Originally, Professor Liang called the other four old professors here to meet Zhang Junping and first talk about asking them to help check the renovation plan of Prince Gong's Mansion.
For specific matters, sit down and study them slowly.
As a result, everyone including Professor Liang himself was shocked by Zhang Junping's strength and courage, and couldn't help but get involved, and everyone started a heated discussion.
From the location and size of the house, the structural layout of the interior, to the size of the beams, roof ridges, eaves and pillars, the selection of materials, and the patterns of the carvings, everyone expressed their opinions and argued endlessly.
Of course, this kind of debate is not just a battle of words, but must be based on evidence.
The basis is various historical documents.
It's just that although the ancients had records of these things, they were not like the current construction records.
Many historical records contain only a few words. It is not easy to summarize the specifications and dimensions of a building and other detailed data from just a few words.
Not to mention such fragmentary records, even the knowledge of saints has been understood by later generations as knowledge that fooled the people and harmed the country.
Therefore, everyone has a different understanding of what is recorded in historical records, and naturally there will be disputes.
Don’t be afraid of disputes. The more you argue, the clearer your reasoning becomes.
However, it is obviously not possible today. No one is prepared. If we discuss it like this now, we will not be able to come up with a solution in a year.
So, everyone made an appointment tomorrow to bring their own collection of ancient books and documents and discuss it again.
In fact, there are detailed records of the royal palace's regulations. However, after experiencing the chaos of the late Qing Dynasty, the warlord wars of the Republic of China, and the baptism of the great times after the founding of the People's Republic of China, many precious ancient books and documents have been lost.
The ancient books and documents originally hidden in the Forbidden City, as well as the archives recording various data about the Qing Dynasty, were all packed up in sacks and sold by the warlords and rebels.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a lot of Qing palace archives were recovered from the private sector.
However, following the great era of another ten years, the archives and materials of the Qing palace once again encountered disaster. Many of them were destroyed directly during the great era. Of course, many archives and materials of the Qing palace were hidden by knowledgeable people among the people.
Now that the great era has just passed, those Qing palace archives and materials that are living among the people have not yet been collected.
Therefore, various historical research is not so smooth.
The next day, Zhang Junping came to the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University again.
Today's discussion was held in a medium-sized conference room.
When Zhang Junping walked into the conference room, there were already many people inside, including three generations of old, middle-aged and young people.
Moreover, the conference table was filled with various archives and ancient books and documents.
Of course, these archival materials and ancient books and documents are all photocopies, and it is impossible to take out the originals.
"Xiao Zhang is here? I have invited some experts in ancient architecture and history to come over today.
This is Dean Sima, the dean of the School of History at BJ University. Dean Sima has unique research on Chinese history, especially on the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties." Professor Liang pulled Zhang Junping to introduce him to today's arrival.
experts.
"This is Professor Han, a researcher at the National Palace Museum Research Institute. Professor Han not only has unique research on the history of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also has in-depth research on the ancient architecture of the Ming and Qing Dynasties..."
Good guy, we really invited a lot of people, and they are all great people. Not only experts and professors from Peking University, but also experts and professors from the National Palace Museum Research Institute were invited.
"Professor Liang, thank you so much! You have troubled me for this little thing!" Zhang Junping thanked him quickly.
The renovation of Prince Gong's Mansion is the largest ancient building renovation project since the reform and opening up, or in the past thirty years, and it has a relatively large appeal.
Otherwise, just based on Yang Mingde's phone call, just based on Zhang Junping being Yang Mingde's apprentice, even if the old lady is added to it, it won't be that big of face.
But no matter what, Professor Liang definitely put his heart into organizing such a large seminar to help Zhang Junping.
Zhang Junping was talking with experts and professors, introducing the renovation status of Prince Gong's Mansion, when a burst of noise came from the door of the conference room.
Everyone looked back and hurried over to greet him.
"Mr. Qigong, welcome, welcome!" Professor Liang smiled and said as he rushed towards the person and cupped his hands.
"Haha, I heard someone said that there is a grand meeting today, so I came here uninvited. It was a presumptuous move, but I hope Haihan will do it!" Qi Gong laughed.
"Mr. Qi Gong can come, but it's not too late for us to welcome him!
I originally planned to invite Mr. Qi Gong today, but I heard that Mr. Qi Gong has been in poor health recently, so I didn’t dare to disturb you!" Professor Liang explained politely.
In terms of identity or academic status, Professor Liang is no worse than Qi Gong, or even slightly higher.
Professor Liang is an expert in ancient architecture and architecture. He is also the dean of the School of Architecture at Tsinghua University.
Qi Gong is a calligraphy master and a professor at BJ Normal University.
However, status cannot be judged by status today.
Pay attention to the visitor as a guest.
After being polite to Professor Liang, who was a resident, Qi Gong smiled and greeted Zhang Junping again, "Zhang Xiaoyou, we meet again!"
"Yes, Mr. Qi Gong, we meet again! I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you?" Zhang Junping bowed slightly and said hello.
Mr. Qi Gong is a good old man in the art circle. He always smiles to everyone and is very helpful.
Later generations, probably in the 1990s.
Some people took notice of Mr. Qi Gong's kindness and pretended to be miserable to win Mr. Qi Gong's sympathy.
He said how miserable his family was, his parents were seriously ill, and he couldn't afford to see a doctor. He asked Mr. Qigong to write a letter so that he could sell money for medical treatment.
Mr. Qigong wrote it with a smile.
The staff around him reminded him that he was a liar, and Mr. Qigong didn't care. Instead, he said with a smile: "Haha, they are really poor, and their spiritual world is poor.
Faced with the poverty of a spiritual world, why bother to expose them and embarrass each other?"
It can be seen that Mr. Qi Gong is a kind, wise and generous artist.
"Haha, my health is not bad. These are some old problems. I have them every winter. It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. If I don't have them again every year, I won't feel at ease!" Mr. Qi Gong smiled heartily.
He said.
This sentence is also a response to Professor Liang just now.
"It's great that you can come! With your help, I feel more confident about the renovation of Prince Gong's Mansion."
Zhang Junping's words are not polite. If anyone knows the history of the Qing Dynasty best, apart from the last emperor, it is probably Mr. Qi Gong.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Qing history is one’s family history.
In fact, Zhang Junping planned to ask Qi Gong for advice at the beginning, but as Professor Liang said before, Qi Gong was not in good health during this period, so he was too embarrassed to disturb him.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm here to learn from you. I hope I can use this event to restore some history..." Qi Gong said with a smile.
After saying a few words to Zhang Junping, Qi Gong turned around and greeted everyone else in the conference room one by one, without ignoring anyone.
