The ancient buildings in Hangzhou were painted as local gold and then painted back to gray (Figure).
Recently, the circle of friends was screened by two pictures of "Qiushui Mountain Villa". One is colored, the other is gray, and it is color that causes everyone to vomit. The gatehouse is painted in yellow wall scarlet letter, and the color is very bright, which is abrupt compared with the color of surrounding buildings. At noon the day before yesterday, the yellow of the gatehouse of Qiushui Villa was covered with new gray. Hangzhou Garden Department said: Qiushui Mountain Villa, as a cultural relic protection site in Hangzhou, should go through filing or approval procedures before implementing protective maintenance or repair. However, they have not reported these refreshes, and the garden department will strengthen its supervision responsibility in the future.
Qiushui mountain villa
Color changes twice a day.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, when the reporter passed Beishan Street, he was attracted by the yellow "Qiushui Villa". Compared with the surrounding red bricks and gray tiles, yellow is really abrupt. At that time, the reporter also had the same guess as passers-by. Maybe this is just the background color. How can the buildings by the West Lake be this color?
What the reporter didn’t expect was that two weeks later, the yellow color was still there, and it became online celebrity. Early the day before yesterday, someone in the circle of friends was forwarding two contrasting pictures of "Qiushui Mountain Villa". One was an old photo, and the light gray wall was mottled, revealing a yellowish wall. Behind the four gray characters of Qiushui Villa is a white bottom. The other one, painted bright yellow. The four characters of Qiushui Villa have also been changed to bright red.
By 10 o’clock in the morning, these two pictures were in a screen-brushing situation, accompanied by doubts: rhubarb and scarlet were really unacceptable.
At noon the day before yesterday, the reporter rushed to Beishan Street. There were already construction workers painting the wall at the entrance of Qiushui Villa. Most of the yellow of the original gatehouse was covered with new gray. A worker said that they were suddenly notified in the morning and asked to paint it gray as soon as possible. After half an hour, the original bright yellow wall turned gray.
Xinxin Hotel
Painting is not reported.
The management of "Qiushui Villa" is Xinxin Hotel. Because of the heavy humidity near the West Lake, the gatehouse of the villa needs to be repainted every two or three years. This painting was also organized by them.
The person in charge of Xinxin Hotel emphasized that the gatehouse was originally yellow. This painting is also intended to repair the old. "We checked the historical materials. In those days, Mr. Shi Liangcai bought half a piece of land in Jingguantang to build Qiushui Villa. The gatehouse was painted yellow, perhaps to explain its origin with the temple. So we want to repair the old as before and restore the yellow gatehouse. "
Moreover, in the process of scraping off the old coating during construction, it was found that the residual coating inside was yellow.
In the eyes of the person in charge of Xinxin Hotel, their starting point was good, but they didn’t expect to "do bad things with good intentions". "Now the yellow with the past yellow is not the same, too bright. We also admit this, and there is indeed a technical deviation. Frankly speaking, our original intention is not wrong, but also to respect history. It’s just that the opinions on the Internet are too concentrated, and everyone still likes the previous gray. " Therefore, Xinxin Hotel temporarily decided to brush it back to gray first. But this is not the final color, and they will invite relevant experts to discuss it again.
Suddenly turned yellow, and suddenly turned gray. Some netizens are worried that brushing around can be so capricious? Don’t you need approval or filing? The person in charge of Xinxin Hotel also admitted that they did not report to the relevant departments before the two "refreshes".
Garden and cultural department
Strengthen supervision responsibility
Hangzhou Bureau of Landscape Architecture and Culture said that in order to strengthen the supervision responsibility, they will invite experts to come to the door to make a plan and discuss the next step with Xinxin Hotel as soon as possible.
What color is the gatehouse of Qiushui Villa? The reporter went to Hangzhou Archives to inquire. Unfortunately, the archives did not keep the old photos of that year. Zhong Xiangping, a researcher on old buildings in Hangzhou, is an expert on "living maps" and "old houses" in Hangzhou. He told reporters that no one knows whether the earliest background color of the gatehouse of Qiushui Villa is yellow or bluish gray. However, he felt that the original background color, blue brick color, blue gray is more likely. This should also be more in line with everyone’s aesthetics.
Color expert
New doesn’t mean beauty.
"This careless move is likely to erase the best things in Hangzhou." Associate Professor Zhai Yin, a researcher at the Institute of Color Studies of the Chinese Academy of Fine Arts, was very sad when he talked about this matter.
"New doesn’t mean beauty! It is a very unconfident behavior for them to brush like this. " Zhai Yin said that the most valuable place in Hangzhou, especially by the West Lake, is the perfect integration of cultural and historical buildings and natural landscapes. "Even if these buildings are to be repaired as old as before, they need to be cautious and cautious, and they should not be casually laid hands on, instead of casually wiping any cement paint. The consequences are really irreparable."
Zhai Yin also appealed that in addition to respect and self-confidence, legislation must be accelerated. "Government departments need wisdom to legislate and strengthen management and execution. No matter the color of the landscape of the West Lake or the whole city, they should be treated with caution and study it with scientific methods and aesthetic eyes."
The day before yesterday, Xiang Yongdan, deputy mayor of Hangzhou Municipal Government, said that the problems in the renovation of "Qiushui Villa" exposed the shortcomings in the refined management of Hangzhou. All units should attach great importance to and treat the repair of historical buildings carefully in environmental remediation; Seriously implement the strict audit mechanism with the participation of experts. All departments should take this as a mirror, draw inferences from others, respect experts, listen to public opinions and reflect urban culture and characteristics in the renovation of urban housing buildings. Hangzhou is very grateful to the citizens for their enthusiastic participation in urban construction, and hopes that everyone will give more valuable opinions and suggestions on such issues.
