The NPC deputies suggested rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan, should it be rebuilt? Expert: Destructive repair is not advisable
The Yuanmingyuan, also known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", is magnificent to the point of no return, and can be said to be the culmination of many fields such as culture, art, architecture and so on before the Qing Dynasty in China, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a museum. The great historical significance of the Yuanmingyuan does not need to be repeated by the author. However, the Yuanmingyuan was eventually destroyed in the Second Opium War, and many cultural relics were lost overseas. The once magnificent Yuanmingyuan, what we are left with is only ruins and broken walls. With the continuous improvement of China's economic strength, especially the strong comprehensive national strength, the conditions for rebuilding the Yuanmingyuan have been met. Therefore, Yan Jianguo, a deputy to the National People's Congress, proposed to rebuild the Yuanmingyuan as a base for patriotic education.
In this regard, the Department of Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeology of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage approved the proposal of Yan Jianguo, a deputy to the National People's Congress. The reply pointed out that the reconstruction of the Yuanmingyuan should be "carefully argued" and politely rejected the proposal to rebuild the Yuanmingyuan. In fact, according to China's comprehensive national strength, it is fully capable of rebuilding a Yuanmingyuan in 1:1. For example, Dongyang, Zhejiang Province, rebuilt a Yuanmingyuan, which has a high degree of restoration. But the deputies' proposal was to rebuild it on the site of the Old Summer Palace, which is a big deal in itself. It's easy to fix one, but the original taste is lost.
For the restoration of major sites in China, the form of protected archaeological site parks is adopted. For example, the Ancient Sui and Tang Dynasty buildings such as the Yingtianmen Ruins, the Mingtang Ruins, and the Heavenly Ruins in Luoyang were all restored on the basis of the original, with the purpose of protective display. The Yuanmingyuan is different, witnessing the humiliation of the Second Opium War, and is also a living fossil of China's century-old history of humiliation.
Media commentator Liu Xuesong is a veteran media expert who gives his views from the perspective of media communication:
This topic should not be left alone, but should be stopped
。 Liu Xuesong's view is still worth affirming, and whether to repair or not to repair depends on whether the conditions for repair are met. In this regard, Liu Xuesong pointed out that historical relics should be alive, and we cannot build fakes on a large scale while watching the loss of cultural relics, let alone carry out them at the same time
Destructive repair
, while discussing meaningless topics. From this point of view, an unconsidered repair is tantamount
。 In other words, destructive restoration is not advisable, especially for major historical sites, and it makes more sense to restore the original appearance as much as possible than to rehabilitate it hastily.
The Yuanmingyuan has a special significance in the history of our country and represents the beginning of China's century of humiliation, but all Chinese sons and daughters should remember that humiliating history. Without repairing the Yuanmingyuan, just like China's national anthem, "March of the Volunteer Army", some things cannot be forgotten. Moreover, after the reconstruction of the Yuanmingyuan, can it reach the height of the ancestors? Can we fix the old as the old? If you can't do it, don't try blindly. Even if it is repaired as old, how can it be explained to future generations?
Therefore, the reply of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage and the views of media expert Liu Xuesong are still very insightful in the long run. A broken one
Archaeological Site Park
It will enable future generations to remember the history of humiliation, and the effect of patriotic education is more intuitive. In addition, the Yuanmingyuan is originally a royal garden, and the destruction restoration can also partially restore the scene of royal luxury life, but weaken the historical role of the historical scars of the Yuanmingyuan. After all, parents take their children to visit the Old Summer Palace just to tell the children"
Don't forget the national shame and build a strong country
"A century-old wish.
