Chapter 1081 Church Temple, Great Wall Canal.
Su Huai looked at the pagoda in the distance, and thought to himself, it will take a while to go over, so it is better to take this opportunity to solve everyone's misunderstandings, so he shook the folding fan and smiled:
"Who said that we will not build stone houses in Huaxia, it is recorded in the "Historical Records": 'If King Zhao supports the pioneers, please list the seats of his disciples and receive employment, build a stone palace, and go to the teacher in person' It can be seen that the Zhou Dynasty Huaxia built stone houses, which is not unusual. ”
Su Shengren moved out of "Historical Records", and everyone at the scene was stunned, but Su Huai smiled leisurely:
"We chose wood, not because of our lack of ability, but because of the shortcomings of stone, which is the advantage of wood.
In the original society, wood was far superior to stone construction in terms of saving materials, labor, and construction events.
In other words, since Huaxia has enough stone and enough labor, it will not consider building a behemoth of stone that will survive forever, because why waste huge manpower and material resources?"
Su Huai said, looking at Carney with a smile:
"Brother Carney, you said that the Chinese people used wood to build a tendon, but in my opinion, in fact, you ancient Europa people used stones to build houses, and it was a dead brain. ”
Carney's face turned red when he was refuted, and Renna and Ji Qiaoqiao laughed out loud when they heard it, and this Su Dasheng began his foolish performance again.
"Dead Brain Sutra?" Speaker Brown frowned slightly, obviously not appreciating Su Huai's "cold humor", and asked unhappily: "Mr. Su, why don't we die Brain Sutra?"
"The place of the Dead Brain Sutra is. Su Huai said and tapped his temples with the tip of the fan and said with a smile:
"You like to think of the building as a permanent religious monument, so you do everything you have to do it, the mausoleums, the temples and the churches, all in the service of an eternal world.
Therefore, in architecture, you Westerners usually do not hesitate to complete what is considered immortal in terms of ideology, even from generation to generation. ”
Su Huai said, and couldn't help but smile disdainfully:
"The few pillars that survived after the catastrophe you just mentioned, the so-called famous ancient buildings in the West, all took decades, even centuries of events to complete~
For example, the Hundred Pillars Hall in West Asia and Persia was built for 58 years.
The complex of the Olympic Temple of Zeus in Athens took a total of 306 years to complete.
The Church of St. Peter in Rome took 120 years to build, and after it was built, it took another two more years to build the colonnade, for a total of 122 years.
On the contrary, after our Chinese Qin Shi Huang unified the world, he only reigned for 11 years, but completed the Afang Palace, Weishui Long Bridge, Lishan Mausoleum, the Great Wall, Chidao and other large-scale construction projects.
The Changle Palace in the Han Dynasty occupies one-tenth of the Chang'an City of the Han Dynasty......"
When Su Huai said this, he turned his head to look at Brown and asked:
"Do you know what the reason is, Speaker Brown?"
Brown's eyes changed when he looked at Su Huai at this time, he knew that it took 120 years for Su Huai to say about St. Peter's Basilica, but he had never heard of the colonnade built in the next two years, because after the catastrophe, only the main frame of St. Peter's Basilica was left, and the others were eroded by the sea.
At this time, Speaker Brown remembered that Su Huai knew about the Dead Sea Scrolls and had restored the ancient Bible, and he was surprised and thought: Could it be that there are still many unknown information about ancient Europa in Su Huai's folk materials?
But surprise is surprise, but Su Huai's question was obviously provocative, which made Speaker Brown very unhappy, and retorted coldly:
"The scale of Chinese architecture is far inferior to that of ancient Europa, so it's normal to be faster. ”
It's not that you build fast, it's that you are small!
Su Huai shook his head and said: "No, no, although the huge single building of the Western stone structure is much larger than the single building in Huaxia in terms of workload, even if the workload is the same, the construction events in Huaxia are much faster than those in Western architecture.
In addition to the convenience of timber transportation and construction, that is, the ancient construction of China is the construction method, usually not to do large-scale stacking buildings, but on the plane, at the same time the construction of standardization and stereotyping, through strict construction organization to maximize efficiency~~"
As he spoke, Su Huai pointed to the Bianliang Street View behind him:
"A lot of the buildings in this area look the same, but do you know how long it took to build it?"
Guo Wei next to him also said loudly at this time: "One and a half years~~" The Sumen disciples all laughed, very proud.
Carney next to him snorted: "What's the use of building fast, a bunch of wooden things, a fire will be gone." ”
All the Sumen disciples turned their heads and glared at Kani, but Su Huai laughed:
"Brother Carney is right, this is what we think in Huaxia, our ancients have never regarded the building on the ground as a permanent monument, the building has fallen, the old one, and it will be rebuilt~"
Saying that, Su Huai sighed:
"And the ancient Chinese people can't call on several generations to complete a spiritual symbol, and work hard for hundreds of years to make a useless building, if any dynasty dares to do such a stupid thing, I'm afraid it won't take a few years to be overthrown by the people. ”
No one thought that Su Shengren would make a lot of nonsense and criticize the West as worthless in architecture!
The European and American audiences in front of the TV, although they were so angry with Su Huai more than once or twice, couldn't help but stand up and scold:
"This little bastard is wearing a high hat to the ancient Chinese again!"
"It's clear that you can't make a magnificent building by yourself, but you say it so grandiosely!"
"How dare you slander our splendid architecture of Europa!!"
Speaker Brown's face darkened at the scene, and he said to Su Huai in a deep voice: "Mr. Su, let me remind you to be cautious, how can you slander our glorious ancient buildings in Europa, which are stupid!?"
"Slander?" Su Huai said lightly; In our Chinese dynasties, there has never been an era in which theocracy overrides everything, and the history of Western architecture is nothing more than a history of temple and church architecture.
Speaker Brown and Tolkien were stunned, but Su Huai said indifferently:
"There are only two buildings in China that hurt the people's strength the most, one is that the First Emperor built the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies.
Second, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to connect the north and south of China.
If we Chinese people build churches and temples with the people of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, I am afraid that the scale of the construction will be grander than your entire Europa church. ”
Su Huai said and sighed: "Only this kind of building can be called great, and you Europa people would rather spend hundreds of years building churches, but from their own building technology for the well-being of the people, isn't it stupid?"
Su Shengren's last sentence was to turn his head and question all the Europeans and Americans present, but Speaker Brown and Tolkien were silent, and they couldn't find a word to refute him.
The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Great Wall can still be seen after the catastrophe, but in the history of architecture, they are considered to have no technological value at all, and are often despised by European and American architects.
But today's comparison makes Europeans and Americans feel ashamed of their placelessness.
Europeans and Americans have dedicated their people's power to God and religious people, while China has been used in the most important places for the country and the people.
Su Shengren was discussing through architecture, telling them that China has lasted for thousands of years and has stood tall in history, not relying on God, but this spirit of self-improvement and self-reliance for not believing in ghosts and gods.
At this time, Speaker Brown also secretly admired Su Huai's high mindedness, but he still felt that this person was clever and shifted the focus.
I couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Mr. Su, what you just said is right, your intentions are lofty, I can't talk about you, but we only talk about architecture today, not about people's livelihood, ancient Chinese architectural technology is far inferior to ancient Europa, this is an indisputable fact in the architectural community......"
Speaker Brown and Su Huai debated the height of the Eastern and Western buildings, and everyone had already come to the second scenic spot, and in front of them was the towering, more than 20 floors high wooden pagoda.
Su Huai couldn't help but smile when he heard Speaker Brown questioning the Chinese building technology: "Speaker Brown, why don't we enter the tower first, and then you can evaluate this Chinese building technology?"
