Circumvent the Forbidden City three times, do not enter, and the meaning is far-reaching.
Stopping here, I chose to stay. "On May 17, 1954, accompanied by the Minister of Public Security, his eyes fell affectionately on the walls of the Forbidden City.
His heart seemed to hide endless emotion. Sensing the gaze of ***, the entourage, a person in charge of the new cultural relics exhibition of the Forbidden City, wasted no time in proposing:"Chairman, the Forbidden City has recently added new exhibits, maybe you will be interested, do you want to go in for a **?"
With a slight wave of his hand, he declined the invitation to enter, wandering the walls of the Forbidden City, carefully observing every key area, but never really stepping through the gate.
In the following days, his footprints set foot in the Forbidden City twice, but no matter how persuaded by others, his determination to stick to it never wavered. To solve this mystery, it is necessary to explore the unique bond between the hidden *** and the Forbidden City.
In August 1919, the blazing flames of the New Culture Movement spread across the country, and the young people in Changsha were deeply influenced by it, and with their enthusiasm for knowledge, they resolutely embarked on the journey to the north, taking the institution of higher learning as a temple to explore the truth.
With Li Weihan, Luo Zhanglong, Luo Xuezan and other fellow villagers, they chose"Go to France for work-study"It was only for the thirst for knowledge and practical considerations that they took a temporary refuge in the guild hall.
Arriving in Beijing, ** was fortunate to be a guest of Yang Changji's mansion and shared life with the old guards of the Yang family. The next day, Mr. Yang Changji was affectionately entertained, and his pearl Yang Kaihui led this new ** to appreciate the cultural landscape of the capital and taste the unique food outside Hunan"A trip to Beijing"Therefore, it is full of sweet academic and human touch.
On Gulou Street, Yang Kaihui and *** walked side by side, and in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, they exchanged subtle glances, needless to say, the two hearts have quietly blended. Through the prosperity of Di'anmen, they arrived hand in hand at the Jinshui River, and the majesty of the Forbidden City on the other side made *** fall into reverie:"In the huge Forbidden City, the emperor lives alone, won't he feel lonely?"
He pondered"The poor people of the capital have nowhere to live and can only sleep on the streets, why can a deceased monarch enjoy such a luxurious residence?"The sun poured on the surface of the Jinshui River, and Yang Kaihui recalled the suffering of the people in the capital, and his chest was full of injustice.
** Gazing at Yang Kaihui affectionately, he whispered: "Our mission is important, to let the people of the world share food and clothing, live and work in peace and contentment." Looking at the Forbidden City from afar, people can't help but think about it, Yang Kaihui muttered in a low voice.
That day, they laughed and talked by the Jinshui River until dusk, and *** had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, thinking about the blueprint for the future of the country. Soon after, the list of Beiyang ** study abroad was announced, and many Hunan villagers were selected, but he resolutely chose to stay instead of going to France.
In December 1919, ** arrived in Beijing again, shouldering the task of uniting Hunan compatriots to resist Zhang Jingyao. Field trips to workers' areas gave him a deeper understanding of the Chinese revolution and society.
Although he lives in Fuyou Temple, a stone's throw away from the Forbidden City, he pays more attention to the lives of the people at the bottom. At that time, as a young student, his yearning for the Forbidden City was far less touching than that of the toiling masses at the bottom.
At that time, the Forbidden City was still in residence and was not open to the public, and it was difficult for ordinary people to get a glimpse of it. However, ** did not expect that when he stepped into Beijing again, China had undergone great changes.
In 1949, the Northeast Field Army led by ** and other generals was unstoppable and reached the capital, but under the city of Beiping, they quietly stopped. The story behind this can be traced back to 1925, when Feng Yuxiang expelled the last emperor Pu Yi from the Forbidden City with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and this ancient place has since opened a new chapter.
The Forbidden City, the former royal treasure house, is now incarnated as the world-renowned "Palace Museum", and its first director, Yi Peiji, is the best teacher. ** Knowing that the historical treasures treasured by the Forbidden City are invaluable, so when the People's Liberation Army is about to conquer Beiping at lightning speed, he and the ** Military Commission decisively called for a halt, this respect and protection of cultural heritage, demonstrating the foresight and wisdom of decision-makers.
In ancient Beiping, we tried to persuade Fu Zuoyi to surrender through peaceful means, because avoiding war is of paramount importance to the whole nation. In the strategically important Xibaipo, ** stared at the battle report passed down step by step, and the cigarette in his hand rose, symbolizing our determination and deep thought.
He made it clear that the Communists advanced"Pingjin"It is like going to a historic test of how we can win the hearts and minds of the people and cherish our cultural heritage. Despite the fact that the enemy army claims to be in the hundreds of thousands, the encirclement is so airtight that it is only a matter of time before it is breached.
At first, our side actively sent envoys to convey the wishes of *** and ***, but Fu Zuoyi still failed to wake up and stick to the city.
In order to protect Beiping and put pressure on Fu Zuoyi, our army decided to attack Tianjin first, and the target was Chen Changjie's garrison. In the face of the enemy's contemptuous laughter, the Northeast Field Army, under the command of the ** Military Commission, took Tianjin in less than 30 hours, shattering Fu Zuoyi's dream of stubborn resistance.
On January 31, 1949, Fu withdrew from Beiping, and the peaceful reorganization followed, ending the three-month Pingjin Campaign, and Beiping returned to the embrace of the people. Next, how will our generals deal with the complicated affairs of this ancient city, especially the Forbidden City?
Special Strategies"Cultural relics preservation"It has long been on the agenda. ** Before the liberation, the Military Commission paid attention to the protection of the Forbidden City, and specially discussed and formulated a detailed action plan.
In mid-January, after the negotiations were successfully concluded, the fighters had a detailed map of Beiping, marking universities, monuments and living facilities to ensure that the operation proceeded in an orderly manner.
However, in the early days of entering the city, the Kuomintang's long-term dereliction of duty led to the poor environment in Beiping, with garbage everywhere, and even cultural relics and historic sites were shrouded in a foul smell, and they had to cover their noses to deal with it during the march.
With the strong support of the city, the first mayor of Beiping, General Xu, issued a majestic "cleaning" order to the people of the city. In an instant, the whole people responded and put into action.
**I even visited the surroundings of the Forbidden City in person to demonstrate with practical actions. He emphasized: "The Forbidden City is a cultural treasure of the country, and every brick and tile is incomparably precious, so we must be cautious when cleaning it. ”
Holding a telescope to examine the details of the red wall, he told the soldiers beside him. However, it is not an easy task to carry out such a delicate "cleansing" for the Forbidden City. They decided to gather the people and soldiers of Beiping City to participate in this grand cleaning project.
In order to improve efficiency, the managers have carefully divided into three working groups to protect this historical legacy.
The Forbidden City's environmental protection guards are divided into three steps: the first step, the hard-working team meticulously cleans, the second step, the professional force to solve the stubborn garbage, and the third step, the use of various means of transport (such as pushes, three-wheelers and rickshaws) to work together to create a cleaning miracle of 250,000 cubic meters.
After the garbage was emptied, the Beiping Military Management Committee quickly gathered the national elite for the protection of ancient buildings to discuss the protection plan of the Forbidden City. Following the wisdom of the experts, a campaign against the Forbidden City"Ambitious restoration project"Unfold in full swing.
Derived from the profound cultural heritage and historical accumulation, the protection of the Forbidden City cannot be delayed. Since the establishment of the capital in Beijing, the Forbidden City was immediately given special attention, and between 1949 and 1951, New China devoted itself to"Special funds"This historical treasure is cared for and rigorously repaired and managed.
At the same time, archaeological operations around the Forbidden City are in full swing, striving to reveal more precious historical traces. With the liberation of the mainland, the Forbidden City architecture was revitalized.
Restore the past"The Palace Museum"The glory has become the common aspiration of the whole people.
In 1954, ** visited the Forbidden City to explore the historical heritage, and his actions were low-key and close to the people. With only the *** minister and the Forbidden City guard Han Shanwen, their footprints started from the Shenwu Gate, slowly marched along the city wall, from east to west, and then south to the vicinity of the Donghua Gate.
At this historical moment, **, as a leader, actually sat on the ground on the city wall, smiling and inviting everyone to share his oranges, the cordiality and easy-going are unforgettable.
Han Shanwen, do you want to walk through the Forbidden City together later? "He took the orange in ***'s hand and proposed. However, ** politely declined his invitation and instead focused on the details of the internal operations of the Forbidden City.
Han Shanwen followed the topic and began to introduce the internal management system of the Forbidden City to ***. After understanding the configuration of each department, the further concern is the cultural literacy of employees.
Obviously, he is well aware of the importance of the cultural knowledge of the staff of the Forbidden City to the protection of cultural relics, and any small mistake can lead to irreparable damage.
Han Shanwen got up suddenly, and proposed to *** with deep eyes:"Chairman, the new discoveries of the Forbidden City are waiting for your appreciation, and a number of precious cultural relics are now on display at the noon gate, what do you think? "
Knowing that there was no need to go deeper, the Chair readily agreed. A group of people walked to explore, arrived at the Wumen City Tower, and was in front of them"New exhibition of cultural relics construction"The pomp and circumstance. The chairman was so engrossed in each exhibit that the trip to the Forbidden City took a full three hours.
As the sun sets, the guards help him, but the chairman's love for history remains undiminished, and the next day, he enters the Forbidden City in search of endless cultural treasures.
Remember the last unfinished lunchtime exhibition? Let's make our first stop there. ** Premeditated, the enthusiasm for exploring history jumped on the page.
Walking into the Wumen Exhibition Hall, his eyes were deeply attracted, and his colleagues silently accompanied him, as he explored each booth one by one. The Chairman sighed'History, right here!
That deep emotion is moving. "
The exhibition at the Wumen Tower transcends the boundaries of time and space, showcasing not only the treasures of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but also the prehistoric wonders waiting to be explored. Especially those that are revealed"Peking Man"The mysterious fossils deeply attracted the chairman's attention and aroused his deep interest.
Standing in front of the display case, he excitedly pointed out like a child: "Look, these are the teeth of the ancients!" At this time, he was not only a head of state, but also an explorer with a love for history.
The little soldier beside him was infected by the chairman's enthusiasm and lost no time in proposing: "Chairman, can we go deep into the Forbidden City and continue this historical and cultural journey?" ”
When the Forbidden City was mentioned, **'s expression was instantly solemn. He firmly rejected the little soldier's proposal, and resolutely stated that he would never set foot in the Forbidden City for half a step"We came to visit and leave after seeing the exhibition. "
On May 20th, ** and his entourage visited the Forbidden City for the third time, and like the previous time, he chose to go to the city to look far away and immerse himself in the ancient buildings. Their travels are almost the same as the route of their first visit, starting from Shenwu Gate, ** the pace is vigorous, bathed in the wind, and their clothes are dancing in the sun.
Arriving at the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, he greeted his entourage, sat on the ground, and made a warm suggestion:"The scenery is stunning, so why don't we make some precious memories? "
On the sun-drenched city wall, **'s smile was warm and kind, and everyone couldn't wait to try it when they heard the proposal to take pictures.
In the northwest corner of the Forbidden City, a piece of history is frozen, and the smile of ** is as warm as a spring breeze. Here, you can see the beautiful scenery - you can see the majestic scenery of the mountain in the north, and you can overlook the daily life of Aoyushu Bridge and Zhongnanhai in the west.
The chairman stared into the distance, and the outlines of the Fuyou Temple, the Thunder Temple, and the Rain Temple were all in his deep eyes, as if they evoked dusty memories. On that day, the weather was fine, and he let go of his childlike innocence, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, immersed in the magnificent scenery of the Forbidden City, and did not reluctantly leave until seven o'clock in the evening.
However, his love for the Forbidden City has not exceeded the norm, and he has always maintained that respect, never stepping into the palace walls.
**The reason behind the fact that he lived in the Forbidden City was extremely pure: he knew that he was the leader of the people, and as an important founder of New China, he did not want to be misinterpreted as being involved in feudal traditions because of his personal involvement in the Forbidden City.
The Forbidden City, a witness to this history, bears the bloody and tearful memories of the rise and fall of too many dynasties, and its luxurious exterior and interior furnishings cannot change its unique status as a symbol of imperial power.
**'s decision did not stem from his rejection of history and culture, on the contrary, his love for the people transcended the pursuit of material history.
As a connoisseur of history, his collection is rich and precious. Among the calligraphy and painting seals presented by overseas friends, there is the "Double Crane Rui Dance Fu" by Wang Fuzhi, a master in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
Although he loved this artwork, he did not hesitate to transform his personal collection into a public treasure with a high sense of responsibility as a national leader, reflecting his selfless spirit and deep friendship for the country.
In December 1952, Qian Dongbi, a close friend of **, presented him with a painting of "The Thirteen Treks of the Orchid Pavilion", and did not hesitate to instruct the accompanying soldiers to escort him to the Palace Museum immediately.
In 1956, collector Zhang Boju had insight into the opportunity and knew his unique taste for poetry, especially his love for Li Bai, and he generously presented his masterpiece "Fu on the Balcony".
This treasure is written by Li Bai himself, and the years have passed for more than a thousand years. Despite the efforts of some to persuade the chairman to stay, he always adhered to his principles, and this rare treasure eventually became a valuable asset of the Palace Museum.
**'s aesthetic vision and literary and artistic feelings are not inferior to the literary giants of any ** period. However, the balance he upheld in his heart was always in favor of the country and the people.
In his eyes, personal gains and losses are insignificant, and the interests of the country and the people are always put first. He is consistent in his words and deeds, and always adheres to it"People come first"ideas.
As worthy of the name"Leader of the people"The great achievements of ** will be forever remembered and remembered by history and the people.
