Building of 13 ancient large granary ruins in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province

July 9, 2010 CCTV "News 1+1" broadcast "was strong demolition of the Millennium granary"!　　, the following is a record of the program: Moderator (Li Xiaomeng): Welcome to the news 1+1. On one side is a large ancient granary of the song and Yuan dynasties, if it is preserved to this day, its historical value, archaeological value, any value is self-evident, while the other side is under construction of the so-called most noble modern business living community, when the two sides who will win this would have been a question of no suspense,　　But in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, it gives a very different answer.　　(play short film) Jiangsu Zhenjiang Ruyi Jiangnan Real Estate Sales office staff: this way to the center of the city to walk almost five or six minutes, then this piece of words, because it is the west of the ancient canal, West Water for gold, feng shui is still relatively good. Explanation: Jiangsu Zhenjiang's Ruyi Jiangnan is looking forward to the opening next month, it is said that more than 700 suites have been registered thousands of people, but for this so-called noble modern business living community many scholars are bitterly. Archaeological sites turned into construction sites, the Grand Canal has never found such a valuable site, was destroyed it is heartbreaking, we do not know how many people heard the Nanjing museum director of the archaeological Lin Liugen of the outcry. This should not be such a face, the history of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in this and the Yangtze intersection, and is located in ancient 13 ancient remnants of the large granary, it not only belongs to Zhenjiang, belongs to China, but also the world cultural heritage.　　And Ruyi Jiangnan is built on this site.　　Lin Liugen (Director of Archaeological Institute of Nanjing Museum): In our China Grand Canal 1794 kilometers long on the Grand Canal, did not find such as Zhenjiang song and Yuan period of such a granary such a site, so this site to our Grand Canal to declare the world cultural heritage is very important, is to witness the Grand Canal its historical role of the most important site.　　Explanation: Last year, the Nanjing Museum and the Zhenjiang museums once again found the grain granary, Yuan Dynasty stone arch Bridge, Ming and Qing station and Yamen, this is Zhenjiang as a canal canal hub of the demonstration, the project has been shortlisted for the 2009 National ten new Archaeological discoveries.　　Lin Liugen: October 2009, we personally to the scene, then said that this piece is very important, when the Granary has not been fully discovered, the Yuan Dynasty to discover the Stone arch Bridge, as well as the Ming and Qing dynasties when the canal, then feel that this should be done well, certainly the future will become the ten archaeological discoveries.　　Explanation: But the excitement of the archaeologists has not yet, one night last December, a person in Nanjing, Lin Liugen received a visit to the archaeological scene of Zhenjiang Canal phone calls, they told him that real estate developers to enter. Lin Liugen: Some of the archaeologists called me secretly, said LIN director you must hurry to come, this place we cannot withstand, the pressure is too big, the work did not finish, they directly entered the field, has dug up the archaeological excavation spot, has filled out, destroyed, did not give them to provide the archaeological condition. In addition, the whole area of the buildingDomain all block up, archaeologists can't go, you want to archaeology, no way.　　Zhenjiang to law enforcement of the comrades, they will switch to large machinery in front of your face, with a large Qing mechanical demolition, so very rampant, arrogant.　　Explanation: This is Lin Liugen oneself in the construction scene to take a picture, this kind of scene is afraid to be staged every day, but in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, this historical and cultural value of the ruins of all this still makes us calm. Lin Liugen: This property is in the entire site, it destroyed the granary, directly piling up the house, this property is destroyed a complete site, the site is very large, at that time, add up to have 13 granary, this property is complete the whole is located in the Granary above, this loss is immeasurable,　　They say the campus now invests 4 billion, actually destroying more than 4 billion, maybe 10 billion, 20 billion, and Zhenjiang has no more. Explanation: In Zhenjiang Construction department design of the future half way, the construction of Ruyi Jiangnan is a part of the reconstruction of the double well Road shanty project, the developer Zhenjiang City Investment company its general manager Curihong is Zhenjiang Construction Bureau Deputy Director, today we can also see on the website of Zhenjiang Daily that the city builder's infinite longing for the future, In an interview, he described the unprecedented transformation of the city with a subversive nature.　　35 High-rise residential buildings, each has an underground parking space, more than 80 automatic escalators, the ground, underground together, and between the connection, people and cars each road, children can freely shuttle. When an archaeological excavation and a developer's bulldozer bumped into each other, in the song Yuan Granary 2009 National Top ten new archaeological discoveries, due to not have time to protect the excavation site, timely completion of archaeological work, the project eventually failed to be selected, more importantly, a cultural site has not had time to meet with the poet has been inexplicably disappeared,　　This has left some of the country's archaeologists, including Lin Liugen, with nowhere to vent their anger.　　Lin Liugen: So far, the loss of the cultural sector is very large, we are also the loss of Jiangsu cultural relics, but also the loss of our Chinese cultural sector, one of the losses, now a Yuan Dynasty to protect the stone arch, is basically in situ protection, but the granary it may, for example, ran to the basement of the real estate. Moderator: Lin Liugen director has just gone to the scene again today, we now quickly connect him.　　Hi, director Lin.　　Lin Liugen: Hello.　　Moderator: What's the situation at the scene today?　　Lin Liugen: Now the site has been basically destroyed the Granary, now the site is very busy, large-scale machinery in the construction, the foundation has been dug down the surface of 4 to 5 meters such a.　　Moderator: Director Lin in your words, is there any possibility of saving? Lin Liugen: Now it's the place, it's a system of cultural heritage made up of granaries, stone bridges and canals, and now the stoneArch Bridge is still in the scene, the other Granary is basically destroyed, the Grand Canal, is main river, song Yuan period of main river also all been shovel off.　　Moderator: In fact, before the developers and the Ministry of Security has reached a consensus, that is, the joint protection of archaeological first, this consensus why set aside?　　Lin Liugen: Why is this consensus invalidated, it is because throughout the archaeological process, our cultural departments, cultural relics management departments and developers have a lot of coordination between, but the final developer is very strong, they are representative of the construction of a new city of Zhenjiang, archaeology seems to hinder the construction of modernization. Moderator: OK, thank you, Director Lin, archaeology hinders the construction of modern cities.　　After thousands of years of cultural relics, perhaps each of us immediately produces a kind of awe, even talking may not be loud, but Professor Wang you see, why do people dare to do this, what kind of people? Wang Xi Zinc (special commentator): I think this is particularly, I think director Lin once saw the scene is really like the previous period of heat should be the film "Avatar" inside a scene like that, only this time is a strong demolition of a thousands of years of history, with the words of experts in the archaeological field, the Chinese archaeological relics of great significance, Significant value such an artifact, who dares to dismantle such relics? From this video, we have seen very clearly, demolition is the developer, and this developer is not general, just now director Lin said, very strong, that strong to what extent? The developer is Zhenjiang's City investment company, and this investment company's general manager is Zhenjiang's construction bureau deputy director, therefore here, the reason that the developer is so strong, the reason that he dares to go, others dares to speak loudly the cultural relics, he may use the bulldozer to push off, that I think is the local government uses the power. Behind this power we see that he has a new plan, that there is a so-called subversion, he wants to make history, but it destroys a history.　　So I think the strength of the developers is his bold reasons.　　Moderator: Also see the demolition process is quite thorough, but also quite fast, he is robbing what time? Wang Xi Zinc: This is very interesting, because the cultural relics here from the archaeological experts, it is very important value, once the value is very large, especially if it was selected in 2009 China's top ten archaeological discoveries what does that mean? That means that this artifact may need to be protected, if the cultural relics need to be protected, especially in the song and Yuan period of the Granary need to be protected, then can you build a building here? It turned out that the subversive changes that Zhenjiang place had to be put aside. So strategically, it's possible that the local demolition was so fast, demolished so thoroughly, in fact, they should say that they are aware of this is the cultural relics, he has to do is that I can not let it become a real cultural relic, because once become a cultural relic, the building can not be built, the money is not made, so the best way to rush before you have to explore , hasn't comeIdentified before, I first tore it down, after the demolition, you can not be identified, so my building could still cover up. Host: I'm going to let you die.　　His project is a slum-upgrading project, and perhaps City-building people will say that we are more than just a business goal. Wang Xi Zinc: It is true that today we are transforming the old City of cities, we should say that many cities should participate more, but a fundamental purpose of urban transformation, I think is to make the city better. The city has become better, not just inhabited, also includes the spirit, the taste, so like Zhenjiang such a historical city, it has such a big important discovery, originally protects it also can let the city become better, and this kind of transformation is to solve the living, especially here, this transformation itself may also need to play a question mark, Because it is from the old city, to high-grade, subversive high-end community, then it may actually be a, should be said to be a real estate development. In this case, the development of business, encounter this culture, in fact, culture is also an interest in the development of the city, it is a city's interests, if the damage, in fact, as we just now archaeological experts said, it losses are very huge, but the city builders and managers, just take into account his tenure,　　Right now, as for the long-term loss of how much, the city's overall taste loss, even the national cultural relics of the protection of how much, may not be within his consideration.　　Moderator: You are a legal expert, the following question is asked in your field, we have according to the current information to see, like this situation, suitable for what kind of legal provisions to punish? Wang Xi Zinc: If you say from the province level, and even the National Bureau of Cultural Relics Such a recognition of such experts, this is a very important cultural relics, is a very important, through archaeological relics can be found, if the intentional destruction of cultural relics, in fact, it is very interesting, our national heritage Protection law is clearly stipulated, if the destruction of cultural relics, We can see there is a ppt, the destruction of cultural relics, in violation of the provisions of this law, there are one of the following acts, which constitute the criminal liability for crimes, in which there is a deliberate or fruit damage to national protection of precious cultural relics. We can also see that there is a special provision in the Penal Code, which stipulates in the Penal code that if you damage the artifacts, you clearly say that you are sentenced to three years of imprisonment or criminal detention, and if the circumstances are serious, three years or less than 10 years of imprisonment.　　So the law, the responsibility of the law is actually very clear.　　Moderator: But precisely this is the so-called cultural relic area, it is not defined as national or provincial level. Wang Xi Zinc: So it's also possible to say that local developers, including the government behind it, it may be thought, if it is really a cultural relic, protected by the law, then I may move it, not only the planning department to redesign, and you really damaged, there will be legal sanctions, so doCrisp pound, I first demolished, after demolition, since has not been identified as a cultural relic, how do you follow the law to pursue my responsibility?　　Moderator: Thousands of years of historical relics have been destroyed, the Department of Cultural relics Why can not do anything? (play short film) Lin Liugen: Some time ago I went to Zhenjiang, saw the city wall of Zhenjiang, entered the doorway is written "demolition of an old Zhenjiang, building a new Zhenjiang", a historical and cultural name, with such a slogan to carry out construction, it is incredible.　　Their leader can be the leader of a development zone, but he cannot be a leader in the name of history and culture, he is not worthy of the famous city. Explanation: Lin Liugen, director of the Archaeological Institute of Nanjing Museum, his name is rooted, professional archaeology, it is to retain the history of our cultural roots.　　In recent years, however, he had to face a series of destructive roots in Zhenjiang.　　According to the Director of forestry, according to the provisions of China's "heritage protection Law", large-scale project construction, the first archaeological, according to the archaeological results of the adjustment of the design plan, after the approval of the Planning Bureau can start, then Zhenjiang Ruyi Jiangnan reform has been implemented according to law? Lin Liugen: When a discovery of the cultural relics, (Zhenjiang) The government gave orders to the Cultural Bureau, the Cultural Bureau to the museum under the Order, (museum) to the archaeological team under the order, said that the situation can not be reported outside, they if the outside disclosure of a little news will be expelled punishment.　　So I do not understand why the culture department fell in the arms of the developers, do not perform the responsibilities of the cultural sector. Explanation: In fact, Zhenjiang not only without prior permission of the local Antiquities and Archaeology department, but also through the national and provincial cultural relics departments, January 8 this year, the State administration of Cultural relics formally issued a letter to protect the request, January 23, the National Heritage Bureau, the Director of heritage Protection and Lin Liugen, the provincial bureau of Cultural Relics,　　Together to the scene, asking for overall protection, the same night both sides sat down to open a symposium.　　Reporter: At that time participated in this discussion Zhenjiang aspect has what department?　　Lin Liugen: Zhenjiang Bureau of Cultural Affairs, director of the Wen Guan, and they have a deputy mayor, as well as their company's boss, is the city investment Company's boss, he is now the deputy director of the Zhenjiang Construction Bureau.　　Reporter: What was their response then?　　Lin Liugen: Their response that is to say yes, that is, experts put the opinion is right, go back must hurry to do planning, finish planning and then work, start construction. Explanation: However, only 10 days after the symposium, the construction unit began piling on the ruins in view of the destruction intensified, Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau in March again summoned Zhenjiang cultural relics departments and construction units related to hold a special meeting to achieve archaeological first, the overall protection of the consensus.　　But still is one side to agree, while the demolition is not mistaken, today we also contacted the construction unit's head, Zhenjiang Construction Bureau deputy director, City Investment company general manager Curihong.　　Caption Tip: No answer to the phone ... Lin Liugen: theyThe progress is fast, know you want archaeology, they are in the midst of speeding up the pace of their construction, and finally destroyed the time, originally they are hand in the demolition of a house, demolition of ancient buildings, Zhenjiang of the people to law enforcement, they switch to large machinery, in front of your face with large mechanical demolition.　　Just like this, very rampant arrogant. Explanation: "The State administration of cultural relics and the Jiangsu provincial Cultural Relics Bureau has put forward the specific requirements for the protection of the important sites such as the tow slab bridge and the turning position, and request the original low policy-holders as far as possible." Local government departments and construction units also indicated that they would take measures such as adjusting the construction plan to protect the very important relics along the canal. "This is the media coverage we read in 1 this year, but where is the promise?" Where's the protection?　　In the face of a valuable historical relic, just discovered was destroyed by madness, perhaps this should also be recorded in history. Moderator: Director Lin Liugen in an interview, this anger and frustration we have heard very clearly.　　Listen to another cultural relic expert's point of view.　　(short film) Reporter: If the local government has the interest in the words, the Heritage Department, why do not care? Xu (member of the archaeological Expert group of the State Administration of cultural relics): Because the Department of Cultural relics is vested in the director and the mayor, how can he manage it?　　The cultural Relics Department meets in the municipal government, in the organization inside each department meeting, all sits on the last bench, has no say at all.　　Journalist: But is it the responsibility of this department? Xu: Duty is here, so it can't be done, if you're too strong, it does not let dry, for example, this time Zhenjiang ordered, the City side ordered to the cultural Relics Department, you are not allowed to report, reflect, not to the news to disclose out, you have to leak out the news, it immediately can withdraw your job, you move it, others tube it, You don't care what you do, you have no guarantee. Although the law on Cultural relics is available, there are administrative measures, but the biggest problem is that the Department of Cultural Relics has no enforcement power. It only supervision, inspection right, your National Heritage Bureau although the national cultural relics cause, but you go to the province, you have to through the province's cultural relics department to lead, you go to other departments, people ignore you. Now 16 batches of national key Cultural relics Protection Units, there are more than 2000, the more than 2000 is management, the final management and expenditure of funds, all are against the local government. The State administration of cultural relics does not have the power to enforce the law, you said White later. Second, you do not have the financial right, you do not have the cultural relics protection direct funds are in the place, all let the place to bear, so the place can listen to you?　　No way.　　Moderator: One has had a premonition of the tragedy, so watch it happen, see the Cultural Relics Department has no law enforcement power such a reality? Wang Xi Zinc: We used to say that when the demolition, the property law became a "power law", because many times it is no use to shout with the property law, but today, it seems that not only those citizens who have been demolished, we see the cultural Relics department he also said he did not have the right, the "Cultural Relics Act" although the provisions are very clear, but the textIt's no use taking it up. No use, just now I think the members of the archaeological expert Group of the National Heritage Bureau, she has already made it very clear, one is not a law enforcement power, one is not a financial right, we all know that an organ to enforce the law, then first of all you must have the power to enforce the law. For example, the destruction of cultural relics can be stopped, then he does not have the right.　　More importantly, the Heritage Bureau and the Cultural Relics Department, these are the local government financial support, at this time if the local government to promote the project, encounter the protection of cultural relics, then there is no doubt that I think the cultural Relics Department, our cultural relics, I am afraid there is no suspense.　　Moderator: Just now you also take the "cultural Relics Law", the relevant provisions of the criminal law, we all see, why such a clear legal provisions do not have any deterrent force? Wang Xi Zinc: On the one hand, there is no hard right in the implementation process, just as the members of the National Heritage Bureau's expert group said. On the other hand, we have seen some reports it is now said that the local government officials, who have been sanctioned by the Penal Code because of the destruction of cultural relics, have not yet happened, that is to say, the two articles that we have listed, the criminal law of the Cultural Relics Act, and the provisions of the Penal Code, which are in fact still on paper, The real implementation of the words, especially for the local officials, ignoring the protection of cultural relics, in order to protect the immediate interests of the destruction of cultural relics of the real sanctions, has not really been used, since it has not been used, why should I be afraid, why should I be the first? So it cannot produce deterrence.
