Mengcheng is a famous historical and cultural city at the provincial level with profound cultural background, and it is also the hometown of a generation of sage Zhuangzi. The original settlement site of Yuchi Temple in the county is known as "the first primitive village in China", and the historical remains of national key cultural relics protection units, such as the Ten Thousand-Buddha Pagoda, the Confucian Temple, the Zhuangzi Ancestral Temple, and Ma Gongfu, all show the massiness and brilliance of the Millennium county town Mengcheng.

Located in the south of Mengcheng, Mengcheng Museum is a comprehensive museum that displays the historical evolution and regional cultural characteristics of Mengcheng. The architectural modeling of Mengcheng Museum is taken from the ancient bronze ritual vessel "Fang Zun" and the architectural element "Han Que" in Han Dynasty. The whole building is elegant and dignified, simple and elegant, resplendent. The museum and the city exhibition hall are slowly connected by a slope, like a moving train, which indicates the rapid development of Mengcheng. Green grass is planted on the slope, which blends in with the surrounding natural scenery and has the artistic conception of "harmony between man and nature" in Zhuangzi.

The building area of the museum is10.2 million square meters, the exhibition area is about 5,000 square meters, and there are more than 8,000 cultural relics in the collection. There are temporary exhibition halls, exhibition halls of Yuchi Temple ruins, exhibition halls of ancient Mongolian verve and couplets. On the front of the museum hall is a huge wrought copper relief, 2 1 m high and 9 m wide. The tall and vigorous relief is like a historical picture scroll, telling the glory of Mengcheng for five thousand years. Above the picture, the golden sun shines on the land of Mengcheng, and the phoenix birds come to the instrument. The ancestors of Weichi Temple are working hard to create the ancient civilization of Mengcheng. On the Mount Beimeng, Mongolian characters with bird prints are engraved. In the center of the picture, a generation of sage thinker Zhuangzi, with his back against the rock and his eyes closed, is recalling the freedom of butterfly dream and feeling the great beauty of heaven and earth. In the relief, there are towering Ten Thousand Buddha Pagodas, quiet Lingshan Temple, majestic Nanhua Gate and exquisite buildings in various historical periods, which reflect the long history of Mengcheng. The legend of eight scenes in the lacquer garden adorns it, making the relief full of poetry and painting. When we watch carefully, we can see that many buildings are carved with exquisite couplets, which are full of the charm of China's hometown of couplets. The whole relief, from the mystery of bird-shaped artifacts to the romance of butterflies in Zhuang Zhou, from the beautiful legend of Mount Ji to the hometown of couplets in China today, all show the massiness and broadness of Mengcheng history. The whole relief runs through ancient and modern times, like a documentary, emitting the fragrance of history and lasting forever!
