Chapter 505: Dreams
As an important corner of Chinese culture, the Old Summer Palace has not been considered for restoration since it was destroyed by war, but after thinking about it for a long time, until today, no one can stand up and say the final word.
This is not only related to the individual's ability, but also inextricably linked to the current situation in North Korea.
First of all, if you want to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, you must need to be in a prosperous era and have great financial support before you can rebuild and repair it.
The Old Summer Palace was not originally a garden dedicated to the royal family, but a garden given by Emperor Kangxi to the fourth master, that is, the later Emperor Yongzheng.
After the accession of the Yongzheng Emperor, a series of palaces were added in the south of the garden, and the Qianlong Emperor reigned for 60 years, the Old Summer Palace was expanded every year, in addition, the Changchun Garden was also built in the east forest of the Old Summer Palace, and the Wanchun Garden incorporated into the southeast, the Old Summer Palace seen by later generations is the synthesis of these three gardens.
When Jiaqing was in power, it was mainly repaired to the Qichun Garden, and later when the Daoguang Emperor came, the national government was weakened, the material was insufficient, and the repair of many gardens was removed, but only for the three Yuanming Gardens, still refused to give up the modification and decoration.
The Old Summer Palace was named after the Kangxi Emperor, and on the lintel of the Old Summer Palace Hall in the past, it was the Kangxi Emperor's imperial book that hung the three big characters of "Old Summer Palace".
Round and into the gods, the gentleman is also in the middle of the time, bright and pervasive, the master is only wise.
The Qing Dynasty poured all the country's material resources, gathered countless exquisite craftsmen, filled lakes and mountains, planted trees and flowers, collected dozens of famous places at home and abroad, built hundreds of palace buildings, and among these buildings, there were countless rare treasures, known as "the garden of ten thousand gardens".
The construction of the Old Summer Palace is not possible overnight, but it took several generations of a dynasty to devote all the world's financial and material resources to condense the painstaking efforts, and now if you want to repair and rebuild the Old Summer Palace of the year, the difficulty can be imagined.
Many people may have a certain misunderstanding of the history of the Qing Dynasty since modern times, and the humiliation suffered by China in modern times is probably another great shame after the Yuan Dynasty.
This history of humiliation has made many people think that the Qing Dynasty at that time was a very weak country, but in fact it was not the case, it is undeniable that compared with the previous emperors, when the last emperor was in power, the silver in the treasury was indeed much less, and the country's financial resources were much smaller, but if compared with those foreign countries, the silver in the Qing Dynasty treasury was still an unattainable astronomical amount for those countries.
In fact, in the process of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there are countless opportunities to save, even if it is one, as long as one person stands up, China will not be so quickly covered with the iron hooves of foreigners.
Sometimes the country is the same as people, there is no eternal country, but some countries have a long life, and some dynasties are short-lived, and when the Qing Dynasty reached the Daoguang period, it was already a return to the light, just like a person reached a certain age, even if more people stood up to save the country, in fact, it was just a shot of strength for people, which could make people last for a while longer, but it could never save people's lives.
The gas is exhausted.
Even when the Qing government was at its poorest, it still never gave up repairing and renovating the Old Summer Palace, and it can be seen from this how much effort and material resources the Qing Dynasty invested in the Old Summer Palace! If the Old Summer Palace had not been destroyed, I am afraid that this would have been a world miracle that was not under the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum!
A dynasty, several generations of emperors, and the people of the whole country have devoted all their manpower and material resources to build such a gorgeous garden, which was destroyed in the war.
It is easier to destroy than to build, why many people have the idea of rebuilding the Old Summer Palace, but they never dare to put it forward, because everyone knows very well that if you want to build the Old Summer Palace, it is not a matter of one person or two, but a matter that requires the whole country to make a decision!
It took hundreds of years to build the garden, and now it can be said that it has disappeared, if you want to restore it, in fact, the difficulty is not under the rebuilding of a Yuanmingyuan, and the most important premise for restoration and reconstruction is a lot of money and manpower and material resources!
It is not an era of peace and prosperity, the country is rich and the people are strong, and the rebuilding of the Old Summer Palace is absolutely impossible.
If you want to restore the Old Summer Palace, you must first get the consent of the state and the people, and secondly, you need the strong support of the state and the strength of the whole country to complete such a grand project.
In a very early days, An Wen had such a great dream in his heart, maybe he was not the only one, everyone who went to the Old Summer Palace, saw the ruined and broken Yuanmingyuan, and wanted to witness the real Old Summer Palace back then.
The happiest thing in life is to turn your dreams into real realities.
In the past, he had too many things to do, and his strength was too weak, and this kind of thing couldn't be considered at all, because it was too far away, but for the current stability, he already had quite strong strength, and now there was nothing to do, so he began to think about it.
An Wen has been thinking about this matter for a day or two, he knows that many people do not agree to rebuild the Old Summer Palace, in fact, for a long time, An Wen is also in contradiction, whether to repair or not has its own pros and cons, there is no saying which side is absolutely correct, but every time he thinks of the father and daughter he once saw in the Old Summer Palace, An Wen made up his mind to rebuild the Old Summer Palace.
There are some things that cannot be forgotten, and some people must be nailed to the pillar of shame forever!
Forgetting means living too comfortably, being comfortable will lead to pride, pride will fall behind, and backwardness will definitely be beaten!
An Wen doesn't think he is a patriotic person, on the contrary, he actually feels that he is a very selfish person, but in this world, people live for a lifetime, and there must be times when they can't just be for themselves, isn't this the truth?
Now Huaxia has entered the formal, is growing at the fastest speed, thinking of a few decades later, I can't help but be proud, this is the best era, this country, has the ability and the foundation to support him to complete such a grand project, even if it takes him a lifetime!
An Wen's greatest hope is to be able to see the real Old Summer Palace a hundred years ago, and he is now working hard for this.
