All we can see now is the last ruins of Yuanmingyuan. At first, this garden was given to his son by Emperor Kangxi. Later, two gardens were expanded, namely Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden. The Yuanmingyuan we are talking about now actually refers to the sum of the three gardens. When it was completed, it became another royal summer resort.
This is not the only summer resort of the ancient royal family, but Yuanmingyuan can be said to be a masterpiece, and it also absorbs the western architectural style. Many lost handicrafts can only be studied if Yuanmingyuan is not destroyed. The ancient building itself is also a large-scale cultural relic, which has very high research value, which is even more embarrassing. Instead of just sighing that you can't see the beautiful scenery.
Many people in China hope to restore Yuanmingyuan and restore its former glory. Xu Wenrong is the person who has this kind of voice. If you just listen to this name, many people will be confused, but as long as you mention that he is the founder of Hengdian Film and Television City, I believe everyone will suddenly realize the reaction.
Of course, there are other studios besides Hengdian now, but Hengdian is second to none in terms of scale and quality. The TV dramas watched by so many people, especially costume dramas, were shot in Hengdian. So far, only the last emperor can really go to the Forbidden City to shoot. When Hong Kong returned to China, the famous director Xie Jin wanted to shoot the Opium War, which was the shooting base "19th Century Guangzhou Street" funded by Xu Wenrong as an entrepreneur. That is, this contact with the film and television industry has made Xu Wenrong, who has made small achievements, see a new understanding. That is to copy famous ancient buildings and build a special film and television base. Actually, it's not just ancient buildings. As a film and television base, Hengdian has many shooting scenes in different periods. It can not only provide shooting venues for the crew, but also provide sightseeing for tourists. Later, the familiar Hengdian came from this way.
Yuanmingyuan has always been Xu Wenrong's unfulfilled long-cherished wish. When he first proposed to rebuild Yuanmingyuan, although some people supported it, many people, even experts, jumped out to stop it. Because Xu Wenrong built a film and television base in front of him, he wanted to rebuild Yuanmingyuan, which was considered impure and wanted to make a profit. Moreover, it is said that the site of Yuanmingyuan is also a kind of historical trace, so let's not forget the humiliating history in that respect, and be brave after knowing shame.
Xu Wenrong said that he only regretted the destruction of precious cultural relics. So far, so many cultural relics have been restored that you can't see them without repairing them. It is also proposed that Yuanmingyuan will not be used for profit.
In fact, many people have the same desire as Xu Wenrong, but there is nothing they can do. And Xu Wenrong has the heart and the ability. Fortunately, the final application was approved by the state. Since 12 started construction, a large part of it has been restored and opened to the outside world. The total investment is more than 30 billion yuan, all paid by individuals in Xu Wenrong, without using the state's money. It is also expected that when it is fully completed in the future, it will become another must-see attraction in the capital, which will attract domestic and foreign tourists and the Forbidden City.
