Chapter 111 "Jianmu" together with military maps

Liang Sicheng quickly organized personnel, and in the shortest time, compiled the "Brief Catalog of National Important Cultural Relics and Buildings". In this thick manual, Liang Sicheng added four circles under the entries of ancient buildings such as the Forbidden City, Dunhuang, Yungang, Longmen, and Confucius Temple, which everyone jokingly called "four-star generals", followed by three circles. , two circles, and one circle.There are more than 450 articles in the whole book, and nearly 200 articles are highlighted.Each entry is accompanied by the detailed location of the cultural relic building, the nature of the cultural relic, the age of construction and reconstruction, as well as its significance and value.

Lin Huiyin reviewed the entries in the whole book one by one, and specially reminded in the description on the title page: "The main purpose of this brief list is for the People's Liberation Army to fight and take over and protect cultural relics." The "Jianmu" was distributed to the vast number of commanders and fighters who liberated the whole of China, and together with the military map, it became a must-have for their operations.This can be regarded as the earliest cultural relics protection initiative of the Communist Party of China, and it is also the earliest campaign to popularize knowledge about cultural relics protection.

For the first time, the soldiers who have fought north and south for many years, covered with bullet marks and dust, connected the battle they commanded with cultural relics and culture, and their pride as victors and conquerors arose spontaneously. Many years later, some of them have held high positions and traveled all over the world.But when they think back to the war years of "golden horses and iron horses, swallowing thousands of miles like tigers", they will also fondly recall the "historical sites" preserved under their own guns somewhere. After the liberation of the whole country, this booklet was revised and became the "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Catalogue", which was promulgated by the State Council.It provides guidance and basis for the investigation, protection and research of cultural relics and buildings across the country.

In March 1949, Lin Huiyin was hired by Tsinghua University as a first-class professor in the Department of Architecture. In May 1949, Liang Sicheng was appointed as the deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Urban Planning Commission, and Lin Huiyin was appointed as a member of the committee. In August 1949, Liang Sicheng was appointed as a member of the national flag and national emblem selection review committee. In September 1949, Lin Huiyin and 10 teachers from Tsinghua University accepted the task of designing the national emblem of the People's Republic of China. On September 30, 1949, the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference passed a proposal to build the Monument to the People's Heroes. In the evening of that day, Chairman Mao Zedong held a foundation stone laying ceremony for the monument in Tiananmen Square.Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin are members of the Monument Construction Committee.

In just a few months, the tremendous changes in social life are simply dizzying.In the past few months, Lin Huiyin's life has also undergone major changes. She was hired as a first-class professor at Tsinghua University, where she lectured on the course "History of Chinese Architecture" and offered special courses such as "Introduction to Housing" for graduate students.She became a member of the Beijing Urban Planning Commission, a member of the National Emblem Design Team of the People's Republic of China, and a member of the Construction Committee of the Monument to the People's Heroes.She is also a representative of the first Beijing Municipal People's Congress and a representative of the National Cultural Congress... All these things happened so quickly that it is impossible to explain. The acquisition of these honors and "titles" was completely beyond her expectations, but it was also She couldn't help being surprised and moved.

What makes her even more excited is that she finally looks forward to the arrival of an ideal era. The new regime that led China into this era promises to eliminate all exploitation and oppression, clean up all darkness and ugliness, allow the general public to live a good life, and allow the humiliated country to stand up again. How could she not rejoice and embrace her!
