Why should we protect historic buildings?

Thank you Wukong for inviting me to answer! Historical buildings bear historical, scientific and artistic values, which we carry forward and inherit from the historical roots and are the characteristics of civilization. It is because cultural relics carry historical information, which is the basis for us to understand, study and appreciate historical buildings and the core of cultural relics' value.

It is necessary for us to protect the authenticity and integrity of cultural relics, but it does not mean to completely "repair the old as the old". We think "keep it as it is" is a common saying about the protection of cultural relics. Historical buildings and cultural relics protection should be "original, original and original", and the buildings should be historic, civilized and environmentally friendly. It is the original, and the original site is an important reason for the preservation of historical relics!

Ancient architecture is not only an important carrier of history and culture, but also an effective witness of historical vicissitudes, and it is also our precious cultural heritage. It can stimulate our patriotic enthusiasm and further enhance our national pride. Therefore, we have the responsibility and obligation to love and protect it.

First, an important carrier of history and culture. Through ancient buildings, we can understand the rich cultural connotation of a period. In a sense, they are the historical witness and eternal memory of a city's development. Regardless of the change of time, they witnessed the vicissitudes of the city's history for hundreds or even thousands of years. Recording history and displaying culture are the real meaning and value of ancient buildings.

The second is the real thing that inspires our patriotic enthusiasm and national self-confidence. Ancient architecture is the wisdom and crystallization of China's excellent culture. Visiting ancient buildings can not only make people feel its unique artistic charm, but also make people feel the greatness of China's ancient culture, and be proud of our creation of such exquisite architectural products. For example, the Forbidden City, with its exquisite design and quaint external image, makes the world feel spectacular and makes our Chinese sons and daughters proud.

Third, we study the specific objects of history. From the study of ancient buildings, we can see the development of other sciences in the same period and the level reached at that time. For example, Zhao Zhouqiao in Zhao County, Hebei Province, which was 1400 years ago, is the oldest and best-preserved giant stone arch bridge in the world. Its design not only reduces the impact of running water on the bridge, so that the bridge is not easily washed away by flood, but also reduces the weight of the bridge and saves stones. It is a pioneering work in the history of civil engineering bridges in the world, which makes us look at the wisdom of the ancients with new eyes. Therefore, to study the architectural history of China, ancient architecture is the best example.

Fourth, it is an important material basis for developing tourism. Ancient architecture is not only the carrier of history and culture, but also an important foundation for developing tourism. The huge brand effect of ancient architectural resources itself has added tourism weight to local scenic spots. For example, the Forbidden City in Beijing and the gardens in Suzhou have attracted more and more friends from home and abroad to visit, creating favorable conditions for promoting the development of urban tourism.

I visited Zhuhai alone and walked into the "Yang's Ancestral Hall". I spent half a day visiting. It is the home carefully built by Yangmen women who went south to Guangdong. The structure is very beautiful. There is a national cultural concept in the building and the project is exquisite. It is comfortable to stand in the middle of the hall. The modern building has a big hall, and standing in the hall feels depressed and besieged. What's the so-called half-hearted architectural knowledge? ! At present, ancestral temples and ancestral houses are established in rural areas as family contact places, which travel back and forth to the original architectural style and convey the message of national justice and beauty to future generations. Teenagers nowadays are longing for it.

Historical buildings need to be protected. I like historical buildings. It is not as hard and cold as reinforced concrete buildings.

The timeline comes from ancient times and extends forward until the future, the future.

There are many shining stars on the time axis. If each star represents an era, people in that era are old and disappear in the dust of history, leaving behind what people in that era did, wrote and built, including buildings. These buildings should be protected, and more and more people realize the importance and necessity of protecting historical buildings.

One of the reasons: flashing the wisdom of the ancients.

Every brick and tile of the historic building is done manually, and every process is permeated with the sweat and hard work of the ancients. A delicate and huge building took several years, more than ten years, invested a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, and even sacrificed many people's lives. These historic buildings show the wisdom of the ancients, contain rich cultural connotations and shine with the brilliance of architectural achievements at that time.

The second reason: historical buildings cannot be copied.

The third reason: high scientific research value.

A historic building combines the wisdom of designers, carpenters and architects. If modern people want to understand history and culture, they can start with historical buildings and conduct in-depth and detailed research. Through architecture, we can understand people's living conditions and customs at that time, and understand the cultural background at that time, so as to inherit and carry forward.

Walking into a historic building is like talking to a knowledgeable old man. He is knowledgeable and eloquent, telling the unique people, events, sights and feelings of his time: antique with the flavor of the times, tile pine on the roof, moss on the eaves, thick blue bricks mottled and falling off, spider silk on the beams, elegance or rudeness of men, beauty or charm of women. ...

Let me talk about my point of view. Historical buildings bear the history and are the material evidence of civilization. Now everywhere I go, I will stop to miss the historic buildings and explore them carefully. From the exquisite carving on a tile, I think of a group of unknown craftsmen in history. They built this historic building with their wise hands for future generations to see.

I think historical buildings reflect the characteristics of architectural art and aesthetic art of the society at that time. All the historical buildings I have seen are beautifully made. It is irreplaceable by any antique building. Walking into historical buildings is like walking into history and becoming a member of the society at that time, from which you can feel the history and the wisdom of the ancients.

I think historical buildings are unrepeatable because they are historical buildings. It's gone when it's torn down. A nation should know its own history, find a way out in historical buildings and enhance its sense of historical identity.

As big as a country, a city and a small family, we all need to know where we come from and our roots, and historical buildings are the carriers of spiritual culture. The popularity of historical and cultural tourism in recent years has made people have a sense of identity with historical things.

I hope my answer can help you, thank you!

Ancient buildings are the only evidence to prove the existence and survival of our Chinese nation from the beginning. Protecting it well can not only make people admire, but also help us understand the great architectural experience of ancient Chinese people and add considerable excitement to our lives! !

Ancient buildings have historical value, scientific value and artistic value. These values can be recognized and applied because cultural relics carry historical information, which is the basis for us to know, study and appreciate ancient buildings and the core of cultural relics value.

The importance of historical information lies in that it can be continuously studied and understood, and there will be new interpretations. We can study our knowledge today, and future generations can also study it. Moreover, with people's more and more comprehensive grasp of documents and materials and more and more developed scientific and technological means, future generations will have richer and deeper knowledge than we do, and new discoveries will be made constantly. As long as the original objects of cultural relics exist, the understanding and interpretation of their information will never end. When the original does not exist, the interpretation of the information will be terminated. People can copy a cultural relic, but what they keep is only the information we already know. The information we have never known has been inadvertently lost, so it is impossible to find anything new. Because of this, we say that cultural relics are non-renewable.

The evaluation criteria of world heritage especially emphasize the protection of the authenticity and integrity of cultural heritage. China's Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics also stipulates: "The principle of not changing the original state of cultural relics must be observed in repairing, maintaining and moving immovable cultural relics." Are based on the same principle.

This is actually an act of protecting history. At least we can leave some clues for our future generations and give them some opportunities to understand ancient life. Protecting ancient buildings can also be developed into tourism projects. . .

Architecture is not only architecture, but also solidified music. In the mid-9th century, music composer Mniz Haupdmann said in his masterpiece The Essence of Harmony and Beat that "music is a flowing building", which expressed the artist's understanding of music and architectural art..

Since then, "Music is a flowing building, and architecture is solidified music" has become a famous saying that many people agree with and strongly admire.

From this we can feel the influence of architecture on people. It has a touching power, which affects you, infects you and enlightens you like music.

Historical buildings are not just ordinary buildings, but excellent buildings are the bearing of skills, civilization and culture. It is the witness of history and the crystallization of the labor and wisdom of our ancestors in ancient times. Historical buildings reflect the level of science and technology at that time, customs and habits, people's hobbies in the past and the fashion of that era. Architecture is a museum of time.

It has come from ancient times, so that people after a hundred years and a thousand years still have the opportunity to appreciate its elegance and feel the vicissitudes of time. Those ancient marks left by years of erosion are still telling its glory and glory, as well as the disasters and pains it experienced.

What is architecture? Many precious buildings in history, though silent, tell us the answer.

Qufu Three Holes is a world-famous cultural heritage. Confucius House, Confucius Temple and Confucius Forest, these large-scale ancient buildings, let us appreciate the beauty of ancient buildings.

Excellent architecture is the crystallization of splendid culture.

Without these buildings, how can we perceive the track of its thousand-year evolution and appreciate the ingenuity of the ancients in bricks, tiles, walls and columns? How can we imagine the rarity and ingenuity of the ancients' skills from carving beams and painting buildings and flying over eaves and walls?

If you keep the ancient buildings, you will keep the genes of civilization and faint nostalgia.

At one time, there were many contradictions between urban development and the protection of ancient buildings. However, a lot of things are gone when they are dismantled. In some places, old buildings were demolished and new cloned works were built. However, no matter how new it is, it is also fake.

History is ruthless, and it won't give you a chance to correct your mistakes.

Many people of insight have devoted their lives to the protection of ancient buildings.

Mr. Liang Sicheng and Mr. Lin, they work hard and speak loudly.

Mr. Feng Jicai has spent most of his life doing something to protect ancient buildings and cultural heritage.

Their names are admirable.

Their achievements will be remembered by future generations.

Historical buildings are an aspect of historical and cultural records. It is valuable information and indispensable demonstration for architectural style, design, materials, artistic conception and mechanical science application. It is also a microcosm of human folk customs, residence, living environment, living conditions, social and political culture, regions and divisions in the historical era. Therefore, it also has important archaeological value and historical value. This is an excellent testimony and persuasion for studying the development and change, survival ability, invention and creation and wisdom of human society. (Song Fengzhou)

A controversial topic: why should we protect ancient buildings and traditional buildings? China is an ancient country with a vast territory, rich resources and a long history of architectural art. Different regions and nationalities have different architectural artistic styles, but their traditional buildings have the same characteristics in group layout, space, structure, building materials, decorative arts and so on, which are different from those in the west and are world-renowned.

There are many types of ancient buildings in China, including palaces, temples, pagodas, houses and garden buildings.

However, what is the fate of these ancient and traditional buildings in China? I have seen countless ancient buildings destroyed by war before, and I don't know how many essences of traditional buildings in China were destroyed in peacetime.

The famous architect once cried bitterly for several days because of the demolition of ancient buildings. Nowadays, with the development of modernization and the rapid development of cities, we have less and less land available. Many people once again turn their attention to those ancient buildings that occupy prime locations but cannot create much economic value. They nibbled away at the few ancient buildings and wantonly destroyed the foundation of the building, completely unaware of the true significance of protecting the ancient and traditional buildings in China.

Zhang Jinqiu is a student of Mr. Liang Sicheng, a famous architect in China, and also a famous architect today. On the protection of traditional buildings in China, she once said:

"I believe that the traditional architecture in China has witnessed the long history of our Chinese nation, engraved with suffering, struggle and glory. Traditional architecture in China is the crystallization of the wisdom of working people in China, which shows simplicity, elegance, agility and heroism. The traditional architecture in China is the foundation of our builders' cultural self-confidence. I have been engaged in architectural design for decades and have been drawing nutrition from it. From this, I realized that it is the responsibility of each of us in China to keep pace with the times and innovate constantly. Cherishing it means loving our ancestors. Appreciating it means appreciating wisdom and creativity, and inheriting it means continuing the cultural lifeline of our Chinese nation. ".

Now, with the development of society, more and more traditional buildings and ancient buildings have disappeared forever before our eyes. Protecting them is no longer the responsibility of any individual or group. As Zhang Jinqiu said, it is the business of all China people.

Historical buildings are often symbols of an era. Protecting some can not only be visited by future generations, but also be used by scientists to study ancient and modern cultures and so on.
