Recently, the reporter boarded the Great Wall from the "north gate lock key" at the west gate of the barbican in Badaling, and observed it along the climbing Great Wall on the north and south sides respectively. He saw that on the 3000-meter-long Great Wall, no matter the wall around the urn, the outer battlements of the Great Wall, the inner female wall and more than a dozen enemy towers, wherever tourists can reach, every blue brick is engraved with various characters, the most of which is the eighth floor near the commanding heights. There are place names, people's names, a trip here, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and illegible words, which are engraved densely. These words not only destroyed the historical features of the Great Wall, but also damaged the city wall with some words as deep as half a centimeter.
Several Chongqing tourists are not surprised by this. They say there are not only the Great Wall, but also various scenic spots. Unless it is as out of reach as Leshan Giant Buddha. Fang Yifeng, a Jiangsu tourist who boarded the Great Wall for the first time, was very embarrassed to see the three characters "Jiangsu Province" engraved on the side of a virgin wall. He told reporters: "Can you stay with the Great Wall if you leave your pen on the blue brick?"? I am ashamed of this fellow villager. "
Huang Yongren, director of the academic research department of the Great Wall Society of China, said that in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when the Great Wall tourism was just emerging, all the Great Wall scenic spots generally encountered disfigurement peaks. In recent ten years, with the improvement of tourists' quality and the strengthening of management, lettering damage has declined, but it still exists.
It is understood that the Great Walls in Beijing and Hebei are mostly masonry structures, which is the most complete and outstanding section of the Great Wall in the Ming Dynasty. With the development of tourism, man-made destruction is becoming more and more serious. According to the survey results of the Great Wall organized by the Great Wall Society of China in 2002, apart from the recently renovated Hushan Great Wall in Dandong, there are man-made damages to varying degrees from the Old Longtou Great Wall in Shanhaiguan, the Jinshanling Great Wall, the Simatai Great Wall, the Mutianyu Great Wall, the Badaling Great Wall and the Juyongguan Great Wall.
Huang Yongren analyzed that tourists always want to leave traces when they board the Great Wall, which is a bad habit formed by the general low awareness of cultural relics protection.
It is difficult to remove the score without damaging the wall.
On June 4th, 165438+, the Great Wall Society of China announced the hotline for collecting the Great Wall handwriting removal scheme. By June 6th, 65438 * * *, more than 300 letters, telephone calls and emails were received, and more than 220 suggestions were received, including many individuals, buildings, scientific research institutions and social organizations.
The collected suggestions focus on grinding the old Great Wall brick into powder after reconciliation and smoothing it at the lettering place. It is suggested that the Great Wall be built in history and repaired with traditional building materials mixed with glutinous rice juice. There are also some cultural relics research institutions with experience in restoring ancient murals that will carry out relevant experiments on the subject of handwriting removal in the Great Wall.
However, it is reported that in the past restoration of the Great Wall, the method of demolishing and repairing the damaged masonry was adopted, that is, the damaged masonry in the damaged part was demolished and filled with traditional materials. However, no one has ever tried whether this kind of meticulous repair of the surface notch of city brick is applicable. Experts from the Great Wall Society of China said that from the existing suggestions, it is quite difficult to remove nicks without destroying the wall.
Dong, vice president of the Great Wall Society of China, said that the solicitation will last until June 65438+February 3 1 this year. At that time, the schemes will be classified and summarized, and experts in cultural relics and ancient buildings will be invited to demonstrate, hoping to come up with a good method to repair the surface notch of the Great Wall brick.
A special national law to protect the Great Wall is being demonstrated.
The "plastic surgery" of the Great Wall has set off a new wave of great wall protection upsurge in the society, once again highlighting the outstanding contradictions in the form of destruction, such as the imperfect laws and regulations on the protection and management of the Great Wall and the failure to implement the protection responsibility.
Taking lettering as an example, the staff of the Badaling Great Wall Management Committee said that although the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics stipulates that "if the circumstances are minor, the public security organ or the unit where the cultural relics are located will give a warning and may also impose a fine." However, apart from stopping and warning, the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics and the Regulations on the Protection of the Great Wall of Beijing have no clear provisions on how to impose fines, so it is difficult to implement them.
The inability of tourists to control lettering is just one of the many difficulties in protecting the Great Wall. The Dong Yao Institution once told reporters: "Our protection of this special cultural relic, the Great Wall, is not even as good as a small temple." The Great Wall of Ming Dynasty spans eight provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions. At present, many places along the line are short of cultural protection personnel and funds, and there is generally no special protection team. No one has done protection and publicity work. Today, farmers still pointed to the Great Wall and asked, "What's the use of this thing?" . According to a survey conducted by the Great Wall Society of China in 2002, although the Ming Great Wall is still called Wan Li, in fact, less than 30% of the obvious sites are visible, and the total length of the walls and sites is not more than 2,500 kilometers.
Protecting the Great Wall, a non-renewable cultural heritage, cannot rely solely on people's consciousness. It is understood that under the concern of experts and the whole society for many years, after Beijing formulated the first local protection law along the Great Wall, a national special law to protect the Great Wall is currently being demonstrated. With the support of the national cultural relics department, the Great Wall Society of China has also set up the "Monument of Li Changcheng Protection Symbol" to clarify the responsibility of subsection protection and conduct a comprehensive survey of the Great Wall by using remote sensing technology.
