Grandstanding! Changsha and Yuncheng: The statue of Guan Yu is built higher and higher! Jingzhou expressed dissatisfaction.

In recent years, the tourism market in China has become increasingly huge. According to statistics during the National Day of 20 19, the number of tourists in this Golden Week exceeded 700 million, and * * * received 780 million domestic tourists, earning nearly 650 billion yuan. No scenic spot or even local government wants to miss such a cake of tourism economy.

Beijing, Xi 'an and other ancient capitals, as well as natural places such as Zhangjiajie and Jiuzhaigou, are rich in tourism resources and naturally have no worries about tourists. In some places, there are neither ancient architectural sites nor godsend scenic spots, so they can only be artificial. However, man-made scenic spots must also be combined with local history and culture, and cannot be fabricated out of thin air, so the hometown of various celebrities and ancients surfaced.

However, the hometown of celebrities is sometimes vague and the number of places is limited. For example, Taoyuanming's Peach Blossom Garden, which has been making a lot of noise in the past few years, is contested by many provinces and cities. Places where celebrities and ancients have been can also be forcibly combined. For example, Guan Gong hit Changsha, which you may not be familiar with. It is such a historical point that has been excavated.

In the scenic spot of Guanshan Ancient Town in Ningxiang City, there stands a statue of Guan Yu, which is about ten meters high and quite imposing. I wonder what this ancient town of Guanshan has to do with Guan Yu. It is said that when Guan Yu hit Changsha, every pun meant "Guan".

After all, Changsha is just a scratch, and Guan Yu has more say in Yuncheng, Shanxi and Jingzhou, Hubei. The former is Guan Yu's hometown, and the latter is more familiar to everyone-Jingzhou's carelessness is to close the Lord.

Guan Yu is a famous soldier in Shu, and he was the first of the five tiger generals in Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. Guan Yunchang is brave and good at fighting on the battlefield. He is the embodiment of a warrior. Almost all Guan Yu sculptures are equipped with his signature weapon-Qinglong Crescent Moon Blade. This statue of Guan Yu is located in Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province. It is more than 20 meters high and stands in the mountains. It is magnificent and awe-inspiring.

However, the 10-meter-long landscape statue in Ningxiang, Changsha and the 20-meter-long "mountain god" in Yuncheng mountains can not be compared with the statue of Guan Gong in Jingzhou. This statue of Guan Yu is located in Guan Gong No.1 Garden, with an accurate height of 57.3 meters and a broadsword length of about 70 meters, setting a world record for Guan Yu's sculpture.

Such a big statue, though magnificent, is very uncoordinated and even destroys the surrounding ecological environment. The giant statue of Guan Yu in Jingzhou was questioned, which destroyed the style and historical context of the ancient city of Jingzhou. In order to attract eyeballs, enrich positions and develop eyeball economy, it can be described as "painstaking". Now it is faced with migration, which is really not worth the candle.

Statues like this are not uncommon in China's vast scenic spots, such as Mazu, Guanyin, Maitreya and so on. Are these aspiring participants and decision makers really just for art and commemoration? I think everyone already has the answer in mind.
