Chapter 1460 Relocation Plan

Chapter 1460 Relocation Plan

Everyone walked to Wangyun Building together and found that there was an additional sign at the gate, "Leading Group of the Three Gorges Cultural Relics Protection Project of Yuzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau."

It turns out that this is the temporary office location of the cultural preservation working group.

It seems that Li Laosan and Lin Wanqiu have been here more than once and are very familiar with the staff here.

After Li Laosan's introduction, Zhou Zhi learned that the personnel under this brand was a bit complicated, including the Protection Department of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Yuzhou Cultural Relics Bureau, the Yunyang County Cultural Relics Protection Management Office, and the Xiajiang Cultural Relics Engineering Co., Ltd. Everyone works together here.

As the largest private foundation with money and power, the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Foundation is very prestigious here. We have made an appointment to be here today to introduce the progress of the cultural preservation work of Huanhou Temple to the foundation.

Xiajiang Cultural Relics Engineering Co., Ltd. was established by the Three Gorges Cultural Relics Protection Project Leading Group of the Yuzhou Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau. Its task is to be responsible for the relocation of several important national monuments.

Manager Chen Xiaolin is the introducer of this work progress.

"Due to the high value of Zhangfei Temple's natural and cultural landscapes, it was designated as a provincial key cultural relic protection unit in 1980. It is now the only key scenic spot in Yuzhou City within the Three Gorges Reservoir area that has been completely flooded and relocated. ”

"After the Three Gorges Project impounds water and generates electricity, the water level will rise to 135 meters. However, the lowest point of the Huanhou Temple's roof is only 130 meters. In other words, if it is not relocated, the first and a half floors of the temple will be was flooded, so relocation was necessary.”

"With the inspection funds provided by the Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Fund, our site selection inspection work can start five years in advance. I am here also representing the Protection Department of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, the Yuzhou Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Yunyang County Cultural Relics Protection Management Office to express my gratitude to the Foundation Thank you very much to my colleagues.”

"Manager Chen is so polite. This is a major event for the whole nation. Of course it makes us feel honored to be able to play a role in it." Li Laosan now also talks about the situation in the same way: "Then the address selection Ok?"

"Director Meng of the Protection Department, Director Wang of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, and Director Cui of the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University, after on-site inspections, believed that the new site of Huanhou Temple should be located in the Qin Family Courtyard of Group 10, Long'an Village, Panshi Town, on the other side of Yunyang New County. It’s very appropriate.”

"The original site here is only over 27 acres, but based on the principles of 'relocating the old as before' and 'focusing on development', we set the first phase of the new site to be 55 acres. If possible, the second phase will be expanded to 55 acres. One hundred and twenty-six acres.”

"Establishing that location was carefully considered." Tsinghua University School of Architecture is responsible for the planning and design of the entire project. Director Cui took over the topic in a timely manner: "According to the "Zhangfei Temple Protection Plan" formulated by the Cultural Relics Protection Department of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage "The relocation and protection of Zhangfei Temple must highlight the reproduction of the original environment and the protection of cultural values."

"Therefore, the topographic environment of the new Zhangfei Temple is the basis for the success or failure of the Zhangfei Temple relocation project."

"The biggest topographic features of Zhangfei Temple are that it is close to mountains, near rivers, and on rocks," said Director Cui. "Long'an Village is across the river from Yunyang County. Regardless of the mountain angle, scale, or terrain, it is very similar to here."

"In addition, it is only 30 kilometers away from here and even closer to the county seat. The distance is suitable. There is a road leading to the village. To connect to the new site, we only need to build a 600-meter new road, which can save a lot of infrastructure costs."

"It's a bit interesting." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Thirty kilometers reminds me of an allusion here."

"What allusion?" Li Laosan was very curious about the allusions in the baby's belly. Firstly, he was curious about the allusions themselves, and secondly, he was curious about how this baby could hold so many allusions in his belly.

"It is said that the reason for the prosperity of this place is that, in addition to Zhang Fei's loyalty and righteousness, his spirit often protects passing ships and sends favorable winds for 30 miles. Therefore, later generations built a pavilion in the temple with the words 'Help me with the breeze' on it, and the pavilion was named 'Zhufeng Pavilion'."

"In the past, before new ships sailing on the Sichuan River, the shipowners would go to Zhangwang Temple to worship and pray for safety before their maiden voyage. Even now, every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year and the 28th of August, all ships passing through Zhangwang Temple Ships, including the most luxurious cruise ships, will set off firecrackers for Mr. Zhang. "Ouch!" Li Laosan is from Hong Kong, but he is not an ordinary superstitious person: "You just told me to pay homage and you didn't listen!" Those who know the law and break it will be punished with an additional penalty!”

"If Zhang Fei is really spiritual and knows that we are all doing good things, he will not care about these details and help us go smoothly." Zhou Zhi has a profound foundation in Confucianism and of course has his own logic.

Too lazy to answer Li Laosan, he continued to tell the story: "It is said that Zhang Penghe, the governor of the Kangxi River in the Qing Dynasty, returned to Suining to visit relatives. He passed by this place by boat. Not only did he not worship, but he also said arrogantly that 'civilians do not worship military generals'."

"As a result, the headwind suddenly picked up that night. When Zhang Penghie woke up, he found that his ship was no longer where it was and had been blown back to the thirty miles it came from!"

"Zhang Penghie was deeply in awe and prepared three sacrifices and three fruits to go to the temple to pay homage. From then on, it was all smooth sailing."

"When the provincial relatives came back, Zhang Penghie composed a poem specifically for this purpose: 'In ancient times, Tongluo crossed the Sichuan River to the east. Thank you sir for the favorable wind. I am ashamed that I have nothing in my boat, but I set sail to carry the stone to town Kongtong.'"

"The stone tablet engraved with this poem is still inlaid on the wall of Zhufeng Pavilion." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "This is thirty miles with the wind and thirty miles with the headwind. The total is exactly equal to the distance between the old temple and the new temple. I really don’t know whether it’s a coincidence or God’s will…”

When Zhou Zhi said this, everyone thought it was really magical. Li Laosan even clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky.

Director Cui, a master of engineering, advocated that "man can conquer nature", and he was a little used to the superstitious behavior of Hong Kong Islanders. He continued: "Of course, the new site is not absolutely ideal, because through geological exploration, we found that the rock formations at the new site are shallow and cannot be replaced." Use natural rock formations to elevate Zhang Fei Temple’s buildings.”

"What should we do then?" Zhou Zhi asked.

"In order not to destroy the 'rock' style of Zhang Fei Temple, in the new plan, we decided to use reinforced concrete and other modern building materials to pour an 18-meter-high rock ridge as the roof foundation of the ancient building complex." Director Cui Said: "Inside this barrier, we designed it as an underground exhibition hall, divided into three floors. The first floor is the cultural relic restoration room, rubbing room, warehouse, etc.; the second floor is the cultural relics exhibition room, folk customs exhibition hall, etc.; the third floor is the cultural relics exhibition room, folk customs exhibition hall, etc. The first floor is the cultural relics exhibition hall, the Three Kingdoms Story Exhibition Hall, etc.”

"After completion, in addition to the work area on the first floor, the second and third floors will be open to the public."

"In terms of appearance, we will modify the artificial rock ridge with natural stones and copy the flying wind inscriptions on the original site of Zhang Fei Temple, trying not to expose traces of modern buildings."

"Then the first phase plan of 55 acres should be based on the planning of the 18-meter-high artificial rock sill base?"

"There is this purpose in it, but it is more about taking into account the scope of the original site and the terrain."

"Fifty-five acres, the corresponding key protection area extends vertically to one hundred meters. One hundred and twenty-six acres is ideal, and it extends vertically to one hundred and fifty meters." Dean Cui said: "This way This includes Zhang Fei Temple and its surrounding areas.”

"That's great, but how can we ensure that the principle of 'relocating the old remains the same' is followed during the relocation process?" Lin Wanqiu asked.
