Chapter 202 The Past of Kyoto
Speaking of Kyoto, the Japanese owed Liang Qichao's eldest son Liang Sicheng, otherwise this famous Japanese historical and cultural city would have been destroyed.
This incident has been controversial later. The focus of the controversy is whether Liang Sicheng has advised the US military to retain Kyoto and Nara to avoid aircraft bombing?
One argument that the United States used atomic bombs to bomb Hiroshima Nagasaki in Japan was a highly confidential military activity, and the atomic bomb was the first time in human history to be used in actual combat. Such a highly confidential matter should be decided by the Supreme Command of the US military. How could an architectural scholar be sought?
Of course, these questions are related to some boring literati writing randomly. They vividly described the Americans who found Liang Sicheng with a Japanese map. The map had marked more than a dozen cities listed as bombing targets. Then Liang Sicheng picked up his pen and made a cross on Kyoto and Nara, which the US military had marked, and said that this was the legacy of human civilization and should be protected by all mankind.
Summarize various information and restore the truth of history. The real situation at that time should be like this: 2
At the end of the war, the US State Department called China, saying that China should establish the China Theater Cultural Relics Protection Committee to protect historical relics. According to the US suggestion, China established the China Theater Cultural Relics Protection Committee and appointed Liang Si as deputy director. His main job was to mark cities with densely distributed cultural relics on the map.
It is a historical fact that everyone recognizes.
Then, someone suggested that at that time, Liang Sicheng only marked Chinese cities. Because it was a Chinese war zone, how could he mark Japanese maps? This also became evidence that Liang Sicheng protected Kyoto and Nara.
These are all imaginations that people who take it for granted but do not read history.
The Chinese war zone naturally refers to the East Asian war zone. Have you heard of the Japanese war zone?
At that time, the map marked by the China Theater Cultural Relics Protection Committee was the entire East Asia region, naturally including Japan and North Korea.
After these maps are marked, they are directly handed over to the 14th Air Force in China. Of course, they are not formulated for atomic bombing, but for the United States to bomb the Japanese mainland, allowing the US military to avoid these historical and cultural cities during bombing.
Du Nara is a historical monument, all of which are wooden structures. If a heavy incendiary bomb goes down, a city will be destroyed.
In the end, the final conclusion is that Kyoto Nara was exempted from bombing, including the final atomic bombing, which were all maps marked by the China War Theater Cultural Relics Committee. The main annotator of the map was Mr. Liang Sicheng, who saved Kyoto and Nara.
Liangshi originally sculpted a half-body bronze statue to commemorate Liang Sicheng, but later someone raised objections. He said that the matter was only dictated and there was no conclusive physical evidence. The bronze statue was then abandoned.
The Japanese owe Liang Sicheng a temple, a large bronze statue with full body!
At this time, Lu Yongzhi was sitting in the pavilion of Kiyomizu Temple, overlooking the entire Kyoto city. What he thought of was this case decades later.
The best place to enjoy maple maple in the sky is Kyoto. Sitting in this mountain pavilion, looking far away, there are all yellow maple and red maple, like the clouds in the sky, and like the burning torch.
Holding a wooden plate underneath, I climbed up the stone steps, and went to the pavilion and said, "
The monk in the temple said that every year when the maple leaves turn red, there will always be some literati and poets coming here to watch the maple leaves. They will also offer a pot of tea and two snacks to serve the guests, and show off the thoughts in the temple."
Lu Yongzhi looked at the plate with a small purple clay teapot, with two small tea cups and two plates on it, with a few pasta on it.
I took a sip of the tea cup and it tasted arguably, similar to the thick bitter tea in the south.
Yongzhi smiled and said:
"The begging for alms in this temple is quite ancient. Unlike some temples in China, when you enter, you will find a large donation box. You must also write the words "raised" in red, which looks like a bloody mouth. It is so elegant, the host and the guests are in harmony, and the donation is also comfortable, and the host is not ugly. Under the forest, donate 300 yen when you leave."
At that time, one yen is equivalent to one tael and four cents of silver, and more than three hundred yen is equivalent to more than four hundred taels of silver.
At this time, Impression jumped up and said, "Sir, there is a mountain spring over there, it is a small waterfall. Come and have a sip. It's very sweet."
Lu Yongzhi followed her and saw a clear spring flowing down from the mountain. When he reached the pool, he was divided into three strands by a large piece of rock.
Come, sir, give you a try." Yin Yun handed over a cup, Lu Yongzhi walked to the edge of the pond, and took half a cup of spring water casually. It was sweet and very cool.
"Wow, sir, your Red Luan Star is moving, and you have a romantic encounter." Impression clapped his hands.
Lu Yongzhi's face was puzzled, and the voice explained: "
Here are three spring waters, which represent three meanings. The leftmost represents knowledge. If you drink it, you will pass every exam; the rightmost represents longevity. If you drink this water, you will be able to live a hundred years old. The middle one represents marriage. If you drink it, you will express your marriage. What you just received was the spring water in the middle. Isn’t there another happy event?”
"Then what are you drinking?"
Xiang pouted and said, "I drink the leftmost one, and I will pass every exam, but I am most annoying to study. My sister, like you, drinks in the middle. It seems that the heart of spring is creeping."
"Go to yours." Yin Yun's face turned red.
There is a signpost outside the Kiyomizu Temple, one of which points to Arashiyama. In the impression of Chinese people, Kyoto is the most famous of this Arashiyama. Its reputation is not its red leaves all over the mountain, nor its dense bamboo forest, and the Tenryu Temple related to the Shogun.
Premier Zhou Enlai, who was less than 20 years old at that time, had come and left his handwriting here.
Like the Chinese of that era, the older generation of Japanese were once conquered by Premier Zhou Enlai's great personal charm, so later they left several stone carvings for him in Lanshan.
Zhou Enlai is still in Tianjin now, and he is only about ten years old. Since he hasn't come, there is nothing good about Lanshan."
Let's just rent a few bicycles and ride around Kamakawa." Impression suggested. When she was going up the mountain just now, she saw several bicycles parked in a shop with the words for rent at the door.
Yachuan is a stream with clear flowing water, white pebbles under it, and many cherry blossom trees are planted on both sides. Unfortunately, only in spring can you see the cherry blossoms in full swing.
You go ride, I'll sit here and smoke a cigarette waiting for you." Lu Yongzhi found a big stone by the stream and sat down, lit a cigar.
"Then let's go." I remember that the three of them rode their bikes along the cobblestone road by the stream, racing at the speed of their bikes.
This is also considered old, and he has no passion and crazy mood of young people. Although he is not as young as thirty, he has too many things to pretend to be in his heart and needs to think too much, and he can't let go of it slowly.
"Sir, you're in a daze again." Yin Yun appeared beside him with a bicycle."
Alas, why are you back?" Lu Yongzhi looked at his watch and they only left for about half an hour.
It’s not interesting to ride a bike, so why not come back and talk to the gentleman.” Yin Yundao returned the car next to him, and went to the beverage store to buy two drinks and brought it over.
Yizhi gave way to the side and gave a place for Yinyun. The stone was not big, Yinyun sat down close to him."
Sir, this time I came to Japan, I found that you are different from before, always have a lot of worries. Can you tell me what you are thinking?"
The rhyme was next to his shoulder, and a faint fragrance sometimes filled the air.
"I can't say it, I'm very confused. It seems that I have finished my whole life's journey and can't be energetic in anything I do." Lu Yongzhi replied lazily. Everything I do is natural now. Think about when I was struggling on the Sino-Vietnam border, although it was hard, it was bursting with passion and full of energy every day.
"Sir, have you tried to love someone? It's the feeling of missing you every day that you're heart-wrenching?
