Shi Gui, groove, beams composed Guibiao, you can observe the sun's shadow. At noon the sun to rise on the transit, which is the south, the beam cast a shadow on the surface of a scale in the Gui. The length of continuous observation beam shadow, we can calculate the return and twenty-four solar terms in the length of time and so on. Then, is to use this measurement method GuoShouJing determination of a tropical year length of 365.2425 days.

Memorial in three exhibition halls, visitors to show our dollars generation of astronomers and scientists GuoShouJing water the life achievements. Kuo Shou-ching has developed "timing calendar", exact inference to 365.3425 days a year, and presided over simplified instrument manufacturing, Yang-meter, high tables and a dozen other astronomical instruments. These results than in Europe as early as 300 years. His greatest achievement was in the water, from the "most GuoShouJing and water" can get a glimpse of the exhibition. Most of his life engaged in water conservancy construction, toured half of China, the size of hundreds at the completion of canals Park weir governance, most of the most outstanding contribution to the construction of water conservancy, has led the development of most of the time for the white water floating weir, opened Hui River, to promote the economic development of Dadu.

GuoShouJing Memorial internal use screen, intelligence, simulation, multimedia tools, interpretation of the historical figures and their lifetime achievements, promote the national spirit of innovation. Science facilities, including the suspension of the parabolic form of the roof GuoShouJing star chart, copper production of mosaic thumbnail Shichahai and Dadu, mobile screen GuoShouJing presented information on the planning of Dadu, giant sand table demonstration of Beijing water network, high relief Art Zhuanke River cut through the exchange form of maps. Here visitors can learn about the life event GuoShouJing understand the beginning of the construction of Beijing's plan, understand our history, astronomy and mathematics level of development. Memorial has been included in the Beijing GuoShouJing free list of museums, whether the fees to be determined within the auditorium.
