Changsha: Who Moved the Immovable Cultural Relics

Ju Fujing, an “immovable cultural relic” with hundreds of years of history, and an ancient well in Changsha, was recently dismantled.

On January 31, 2011, the location of Jufu Well, the east arch block of Furong District, Changsha City, was hit by 5.639.93 million yuan by Bangkang Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Wharf Group. Since then, Fortune’s fate has attracted the attention of all sectors of society. Changsha citizens and cultural and historical experts have called the relevant authorities to request protection of Jufujing. A number of media in Hunan issued successive reports and called for relevant departments to strengthen the protection of ancient buildings in Changsha.

However, Jufujing was eventually dismantled after experiencing the game of all parties for nearly a year.

The listed building was demolished. In May 2011, Wu Dekun, a 78-year-old citizen from Changsha, moved from East Fishpond Street in the Dongpailou section of Furong District where he lived forever. Lao Wu said that with the advancement of the shanty town reconstruction project in Furong District, everything that was familiar to them was gone and replaced by a large-scale construction pit tens of meters deep. According to media reports, Changsha International Finance Center will soon be completed in this area. It consists of three ultra-high-rise buildings and a high-end shopping and entertainment center with an area of ​​over 250,000 square meters. The tallest tower is 452 meters high and it will be the first in Hunan after completion. High-rise, Changsha's new landmark.

The existence of Jufujing is accompanied by changes in the lives of several generations of the old Wu family. Lao Wu recalls that when he was a child, people flocked to Jufujing every day to fetch water. According to Chen Xianshu, a librarian of the Hunan Provincial History and History Center, the construction of Jufujing was not yet possible. However, it was originally located in the garden of the Ming Ji House, and was used by the Wangfu. The name of Jufujing was also derived from the “Jifujing”. Afterwards, Ju Fukui was destroyed in the Wenxi blaze. The surrounding neighborhood spontaneously organized donation of money for repairs. After the restoration, the original two-eyed wells were changed into four-eye wells and the inscriptions were preserved. On September 9, 2002, Jufujing was listed as a "modern and contemporary protected building" in Changsha.

Chen Xianshu said: “In recent years, there are more than a dozen old buildings with historical and cultural values ​​that have disappeared in Changsha, including the Fulu Palace at Pozi Street, the Well of Fuxing Bridge, the Memorial Hall of Zhongshan at the Education Street, and the left of Caibei Road. Zongxi Mansion, Zuo Xueqian Mansion in Fuyuan Lane, and Suining Trial Pavilion in Wangyu Garden."

“There are also many old streets that disappeared at the same time, such as hamumalou, ganziyuan, Houhoujie, Beizhengjie, Yingpanjie, etc., leaving only the names of names for future generations to pay for.” Chen Xianshu said, “There are still some concentrated displays of the Changsha tradition. The economic and cultural streets, old and new buildings on both sides of the street are superimposed, and illegal buildings have been built repeatedly, and the overall layout and architectural style of Laojie have been broken.Other buildings reflecting the life of the old city, social customs and culture and art, such as the pavilions The vast majority of the people in the old town, including the temples, wells, wells, Buddhist temples, and Ma Shi Street, have not been preserved. The characteristics of the humanities in the old city are gradually disappearing.”

In 2004, the Changsha Municipal Government held a special conference on the protection of historical and cultural streets and historical old houses. It was clear that 11 streets, such as Chaozong Street, were historical protected cultural streets and alleys in Changsha, and 23 old houses such as the Suzhou Hall were protected as historic houses. , and make it clear that these streets and lanes and old houses can be repaired or rehabilitated according to the principle of “renovating as old”, and no unit or individual may dismantle it without authorization. "However, only a few years later, among the 11 historical and cultural streets, there are Dagu Road, Xiaogu Road, and Mopan Bay - South Downs - one step and two bridges. Three old streets were demolished; 23 historical houses were protected. Among them, the Suzhou Guild Hall and the Hong Kee Bank will also be completely demolished. The old streets and lanes and old buildings protected by the government will eventually be demolished," said Chen Xianshu.

How many "old homes" are left unprotected?

Chen Xianshu said: “The guerrilla Ping 4 Mansion was demolished after it was listed as a cultural relic 3 months ago.” It was once built at the 4th guerrilla plaza at Jiefangxi Road, Furong District, Changsha City. It was originally a Qinggu guerrilla agency. The Ministry, who was also the general manager of the Xinhai ** Warlord General Cai Yong, was designated as the official residence of the Zhuhai Mansion of the Changsha Post Office during the War of Resistance Against Japan. The homeowner is the head of the Changsha postal department. The mansion covers an area of ​​150 square meters, a total of two floors, construction area of ​​about 160 square meters. In September 2009, Changsha City started the implementation of the reconstruction project of the Dongpai Shelter and became the first project in Changsha to implement the government levy. The guerrilla Ping 4 Mansion is within the project. On June 9, 2010, the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics announced that it was an immovable cultural relic. In August and September of 2010, the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics and the Furong District Culture and Sports Bureau repeatedly negotiated with the headquarters of the local shanty relocation headquarters and clearly stated the significance of the cultural relics site, such as the guerrilla plaza No. 4 Mansion, and asked them not to be dismantled temporarily. However, on the eve of the 2010 National Day, the old building was demolished.

Similar to the destiny of being dismantled, some of the old people's pavilions that have been determined to focus on protection are also struggling in “no protection”. According to Liu Su, a professor at the School of Architecture of Hunan University, only 10 of the 23 key protected historic houses identified by the municipal government in 2004 were repaired. Others were in dire danger due to lack of maintenance.

On June 8, 2010, the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics announced the third national survey of cultural relics. As of April 30, 2010, the fieldwork investigation of the third national cultural relics census field in Changsha City had been completed. There were 2543 sites of cultural relics of various types. Among them, there were newly discovered cultural relics sites in 1995 and 548 cultural relics sites. The categories covered the ancient Relics, ancient tombs, ancient buildings, stone carvings, important historical and modern historical sites, and representative buildings. At the same time, it also announced that 313 newly discovered cultural relics sites in Changsha City were generally immovable cultural relics.

So, how many old buildings are there in Changsha? According to information provided by the Changsha Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, as of June 30, 2010, a total of 409 immovable cultural relics were registered in the urban area of ​​Changsha City, and only 250 newly discovered modern historical sites and representative buildings were reached, of which important historical sites and representativeness were. There are 52 buildings.

In order to protect these "hometowns," Changsha City announced in May 2011 the "Plan for the Protection of Historical and Cultural Cities in Metropolitan Areas" and the "Plan for the Protection of Famous Villages in Famous Historical and Cultural Cities", and "Delimitation" to protect Changsha's history and culture. City resources. Although most historical streets and public buildings in Changsha are within the scope of “delimitation” protection, the fate of many old mansion houses is still full of variables. Chen Xianshu said: "Changsha City Cultural Relics Bureau has divided Changsha's old mansion into six public halls. Among them, Tongrenli Mansion, Xiyuan Beili Mansions and Tangjiawan Mansions all undergo changes in the old city because of their region. The fate is full of variables. ”

Who erased the memory of Changsha?

It has been several months since the release of Jufujing, a “modern and contemporary protected building” listed and protected by the Changsha Municipal Government, but the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Heritage of China’s Changsha Municipality, Cao Yu, has said that it has not received reports of the situation. Changshan Furong District Culture and Sports Bureau Director Cheng Liang’s visit said: “The relevant authorities did not notify the cultural relics management department when dismantling Jufujing. After the destruction of Jufujing, the cultural relics department took rescue measures and collected some construction materials. The land has been reconstructed, but there is no specific plan for it yet.” Cheng Liang’s visit to Tanzania has revealed that the relevant parties in Furong District were at fault when dismantling Jufu Well.

Previously, in the post-investigation investigation and handling decision on the detachment of No. 4 Mansion, the detachment of the guerrilla Ping 4 was found to have been punished by the demolition company as “not fully comprehending the intention of the headquarters” and punished by RMB 500,000. The fact that the shed reform company was fined 500,000 yuan also caused hot debates among Changsha citizens and netizens.

In accordance with the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics," unauthorized removal, removal of unmovable cultural relics, unauthorized repair of immovable cultural relics, and apparent alteration of the original state of the cultural relics; unauthorized reconstruction of all damaged immovable cultural relics on the original site, resulting in destruction of cultural relics; If the constructor fails to obtain the qualification certificate of cultural relic protection project and engages in the repair, relocation and reconstruction of cultural relics without authorization, it shall be ordered by the administrative department of cultural relics of the people's government at or above the county level to make corrections if it does not constitute a crime. Fines of less than 500,000 yuan; if the circumstances are serious, the original issuing authority shall revoke the qualification certificate.

According to an official of the Hunan Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics, in the face of the huge profit margins for urban development, the penalty provisions in the aforementioned laws appear to be insufficient deterrence. “The maximum fine imposed in the cultural relics law is 500,000 yuan, which is the amount of punishment imposed on the responsibility of the affiliated incident unit of No. 4 Gong Pun Ping of Changsha. However, compared to the amount of land auctioned for billions of dollars in Dongpailou, the 500,000 yuan What about Yuan?
