"In the past three years, the people's heroes who died in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution are immortal!
For more than 30 years, the people's heroes who died in the people's liberation war and the people's revolution are immortal!
This can be traced back to 1840. Since then, in order to oppose domestic and foreign enemies, strive for national independence and people's freedom and happiness, the people's heroes who died in previous struggles are immortal! "
The "three years" in the inscription refers to the second national war; "Thirty years" refers to the new-democratic revolutionary struggle from the May 4th Movement 19 19 to the founding of New China 1949; And 1840 was the beginning of China's invasion. 1840 after the opium war, China became a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. During these three periods, China patriots fought tirelessly, and I am proud of China heroes!
The two sides of the monument are decorated with embossed garlands composed of five stars, pine and cypress and flags, symbolizing the eternal great spirit of the people's heroes. The whole monument is composed of 17000 granite and white marble, which is solemn and magnificent.
[Edit this paragraph] Construction planning of the Monument to the People's Heroes
1949 On September 30th, the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference passed a resolution to build a monument to the people's heroes in the capital.
The Beijing Municipal Planning Commission immediately issued a notice on the planning and design of the memorial hall to all architectural design units and university architecture departments across the country. By 195 1 year, more than 40 copies of various design schemes and design modification schemes1year were received (more than 240 copies were received when it was finalized). Overseas Chinese are also actively offering suggestions. Chen Jiageng, the leader of overseas Chinese, organized overseas Chinese to draw drawings and make cement stigma models, which cost 1.5 million yuan (old coins) and were sent to the construction engineering office of the Monument to the People's Heroes.
1952 may 10 the construction Committee of the monument to the people's heroes in the capital was formally established. The director of the Committee is Peng Zhen, then secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, the deputy director is Liang Sicheng, an internationally renowned architect, and the secretary-general is Xue Zizheng.
In March 1953, in order to reflect Premier Zhou Enlai's instruction that the purpose of building a monument is to "commemorate the dead and inspire the living", the Capital Construction Committee selected 8 design schemes from more than 240 design schemes and solicited opinions from professional designers. These eight design schemes include: short and scattered typical design, high and scattered typical design, three-door design, rectangular main column monument-high typical design, watchtower design, red wall monument design, monument top group image design and finally adopted monument design.
Among many design concepts, there are great differences in design opinions. At that time, there were different opinions: 1, whether the lower seat of the monument should be built into a showroom. 2. Should the lower steps be made into a reviewing stand? Do you want to leave the monument empty and open a window at the top to see Beijing? 4. The biggest difference of opinion is the shape of the top of the monument, whether it is to build a treasure to rest the mountain or to shape a group of heroes. Because these opinions are not unified, it is difficult to start the project. Finally, after preliminary consultation between the central leadership in charge of this work and relevant parties, it was decided that: 1, the pedestal part should be designed according to the showroom first, leaving room for modification. 2. Because Tiananmen Square has been used as a large reviewing platform, the lower platform decided not to design a reviewing platform. 3. For the convenience of maintenance, the monument is made into an empty pipe, but the top of the pipe can't be opened with windows to keep the monument solemn. The weight of hollow column is also greatly reduced, and the total weight including underground concrete is only about 1 10,000 tons. Due to its reasonable design, the monument withstood the test of Tangshan earthquake, although the anti-seismic factors were not considered at that time. ) 4. The design of the most difficult monument top has been postponed. Select three most concentrated design schemes, make a model of 1∶5, and erect it in Tiananmen Square to solicit opinions from the people of the whole country.
Just when the reinforced concrete design of the exhibition hall on the ground floor was about to be completed, the idea of making the abutment solid gained the upper hand again. Their reason is very convincing: to make a solid monument look solemn and safe, and setting up a showroom as follows will make the monument feel unstable, which is not suitable for being a martyr monument.
There is also extensive discussion about where the monument will be built. At first, some people advocated building in Dongdan Square, some people advocated building in Qianmen, some people advocated building in the original site of Zhonghua Gate, and some people advocated building in Babaoshan in the western suburbs. Finally, the China People's Political Consultative Conference decided to build a monument in Tiananmen Square, the center of the national people's political activities.
[Edit this paragraph] Background of the Monument to the People's Heroes
The Monument to the People's Heroes is a matter of great concern to Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and other revolutionaries of the older generation, and it was built under their direct instructions. There is a precious description of Mao Zedong's calligraphy in the historical materials. After seeing the design of the Monument to the People's Heroes, Zhang and three Democrats suggested to Chairman Mao and put forward new opinions on the design of the Monument. For example, the relief historical materials should be carefully selected, and the pictures of the founding of the country should not be omitted; Copper castings can be considered as relief materials; The whole graph should be reconsidered; The patterns of each part should be selected separately, and the patterns of Ming and Qing dynasties are delicate and weak, so they should not be used more. After reading it, President Mao Zedong gave instructions: "Comrade Peng Zhen, please submit this to the Committee for discussion and invite three people to participate."
In the archives of Beijing Archives, there is also a draft inscription on the cornerstone of the monument personally revised by President Mao Zedong. The original title was "the groundbreaking ceremony for the martyrs of the People's Liberation War in China and the martyrs of the People's Revolutionary War in China" written by Comrade Peng Zhen, and Mao Zedong changed it to "the people's heroes who died in the People's Liberation War in China and the People's Revolution in China are immortal!"
During the construction of the monument, President Mao Zedong wrote "Immortal People's Heroes" on June 9th, 1955. Premier Zhou Enlai wrote an inscription for the first plenary session of the China People's Political Consultative Conference drafted by President Mao Zedong. In the past three years, the people's heroes who died in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution are immortal! For more than 30 years, the people's heroes who died in the people's liberation war and the people's revolution are immortal! This can be traced back to 1840. Since then, in order to oppose domestic and foreign enemies, strive for national independence and people's freedom and happiness, the "people's heroes" who died in previous struggles are immortal!
In August 1952, 1, the construction of the monument officially began.
The core stone of the monument is the most important stone in the construction of the monument. It is a rare complete granite in the architectural history of China, weighing100t, which was collected from Dajinding area in Fushan, Qingdao. The mining and transportation work lasted for seven and a half months, and started in April 1, 1953, and 10/6 large stones arrived at Tiananmen Square. 7 1 16 workers directly take part in this work, which is carried out by slotting, rolling with logs and bulldozers.
1953 The large stone mined in July was15.3m in size, 3.55m in width and 2. 1 m in thickness, weighing 300 tons. After the first processing, the stone was flattened and its weight was reduced to 280 tons. On the day of 10, the big stone was transported from the mining area to the mountain field (the flat land halfway up the mountain) and walked 60 meters. The next afternoon, the stone went down the mountain. After turning over, turning over and secondary processing, the stone length14.7m, width 2.92m, middle thickness10.0m, both sides thickness 0.8m and weight102t.
19 In August, the big stone was transported from the mountain field, passed through four villages, a mountain, more than ten bridges and the most prosperous street in the city, with a journey of 15 km, and arrived safely at the station (air force oil depot) on September 27th. On September 28, at Qingdao Railway Station, the 90-ton freight car of Fengman Power Plant of Northeast Electric Power Bureau was loaded with large stones with slide rails. According to the regulations of the Ministry of Railways, the vehicle weight is100t, so the big stone was processed for the third time, with the thickness of the middle stone changed to 87 cm, the thickness of both ends changed to 79 cm, and the weight was 94t. Together with the beam car equipment and skid, its weight is 65,438+000 tons. Drive to Beijing at a straight line speed of 20 km/h, bend and stop 10km/h, and arrive at Beijing Qianmen West Station at 10 and 13. Have a safe trip. Three nights later, the stone tablet miraculously appeared in the ruins of Tiananmen Square.
The relief stone of the monument was collected from the white marble mine in Fangshan, Beijing. The monument body adopts reinforced concrete pipes, and the stones of the pedestal and the monument body are firmly bound and poured together. The inscriptions on the front and back of the monument are engraved in the inscriptions on the stone surface, and then the steel tires with gold lettering are made by the traditional gold plating method in China. Inscription inscription * * * gold 130 or more. The whole monument consists of 17000 pieces of granite and white marble.
[Edit this paragraph] Monument to the People's Heroes in this article
This monument was built according to the resolution of the first plenary session of China People's Political Consultative Conference on September 30th, 949. In the evening, Chairman Mao led all CPPCC members to hold a solemn foundation laying ceremony for the monument. Chairman Mao personally shoveled the earth and laid the foundation stone for the monument. Since the construction started on August 1952, it has received enthusiastic support and concern from the people all over the country. This is the largest monument in China since ancient times. From the ground to the top of the monument, it is as high as 37.94 meters and as high as 10 floor, which is 4.24 meters higher than Tiananmen Square opposite the monument. This monument consists of 17000 pieces of hard granite and white marble. It symbolizes the great achievements of the martyrs and marks the memory of the martyrs by the people of the whole country.
I stepped on the steps paved with granite and reached the second platform. There are double white marble railings around the monument. The shape of the railing is the same as that of the Jade Belt Bridge in front of Tiananmen Square. It is beautiful and simple, white and dazzling, which makes the tall and straight monument look more solemn and majestic. The front of the monument faces north. On a 60-ton stone tablet with a height of 14.7 meters, eight gold-plated Chinese characters inscribed by Chairman Mao are engraved, shining brightly. These eight words are the theme of the monument. On the back of the memorial tablet, rows of gold-plated words are arranged neatly. This was drafted by Chairman Mao himself and inscribed by Premier Zhou himself. The inscription reads:
In the past three years, the people's heroes who died in the People's Liberation War and the People's Revolution are immortal!
For more than 30 years, the people's heroes who died in the people's liberation war and the people's revolution are immortal!
This can be traced back to 1840. Since then, in order to oppose domestic and foreign enemies, strive for national independence and people's freedom and happiness, the people's heroes who died in previous struggles are immortal.
Decorative patterns composed of red stars, pines and cypresses and flags are engraved on the upper east and west sides of the monument, symbolizing the eternal revolutionary spirit of the martyrs. Around the small monument, there are eight wreaths composed of peony, lotus and chrysanthemum. These flowers symbolize the noble quality and purity of the heroes and express the eternal memory and admiration of the people all over the country. At the top of the monument is the traditional architectural form of our nation, which is a small roof with cirrus clouds above and heavy curtains below. The shape of the whole monument makes people feel both national style and distinctive spirit of the new era.
10 large white marble relief, embedded around the base. These large reliefs are 2 meters high and 40.68 meters long. According to geologists' tests, these reliefs can last at least 800- 1000 years. Each relief has about 20 heroes, each as big as a real person, and their faces, personalities, expressions and postures are different.
From the east of the monument, in historical order. The first relief is "Eliminating Opium Smoke", which describes the story of people eliminating opium in Humen on the eve of the Opium War1June 3, 839. On the relief, angry people are transporting boxes of opium poisoning the people of China to the seaside, dumping it in a kiln filled with lime for destruction, and smoke billows from the lime pool. Behind the crowd are forts and thousands of warships ready to counter the provocation of British imperialism. The characters on the screen show the firm determination of the people of China to resist imperialism. The second relief in the East depicts the "jintian uprising" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in 185 1. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the prelude to China's democratic revolution. It put forward the slogan of equality between men and women in politics, economy and nationality, which seriously shook the foundation of feudal rule in Qing Dynasty. On this relief, a group of sons and daughters of Han and Zhuang, armed with broadswords, spears and hoes, are rushing down from the hillside, and the revolutionary flag is flying in the wind.
Turn south to the back of the monument, and you can see the solemn picture of191kloc-0/Wuchang Uprising of Xinhai Revolution. In the middle of the night, the insurgents and citizens destroyed cannons in front of the Governor's Office in Huguang and rushed to the Governor's Office. The burning flame of the governor's residence rose to the sky; The sign of the government building was interrupted in front of the steps; The broken dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty was trampled underground. The Revolution of 1911 ended more than two thousand years of feudal monarchy. The next one is the May 4th patriotic movement. This is the turning point of China's democratic revolution from the old democratic revolution to the new democratic revolution. This relief painting shows students gathering in front of Tiananmen Square to hold a patriotic demonstration. A group of young students, male and female, holding the banner of "Abolishing the Conspiracy of Treason", came to Tiananmen Square passionately. Schoolgirls in long skirts and bun are distributing leaflets to the citizens. High in the crowd, a male student is talking to the crowd around him. Angry young speakers and angry crowds filled the whole relief with an exciting atmosphere of hating traitors. The third picture in the south is the May 30th Movement. 1925 On May 30, more than 10,000 people in Shanghai held an anti-imperialist parade on Nanjing Road, and the British patrol fired at unarmed people, causing many deaths and injuries. The "May 30th Massacre" aroused the great indignation of people all over Shanghai and even the whole country, and prompted the outbreak of a nationwide great revolutionary storm. This relief shows the people at all levels led by the working class's resolute struggle against imperialism. On the screen, thousands of workers, students and citizens held the banner of "Down with Imperialism", broke through the sandbags and barbed wire patrolled by Britain and marched bravely. Shops closed and went on strike, and businessmen wearing top hats joined the struggle; The injured worker went on with the help of his comrades-in-arms. Behind the crowd, you can vaguely see the customs and bank buildings on the Bund.
To the west of the monument, the first one is the relief of "August 1st Nanchang Uprising". The picture shows the scene of this great uprising from the perspective of a company. On the morning of August 1927, a commander announced the uprising to the soldiers with his left hand. The soldiers held high the signal of the uprising-lanterns, glorious red flags raised, war horses roared, working people helped carry bullets, and the soldiers shouted enthusiastically. Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot at the Kuomintang reactionaries and launched a struggle against counter-revolutionary armed forces with revolutionary armed forces. Followed by "Anti-Japanese Guerrilla War Behind the Enemy", the relief shows the scene of guerrilla war behind the enemy lines in Taihang Mountain area during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period. From a distance, on a majestic mountainside, guerrillas are fighting the enemy through tall trees and dense green tents. In the picture, young male and female farmers are holding shovels and carrying homemade mines; The white-haired mother sent a gun to her son to fight against the Japanese aggressors; The young man stood beside the commander, waiting for orders, ready to go into battle to destroy the enemy.
Finally, before coming to the monument, I saw the relief of the million heroes of the People's Liberation Army "crossing the river to liberate all China" during the Liberation War, which is the largest of the ten reliefs. The Yangtze River, which the Kuomintang thought could not be crossed, was successfully crossed by the heroic and invincible People's Liberation Army. On the relief, the trumpeter sounded the charge; The commander raised his right hand and fired flares into the sky again and again; Soldiers who have landed behind enemy lines, stepping on the banner of reactionaries, rushed to Nanjing, the home of Kuomintang reactionary rule; Countless warships behind are advancing in the waves. On both sides of this relief, there are two decorative reliefs. On the left, on the eve of crossing the river, workers carry stretchers, farmers carry rations, and women send military shoes to enthusiastically support the front line. On the right are people from all walks of life across the country holding red flags, flowers and fruits to welcome and comfort the PLA.
After reading all the reliefs, I once again pay tribute to the big characters and inscriptions of "people's heroes are immortal" I think, people can learn from here the arduous road that the China revolution has gone through, the brilliant achievements of the martyrs, and the huge price that the people of China paid for freedom and liberation. When I walked down the steps and left the monument, I once again mourned for the people's heroes who died in previous struggles.
The Monument to the People's Heroes is located at the southern end of Tiananmen Square in the capital. This special building has the following characteristics:
1 was established according to the resolution of China People's Political Consultative Conference.
Chairman Mao, the great leader of People's Republic of China (PRC), laid the foundation stone for it himself.
Chairman Mao personally wrote an inscription.
Premier Zhou Enlai, who is deeply loved by the people, wrote an inscription on the back.
It is the biggest monument in China.
This is a monument to thousands of heroes.
Compared with other monuments, the largest number of people went to pay their respects.
The historic sites with the above seven characteristics are unique in China and rare in the world. As a junior high school student in Beijing, anyone who has never been to the Monument to the People's Heroes should visit it in person, so as to better study the article "Immortal People's Heroes" and further stimulate their enthusiasm for loving heroes, people and the motherland.
I. Title
The main title of the text is "Immortality of the People's Heroes" and the subtitle is "Visiting the Monument to the People's Heroes in the Capital". The use of these two titles is not arbitrary; Its function is to make the article different from the general descriptive articles about architecture.
The general description of architecture, such as the magnificent Great Hall of the People in Unit 4, only describes the building itself, and basically does not involve the author's feelings in specific sentences. The immortality of the people's heroes is not like this. At the beginning, I wrote my great respect, and at the end, I wrote my "tribute" and heartfelt wishes.
Second, the structure
There are 1 1 natural segments in this paper. Structurally, 1 natural paragraph is the beginning of the article. The two sentences in paragraph 1 contain three main points: (1) and the object of explanation-the monument to the people's heroes. (2), points out the characteristics of the object-majestic, solemn, solemn. (3) Repentance of "I" mood-great reverence, repentance of "I" behavior-tribute.
Of these three points, the first two are closely written with the explained object, while the latter is closely written with the mood and behavior of the explained person; It can also be understood as: the first two are closely written with the main title, and the last one is closely written with the subtitle.
Paragraph 2-10 is the main part of the article, that is, the part devoted to the Monument to the People's Heroes. The content of this part is basically written under the title.
From the perspective of interpretation, the contents of paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5 can be summarized in one sentence, namely: the part other than relief; Paragraphs 6, 7, 8 and 9 and 10 explain the relief of 10 white marble. If the second part of the article is hierarchical, the 2-5 natural section is one layer and the 6- 10 natural section is the second layer.
Paragraph 1 1 is the end of the article. I wrote down my feelings: "From here, people can understand the arduous road that the China revolution has gone through, the glorious achievements of the martyrs, and the huge price that the people of China paid for freedom and liberation." At the same time, I once again expressed my admiration for the people's heroes.
Third, the key points
When studying the article "Immortal People's Heroes", students should not only understand the characteristics of the monument and the structure of the article, but also think carefully on the basis of carefully reading the original text: what is the interpretation order of the full text, how to arrange the interpretation order of most parts, how to arrange the details of the article, what interpretation methods are used and what are the characteristics in the use of language.

The interpretation of relief is always said first and then divided.
The general part (6 natural paragraphs) introduces the height and total length of the relief, the duration, the size and the number of characters of each relief, etc.
The divided part (7- 10 natural section), on the one hand, according to spatial order's explanation, from east to south and from west to north; On the other hand, in chronological order, the Opium War-Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-Xinhai Revolution-May 4th Movement-May 30th Movement-August 1st Nanchang Uprising-War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression-Liberation War.
3. Try to answer the explanation methods used in this paper with specific contents, and then analyze their functions one by one.
For example (1)
Such as; It stands like an indomitable giant in the south of the square, far away from Tiananmen Square.
Function: In the form of analogy, it vividly illustrates the towering characteristics of the monument.
(2) comparison
It is as high as 10 floor, which is 4.24 meters higher than Tiananmen Square opposite the monument.
Function: Compared with the tall 10-story building and the majestic famous building Tiananmen, the height of the monument has been strongly explained.
(3) Column number
This monument consists of 17000 pieces of hard granite and white marble.
Function: With extremely accurate figures, convincingly explain how many materials are used in the monument, so that readers can imagine its grandeur, majesty, solemnity and great difficulty in construction.
4. Are the red words in the following statements used well? Why?
(1) I walked across the square, stepped on the orange granite road, walked slowly to the front of the monument steps, and paid close attention to the monument.
All right. "Crossing" describes the speed of action, which is convenient to express my desire to see the monument. "Slow" describes the slowness of action, which is convenient to express the feeling of incomparable reverence when "I" began to pay tribute.
(2) According to the test of geologists, these reliefs can last at least 800 years to 1000 years.
All right. "At least" means the least, which accurately shows the lower end of the life span of the relief and tells readers that the life span may actually exceed 1000.
(3) There are about 20 heroes in each relief, each of whom is the same size as a real person, with different faces, personalities, expressions and postures.
All right. "Left and right" accurately expresses the following meaning. There are 20 heroes in a relief. There are less than 20 heroes in a relief, but not much difference. A relief has more than 20 heroes, but not many.
