Tongjiang Academy has gone through thousands of years, and the overall building is still well preserved. However, during the special historical period when the Four Olds were destroyed, all the carved figures and heads were chiseled away, leaving only the body. In addition, it was caused by the passage of time.
Wind and rain erosion, etc.
How to develop tourism is a big issue related to money. The government's tourism construction budget is limited. If more money is spent on this matter, other aspects will be reduced. Therefore, there are two types of restoration of Tongjiang Academy.
Sound. One is to use reinforced concrete as the main body to imitate the ancient buildings, trying to ensure that the appearance is similar to the ancient buildings. Tourists just come here, take a picture in front of the camera, and it looks similar. To say the least, tourists all
We went to the Shenxianju. After the renovation, Tongjiang Academy was also a secondary attraction, and tourists passed by it. Good steel is used on the blade, and Tongjiang Academy had to make way for the Shenxianju building. There are many people who think this way.
Another opinion is to restore the old as it was before, and strive to use the same building materials as in ancient times. Tourist experience is the lasting life of tourism. What they want to see is history and ancient buildings, not modern cement imitations. As a method
A descendant of the family, the dean of Tongjiang Academy, naturally held the latter view and investigated everywhere to find the corresponding technology and funds. After seeing the restoration technology of the Yingshi Ancestral Hall in Gaoqian and understanding the budget, he did some mental calculations.
Based on the current land area and building area of Tongjiang Academy, it is estimated that it will cost 40 to 50 million yuan. The government's tourism allocation is at most 20 million yuan, which is more than half the difference.
Dean Fang smiled bitterly and said: "A penny can stump a hero. Now it's tens of millions. It's useless to just have an idea. Zhang Bureau, can you give me some news? When will there be hope?" p>
Director Zhang said with a smile: "Tourism is a green, smoke-free industry. The CPPCC has a proposal that we can work hard on the protection of cultural relics and allocate some funds."
"The county government's cultural relic protection funds are less than ten million a year, which is a drop in the bucket." Dean Fang shook his head. He had already thought about this aspect.
"There are always more methods than difficulties. There is another proposal to develop real estate in the surrounding areas based on Tongjiang Academy. A certain percentage of the winning development fees will be invested in the protection of cultural relics of Tongjiang Academy. Dean Fang, what do you think of this proposal?
What do you think?"
What do you think? Now the government has to do big things, and it seems that the only way to do it is to sell land and build real estate. A good idea is that if you break it down, you can get ten thousand taels of gold. Other than that, it is extremely difficult to have other good ideas. Dean Fang could only nod and said: "
No matter what method you use to raise money, as long as it is included in the plan, it is better than not doing anything.”
After the two chatted for a while, Dean Fang invited Director Zhang, his daughter, and Jin Huabin to visit the academy and explain the business related to stone windows and pebble inlays to the staff.
When they arrived at the academy, Director Zhang estimated the business volume. The stone windows were mainly the walls of Tongjiang Academy and the corridor of Dingshan Lake inside. The total length was about three thousand meters. It was estimated that there were about 2,000 stone windows of various types, and more than 2 million of them.
Business, the total length of the cobblestone road is less than one thousand meters.
On the old stone window, there was a sculpture of Ruyi, but the handle was broken. Director Zhang asked Dean Fang: "Dean Fang, I have something unclear and I want to ask you for advice. Why is this tickling thing called Ruyi?
What's the story in it?"
"To be honest, Ruyi really changed from Tickle Scratch." Dean Fang became interested and said: "In the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the use of Tickle Scratch was quite common. Maybe it was because celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties liked to take Wu Shi
The disease was scattered, and he didn't like to take a bath. His body was itchy, so scratching became popular. Celebrities each had a stick, talking and scratching at the same time, which almost became a grand scene at that time. Those who said "Ruyi" were so difficult that they could not be scratched by human hands.
It can be scratched anywhere as desired, hence the name "Ruyi". In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus had never seen this thing before. They thought it looked like a single-handled magic medicine Ganoderma lucidum, and even regarded it as a ritual vessel, using more and more materials.
The more sophisticated they are, the more they make gifts for ministers and concubines during festivals."
Is it really an itch? Director Zhang couldn't help but laugh. Turning his eyes, he saw a Chinese knot and a longevity lock carved on the stone window. "What's the allusion to this?" Director Zhang asked Director Fang again.
.
Dean Fang thought for a while and replied: "One of these two kinds of carvings is called the longevity thread and the other is the longevity lock. Its origin can be traced back to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the Five Husties disrupted China, which is the history of the Han nationality.
During the darkest and most miserable period in the world, people's greatest wish was to live safely, so the thread of longevity appeared, also called the thread of longevity, the thread of life, the five-color thread, the five colors represent the five elements, that is, the five-color silk thread was wrapped around the child.
On the arms, one hopes that the five elements will protect the children from disasters. In the Song Dynasty, this custom was not only popular among the people, but also spread to the palace and transformed into a life lock. The locks were engraved with "Long life and wealth" and "Longevity and longevity".
, auspicious wishes such as "Yutang Wealth and Honor", and the other side has traditional patterns such as "Qilin Sending Children"."
As expected, he was very knowledgeable. Director Zhang secretly admired and said: "As for the stone window business, my personal vision is to surround the wall with a total of 1,400 stone windows. The plan is to use a stick, the four treasures of the study, plum, orchid and bamboo.
Chrysanthemums, lotus flowers, various swastikas, etc. are relatively simple carvings. The patterns of each stone window are different. In terms of shape, because it is an exterior wall, it is fan-shaped, circular, prismatic, etc. p>
There are a total of 600 stone windows in the middle corridor, and the theme is around education. It is engraved with hundreds of philosophies from the Confucius Temple, inspirational education stories in history, celebrities in academies and immortal residences, etc."
Dean Fang was shocked when he heard this and said: "Each stone window has a different pattern. There are a total of two thousand design drawings. This is an astronomical number. Is this what your factory plans to do?"
"If you don't say it, let's keep the nostalgia and the memory of history. We have to use some snacks to repair it into a fine product." Director Zhang paused and then said: "Some things can never be found again if they are lost.
I'm back. Although the design task is heavy, I just need to use my brain more."
Dean Fang sighed and said: "If I were the boss, I would definitely use your plan, but even though I am the owner of this academy, I don't have the final say in the planning of the academy's construction."
Walking out of Tongjiang Academy, Director Zhang felt that he had boasted too much. The available patterns on hand were only about 200 or 2,000 patterns at most. Where could he find so many samples? He really was
I am so obsessed with it that I really want to transform and take off the hat of carving tombstones on my head. The good thing is that the county government bidding has not started yet, and today is just a personal exchange of opinions with Dean Fang.
When Director Zhang returned home, he didn't expect there were several people sitting in front of his house. When he saw him coming in, he quickly stood up and greeted him: "Director Zhang, we have all heard the story about the dragon you inlaid. I am from Lizhaicun."
, the ancestral hall needs to be renovated, please give it a look tomorrow."
