"Inside" is an authentic Shanghainese dialect, which means "home". "Come to the back of the room" means come to my house. English "Open house peripheral family" means "neighbors' habit of visiting their homes" and follows the form of "open invitation", which is called "opening a house".

"Inside the room" is a heartfelt and warm word for every Shanghainese. More than 70% of Shanghainese were born and raised in Shikumen house. Nowadays, with the disappearance of Shikumen, Shanghainese living in commercial housing will never queue up for public kitchens and toilets as in the past; You can't stand on the balcony to dry clothes and chat with your neighbors like in the past. As for the women in Zhang Ailing's and Su Qing's novels who wear tight cheongsam and American stockings and buy imported rouge pollen by hanging baskets from the window, they have already turned into old dreams and are only faintly visible in nostalgic movies.

Nowadays, the "inner hall" exhibition hall of Shikumen in Xintiandi gives us a good place to remember old Shanghai and pursue historical memory.

It was preserved and transformed from an old Shikumen house built in the 1920s.

The whole exhibition hall covers an area of 367.2 square meters, with a building area of 5 13.9 square meters. It was built according to the model of one household and one lane in the 1920s. There are seven main exhibition halls, namely, the living room (Figure 2), the study room (Figure 3), the elderly room, the master room (Figure 4), the daughter room (Figure 5), the son room and the kitchen building (Figure 6). It not only shows the unique Shikumen architectural culture in Shanghai, but also reproduces the living space and lifestyle of Shanghai people in those years. It also introduces the concept and transformation and development process of Shanghai New World Project.

All the objects displayed in the showroom, whether stoves, children's textbooks, lipsticks and ashtrays, are old objects left in Shikumen Hutong in the 1920s and 1930s. Sitting in front of the dresser in the master room (Figure 4) on the second floor, fiddling with the exquisite "Baique Ling" rouge and the emerald hairpin, and playing light jazz on the phonograph beside her, all this seems to show you a middle-class modernist woman in the 1930s. She pays attention to details and knows how to enjoy life. From the English magazines and old sewing machines with Hollywood stills in the daughter's room (Figure 5), you can easily guess that this is a fashionable and energetic young woman. Compared with her mother, it is obvious that she knows the world better and wants more. ...

Through the multimedia, sound effects and projectors in the museum, you can hear the Shikumen life of a middle-class family in Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. No matter which room you enter, the vivid image seems to restore history, making people feel immersive, as if experiencing the life of the owner of this room. If you are in it, it can be said that the space is limited and the leisure time is infinite, so that you can experience the alley-building complex yourself.

In 1930s, Shikumen was a unique Lane residence in Shanghai, where most residents lived. In the alleys extending in all directions, hotels, workshops and newspapers will also occupy a world; Food stalls, shoemakers, hairdressers, fortune tellers and all kinds of outdoor professionals who cross the street all come here to make a living. Most of them are immigrants from all over the world. There is also a single store called "cigarette paper shop" in Shikumen alley, which provides cigarettes, toilet paper, old wine and various small department stores 24 hours a day. All kinds of people and businesses vividly show the various features of Shanghai, which is the most romantic and touching part of the city, and also embodies the social characteristics of Shanghai's "All rivers run into the sea" and "All rivers run into the sea".
