I have always believed that only Surabaya, where the city is located, can breed the glory of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and only the red walls and tiles can breed the sadness between the eyebrows. Only when you climb the Great Wall can you know the miracle of human power, and only when you worship the Buddha statue can you believe the legend of craftsmen. Those antiquities that span thousands of years are the most affectionate. They stood there without saying a word, attracting countless people to flock to it.
Wearing a star in Dai Yue, the noble spirit exists between heaven and earth.
Up to now, I am still proud of China's 5,000-year history. Whether it is weaving exquisite patterns of Hanfu or building glazed tiles of pavilions, I am intoxicated. Some people say, "history is a girl who can dress up." Thousands of years have passed, and everyone is a judge, commenting on those affairs and arguing endlessly. However, the cultural relics left by history are there, and the brand-new look may decrease with the passage of time, but the aura of the whole body will not be lost with the noise of the world.
From the clan society at the beginning of civilization, to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the more brilliant Tang and Song Dynasties, and to the decadent late Qing Dynasty, those ancient buildings that stood firm in the wind and rain seemed to have absorbed the essence of burning and the brilliance of the moon. Pingyao City Wall is one of the most intact ancient city walls, with exquisite appearance and complete defense facilities. It is also rare in ancient cities in China, and it is also of great help to the study of ancient architecture.
Every brick and tile is art, and every corner is skill. It's not that flashy city walls can't stand the test of time, so they can meet us through time and space. Yueyang Tower, with the reputation of "Dongting is the world's water and Yueyang is the world's building", is also the pride in the architectural history of China. Poets are never stingy. "I've heard about Dongting Lake for a long time, and now I'm on this tower" is the poet Du Fu's description of it. It is one of the four famous buildings, and the only Gu Lou that keeps its original appearance. Its artistic value is unparalleled.
Turning to the yellowed title page of history, we can see the Jokhang Temple in Lhasa-since 1350 years ago, the White Horse Temple in Luoyang-the first ancient temple in China, the East West Pagoda in Quanzhou-the tallest stone pagoda in China, and the Anping Bridge in Jinjiang, which has the reputation of "no bridge in the world".
With the cold of the snow, it was destroyed by the ruin of the times.
We must believe that the destructive power of human sometimes exceeds that of nature. People who read history should be rational, because emotional people always have red eyes for the past. Every time I read the history of the late Qing Dynasty, I will always sigh over and over again, but the seemingly sustainable prosperous times are frequently undercurrent, and finally a surging wave breaks out.
Nowadays, we can only describe the bustling outline of Yuanmingyuan in our hearts through black and white photos, and we can only imagine the treasures in the restoration map. The burning and looting that night, the "robbers" blinded by greed, and the raging fire in the burning garden ... Now no matter how good the reconstruction is, it can't build the moonlight in our hearts.
When it comes to the restoration of cultural relics, the state now pays more and more attention to it. There are endless programs such as National Treasures, Great Country Artisans and Entering the Forbidden City, which let more people know about cultural relics and get close to history. But the real restoration is loyal to the value of the cultural relics themselves, supplemented by modern aesthetics. When one end is too presumptuous, the other end is bound to be affected. Many ancient cultural relics have been unreasonably restored, showing a "disfigured" restoration.
20 16 "The most beautiful wild Great Wall in Liaoning was wiped out" incident made many netizens indignant. No wonder someone is angry. The ancient Great Wall in the historical impression should have a rough and vicissitudes beauty, but the restored Great Wall looks like a flat top floor made of cement. The original charm has been destroyed, and it is disappointing that there is not a penny left.
Later, there was the "Millennium Buddha Event" in Anyue Grottoes. This statue of Buddha is resplendent and lifelike, which has both the richness of the Tang Dynasty and the chic of the Song Dynasty, making believers pray and passers-by stop to watch.
However, it is inevitable that the surface of the Buddha statue has faded after wind and rain, but its former glory and kindness are still recognizable. Nowadays, people always like to oppose the "sound" of cultural relics themselves. Those "knife-wielders" in the name of restoration have made this precious Buddha statue look funny like a palette, and the color matching is even a bit like an animated image of Pleasant Goat. Many netizens joked: this is to restore the cultural relics of the Western Zhou Dynasty to last week!
It is really outrageous. So a report "The Old Bridge in Yuan Dynasty was Built into a New Bridge" appeared in people's field of vision. An ancient bridge in Xinzhou, Shanxi Province was originally the first batch of municipal cultural relics protection units and intangible cultural heritage. After the epidemic, it was found to be a new bridge. It turned out that this ancient bridge could not escape the fate of "disfigurement".
The use of bright colors to restore Buddha statues is itself a blasphemy against cultural relics and a misunderstanding of aesthetics. Such restoration is not only the lack of technology, but also the lack of artistic appreciation. After years of wind and sand, the historic site was finally destroyed by the origin of the times.
Waste of personnel will only increase the burden of cultural relics protection.
We should pay enough attention to the protection of cultural relics, but the reality is always unsatisfactory. If you have a heart of awe and treasure for cultural relics and historic sites at ordinary times, there will be no ending of "disfigurement repair".
Xinhua Daily Telegraph reported on April 20th that the "repair" stopped on paper, and the Millennium Liao Tower was about to collapse. As a national key cultural relics protection unit with a history of 1000 years, there are more than 18 cracks and more than 1000 black holes. The tower is tilted, and occasionally bricks fall. As early as seven years ago, the relevant institutions requested maintenance, but so far no action has been taken, and the maintenance has been delayed again and again, resulting in the aging and collapse of the Millennium Liao Tower.
Many cultural relics are in a precarious state, but the responsible departments have failed to fulfill their responsibilities. Only under the exposure of media public opinion can they begin to repair. We should ask ourselves, aren't these monuments a gift from history? We cherish it early, but there are always some people who have nothing to do with themselves.
Look at the cultural relics and listen to the sounds of nature.
I especially admire Mr. Liang Sicheng, whose "Architectural History of Image China" has played a great role in the field of architecture in China. Joseph Needham, a British scholar, once commented that Liang Sicheng was "the master of architectural history in China". I often think that if there is no Liang Sicheng in China, so many magnificent monuments will eventually be as silent as neglected Chinese medicine, and it will take many years to attract a little attention.
Among the great craftsmen, I saw the masters who restored cultural relics in the Forbidden City. They often stay in the repair room for a day, day after day, year after year, but they never neglect. I think this is what a real Chinese should do. Although they may not personally repair historical sites and cultural relics like them, we should be sincere in our hearts and respect and care for cultural relics.
At present, the restoration of cultural relics is not perfect, and many excellent traditions have been preserved and passed down unsatisfactory. All women and children, old and weak, hope that we can recite Lang Lang's poems, attach importance to cultural relics and historical sites, inherit the fine traditions of China and not shoulder the heavy responsibility of history.
