About China Tiananmen Photography

From 1949, when New China made Beijing its capital, Tiananmen Square has long been the most dazzling city card in the capital Beijing and the most important symbol of the heart of the Republic in the eyes of both China and foreigners.

In China, more than ten Tiananmen Square were built in imitation of Beijing Tiananmen Square, including Tiananmen Square in Hengdian Film and Television Studio in Dongyang, Zhejiang, Tiananmen Square in Tongan Film and Television Studio in Xiamen, Fujian, Tiananmen Square in Wuzhangyuan, Qishan County, Shaanxi Province, Tiananmen Square in Yinchuan City, Ningxia, and Little Tiananmen Square in Wenyuan, Zhejiang Province.

I am ashamed to say that the real Tiananmen Square has not been visited on the spot for the time being. The first time I saw Tiananmen Square in my life, it was actually in Nanxun Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, more than 0/000 kilometers away from Beijing/KLOC.

Nanxun Town, one of the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River, is also the first world cultural heritage site among the six ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It is known as the "cover of the ancient towns in the south of the Yangtze River" because of its unique historical culture and architectural landscape that combines Chinese and western cultures.

Every year, countless Chinese and foreign tourists come to Nanxun, dreaming of their ideal scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Almost all travelers who have been to Nanxun will be pleasantly surprised and satisfied with this quiet water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

However, few people know that there is a magical garden in the magical Nanxun, and even more amazing is that there is a small Tiananmen Square hidden in the garden. Moreover, among all the shanzhai "Tiananmen Square" in China, only it has the closest connection with Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

Although the Little Tiananmen Square in Wenyuan Nanxun is modeled after Tiananmen Square in Beijing, it also has a certain scale. There are Jinshui River, Jinshui Pavilion, a pair of China watches and Shishi City in front of the city gate, and the overall style is dignified.

The whole building of Little Tiananmen Square, the gatehouse, is modeled after the original appearance of Beijing Tiananmen Square in the period of 1949+00+ 1 founding ceremony. There is a white banner hanging in the middle of the eaves, which reads "Establishment Ceremony of the Central People's Government of People's Republic of China (PRC)".

There are five arches on the wall, the largest of which is in the middle. The gatehouse rests on the top of the mountain, with double eaves, covered with yellow tiles, red walls and columns, cloister windows, carved beams and painted buildings, and cornices upturned, which is extremely elegant and magnificent.

On the left and right sides of the wall of Little Tiananmen Square, the slogans are "Long live People's Republic of China (PRC)" and "Long live the Central People's Government" respectively. Although they are slightly different from the slogans hanging in Tiananmen Square, they bear the common aspiration of 400 million people when New China was just founded.

The closest connection between Little Tiananmen Square and Tiananmen Square in Beijing lies in the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on the wall. This portrait is not comparable to the general portrait of Chairman Mao, but it is of great significance and has witnessed a great history.

Because this portrait of Chairman Mao was made in Nanxun in May 2004 by Professor Zhou of the former Central Academy of Fine Arts and Professor Chen Ruoju of the former Central Academy of Arts and Crafts, and it was specially drawn.

What is even more precious is that the portrait of Chairman Mao in front of us in Little Square is the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on the Beijing Gate at the time of 1949 10 1 founding ceremony. The portrait writers at that time were Zhou and Chen Ruoju.

From this point of view, although the building of Little Tiananmen Square can't escape the suspicion of "shanzhai", the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on the rostrum is really authentic and commendable!

According to Mr. Zhou, the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on the gate in June 1949 10 was drawn by the couple according to the photos taken by the old photographer in Yan 'an.

In the photo, Chairman Mao wears a gray cloth uniform and smiles, which shows his confidence in the victory of the revolution and his closeness to the people. At that time, he had just turned thirty, and his wife, Ms. Chen Ruoju, was only twenty-two. Together, they drew the first portrait of Chairman Mao in Tiananmen Square.

Mr. Zhou also said that when they attended founding ceremony together, they saw and heard Chairman Mao solemnly declare in China's strong voice that "People's Republic of China (PRC) was founded and the people of China stood up". At that moment, they felt extremely proud with countless people. Everyone cheered loudly and was moved to tears.

More than 50 years later, when Nanxun Scenic Area decided to build a Little Square and invited the couple to paint a portrait of Chairman Mao again, although they were octogenarians (Zhou was 85 years old and Chen Ruoju was 77 years old), they accepted the invitation and painted this portrait for Chairman Mao again, which they will never forget.

Mr. Zhou said that he hoped that this portrait of Chairman Mao would make children pay tribute to Chairman Mao's kind face. Let the old man relive Chairman Mao's affection;

Let China people know the origin of the new China and understand that today's happy life is really hard-won; Let Chinese and foreign tourists visiting Nanxun see the glorious history of China and the bright future of China.

When I crossed the Jinshui Bridge, walked into Little Tiananmen Square and boarded the tower, I found an exhibition room on the second floor, displaying "Highlights of the Founding of the People's Republic of China". The precious historical photos and graphic materials displayed in the room silently tell the grand occasion of founding ceremony that attracted worldwide attention and shocked the world more than 70 years ago.

Seeing that many great men have been engraved on the historical monument of the Republic and branded in the hearts of 65.438+300 million China people, and hearing the most powerful voice in the world 72 years ago, I understand that a nation has stood up! A brand-new country has been declared!

Today, 72 years later, the Republic that entered a new era and built a well-off society in an all-round way is already on the great new journey of realizing the Chinese nation's great rejuvenation of the Chinese dream. I firmly believe that:

The Republic is getting stronger and stronger! The Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will certainly be fully realized in the near future! The motherland and people will have a better tomorrow!

@ Today's Taibai, urban and rural towns are looking for context, and mountains and rivers are all open! @ Today is too white, holding a pen of cultural history, saying the land of China!
