significance

To commemorate the liberation of Shijiazhuang, "Shijiazhuang Liberation Monument" was built in the Liberation Square of the provincial capital, which is of historical significance. The whole monument is a combination of architecture and statue, and its connotation is allegorical and symbolic.

Now I put forward my views on the statue part, and hope that the "monument" will highlight the profound significance of the history and strategy of the liberation of Shijiazhuang.

geographical position

Shijiazhuang is located in an important strategic transportation hub in the south of Beijing. Looking back on history, 60 years ago was the year when the strategic situation of the enemy and ourselves in the war of liberation took a turning point. Our people's Liberation Army changed from an inferior position to an excellent one; its strategy and tactics changed from a mobile war to a tough one; and its strategy and tactics changed from encircling cities to occupying cities. As a commemorative sculpture design, we should firmly grasp these characteristics, but it is not enough to show the victory posture. It is not only a symbol of victory, but also not suitable for the strategic significance of the liberation of Shijiazhuang.

When the first battle is won, the big battle is still behind. It is not the final victory. At that time, the people's Liberation Army was still Xiaomi and rifles. They marched day and night on two legs, mobilized the tigers to leave the mountain, surrounded the sites to fight and help, annihilated the living enemies, and then captured the towns. The selection and shaping of mount posture does not show a unique typical significance, but it is suspected that foreign commemorative statues can be used for reference. As we all know, Guangzhou is the last liberated coastal city. Its Liberation Monument is a standing soldier of the people's Liberation Army, holding a gun in one hand and flowers in the other. It makes people feel at a glance that it is a simple soldier of the people's Liberation Army, with firm emotional expression and permanent commemoration, without vanity.

Shijiazhuang was liberated in 1947, when our army just turned to take the initiative to attack the city, the sense of time in the works is the expression element of the characteristics of things, the overall starting point and the basic point of the design.

Poems with inscriptions

In 1947, after the PLA changed from strategic defense to strategic attack, with the approval of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, the Shanxi Chahar Hebei field army, after six days and nights of fierce fighting, liberated Shijiazhuang, an important town in North China, from the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang on November 12. The liberation of Shijiazhuang is an example of the PLA's "capture of a big city". Commander in chief Zhu De wrote down the poem "conquering the stone gate" with joy

After conquering the stone gate and blocking the Taihang Mountain, the warrior opens the guard room. Destroy the whole division, collect the important town, do not teach Hu Ma back to Qinguan. The strategy of tackling difficult problems opens up a new face, and the people who have been trapped for a long time smile. The heroes of our party come out in large numbers. We never worry about the sideburns.

A failure

There are some failures in the characterization of Shijiazhuang Liberation Monument

1. People's Liberation Army characters are older, not handsome, and lack of simple image of soldiers from the field.

2. Although our army has single clothes in the film "liberation of Shijiazhuang", it is late autumn and early winter until the liberation of Shijiazhuang. Our army is already dressed in winter clothes (a large number of battlefield photos can be seen). Season and dress is an important image language of design, which is a typical factor. However, this design is single dress, lack of historical reality, giving people the misleading of season.

3. In 1947, there was still one year to go before the three major battles, and our army had not yet seized many American weapons. The statue held high is an American carbine, which is not representative and typical. (the Liberation Monument in Guangzhou is still made of rifles.).

4. The American carbine has a short shuttle and contains ten bullets. And "Shijiazhuang liberation"
