Since the launch of the "Reading Nature" program, we have received many audio readings one after another, including local voices from Wuhan and many readers from other places. Everyone has a corner of landscape in their hearts, and they all have an understanding of nature, transmitting energy through sound, reading green, feeling nature and living a happy life.

In this issue, the column "Reading Nature" will walk into the Wuhan Museum of Nature, talk about the past and the future, feel the "vicissitudes of the world, the birth of the great stream", "livable city, beautiful dream", "natural ecology and cultural landscape" …...

As we all know, the museum is a university without walls. Entering the museum, the development and changes of the world thousands of years or even hundreds of millions of years ago are within reach.

There are many museums in Wuhan, scientific and technological, cultural and historical. On July 18, 2018, Wuhan has a museum of nature-the Beilin River Life Museum of Wuhan Natural Museum.

The construction of Wuhan Natural Museum fills the gap that there is no natural museum among the 114 museums in Wuhan. It is the first museum in the world with a great river as its theme. It serves as a bridge for people to understand the great river, cherish life and protect ecology.
