Towers are often an important part of a city's landmark. According to incomplete statistics, there are about more than 200 towers in Beijing. Towering into the clouds and standing tall, the towers not only protect the safety of the people, but also carry the culture and memory of the city. Tonight, produced by Beijing Radio and Television Station, jointly produced by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics and the Beijing Beijing Enterprise Central Axis Protection Public Welfare Association, the chief strategic partner Huaxia Bank, the special sponsor Jingneng Group, and the special support BBMG Group, the eighth issue of the large-scale cultural original reality show "The Most Beautiful Central Axis" will be themed "Tower" to explore the cultural heritage that accompanies the central axis of Beijing, and feel the development and changes of the capital Beijing. In the program, Hu Yanbin, Yuan Yawei, and Ren Hao will form this issue of the "Pickup Group" to climb the tower and look far away, what kind of creative inspiration will they burst out? What kind of charm will this theme song with "tower" as the element show?
The Olympic Tower overlooks the central axis.
Unlock the best view of the White Tower.
The Beijing Olympic Tower is located on the northern extension of Beijing's central axis, and is known as the "Tree of Life" against the backdrop of clear water and blue sky. At the top of the tower stands the symbol of the Olympic rings, symbolizing the Olympic spirit and the glorious history of Beijing's "Double Olympic City".
Ascending to the top of the New Year, the first stop of this issue of "Pickup Group" is the Olympic Tower. Li Jianping, honorary president of the Beijing History Research Association, interpreted the connotation of the word "tower" in simple terms, and asked questions to test everyone. The "pick-up group" answered the map one by one about the towers on both sides of the central axis of Beijing, and was surprised to find that most of the towers were located on the west side of the central axis. Why is there a phenomenon of "no towers in the east city and five towers in the west city"? Why is the Olympic Tower located on the east side of Beijing's central axis? Tonight's show reveals the answer!
Next, the "pickup group" and his party went to Taerka to unlock the best view of the white pagoda of Miaoying Temple. Li Jianping told the story of the close relationship between the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple and the central axis of Beijing. Originally, the white pagoda of Miaoying Temple was built at the same time as the central axis of Beijing, which is not only a tower built to protect the central axis of Beijing and the city of Beijing, but also a tower that has witnessed the changes and development of the central axis of Beijing for more than 700 years. The white pagoda of Miaoying Temple and the central axis of Beijing can be called the soul and backbone of Beijing, and contain the profound cultural heritage of the Chinese nation.
The ancient pagoda bears witness to the coming and going of the past and the present.
The echoes of history echo on the central axis.
The white pagoda of Miaoying Temple has not only witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, but also witnessed the fireworks of the people of Limin, which has become an indispensable part of people's lives. The "pick-up group" soldiers are divided into two roads, checking in the lively Qianjiaoshou Hutong and Dongjiadao Hutong, taking pictures with the Hutong and the White Pagoda as the background, and finally meeting at the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple. Among the previous repairs to the White Pagoda of Myoo Temple, the most noteworthy is the renovation in 1978, when people accidentally discovered the treasure of the tower and the manuscript of Luo Jun.
This episode also depicts a conversation between Luo Jun and Xu Guanying. At that time, the war was raging, and the literati Luo Jun climbed the tower to reminisce about the past and the present, and was full of emotion, and decided to join the 29th Army to fight against Japan with Xu Guanying, but was stopped by the other party. Luo Jun revealed his heart: "I can't watch you brothers and compatriots fighting in the prison of war, but I myself am tinkering in the ivory tower. Xu Guanying's sentence "This is not an ivory tower, this is the backbone of Beijing, and it is the lifeline of Beijing" made him finally sober up. "Tayou culture, God bless China", the generous statements of the two under the white tower moved everyone present.
After leaving the White Pagoda, the "Pickup Troupe" went to another tower that has a lot of fate with the central axis - Tianning Temple Pagoda. Tianning Temple Pagoda is located on the west side of the central axis of Jinzhongdu, the first central axis in Beijing's history, and has a history of 905 years. In the thirties of the last century, when the tower did not have a clear date, everyone mistakenly thought that it was built in the Sui Dynasty. Mr. Liang Sicheng and Mr. Lin Huiyin adhered to a rigorous academic attitude, and judged that it was a building of the Liao Dynasty through the plane layout and architectural form of the tower. Liang Sicheng also wrote the rhythm according to the bottom-up level and proportion of the Tianning Temple Tower. How will this rhythm inspire the "pick-up group"? How will they compose the profound meaning of "tower" in the theme song? At 20:20 today, lock in Beijing Satellite TV's "The Most Beautiful Central Axis", climb the tower and overlook it together, listen to the voice of history, and respond to the call of civilization.
