Why Liang Sicheng is a sober historian

Because he can look at and analyze history from a neutral position.

There are no tendencies.

The American scholar Fairbank made the following assessment of Liang Sicheng's work during the Anti-Japanese War: In World War II, we met again in western China, but they were all half-disabled patients, but they still devoted themselves to scholarship despite all odds and under extremely difficult conditions. At that time, Lin Hui was suffering from tuberculosis, and Liang Sicheng suffered a spinal injury due to the sequelae of a car accident in his youth.

However, neither illness nor hardship has detracted from their passion for their groundbreaking research work. It was during this period during the war that Liang Sicheng wrote "The History of Chinese Architecture in Images" in English. In our minds, they are noble examples of dedication to science despite difficulties.

Liang Sicheng's academic achievements have also been valued by foreign academic circles, and Joseph Needham, a British scholar specializing in the study of the history of Chinese science, said: Liang Sicheng is a "master of the study of Chinese architectural history".

After the Japanese occupation of Northeast China, Liang Sicheng returned to Beiping in 1931 and joined the China Construction Institute (as the director of the French Department). In 1932, he presided over the restoration project of the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Forbidden City. In the same year, he wrote the manuscript of "Qing Style Construction Rules".

Since 1937, He Lin Huiyin and others have traveled to more than 200 counties in 15 provinces in China, surveying and photographing more than 2,000 pieces of ancient architectural relics preserved by the Tang, Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, including the Guanyin Pavilion of the Liao Dynasty building of the Liao Dynasty in Jixian County, Tianjin, the Guangji Temple of the Liao Dynasty in Baodi, the Longxing Temple of the Liao Dynasty in Zhengding, Hebei, the wooden pagoda of Yingxian County in the Liao Dynasty of Shanxi, the Huayan Temple and Shanhua Temple of the Liao Dynasty in Datong, and the Anji Bridge built by the Sui Dynasty in Zhaozhou, Hebei. The results of these major investigations were published abroad in articles, which attracted international attention to these cultural relics, and prepared a good foundation for Liang Sicheng's future annotations on "Constructing the French Style" and compiling "History of Chinese Architecture". From 1944 to 1945, Liang Sicheng served as deputy director of the War Zone Cultural Relics Preservation Committee of the Ministry of Education.

and his wife Lin Huiyin are the founders of Chinese architecture and great architects. 'The beauty of the forest and the gentleman on the beam', born in a family of celebrities, married the most talented and wise and beautiful woman, and the husband and wife worked together to travel thousands of rivers and mountains for the ancient buildings. In the face of his wife's many admirers, he is elegant and calm, and he has become a close friend, he is really a strange man.

Liang Sicheng, the son of Liang Rengong and Liang Qichao, the owner of the ice room, is actually a capable and honest man.

Liang Sicheng is a master of 20th-century architecture. It was such a war-torn historical environment that forged a group of outstanding talents like him, and it was also a group of outstanding talents like him who rewrote the history of China in the 20th century, and his suffering and glory must be considered in the social environment of the 20th century. Hehe, this is not arbitrary, nor can it be considered decisive, because this is just the first person in history in terms of his love story.

As far as I can see personally, I think this can only be a very emotional statement, or derived from the story of him and Lin Huiyin, or that Lin Huiyin fulfilled Liang Sicheng, and Liang Sicheng also fulfilled himself. Lin Huiyin is a legendary woman, she married Liang Sicheng, but she fell in love with the talented poet Xu Zhimo, and told Liang Sicheng what to do if she fell in love with someone, but at the same time she was deeply loved by the philosopher Jin Yuelin, and Jin never married her. Frank Hui.

So I think it's probably the main conclusion from this aspect.

As well as the reproduction of the unique book of paintings and hand-painted books in ancient Chinese architecture, coinciding with the centennial celebration of Tsinghua University, the first release of this book helps readers to have a deeper understanding of Mr. Liang, as well as his lifelong contributions to Chinese architecture and the essence of sculpture art; Allowing Chinese readers to revisit ancient Chinese architecture is an indispensable reserve of knowledge for Chinese readers to introduce Chinese culture to the West.

April 20, 2011 marks the 110th anniversary of the birth of Mr. Leung Sze Shing; Moreover, the detailed case descriptions in the book, the oldest wooden buildings in China, the Buddha statues in Chinese grottoes, and other Chinese architectural arts, give readers a deeper understanding of China's five ancient pagodas.

1. It is only an affirmation of Liang Sicheng's significant contributions in the 20th century, and it is also a deep regret that the ancient Chinese buildings and the world's ancient buildings have been damaged since then, and there is no ancient building that can be used to display his talents.

2. The boring architectural analysis, material analysis, shape outline and other architectural professional knowledge, embracing the human spirit of history and reality, integrating all his life with the objects he touches. 3. Architecture is a sacred art, a microcosm of society, a symbol of a famous nation, and a heritage of human civilization and culture.

4. Like the ancient temples of the Liao Dynasty, he was not recognized, understood and valued, expressing his helplessness of being misunderstood. 5. The rhetorical question expresses the author's deep emotion that the world cannot correctly understand and understand Liang Sicheng, and is a high praise for Liang Sicheng.

6. The noble spirit of sacrifice that regards art as life and abandons national hatred and family hatred in order to protect the cultural heritage of mankind. 。
