What are the problems of repair and protection of ancient buildings

Abstract: Ancient architectural artifacts figuratively and intuitively reflect people's lives in the past, reflecting the level of science and culture at that time. From some ancient buildings, a better understanding of the past living environment, grasp the development of historical and cultural lineage. After thousands of years of wind and rain, ancient buildings and cultural relics have suffered varying degrees of damage and destruction, repair and protection of ancient buildings is very important and urgent, but the protection of ancient architecture there are still some problems, such as protection of a weak awareness, protection methods need to be improved, the integrity of the destruction, etc., the following together to learn more about it. First, the significance of China's ancient building repair

We protect the ancient architecture, mainly to protect its heritage value, that is, to protect its historical, scientific and artistic value. These values are embodied through the existing ancient architectural entities. Therefore, the fundamental protection of ancient architecture is to protect the existing ancient architectural entity, specifically, is to protect the building's form, structural method, component texture and production technology. Any one of the ancient architecture after the destruction is impossible to rebuild, its heritage value will disappear.

At present, in the maintenance of ancient buildings often have a heritage value of its lack of understanding, there is often an arbitrary replacement of components, painting a new, and even change the original shape of the building, the structure of the phenomenon occurs, resulting in the destruction of cultural relics, this damage is called protective damage.

The reason for this is as follows:

1, the heritage buildings and modern buildings are equal to view that since the repair should be thoroughly repair, in order to new and once and for all, and thus a big deal, a big change in components. This phenomenon is most likely to occur in religion, tourism, gardening and other non-heritage departments to use the ancient building repair; sometimes the local administrative leaders lack of heritage awareness and unreasonable intervention caused by.

2, that the construction of ancient buildings, the earlier the value of the building, and therefore in the repair of the building's shape, structure, materials and production processes are often artificially unified to the beginning of the age of the situation, resulting in the destruction of the ancient buildings after the repair. In fact, this "the earlier the more valuable" understanding of the value of ancient buildings is completely misunderstood. A by more than one era of restoration of part of the cultural heritage value, just the importance of the degree of difference only.

3, the new materials, new technologies, the superstition, the abuse of new materials, new technologies.

4, repair design with modern aesthetics to see the ancient buildings, the original building style and unreasonable structural changes. These points are summarized, is the lack of a comprehensive understanding of the value of cultural relics of ancient buildings. There is also a lack of knowledge due to the relevant personnel, improper protection caused by the example of Taiwan to build some protective buildings, thus changing the original environment of the ancient buildings, resulting in the weathering of cultural relics, corrosion and other damage; in the ancient buildings around the planting of trees, grass and other environmental greening may also cause similar phenomena.

We repair ancient buildings, protection, we should remember: we protect not only the ancient buildings themselves, more importantly, through this entity embodied in the value of cultural relics. Once this entity has been destroyed, it has the value of cultural relics also disappeared, and it is impossible to reproduce.

Second, what are the problems of repair and protection of ancient buildings

1, the protection of weak awareness

People's awareness of protection is weak in the protection of ancient buildings and cultural relics encountered in the salient problems. Mainly reflected in: on the one hand, the people of ancient buildings and cultural relics protection initiatives appear to be relatively indifferent. On the other hand, the people of ancient architecture and cultural relics of man-made destruction phenomenon is increasing. In recent years, tourism and real estate industry has risen rapidly, attracting the attention of investors and consumers. Driven by unlimited business opportunities and economic interests, some developers, operators, ordinary people, and even government staff wantonly damage or renovate ancient buildings, in order to immediate benefits and damage or even destroy the ancient architectural heritage.

2, protection methods need to be improved

With the passage of time, some of the streets, buildings, landscape in the old city in urgent need of renovation, which is inevitable. For the present, usually using advanced science and technology, these streets, buildings, landscape repair. However, many of these methods run counter to the "keep the old as old" approach. In the process of restoration and conservation, we have to preserve as far as possible some of the traces of the predecessors, not just the external appearance. Ensure the integrity of ancient architectural relics, so that the city's history and culture can be effectively continued and developed.

3, the integrity of the destruction

After hundreds of years, some cities have formed a more complex social and human environment. This is a very meaningful thing for the development of a city. But along with the large-scale renovation of the old city, the social and humanistic environment has been damaged because of man-made reasons, losing the original flavor. In this long process, ancient buildings and cultural relics and the surrounding environment gradually integrated, presenting a meaningful "place". And these, all in the large-scale transformation of the old city disappeared.

4, restoration techniques and methods of unscientific

In the restoration techniques rely too much on modern scientific and technological products, making it difficult to fully demonstrate the historical appearance of ancient buildings and cultural relics. Even some restoration activities are just doing surface engineering, heavy appearance of repair and light internal repair. In this restoration environment, the historical information of ancient architectural relics is also easy to be artificially deleted, resulting in irreparable losses.
