Not long ago, we learned the lesson of "burning Yuanmingyuan" and caused a strong debate about whether Yuanmingyuan should be rebuilt. My point of view is that it is necessary to rebuild Yuanmingyuan on the basis of scientific archaeological excavation, whether from the perspective of remembering history, not forgetting national humiliation, educating future generations, or from the perspective of re-displaying the style of royal gardens, developing tourism resources and developing economy.
First of all, Yuanmingyuan is a world-famous royal forest garden, which was once known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". Today, despite the devastation, the Yuanmingyuan site silently reveals the crimes committed by Eight-Nation Alliance 100 years ago, alerting generations of China people and attracting people from all over the world. It is expected that the ruins will be excavated, the Yuanmingyuan will be restored and the royal garden style will be restored.
Secondly, according to a survey of about 3,000 tourists by the cultural relics department, most people support the construction of Yuanmingyuan and are willing to do their part.
Third, experts and scholars from National Cultural Heritage Administration and Beijing have held many seminars to study the plans and measures for the excavation, protection and restoration of Yuanmingyuan. Restoration has been put on the agenda, but opinions are slightly divided. Whether to completely restore the original appearance or partially restore the representative buildings needs to be unified.
Fourthly, the poem of Hugo, a famous French poet, wrote: "There is a great miracle of mankind in a certain corner of the world/this miracle is that everything imaginable by the Yuanmingyuan/a nation close to superman is gathered here/the passage of time will make everything belong to all mankind." Such an unparalleled royal garden, a combination of Chinese and western garden architecture and a treasure house of oriental culture and art, should it be left in ruins forever? Thousands of years of hatred cannot go with the wind. The Royal Museum has a glorious history of thousands of years, and has gathered the essence of countless world scenic spots and famous gardens, which should be rediscovered.
Fifth, after the terrorist attacks in new york, Mayor new york announced that the World Trade Center would be rebuilt, and said: No one is allowed to change the outline of new york. So do we allow others to change the contours of China and Beijing? The answer is: "Never allow it!" . I think rebuilding Yuanmingyuan is a "heart disease" for many people in China, but our national strength can't let us realize this "dream" at present. However, the reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan should be gradually restored on the basis of unified planning from now on.
Sixth, the restoration of Yuanmingyuan is really a symbol of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which can comfort China's ancestors in the world. Now we can wash away the shame of the Chinese nation, lift its head, and then we can clearly mark the history and educate future generations. If we can only leave the present site to educate future generations, it is only a helpless and powerless refusal, or an excuse.
Seventh, the country is ruined and the garden is prosperous. Now our country's comprehensive national strength has improved significantly, science and technology are relatively developed, and the conditions for rebuilding Yuanmingyuan are more and more available. Of course, all people in China, even those who love peace and garden art all over the world, need to work together. I hope that the Royal Garden and the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens will reappear in our generation. Who doesn't want to see the Yuanmingyuan, which is more splendid than Versailles in France and Buckingham Palace in England?
