Hubei giant Guan Gong statue accused of violating experts: rectification cannot be one size fits all

Guan Gong "Leaves" A 57-meter giant Guan Gong statue in Jingzhou, Hubei Province accused of violation of regulations and will be moved

　　CCTV News, Beijing, November 17 (Chang Yafei, headquartered CCTV reporter) On June 17, 2016, Guan Gongyi Garden in Jingzhou, Hubei opened. Under the statue of Guan Gong with a clear height of 48 meters is a two-story building. As the Guan Gong Cultural Exhibition Center, the park declared that the Guan Gong statue was "the new landmark of Jingzhou tourism". I wanted to use the Yi Park to play the card of "Guan Gong Culture" and sing cultural tourism. However, more than four years have passed. The citizens did not buy it.

In addition, the Guan Gong Cultural Exhibition Center opened without fire inspection and the base of the Guan Gong statue was sinking.

　　On October 8, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development reported that the giant statue of Guan Gong built within the historical urban area of ​​the ancient city in Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, was 57.3 meters high and violated the relevant provisions of the approved "Jingzhou Historic and Cultural City Protection Plan" and destroyed In view of the features and historical context of the ancient city, rectification is required.

On the 17th, the Jingzhou Municipal Government of Hubei issued a notice stating that the general direction of the rectification of the Guan Gong statue has been determined. Experts in various fields are currently being invited to formulate a relocation plan in accordance with laws and regulations and scientifically.

　　The statue of Guan Gong in the Yiyuan Garden in Jingzhou, Hubei is located 300 meters outside the ancient city of Jingzhou. According to the staff of the Jingzhou City Planning Bureau, the height of the building where the statue is located is limited to a maximum of 24 meters.

The statue of Guan Gong with a clear height of 48 meters and the base of 57.3 meters obviously violated the relevant regulations of the "Jingzhou Historic and Cultural City Protection Plan."

　　Qin Jun, Deputy Director of the Bureau of Natural Resources and Planning of Jingzhou City, Hubei: Articles 2 to 6 of Chapter 6 of the "Jingzhou Historic and Cultural City Conservation Plan" mainly limit the height of the building and limit the height of the cornice. At that time, we still had an understanding of this Vague, I think that there must be a clear height limit for buildings, and no clear regulations for sculptures. Looking at it now, the statue of Guan Gong is still too big and tall.

　　It is understood that in recent years, the Jingzhou city government wants to use tourism to promote local economic development. After investigation, they found that places with Chinese people are related to public heat, and Guan Gong has a deep relationship with Jingzhou. Therefore, the local government decided to develop tourism. Time to play the Guan Gong card.

　　Zhang Hong, deputy director of the Hubei Jingzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism: Maybe there was the impulse and tendency to go to the Guinness Book of Records at that time. Under such circumstances, the design and planning became more and more important.

　　Today, the Guan Gong Yi Garden has been open for business for four years. The Guan Gong Statue is the core landscape of the scenic area to attract tourists, but the business situation is not very satisfactory, with a total income of less than 13 million yuan.

In the construction, the Guan Gong statue alone cost 172.9 million, which is far from the initial expectations of the local government.

　　Zhang Hong: Whether it is from our cultural and tourism department or our Jingzhou city, we earnestly learn (lessons) from making such mistakes in the future, and at the same time draw inferences about it.

As for the handling of the Guan Gongyi Garden and the Guan Gong statue, the municipal party committee and the municipal government are also very cautious and are also demonstrating in many ways. At the same time, they are also finding a more reasonable way to solve this problem in accordance with the relevant requirements of the central and ministries.

　　After receiving a notification from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, this huge statue, which was built with huge amounts of money, is now facing rectification.

How to coordinate protection and development, inheritance and innovation is testing the local management wisdom.

At present, the Guan Gong Cultural Exhibition Center in Jingzhou Guan Gongyi Garden has been closed.

So is the giant Guan Gong statue demolished or relocated?

Wang Yi, an expert from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and director of the Urban Management Research Center of Yangzhou University, believes that the key depends on whether the existence of the statue violates the mandatory conditions of the local urban construction plan and the protection plan of historical and cultural cities. It must be tailored to local conditions and specific issues must be analyzed in detail.

　　Wang Yi: According to the requirements of the local city master plan at that time, if the mandatory conditions of the city plan are violated, it is generally speaking that the plan cannot be tolerated and the implementation of the plan has been affected. This situation must be demolished.

If it can be removed to eliminate the impact on the planning, it is also possible. Therefore, for the investigation and punishment of illegal construction, I suggest that different situations should be distinguished. It is more practical to adopt different punishment methods and cannot be used across the board.

From the perspective of the overall development of Jingzhou, whether it is demolishing or relocation, it will cause a relatively large economic loss. It is the best policy to relocate it to a place that meets the planning and the protection of historical and cultural cities.

　　The builder Jingzhou Tourism Investment and Development Group Co., Ltd. is a state-owned enterprise. Regardless of whether the statue is demolished, moved or otherwise handled, who will pay for the state-owned assets wasted in construction and rectification is also the local government's lack of prior supervision and subsequent processing. The huge problem.

In fact, the case of Jingzhou, Hubei is not an exception. Previously, the giant statue of Guan Gong constructed illegally in Jiangjun Mountain, Zhaoqing, Guangdong, and the giant bronze statue of Liu Zongyuan constructed illegally in Liuzhou, Guangxi were forcibly demolished, causing huge waste.

Under the current circumstances, Wang Yi suggested that the development of tourism and the construction of urban landmarks in various places must be carried out in accordance with the law under the premise of the legal system, and do not "compensate the wife and break the army."

　　Wang Yi: First of all, it should be carried out in accordance with the law, and the necessary procedures must be done. Only in this way, the construction of urban landmarks and the development of urban tourism within the scope of the law allow it to be avoided in China now and in the future. The most important system and foundation for generating violations of regulations like Guan Gong.
