Encountered danger? Falling water? This road is a bit difficult

The fate of Wang Yansong and architecture has long been cultivated. During the undergraduate learning process, he was full of architecture, so he began to pay attention to excellent historical buildings and put his vision on ancient villages, ancient towns, and ancient buildings.

After graduating, he went to Huizhou for an internship. He saw the exquisiteness and disappointment of the ancient villages in southern Anhui. The exquisiteness of the ancient villages made it his guardians and this disappointment.

"Read thousands of books, and you need to do thousands of miles." So, he devoted himself to the study of architecture with his love of ancient villages. At the grassroots level, watching the country, Wang Yansong began his career to protect ancient buildings.

The pursuit of rural dogs in the countryside was misunderstood by the elderly in the township. The research team was in danger in the river. The students in the team wanted to give up ... The road to guarding ancient buildings was difficult.

Combining many years of practical experience, Wang Yansong has some perception: historical heritage is far from being recognized and protected by people, let alone inherit and carry forward. Only in China can people really feel that they can see things The emotions can truly believe in the vastness and deepness of Chinese culture.

"It's not because of how wisdom and strength I personally, but because of these local buildings we rely on, their own vitality and value, our work and mission are rejuvenated." Guard the road to guard them. Although this road is difficult, this era needs to have such a group of guardians. They dare to get involved in the unknown field and dare to climb the back of the pioneer. Civilization.

In the countryside, Wang Yansong is a scholar who is not afraid of hardships; on the Luojia Mountain, he is a good teacher who is tireless and advocates "unity of knowledge and action".

In order to better inherit the spirit of guarding the civilization of architectural civilization, Wang Yansong opened the course of "Appreciation of Chinese Turkish Buildings" since 2006. Talking about the original intention of opening this course, he frankly said: "At first I was just out of the mentality of sharing, but during the teaching process, I found that the lack of local cultural education was shocking. Since then, I have started to consciously consciously consciously. I feel that this is a kind of persistence and dissemination. I hope to plant the next seed in the hearts of students of different majors, and guide them to see those poor and even unknown natives from the perspective of aesthetics. To make up for and nourish the hearts of young people. "

In the daily teaching process, Wang Yan Song will particularly emphasize that "the paper is finally shallow on the paper", "I personally go to the countryside to enter the field to inspect the study returns. Many innovative touches and many inspiration triggers are not brought by books. "

At the same time, Wang Yansong mentioned that the development of various search engines and media platforms has provided very convenient help for students to obtain information, but this is also easy to develop a "habitual inertia", which will cause students to think about it in practice question. Therefore, in the field of field inspections, he will particularly emphasize that students mobilize their full -time attention and responsibility, explore true knowledge, and explore true explorations, so as to discover the true answer.

The road of guardianship, take a lifetime!

"There are hills in the chest, and there are mountains and rivers in my eyes." Wang Yansong adhered to his scholar's public heart and insisted on "walking south to the north." From the ancient villages of Huizhou to the cottage of Tumiao; from the immigration culture of southeast Hubei to the Xianfeng Road bone of Siming Mountain in the east of Zhejiang; from the simplicity of Jinnan and northern Henan to the elegance of Swen in Jiangnan Water Village ... He uses his thick footsteps to measure the country, Fight against the loss of civilization.

It was accidental and inevitable. In ignorance, he became associated with architecture. With the expansion of professional vision, he gradually realized that the intoxicating charm behind the village was also buried in the heart of protecting the local building in his heart. With his efforts, more cultural relics are protected, and more ancient cities and villages have an opportunity.

At present, Wang Yansong and students have helped Jiangxi and Hubei successfully approved dozens of traditional Chinese villages, and prepared dozens of traditional villages for protection plans for localities. These plans have been implemented. They also undertaken the repair design of many ancient village cultural relics protection units, rescued the ancestral hall and official hall in ancient villages, published a number of books on ancient villages, and wrote millions of words of "local tour" blogs. To promote the protection of ancient villages. For later scholars, Wang Yansong expects: "The work of our generation is the pavement of the generation of people in this generation. Our previous generation will always be the pavement of the next generation, so your work will be more. It is meaningful and stressful, but I also hope that everyone can get greater returns in the vast country fields. "

As for the guardianship of the ancient villages, Wang Yansong always hoped: "Each of us can feel the special aura in the traditional residential environment. The children cannot feel or not be able to say it for the time being. These are precious gifts and cure for us. They will always return to us one day, or they are blessings left by predecessors. They interpret the beauty of this world. "
