Chapter 115 Tiananmen Square in the National Emblem

Liang Sicheng disagreed with using the Tiananmen pattern in the national emblem.He believes that the pattern on the national emblem should be the embodiment of a country's spiritual symbol. How can it be painted on an ancient building? Besides, Huabiao and Tiananmen Square have always been symbols of feudal imperial power. How can they become symbols of people's power? Zhang Ding is known as the number one design expert in the party. His reason is that Tiananmen is the birthplace of the May Fourth Movement, marking the beginning of the new democratic revolution; Tiananmen is also the place where the founding ceremony was held, marking the beginning of the new democratic revolution victory.

Zhang Ding's opinion was supported, and Zhou Enlai made it clear: "There must be Tiananmen Square in the national emblem." According to the requirements of Zhou Enlai and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, two design teams from Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts redesigned the national emblem. The requirements were clarified, and Lin Huiyin and the team started to run at high speed. In terms of the strength of basic technologies such as surveying and mapping, Tsinghua University's Department of Construction clearly has obvious advantages.

Liang Sicheng surveyed and mapped Tiananmen and the Forbidden City as early as the 1930s. They found out the plan, elevation and section of Tiananmen that were drawn by the Construction Society. become. Huiyin suggested: In the national emblem, Tiananmen Square should be stylized and patterned by elevation, rather than landscape painting.She also suggested that the two Chinese watches in front of Tiananmen Square should be distanced to the left and right, which not only increases the overall sense of openness, but also makes the composition more stable. Huiyin and the design team drew countless sketches and discussed together countless times.Finally, they gave up the idea of ​​using streamers as decoration in the pattern, making the pattern look calm and solemn.They also considered production problems, too complicated patterns and colors would be technically difficult to produce, so they gave up the idea of ​​using multiple colors and only used gold and red.This is the color that symbolizes auspiciousness and festiveness for thousands of years in our country. The use of these two colors is not only magnificent, solemn and beautiful, but also eye-catching and generous, with distinct national characteristics.

The thinking is getting clearer and the plan is getting more and more perfect. Every part has been deliberated and deliberated, and every detail has been revised and revised.They are strict with themselves and perfect in their plans. The day when the national emblem was submitted for review was getting closer, and Huiyin and Sicheng worked all night for several days.There are blueprints everywhere in their house, and there is almost no place to step down.Huiyin leaned on the pillow and drew on the twig on the bed. He was so tired that he couldn't support it, so he lay down to breathe for a while, then got up and continued to draw.Whenever there are people at home, she always uses self-mockery and laughter to cover up her illness and poverty.

Everyone in the group was up for it.At this moment, their national emblem is their belief and life. The pattern of the national emblem is finished, and it is so solemn and beautiful that it catches the eye.The car pulled away the made model of the national emblem, and Huiyin and Sicheng fell ill in peace. In front of Premier Zhou Enlai and the National Emblem Review Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, there are two national emblem designs designed by Tsinghua University and the Central Academy of Fine Arts. In the center of the national emblem of Tsinghua University is the golden embossed elevation of Tiananmen Square. Above Tiananmen Square are five golden embossed five-pointed stars. The golden five-stars line the red background, like an overwhelming five-star red flag; the periphery of the pattern is surrounded by The golden rice ears and gears are embossed, and the rice ears and gears are connected by a big red ribbon.The whole pattern is left-right symmetrical and consists of two colors of gold and red.

On the national emblem of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the image of Tiananmen has a strong sense of perspective, presenting a scene from small to large and from high to low from near to far.There are blue sky, yellow glazed tiles and red walls in the distance; there are white Huabiao and white Jinshui Bridge nearby.
