South Korea wants to apply for World Heritage status again. An old man from Henan brought out evidence from 3,000 years ago and asked: Do you have this?

Speaking of Feng Shui, everyone today feels that it is a feudal superstition, but in fact, Feng Shui was originally used by people to achieve harmony between the place where they live and the environment they live in. In ancient China, Feng Shui was also called geography, which emphasized "the unity of nature and man" and conforming to nature.

After thousands of years of continuous development, Feng Shui is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people. However, later some people gradually added some metaphysical colors, which made people's understanding of Feng Shui gradually move closer to feudal superstition.

Feng Shui has a history of development in China for thousands of years and is a traditional Chinese culture. However, in 2006, the Koreans planned to apply for Feng Shui to be a UNESCO World Heritage. When an architect in my country heard about this news, he quickly found More than 3,000 years of evidence was produced, which prevented the Koreans from applying for "Feng Shui World Heritage". He is the character we are going to get to know today, Wang Qiheng.

Chinese ancient architects have filled the gaps in ancient Chinese architectural concepts.

Wang Qiheng was born in Henan in 1947. He is a famous ancient architect in my country and a defender of Chinese architectural history. He has dedicated his life to ancient Chinese architecture. It is he who broke other countries' stereotypes about ancient Chinese architecture.

Wang Qiheng graduated from the Department of Architecture of Tianjin University and later stayed at the school to work. He is the leader of architectural history theory at Tianjin University. Under the influence of the concept of "scholars, farmers, industry and commerce" in ancient China, the status of craftsmen was relatively low, and there were few practitioners. In addition, most of the skills were passed down within the family and were mostly lost. Therefore, people are relatively unfamiliar with ancient Chinese architecture.

Although the ancients had architectural masterpieces such as the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace that shocked the world, the influence of Chinese architecture in the world is very small. In the eyes of foreigners, Chinese architectural knowledge originated earlier, and its influence is far less than that of Greece and Rome. Architecture, and the ancient Chinese family concept has been in a blank stage for a long time due to various reasons. This has also become a weapon for Western architects to criticize ancient Chinese architecture, mocking the ancient Chinese for not knowing how to design buildings.

Starting from 1930, Chinese architects determined to change their prejudices against Chinese architecture. This important task has been passed down from generation to generation and has been placed on the shoulders of Wang Qiheng's generation. Wang Qiheng is mainly engaged in the study of "style thunder" in the Qing Dynasty. "Style Lei" refers to the Lei family, a famous architect family in the Qing Dynasty. This family left many famous buildings in ancient China, such as the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Old Summer Palace, etc., each of which is an architectural treasure.

Wang Qiheng has been engaged in the research of ancient Chinese architecture. After his long-term and unremitting efforts, he finally filled the gap in ancient Chinese architectural concepts and gave architects in Western countries a new understanding of ancient Chinese architecture.

Produce evidence from more than 3,000 years ago to prevent South Korea from applying for World Heritage status

Wang Qiheng has been studying ancient Chinese architecture all his life and has also done a lot of research on the concept of Feng Shui. In his opinion, Feng Shui is not a superstition, but a science of landscape architecture. Professor Wang has always wanted to declare ancient Chinese architecture a world cultural heritage and has been working hard.

14 years ago, news suddenly spread that South Korea wanted to apply for Feng Shui to be a World Heritage. As we all know, ancient Korea was deeply influenced by China, and many Korean traditions and customs were passed down from China. Their Feng Shui knowledge is also deeply influenced by ancient Chinese Feng Shui culture. After hearing the news that they planned to apply for Feng Shui heritage, Wang Qiheng confidently told his teacher Mr. Luo Zhewen on the phone that he would definitely stop it. Their.

Long-term research has made Wang Qiheng very familiar with ancient Chinese architectural classics. The 59-year-old found out the relevant theories of ancient Chinese Feng Shui. When South Korea applied for World Heritage, he directly took out the records about Feng Shui that he had prepared in China more than 3,000 years ago, and asked the relevant personnel of South Korea's application for World Heritage, "Do you have this?" He also took the ancient Chinese architectural Feng Shui from its origin to its subsequent Development has given Koreans a popular science.

In the face of strong evidence, those representatives from South Korea could only go home in despair, and from then on they never thought about applying Feng Shui to the World Heritage. Professor Wang Qiheng's behavior was also very relieving. When he participated in CCTV's "Let's Talk" program, he also talked about this matter, which attracted the attention of many people.

Cultivate students and pass on culture

Wang Qiheng devoted his life to ancient Chinese architecture. He once said: "No one understands styles better than me." Such confident words originated from his more than thirty years of hard research and thousands of days and nights. For various reasons, the information on "Style Thunder" was scattered all over the world, so he led his team to search hard. He and his team devoted themselves to the research of "Style Thunder".

Finally, with the joint efforts of him and his team, they cracked the mystery of "Style Thunder" and could clearly restore the relevant details of the Lei family's original construction. Despite this, he was still not satisfied. In his opinion, , ancient Chinese architecture has left too many gaps, and he hopes to do his best to attract more people to Chinese architecture.

Today, Wang Qiheng has already reached the age of retirement, but he still stands on the three-foot podium and teaches knowledge to more students. He hopes that more people can realize the value of Chinese ancient architecture and cultivate a class that can inherit the style. Ray's research team.

"Teachers preach and learn and solve doubts." Wang Qiheng, who is over 70 years old, is full of passion and energy every time he lectures to his classmates. When he is excited, he will unconsciously raise his voice. He hopes to be able to convey what he has spent his whole life to. The knowledge was passed on to more people, so in his spare time, he also published what he knew and learned in books to introduce ancient Chinese architecture to more people.

Wang Qiheng always tells his students to "have awe of ancient culture." He said that the culture that has been handed down for five thousand years cannot just disappear. Someone must study them and show the charm of Chinese culture to the world.

The study of ancient Chinese architecture has been passed down from generation to generation. Generations of researchers of ancient architecture hope to prove to the world that ancient Chinese architecture has its own unique charm and characteristics.

Everyone's life is limited, but human civilization can progress from generation to generation because humans know how to pass on. Today, Wang Qiheng, like his predecessors, passes on his knowledge to more people to make them better be passed on.

"One style makes up half the history of ancient architecture." With the efforts of Wang Qiheng and his team, more and more people have begun to engage in research on ancient Chinese architecture, and more and more people have understood ancient Chinese architecture. meaning.

China has a history of five thousand years. It is definitely not just ancient buildings that need to be passed down, but also a lot of knowledge such as traditional Chinese medicine, ancient literature, ancient technology, etc. These are the treasures of our nation. It is precisely because of the efforts of many people like Professor Wang Qiheng , these precious cultures can be passed down from generation to generation, let us pay tribute to them.
