Human beings have always had the idea of "hero worship", for those who have made outstanding contributions in history, people have never been stingy with their praise, so there are a lot of literature has always been in the praise of heroes, you can also think that a lot of literature is in the final analysis, " flattering". In addition to literature, people will establish some statues to remember the heroes and great men, especially the hometown of these celebrities, set up a tall and powerful statue is very normal, but this is not absolute, some areas are not the hometown of heroes and great men, but the establishment of a tall and powerful statue, such as this local "Guan Gong statue "

This is a reflection of the fact that the world's most famous man is the king of the world.

Guan Yu, the character Yunchang, a native of Xiexian, Hedong County, today's Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, known as "Bearded Lord", was a famous general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, known for his loyalty and righteousness, and helped Liu Bei to establish the state of Shu. Later, after Guan Yu's death, he became a myth, and was honored as "Lord Guan" in Chinese folklore, and was praised by the imperial courts throughout the ages, and in the Qing Dynasty, he was even honored as "Loyal and Righteous God of Wushu, Spiritually Blessed, Brave and Mighty Guan Sheng Da Di," and revered as The "Sage of Martial Arts", and the Sage of Literature, Confucius, has received endless praise and worship from future generations.

So many areas of China have Guan Di Temple, but when it comes to about the statue, in fact, not so much, mainly to two Guan Gong statue is the most famous, one is the world's largest Guan Gong statue of Shanxi Yuncheng, there is also a Guan Gong Yiyuan Guan Yu holy statue of Jingzhou, but also as a result of this lead to a problem, that is, Guan Gong is not a person in Jingzhou, why Jingzhou want to build such a big statue? The first is that the state of the country is not a country where the people of the country are not the same.

In the Jingzhou ancient city of the southeast side, close to the moat area, there has been a statue of Guan Gong is often discussed, it is the Guan Gong Garden of Guan Gong statue of Guan Gong, Guan Gong Park is a major project of cultural tourism in Jingzhou, Hubei range of efforts to build a 10 billion-level project. Here south of Xueyuan Road, west of Fengtai Road, the planning land reached 228 acres, the total investment of the project reached 1.5 billion yuan, to "righteousness" as the theme, in February 2014, the construction began in 2016, opened the park, set up a world's largest volume of bronze statue of the Duke of Guan, weighing 1,200 tons, holding a 70-meter avenue. Splitting waves, very dominant, is a Jingzhou city key attractions.

So why Jingzhou spent 1.5 billion dollars to build such a big scenic spot? In fact, the main relationship is because Jingzhou and Guan Yu's relationship is really particularly deep. We are familiar with the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", *** there are 120 stories, and 72 of them involve Jingzhou, and most of the stories, Guan Yu is one of the protagonists, and on the Jingzhou has built a career, in fact, many people are affectionately called Guan Yu as "the first Jingzhou mayor", with such a history, natural! The statue of Guan Yu in Jingzhou is not surprising at all.

Secondly, this statue is the opening work of the project of creating "big Jingzhou", the investment company claimed that this is in order to create the old city of Jingzhou five ring 5A in the detonation point, with the culture of Guan Gong as the connotation, integration of the Chu King's cart and horse array, the shore of the Honghu Lake resort, Swanzhou albino dolphins and other high-quality resources, Jingzhou gradually become a famous international tourist destination, therefore, the construction of such an international tourist destination, so the construction of such a statue is not surprising at all. International tourist destinations, therefore, the construction of such a building is no excuse. I wonder how you evaluate such a big statue? Welcome to leave a comment.
