Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum, also known as Chongqing Museum, is among the first national first-class museums and a state-level museum jointly established by the central and local governments. Located in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, it faces the Chongqing People's Grand Hall. Its predecessor, the Southwest Museum, was established in March 1951 and renamed Chongqing Museum in June 1955. In September 2000, with the approval of the General Office of the State Council, it was officially established and additionally named "Chongqing Museum." The new museum opened to the public on June 18, 2005. Covering an area of 30,000 square meters, the museum has an exhibition hall area of 20,858 square meters. The exhibitions include four permanent displays, six thematic exhibitions, one 360-degree full-circle cinema, one half-diorama exhibition, one visitor practice center, and three temporary exhibitions.

  Among the 113,500-plus collected items (sets) at Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum, approximately one-sixth were donated by the public. Among the hundreds of donors, the older generation revolutionaries Li Chuli and Liu Jun are undoubtedly outstanding representatives. In April 1983, the couple donated 534 cultural relics (sets) to Chongqing Museum free of charge. Their donation was extensive in scope, diverse in categories, and exceptional in quality. Expert appraisal identified 306 items (sets) as precious cultural relics, including 27 first-grade relics, 114 second-grade relics, and 165 third-grade relics. In 1990, the couple donated dozens of additional items, including purple clay teaware, bronze ware, porcelain, and stone sculptures, to Chongqing Museum. After Mr. Li's passing, Ms. Liu Jun also donated books and furniture used by him. The donated relics are vast in quantity, broad in range, and exquisite in quality, with 307 items (sets) appraised as precious cultural relics, including 28 first-grade relics and 115 second-grade relics. To commemorate the selfless donation of Li Chuli and Liu Jun, the Three Gorges Museum dedicated an exhibition hall to display their donated relics in batches for visitors. In January 2019, Chongqing Qingwen Technology Co., Ltd. collaborated with the Three Gorges Museum to upgrade the sound environment of the original "Li Chuli Donated Cultural Relics Exhibition." The project was completed and opened to the public before the Chinese New Year.

 To the left of the entrance of the newly opened "Li Chuli and Liu Jun Couple Donated Cultural Relics Exhibition" hall, a study room restoration area was designed. Qingwen Technology ingeniously designed the sound for this study room restoration area by installing the "Doctor of Directional Sound" on the ceiling in the upper left corner, directing sound toward the opposite wall and projecting it at a downward angle onto a scroll painting on the wall. Using unique sound processing technology, every visitor passing through the study room restoration area experiences a magical feeling of "sound emanating from the painting." Combined with traditional Chinese furniture and furnishings, the gentle sounds of traditional string instruments in the background allow visitors to better appreciate the couple's deep attachment and love for traditional Chinese art.

  Upon leaving the study room restoration area, visitors will notice that the sound of the string instruments instantly diminishes and blends into the ambient noise, becoming inaudible. What follows is a display of the various cultural relics donated by Li Chuli and Liu Jun, ranging widely in size and type. A large touch screen is mounted on the wall in the middle of the exhibition hall. Using the "Doctor of Listening," Qingwen Technology projects the sound from the screen downward onto visitors watching the videos. This allows visitors standing in front of the screen to clearly hear the content being played, while those outside the viewing area do not hear the sound from the screen and are free from any disturbances caused by sound dispersion or reflection.

  Thus, a unique scene unfolds here: on one side, visitors enjoy the audiovisual content on the large screen; on the other, visitors quietly appreciate the exquisite cultural relics in the display cases. Each group immerses themselves in their experience without interfering with the other. Through the "Doctor of Listening," Qingwen Technology has endowed these ancient and silent cultural relics and artworks with unprecedented brilliance and vitality against the backdrop of modern high-tech smart devices. They narrate long-sealed histories to every visitor...

The introduction of Qingwen Technology's "Doctor of Listening" product series by the Three Gorges Museum is part of the museum's intelligent upgrade and renovation efforts. In the future, Qingwen Technology will further utilize the directional sound technology of the "Doctor of Listening" to provide intelligent directional voice guide services for the museum's collections. This will allow visitors to freely listen to文物讲解 (cultural relic explanations) without the need to book a guide or constantly search online. Simply stand nearby, and the history you wish to know will come to life... Only by making cultural relics "speak" and history "break its silence" can modern people effectively inherit the essence of traditional Chinese culture. Through the "Li Chuli and Liu Jun Couple" exhibition, Chongqing Qingwen Technology Co., Ltd. also pays high tribute to the couple and all donors who have contributed cultural relics and artworks to the nation. It is hoped that visitors, while admiring the exquisite cultural relics, can also appreciate the goodwill and virtue of these donors. Their selfless and noble sentiments deserve to be forever remembered.
