Re: the 70 year old man in Hubei collects more than 3 thousand old bricks to build a museum.
"Yunxian is my hometown, all state is my second hometown." Wang Yongguo said that in the 60s of last century, the two dams built in Danjiangkou were not in the water. Subsequently, the city was transformed into Danjiangkou, Yunyang City evolved into Yunxian and later renamed Yunyang district. "Two ancient cities were flooded, but history was not flooded, culture still exists, bricks and tiles still exist." Wang Yongguo said that before the flooded city of Yunzhou city and Yunzhou City, some of the city walls were stripped down and become materials for new buildings. Later, these old bricks and tiles were no longer used as building materials, but were gradually demolished and abandoned.
Wang Yongguo said that these bricks were weighed several tens of kilograms, and their predecessors spent a lot of energy to make them. He looked at the pain. Five or six years ago, Wang Yongguo began to collect a lot of old bricks and bricks. He inquired about where he had removed old bricks, especially words or ornamentation, and he bought it back at the cost of a few tons of heavy cars, full of three or four cars.
a batch of Ming Dynasty "official brick" character brick, he hired overnight rain rescue, second days, developers began construction. Several times, bulldozers were in the construction site, and he came to buy a batch of old bricks and tiles. "If I don't save them, they will go to the bottom of my feet and become waste!"
3 million pieces of old bricks and tiles hope to have a home
more than 5000 Ming Hongwu years between the city wall bricks, more than 5000 Ming years Yunyang Fucheng wall tiles, by Wang Yongguo to find a piece of land. Including a large number of text bricks, for example, a batch of Ming Hongwu sixteen annual state wall text bricks, more than 100 pieces of "official brick" words of the Ming Dynasty for twelve years, Yunyang city wall tiles, seventy or eighty "ancient city" in the Qing Dynasty Yunyang city wall tiles and so on. In addition, he collected a lot of scattered folk ancient tiles, for example, a large number of palace tiles, the palace of the palace of the Ming Dynasty, the palace of the yuxu palace of the Ming Dynasty Wudang Mountains, the tiles of the tile tiles and the drip water of the dragon and Phoenix.
these scattered old bricks and tiles were collected and collated by Wang Yongguo, preparing for the construction of the "mean state city, Yunyang Fu City brick and tile Museum" on the right bank of Danjiangkou. At present, more than 3 pieces of objects are divided into four major exhibition areas. They are the theme pavilion, the state tile Museum, the Yunyang government character brick Museum and the yunyun city wall brick hall. Among them, the Wudang imperial decree Monument and the imperial monument in the Qing Dynasty were regarded as the treasure of the town hall by Wang Yongguo.
an important member of the Chinese city wall family,
Wang Yongguo, who worked for an enterprise, devoted to the study of state history and local culture for nearly 20 years.
through the collection of brick and concrete objects, Wang Yongguo found that the average brick size of the city is large, and the largest size is about 60 Jin. "This is not common in wall tiles of Ming City. The brick of all cities is the heaviest and largest volume of the walls in China."
read lots of local chronicles and documents, and Wang Yongguo knew the ancient city of Jun Zhou. He said that the ancient city of mean state was an important city in the middle and upper reaches of the Han River, and has experienced numerous wars and floods in the past six hundred years. And its strong walls are undoubtedly one of the reasons why it is known as the "iron hit state".
a large number of words of Yunyang City brick, silently tell the change of Yunyang city. Wang Yongguo said that Yunyang city once had only a wall of earth. It was made up for twelve years. The city of Yunyang was built on a large scale, and a large number of "official brick" bricks were built as wall tiles. These brick documents contain information about firing times, kiln names, supervisors, etc. In the past six years, the Qing Dynasty mended the Yunyang city wall and specially burned a number of ancient calligraphy bricks, of which the "ancient city" was considered to be the name of the ancient local country.
collecting old bricks and tiles, Wang Yongguo invested a lot of money, "both domestic and foreign debt owed", for which the elderly are not willing to talk more. He just appealed that China's Ming and Qing City Wall Joint Declaration of the world cultural heritage work is being carried out closely. At present, there are 6 provinces and 8 cities to join the declaration team, including the wall of Nanjing in Jiangsu, the wall of Xi'an in Shaanxi, the wall of Taizhou Fu in Zhejiang, and the wall of Jingzhou in Jingzhou, and the wall of Xiangyang. "The walls of Yunzhou city and Yunyang city have been submerged in the water, but they are also an important part of the Chinese wall. They must not be forgotten."
