Who is Yan Laoxi? He was a member of the bald party, a powerful faction with old seniority, a self-proclaimed commander-in-chief of the navy, land and air forces of the Republic of China, and at its most glorious time, he once sat on 6 provinces, and was the president in sight. Such a person actually surrendered, and suddenly threw a boulder between the upper and lower classes of the bald party, and many people subconsciously began to think about how they should go in the future.
At the time when the target plane was Yanhuang Continent, and the attention of many people of the Republic of China was focused on the change of ownership in the three provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, and Ningxia in the northwest and the late festival of Yan Laoxi, and the incident of "changing banners" again, a cultural relics protection and restoration work was quietly carried out in Shanxi, which was praised as a "great achievement" by many experts and scholars in the era of peaceful development in later generations.
Shanxi Province, which was once occupied by the Japanese pirates, has been recovering from the Yanhuanghong Party and has been organizing the structure for two months, and all the work in Shanxi has been carried out in an orderly manner: The troop arrangements for the major cities and counties in Shanxi have been prepared, the working groups in the villages have all been put in place, and practical work has been carried out, such as trying the local tyrants and shoddy gentry who have committed the most heinous crimes, buying up land, property, and shops, and rebuilding private houses, canals, ponds, and rainwater cellars.
At the same time, with the help of Wang Fan, the basic construction of railways and highways in Shanxi Province was completed, although in order to hide people's eyes and ears, the last kilometer of railways and highways needed to be mobilized by the Red Party border area to mobilize mass troops, arrange professional manpower to build and connect with the main line, but after two months of hard work, the entire inter-provincial transportation network was basically realized in accordance with the original plan, and Shanxi Province not only realized the railway connection with Shaanxi, Chahar, and Outer Mongolia, forming a railway network similar to the main artery of the human body. And like acting as a capillary, the country road used to achieve the goal of "village to village" has also been successfully completed, coupled with the millions of agricultural motorcycle tricycles invested by Wang Fan, the whole Shanxi is full of busy transportation and construction scenes, well, to put it bluntly, it is like a super large construction site.
However, everything has two sides, there are always advantages and disadvantages at the same time, Shanxi in the help of Comrade Wang Fan's cheat device, to achieve leapfrog development at the same time, there is a problem that Wang Fan never dreamed of - cultural relics protection.
Different from the more barren Shaanxi (of course, Xi'an is an exception), Shanxi is a major cultural province, like the later generations of the country's well-known cultural monuments there are several places, such as: Qiaojia Compound, Pingyao Ancient City, etc.
Although Qiao's compound is not the largest in Shanxi's "compound", it is famous throughout the country because of a series of the same name in later generations, and women and children know it. In reality, Qiao's compound covers an area of more than 8,700 square meters and consists of 6 courtyards and 19 small courtyards with a total of 313 houses. The whole is a double happiness character layout, castle-like building. It is surrounded by a fully enclosed brick wall of more than 10 meters high.
The structure of the whole Qiaojia courtyard is the courtyard and the courtyard are linked, the houses are connected, the top of the hanging mountain, the top of the hill, the top of the hard mountain, the roof of the roll shed and the top of the plane are lined up one after another, the courtyard courtyard, the courtyard that pierces the heart, the eccentric courtyard, the corner yard is distributed in the meantime, there are more brick carvings, ridge carvings, wall carvings, screen carvings, and countless column carvings.
At this time, Wang Fanzheng and Comrade Chen Yun, who was in charge of the construction of Shanxi, visited Qiao's compound and Pingyao Ancient City on the spot.
"I didn't expect someone to propose to demolish the Qiao family compound and the Pingyao Ancient City!" Wang Fan sighed.
"Wang Fan, please understand this, recently our development and construction speed is too fast, some areas began to appear in a mood of rushing to work, some like the signs of the later generations of Yuejin, zhèngfǔ set up some work supervision groups, go to the grassroots level, to explain the implementation of the policy, to cool down the actual responsible comrades in various regions." Chen Yun explained on the side.
"I understand that because of the construction of the new countryside, especially the advancement of rural modernization, many rural grassroots cadres are more anxious and want to let their villagers live a good life as soon as possible, so they are a little impatient, but for this reason, they plan to demolish the Qiaojia compound and other ancient buildings, and take their wood to build houses, it will be a bit more than worth the loss. Wang Fan smiled and said teasingly.
"Yes, but in addition to building houses, some people also propose to erase the symbol of the existence of the landlords in the past - the deep house compound, and complete the socialist transformation of the gods." Chen Yun shook his head and added.
"The scriptures are good scriptures, but some people read them crookedly~" Wang Fan answered: "Uncle Chen, let me tell you a joke!" ”
"Oh? What's the joke? ”
"In the fifties and sixties, we launched a national sanitation clean-up campaign of "stressing hygiene and cleaning", which originally meant that we could improve the hygiene level of our people, reduce the spread of diseases, and prolong the life expectancy of the people, but you know, there are always some evaluations, advanced and other propaganda exists, and it has gradually become a competition between regions and villages. In the end, in order to shine in front of the superior leaders, some villages actually started a sanitation activity to brush the teeth of the animals, and really received the commendation and praise of the superior units, alas~~ The original meaning of the digression is thousands of miles! Wang Fan spoke in a brisk tone.
"Is there such a thing?"
"Yes, it's true! Therefore, if you can, the border area needs to do some correct guidance work, don't build for the sake of evaluation, engage in face projects, in the final analysis, the new countryside is for the people of Yanhuang to live, and whether they live comfortably or happily is the most important thing, not whether the leaders inspect and look good. This really needs to be promoted now, or when the whole country is liberated and the political power is stabilized, the common people are afraid of the officials, and the idea of the official position will unconsciously return to cháo, if there is no reliable supervision and window channel to speak for the people, it is easy to cause the upper and lower levels to be disconnected, and the high-level decision-making mistakes. ”
"You reminded me very well, and I want to reflect this to the chairman and the prime minister, so that we can arrange in advance and strive to avoid or minimize problems." Chen Yun replied with a serious face.
"Thank you! By the way, Uncle Chen, do you know why the little devil didn't damage every grass and tree in the Qiao family's compound, but took care of it with his heart? Wang Fan saw Chen Yun, who was serious when he talked about work, and quickly changed the topic.
"I've heard of this, saying that it's because when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Yanhuang earlier, Shanxi Governor Yuxian killed foreigners on the border of Shanxi. Seven Italian nuns fled from Taiyuan to Qi County in a hurry. Qiao Zhiyong relented, hid them in his own silver vault, and pulled them to Hebei with a cart transporting firewood and grass and rescued them. Chen Yun usually likes to read books and has a wide range of knowledge, and replied fluently: "As a result, the Italian form of repaying the favor is more unique, and the Qiao family is commended with an Italian flag." After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, although the little devils damaged the mansions of many large families in Shanxi, they did not destroy the compound of the Qiao family, because there was an Italian flag hanging at the door of Qiao's house, which was the flag of the little devil's allies. ”
"Yes, the little devil is actually a very face-saving nation, and he has never done anything less than to falsely report his war exploits, exaggerate the number of enemies destroyed and conceal the number of his own casualties." Wang Fan nodded, and then said: "But objectively speaking, the Qiao family compound can only be regarded as a first-class cultural monument in China, and it is not ranked in the world. But the ancient city of Pingyao is different, in my main plane in 1986, the United Nations directly included it in the "World Heritage List". ”
"So powerful?" Chen Yun was a little surprised when he thought of the dilapidated ancient city of Pingyao in his impression.
"Well, the main reason is that the ancient city of Pingyao basically retains all the characteristics of the Yanhuang city in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the urban facilities are very complete, and you can see the traces of the cultural, social, economic and religious development of the Yanhuang society at that time, so it is precious."
"This is the fundamental reason why you want us to maintain the status quo of the ancient city of Pingyao?" After hearing Wang Fan's explanation, Chen Yun nodded and asked.
"Yes!"
"But there are some troubles and problems in this!" Chen Yun thought of the specific work that needed to be arranged for this and spoke.
"What are the difficulties?"
"The main thing is the pursuit of the people's life, as you just said, we are now starting the transformation and construction of the new countryside. If the residents of Pingyao see the new rural construction and rural modernization we are now carrying out in Shanxi, many poor peasants and red peasants, including most of the middle peasants, who used to have empty walls, not only live in spacious and bright new houses, but also use electricity, running water and solar water heaters, the village roads are paved with asphalt and cement, and the specially built cultural squares, how do you think we can persuade the people of Pingyao to reduce their own needs and voluntarily continue to live in cramped, dim old wooden houses? And watching the surrounding villages live in modern new homes? But if the aborigines in the ancient city of Pingyao all move out and become a historical empty city that can only be visited, it shouldn't be what you expected? That's why I said it's hard to put it into practice! Chen Yun elaborated.
"Is this ~~" After Wang Fan heard this, he frowned, walked slowly, thinking about the maintenance and solution of other regions and ancient towns in the country in the future, after Chen Yun saw it, he didn't bother, and followed quietly.
Ten minutes later.
"When I go back this time, I'll look for reference materials," Wang Fan and Chen Yun sat by a window on the second floor at this time, and said: "What I can think of now is that the later generations are more successful, and what is worth learning from is the 'Kyoto' of the later generations!" ”
"The 'Kyoto' of the Wakos? Is it special? ”
"In the words of many domestic travelers in later generations, the 'Kyoto' of the Japanese Kou has completely preserved the relics of the Tang and Song dynasties!"
"The legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties? The legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties hundreds of years earlier than the Ming and Qing dynasties? How did they do it? After Chen Yun heard Wang Fan's words, he was very surprised, and he was also interested, and asked.
"I need to go back and check the information about how to do it and how it developed step by step, so I'll tell you about the first impression that 'Kyoto' gave me." Wang Fan took a sip of the water in the cup and said, "The first feeling I get from Kyoto is a big garden!" ”
"The big garden?"
"Yes, big garden! A large garden where you can live in it and leave without an expiration date. In later generations, many cities built their own urban gardens to show off the city's taste. But firstly, the area is limited, and secondly, even if you are nostalgic, it is time to leave late at night. However, Kyoto is a large garden. The green plants are well maintained, in addition to its geographical location, the maintenance consciousness and public morality consciousness of later generations also occupy the main aspect. ”
"Can you give some examples?"
"For example, there are two rivers in Kyoto that merge into one in the city, but in addition to this, there are many tributaries and fiber streams, some of which are only about 5 meters long, and pass through the courtyard of a family. This is one of them. ”
"Well, keep talking!"
"The second is the architecture of Kyoto, which retains as much of its original flavor as possible, such as fence windows, guardrails, and access controls, fences made of bamboo rows, gravel paths, bluestone brick bridges, and river embankments. Of course, in order to adapt to modern life, they introduced wires, installed the necessary water supply and water equipment, electrical equipment, etc. ”
"So you say it's a garden, that's because of this, surrounded by green, ancient, and authentic?"
"Yes, in addition, most of the citizens living in Kyoto make a living from the tourism industry, because Kyoto preserves the ancient sè ancient fragrance and original flavor, which attracts travel enthusiasts from all over the world to visit, and at the same time, Kyoto zhèngfǔ does not build high-rise buildings, but encourages residents in the city to use their own houses to open up small hostels with only 6~12 people, with their own family's specialty cuisine, arrange a unique accommodation experience, so in Kyoto, the feeling of staying in different hostels is different, Very attractive to continue going next time. ”
"I kind of get it!"
"Because the better the protection, the more authentic it is, and the more the taste of the city is improved, many people live in it, and in addition to material comforts, there is also a kind of self-jīng god appeal, so that the residents of Kyoto will live there voluntarily for generations. Oh, by the way, I also think about the fact that there are a large number of cafes in Kyoto, Western-style, oriental-style, and versatile styles, and when a person visits the 'too historical' ancient buildings of the city with a serious and appreciative mood, and then enters a café full of modern atmosphere and a familiar and comfortable atmosphere, he will suddenly relax and lazy, and thus get great physical and mental satisfaction. This is the Kyoto I feel from later generations, I hope that the ancient city of Pingyao can also become a similar existence, with its own characteristics and historical traces, attracting people from all over the world to visit here, experience our ancient civilization of Yanhuang, be amazed, shocked, attracted, and then like Yanhuang, willing to understand Yanhuang, willing to integrate into Yanhuang, as long as we can continue to attract the world's best talents to live, work, and settle in Yanhuang, the country can truly achieve sustainable development. Wang Fan slowly poured out what he thought in his heart.
