Recently, a man complained on social media about the statue of Yang Guifei bathing in the Huaqing Palace in Xi'an, Shaanxi, saying that it was very indecent to show her breasts. This remark has attracted widespread attention and discussion. On the 15th, Huaqing Palace Scenic Area issued a response to this and said that it would record and reflect it to the higher authorities.
Yang Guifei was a famous beauty in the Tang Dynasty, and her beauty and legends made her a historical celebrity. However, in recent years, her image seems to have become more and more controversial. In particular, the statue of Yang Guifei bathing in the Huaqing Palace, with the theme of bare-chested breasts and breasts, has caused a lot of controversy and questions.
Regarding this incident, netizens expressed their opinions, some supported the man's complaint, and some expressed dissupport.
Some netizens believe that as the image of a historical celebrity, it is not appropriate for Yang Guifei to show her breasts. They believe that the image of a historical figure should be based on his deeds, virtues, or other positive aspects, rather than emphasizing the sexiness and exposure of the body. Such a statue is easy to give people the wrong impression and ignore other important aspects of Yang Guifei.
Netizen: Someone finally said it, putting the appearance of people bathing in the public, the concubine has to wake up, and designate to scold, what kind of art is this?
On the other hand, some netizens think that this is just a statue, and there is no need to over-interpret it. They believe that a work of art should have its own unique style and expression, and cannot be judged solely by a certain ethical standard. This sculpture is many years old, and it is very good. It's just that someone feels bad and moves here from the door. Thinking too much.
I feel that everyone can have their own understanding and feelings about such a statue, and there is no need to impose their own opinions on others.
As for the response to the Huaqing Palace Scenic Area, netizens also had different reactions. Some people expressed their support, believing that the scenic spot should actively document and report the problem to the higher authorities. They believe that as a cultural heritage protection unit, Huaqing Palace Scenic Area should pay more attention to the presentation of historical images, and should not let some inappropriate elements appear.
Others expressed their disapproval, because the staff said that the work was created by the famous sculptor Professor Pan He, and also praised that the sculpture had been approved by the competent government department at that time, and that it was approved through normal channels, and there was no need to care too much about the opinions of individual people, and there was no need to pay too much attention to and intervene.
In any case, this incident has provoked people to think about the representation of historical figures. Historical celebrities represent the spirit and values of an era, and their images should be properly inherited and displayed. In today's diverse and inclusive society, we should pay more attention to the diversity and inclusiveness of historical images, and not emphasize one aspect over the other.
In general, the incident of the man complaining about the indecent bathing statue of the concubine of the Huaqing Palace has sparked a discussion about the presentation of the image of historical celebrities. Whether we support it or not, we should look at such events with objectivity and rationality, and strive to find a balance that preserves the authenticity of historical images while adapting to the diversity and inclusion of today's society. Only in this way can we better inherit and carry forward the essence of history and culture. #Seeing the world#
