What travelers say:

China was the first country in the world to invent and use clocks. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a timekeeping method for "copper pot dripping". Since then, the Chinese have invented the "guimeter" and "dials" to determine the time based on the operation of the sun. The early mechanical clock was made in Italy in 1270. In the seventeenth century, Italian missionary Lima Dou brought the self-tweeting bell to China as a tribute to the Ming emperor, unveiling the Chinese use of mechanical clocks. During the Kangxi period, China became the world's largest importer of watches, and the number of gong, toy clocks and various spring watches from the West flooded into China. Kangxi himself also developed a strong interest in the Western clock, but also specially ordered the Royal Ministry of Interior manufacturing bureau to set up a watch office, began to produce mechanical clocks. At that time, mechanical clocks were both practical timers, entertainment appliances that were pleasing to people, and crafts that were also exquisite. Juhang Collection, from Li Lun Collection, collected more than 2,400 kinds of clocks and watches, witnessed the development of clocks and watches in all countries. The "Nanjing Ben Bell" is simple and elegant, and won a special award at the 1915 Panama International Expo. The American Porcelain Shell Bell is a royal clock made in the 1830s, showing the life style of the 17th century in the United States. Germany's "pipe clock" is the nasal of the modern alarm clock, when people hang it on the body to report the time, the last time the wind can go 400 days, is the longest mechanical clock when walking. In the Juhang clock collection, as if in the time tunnel, enjoy different countries, different eras, different functions, different craftsmanship and different design styles of various famous clocks and watches. Rich play table, expensive Tibetan clock, feel the art built with time, let us forget time. #This summer is the nearest walk baby #Summer you will most play #Private Secrets in the city #Small crowds free punch card recommendation #Museum Wonderful roaming
