The fire burned for three days and nights, the earth was shaking, people were crying, and the world-famous Yuanmingyuan was in ruins. ...
Today, I watched the large-scale documentary Yuanmingyuan, which made me feel that our motherland is unparalleled in architectural culture, and also made me feel the final outcome of an isolated country.
I studied architecture and learned about some great buildings in the world, such as the Great Wall in China and the pyramids in Egypt, which gave people great admiration.
But I learned about the Great Wall and the pyramids in some books or some short films, but this time it shocked me too much. Through digital production, we see the wisdom and creativity of our ancestors.
Yuanmingyuan embodies the energy and wisdom of China people, and reflects the culture and lifestyle of China people from the perspective of architecture. The Yuanmingyuan, like the sky-shaped and square-shaped buildings, is mostly closed and secluded in front of us, which also shows that our people are pursuing a peaceful and comfortable life. He doesn't want too many people to know their way of life, which is a way of self-protection and a reminder of the demise of this government.
In the whole documentary, I used to show the life and death of a great building in history with plain and clear pictures, and also showed the life and death of the powerful Qing Empire of the Chinese nation.
How excited I was when I saw that Chinese style was the fashion in the west. I am proud that I am a member of the Chinese nation. I am proud that our motherland has a culture of 5,000 years. But when I saw the western powers open the door of China by force, I was extremely angry and helpless. If I can go to the battlefield, I think I will kill more enemies.
Closure represents the arrival of backwardness, and it is an indisputable fact that "backwardness will be beaten".
Therefore, the demise of Yuanmingyuan is only a matter of time. Of course, there is a passage in the middle that Emperor Qianlong said that he would build European-style buildings. I think that's just his arrogance and comparison psychology (of course, I think this is also a kind of psychology of China people).
In the end, Yuanmingyuan was destroyed, but it was not destroyed by China himself like Epang Palace. I don't want to say who did it. If you are not as good as others, there is nothing to say. Isn't this Darwin's theory of evolution? But why should people destroy it? Is this really human nature? I dare not think!
After reading Yuanmingyuan, I can't be calm for a long time. Only when the motherland is strong can we live and work in peace and contentment. If you want to live and work in peace, you must be strong! !
2. The dispute over the reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan.
Broken walls, standing quietly in the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing, is quiet, beautiful and desolate. At this time, whether to build a new Yuanmingyuan in Hengdian outside Yuanmingyuan has become the focus of debate. Build or not build? The Yuanmingyuan, with too much humiliation and tears in China, became the center of the storm.
There is reason to disagree with the new builder. They think that the ruins of Yuanmingyuan are the witness of China's shameful history, and it is no longer feasible to rebuild the old site, but they still want to build it in Hengdian, a film and television base far away from the emperor. Waste of manpower, material resources and financial resources, but also blaspheme and hype the history of China! It is definitely hype! However, is the new Yuanmingyuan really so natural?
I don't think so. On the contrary, I think the new Yuanmingyuan has many benefits. The new Yuanmingyuan was built by private investment rather than state funds. Investors' lifelong wish is to try their best to reproduce the beautiful scenery of Yuanmingyuan. Now, with strong financial resources, he built Yuanmingyuan in Hengdian Film and Television City, which not only realized his wish, but also added a beautiful scenery to Hengdian Film and Television City, a new tourist destination, and made a contribution to Hengdian's tourism. Is there anything wrong with building Yuanmingyuan for individuals and places?
Some people may think that the imitation effect of the newly-built Yuanmingyuan will be unsatisfactory. The newly-built Yuanmingyuan will never be comparable to the once brilliant Yuanmingyuan in Beijing, but what does it matter? The newly-built Yuanmingyuan in Hengdian can make modern people truly feel the splendor and grandeur of Yuanmingyuan. This royal garden took two generations of hard work in the Qing Dynasty and achieved the ultimate in luxury. Can make modern people marvel at how clever our ancestors' brains designed such a miracle on earth; The sharp contrast between the ruins of the newly-built Yuanmingyuan and the Yuanmingyuan in Beijing can also make the grave robbers feel ashamed, and let China people remember that humiliating history more deeply today, and remember what the British and French allied forces did to Yuanmingyuan and China!
Some people say that such painstaking reconstruction is really hype. But the so-called controversy is attention, and attention can make progress. I remember that the construction of the Three Gorges Dam has attracted much attention. Build? Not built? The Three Gorges Dam, which was built in concern, brought the beautiful scenery of "high gorge coming out of Pinghu", a steady stream of electric energy, and even the safety of people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River from the threat of floods. I remember that the opening of Qin Shihuang's mausoleum was controversial. Open? Not open? In the controversy, the partially opened Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor welcomed Chinese and foreign tourists, funds for protection and research, and the reputation of "the eighth wonder of the world". I remember that the reconstruction of Du Fu's thatched cottage was controversial. Build? Not built? The thatched cottage rebuilt and perfected in the controversy attracted an endless stream of admirers and the climax of Du Fu's poems. It has attracted the most brilliant moment for thousands of years ... Behind the controversy and attention, what is needed is progress! It is the progress that Yuanmingyuan will no longer be nailed to the shame column forever, and it should be the progress that we as tourists enhance our awareness of protecting cultural relics!
Do you spit and litter when you visit? Will "so-and-so is here" be engraved everywhere? Do you jump up and down and take pictures everywhere? Do you line up in order? Will you visit quietly instead of making noise? ..... These details not only reflect the personal quality, but also reflect our future generations' gratitude and respect for the remains left by our ancestors!
It is imperative to build Yuanmingyuan. What we should really pay attention to is not whether it can be built or not, but how we should dutifully protect the new Yuanmingyuan and the ruins of the war-torn Yuanmingyuan after it is built. What we should really pay attention to is how the Yuanmingyuan in the two places, as a product of culture, can play a role in improving the patriotism of Chinese people and enhancing the cohesion of the country!
Yuanmingyuan is overgrown with weeds and seriously corroded. It stood alone, still silent. The wind is blowing, the grass is shaking, the glory of Yuanmingyuan is our pride, the ruins of Yuanmingyuan are our shame, joy and pain, pride and shame together, this is our most complete history!
