This sculpture was invested and built by a local tourism company without using financial funds. The person in charge of the company said that the construction site was originally a mining area and stones could be mined. "We have a permit for quarrying, and now we are doing sculptures while quarrying." . Considering that Mrs. She Xiang is an important local historical figure, the company wants to build a statue to commemorate her.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Sculpture Construction in Big Cities, pointing out that it is necessary to strengthen the management of sculpture construction in big cities, control the excessive construction of "cultural landmarks" such as giant statues, protect and inherit the historical context, and shape the distinctive characteristics of cities. It is mentioned in the notice that large sculptures with a height exceeding10m or a width exceeding 30m will be managed as important urban construction projects, and the construction of large sculptures with a height exceeding 30m or a width exceeding 45m will be strictly controlled. It is strictly forbidden to blindly build large-scale sculptures divorced from reality and the masses in the name of inheriting culture, developing tourism and enhancing image. Urban sculpture projects that involve the phenomenon of "cultural landmarks" such as the chaotic construction of giant statues or violate the laws of urban development and destroy the ecological environment and historical and cultural features should be corrected and rectified in time.
It is not a bad thing to build a landscape lighting project. Landscape lighting projects that conform to local conditions, reflect local characteristics and are scientifically demonstrated can not only enhance the image of the city, but also promote local economic development and benefit the people. However, if we go beyond local financial resources to engage in construction, make blind decisions without a budget, or even create "political achievements" under the guise of enhancing the image of the city, paving the way for personal promotion, the landscape lighting project will become a flashy image project and a political achievement project. Some achievements projects and face projects show obvious problems of "show", "big" and "urgency". "Xiu" is keen on "creating a bright spot" and "building a facade", which is flashy and costly; "Big" means like to make big moves, big scenes, big demolition and big construction; "Urgent" means getting used to "a gust of wind", "one size fits all", "three axes" and "three minutes" when something happens.
On the one hand, it is a realistic dilemma of economic backwardness and people's livelihood problems that need to be solved urgently, and on the other hand, it is an absurd act of turning a deaf ear and borrowing money to create scenery. What problems are reflected behind the blind landscaping in some underdeveloped and poor areas? The purpose of perfecting the system and supervision mechanism is to strengthen constraints from the outside and prevent image projects and performance projects from the source. In the end, it is up to leading cadres at all levels to keep in mind their initial mission, establish a correct view of political achievements, put the interests of the people first, and do practical things, do good things and solve difficult problems for the masses in a down-to-earth manner. Real political achievements can stand the test of history and the people.
