The predecessor was Changchun Temple, the "first temple in the capital". In 2002, the Xuanwu District Government and the Cultural Relics Bureau began to thoroughly renovate Changchun Temple. In addition to preserving the original architectural pattern, it was built into a cultural museum that is both a cultural relic and has outdoor and indoor exhibition areas. It was opened to the public in 2005. The museum vividly displays cultural content through the restoration and reproduction of three-dimensional cultural relics and typical scenes, breaking the traditional flat exhibition mode dominated by pictures and materials. The museum is themed on Xuannan culture and has 8 exhibition halls: "Long-lasting Xuannan", "Xuannan Scholars' Hometown", "Heroic Footprints", "Liyuan Scenic Spots", "South City Paradise", "Hundred Years of Business", "National Unity", and "Xuannan Cultural Protection and Development Achievements". Changchun Temple was built in the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1592). It was built by Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty for his biological mother, Empress Dowager Xiaoding Li, to support Master Shuizhai. Emperor Wanli named it "Changchun", which means health and longevity, and it was sometimes called "the first temple in the capital". After the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Changchun Temple began to decline. In 2002, the Xuanwu District Government formulated and implemented a protection plan for Changchun Temple, investing nearly 200 million yuan. In 2005, Changchun Temple-Beijing Xuannan Cultural Museum was opened to the public, and the Changchun Temple scenic area became a beautiful landscape showing the style of Beijing's ancient capital.

Philosophy related to the heritage
Interpretation from the perspective of Eastern philosophy: In Eastern philosophy, natural and cultural landscapes are often regarded as the embodiment of the harmonious coexistence of heaven, earth and man. Taking the Xuannan Cultural Museum in Beijing as an example, it not only carries the memory of history, but also is a space where culture and nature blend. From the perspective of Taoism, the environment in which the museum is located and the cultural relics and exhibitions inside together constitute a manifestation of "Tao", that is, the harmonious unity of nature and humanity. Every design and every exhibit in the museum seems to be telling the philosophical thought of "ruling by inaction", guiding people to understand the true meaning of life and the mystery of the universe in quiet observation. From the perspective of Confucianism, the museum is a place to inherit and promote culture, morality and etiquette. It embodies the spirit of "benevolence" and "ritual" by displaying history and educating future generations, and emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of people and people and society. Interpretation from the perspective of Western philosophy: Western philosophy often pays more attention to rational and logical analysis. For the Xuannan Cultural Museum in Beijing, from the perspective of Western philosophy, it is a meeting point of history and reality, past and future. Every exhibit in the museum is a witness to a historical event. They carry traces of time in material form, triggering people's thinking about history and looking forward to the future. From an existentialist perspective, the museum provides a space for reflecting on one's own existence and exploring the meaning of life, in which everyone can find historical fragments that echo their own life stories. From a phenomenological perspective, the museum is a place for experience and perception. Through direct contact with exhibits, people can more deeply understand the complexity of history and the diversity of culture, thereby promoting self-cognition and understanding of individuals and society. Whether it is Eastern philosophy or Western philosophy, the Xuannan Cultural Museum in Beijing provides a unique perspective for people to find themselves in the long river of history, understand the world, and achieve spiritual sublimation and cultural inheritance.
