined with relevant artifact displays.
To the south of the main building lies the ‘Wine Culture Museum’, which mainly features live displays of brewing processes and manual activities such as winemaking, oil extraction, and rice cake pounding.The museum is open from 1/1 to 12/31, 08:30-16:30. There is also a display room for brewing tools, wine vessels, and original famous wines. Additionally, the museum is surrounded by lush trees and a clear stream, creating a very tranquil environment. It is a place worth visiting and relaxing. We hope that primary and secondary school students will truly appreciate the profound meaning of ‘every meal, think hard-earned’ after visiting the Wang Shengda Museum, learning to cherish food and respect the labor of others.
