New forest of Steles Museum in Tangdu

Tangdu new stele forest museum is a private stele forest museum, which opened in September 2012. The museum is located in the archaeological exploration center of Daming Palace National Heritage Park. Li Hongcheng and Yin Jianxing are the leaders of Tangdu new stele forest museum. There are more than 100 steles on display in the museum, including ancient steles such as Ouyang Xun, Zheng Chenggong and huaisu QIANZI, as well as a series of new steles created by the couple.

The Museum of new stele forest in Tangdu is open to you free of charge.

Hard to build a library

Li Hongcheng, the chief designer of Tangdu new forest of Steles Museum, was fond of painting when he was young. Later, he met Yin Jianxing, Kang Shiyao's female disciple, when he was going to learn painting with Kang Shiyao, a master of traditional Chinese painting. Later, they created two works, the first emperor of Qin's tour and the imperial concubine leaning against chenxiangting, respectively. When they were carved into stone tablets and made rubbings, they sold well in the tourism market. Yin Jianxing, director of Tangdu new forest of Steles Museum, told reporters that the rubbings of "the tour of Qin Shihuang" were collected by French President Jacques Chirac and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. My painting "Princess reclining in chenxiangting" was collected by former Japanese Prime Minister Takeshita.

Because the couple's paintings have been welcomed by the market, many people suggest that they continue to create and build a new forest of contemporary steles, which is just in line with their wishes. Since then, Li Hongcheng and Yin Jianxing have formed an indissoluble bond with the stone tablet.

Why is the museum named the new stele forest of Tang capital? Li Hongcheng replied, "some people say that since you are in Xi'an, no matter how many dynasties there are in the history of China, the most representative of which is the Tang Dynasty. If you call it the Tang Dynasty, you will sum up the whole history. Why don't you call it the new stele forest of the Tang capital? "

After several years of deliberation, a blueprint of a new forest of Steles, which is mainly composed of Tang people, Tang poetry and chanting Tang people, reflects the history of the thirteen Dynasties when Chang'an was the capital, and integrates poetry, calligraphy and painting, has been formed in Li Hongcheng's and Yin Jianxing's mind.

Yin Jianxing said that there are also poems and paintings in the old forest of Steles, but very few of them. It is our innovation to show the characters like this.

It's a good thing to grind a lot. It's very appropriate to use the word Li Hongcheng and Yin Jianxing. In 1985, Li Hongcheng suffered from glaucoma due to his long-term fatigue. The next year, he was completely blind. After the project of Tangdu new stele forest was launched many times, it was shelved for various reasons.

"I don't want to say those things, but I want to shed tears. This thing has passed. What we have seen is today. What I am most gratified about today is that these stone tablets can be erected in Daming Palace. " Mentioning Li Hongcheng's injury, Yin Jianxing is still a little sad.

Before yinjianxing moved the stone tablets to Daming Palace, the reporter went to her home. Yinjianxing's family lived in the building built in the early 1970s. The house was simple, small and dark. But in this environment, while they were working hard, they protected the stone tablets, hoping that they could see the light again.

Yin Jianxing hopes that these steles will go where they should go, otherwise it would be a pity to be in this place.

Yin Jianxing said that after more than 30 years, they had thought about giving up, but they were reluctant to give up and insisted on it. Living in poverty, some people suggested that they sell some stone tablets to improve their life, but the couple refused without hesitation. "I once thought about giving up, not that I didn't think about it, but I couldn't bear to walk around and see these stone tablets. Just like our own children, it felt that we should find a suitable place for it."

Officially completed

In 2012, the site of the new stele forest in Tangdu was finally finalized and settled in Daming Palace National Heritage Park. In August 2012, a private museum was set up in Tangdu new stele forest, which finally passed the evaluation of experts. In September, the museum was officially completed and opened to tourists for free.

During the opening period, it receives about 100 tourists every day on average, and more than 500 tourists during holidays

Yin Jianxing said, "we hope more people will support and care about this matter by providing you with a free opportunity to visit. Because cultural matters are closely related to everyone. "

Li Zijie, Li Hongcheng's daughter, said that this sentence referred to by Zheng Chenggong Jian was an original sentence in Zheng Chenggong's letter to the Dutch invaders at that time. "Taiwan is the land of China." Taiwan is an integral part of China.

Yin Jianxing hopes to build the new stele forest of the Tang capital into a patriotic education base, and wants to engrave these famous ethnic heroes on the steles one after another. He believes that while striving to realize the Chinese dream, the Chinese people should not forget the past. Only by remembering the past can they stimulate greater enthusiasm for the dream.

Guard culture

With the completion of the museum, a larger new forest of Steles has been formed in the brain of Li Hongcheng and Yin Jianxing. This indoor Museum belongs to the first exhibition area, and then they will build a second exhibition area to create a larger outdoor forest of steles.

Yin Jianxing often says that he has a dream that he hopes to make these new forest of Steles prosperous in the years to come, hoping to find a successor to guard the cultural imprint here.
