Xinhua, Taiyuan, July 2 (Reporter Hu Jian) The cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty collapsed due to heavy rain and wind. The cultural relics department of Taigu District, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province responded on the 2nd that it has used mechanical power to transport large cultural relic components back to preservation.
At around 13:30 on June 29, the gusty winds in the Taigu area and the hail in the rainstorm brought the maximum wind speed to 21.1 meters per second (level 8). The stone pillars of the arch of the Liu family's cemetery in the Qing Dynasty, located 500 meters north of Beiliumen Village, Shuixiu Township, Taigu District, were broken and collapsed.
After this matter was reported by media video, it caused a heated discussion on the Internet.
After that, the Taigu District Committee and the district government immediately arranged the staff of the local cultural and tourism bureau, Shuixiu Township and Beiliumen Village to rush to the scene for the first time and actively handle it.
On the afternoon of the same day, after the communication and negotiation between the cultural and tourism bureaus, townships, and villages in Taigu District, Jinzhong City and the owner of the arch, the owner of the arch agreed to donate the components of the arch to the cemetery to the cultural relics department of the district government.
In order to ensure that the arch building components are not lost, the Cultural Relics Bureau of the district organized cultural relics professionals to transport the small components back overnight and save them in another place. On June 30, the cultural relics department of Taigu District organized professionals to use mechanical power to safely transport all large-scale components from the ground under the premise of protecting cultural relic components.
