Destruction of cultural relics
There are many ways to destroy cultural relics. The following are some common acts: - ** In terms of direct damage ** - ** Violent destruction **: For example, using tools to hit or smash the cultural relics, causing irreparable damage such as cracks and incompleteness. For example, some historical buildings might be destroyed by people with tools such as sledgehammers. - ** Damage caused by improper repair **: Damage caused to cultural relics due to lack of professional knowledge or wrong operation during the restoration process of cultural relics. For example, when repairing the unearthed silk fabric, due to improper papering operation, the front side with exquisite patterns would be pasted inside, and the back side would face outwards; the clothes that had begun to rot would be directly smeared with softening agent, which would eventually lead to serious consequences such as blackening, hardening, and inability to unfold the clothes. - ** Damage caused by incorrect installation of protective facilities **: When setting up protective devices for cultural relics, damage was caused due to lack of consideration. For example, after lightning protection facilities were installed on the top of the Golden Hall of Wudang Mountain, thunderstorms became more frequent and damaged the Golden Hall more seriously, causing problems such as damage to the Golden Hall, the death of ancient pines, and the disappearance of wonders. - ** Damage during lifting and transportation **: When lifting or transporting large cultural relics, the cultural relics are damaged due to operational errors. For example, during the lifting process of the Cangzhou Iron Lion, its chin, tail, left hind foot, and right front foot were damaged, and 42 parts of its body were broken. The subsequent reinforcement operation also accelerated the fracture of the lion's legs because of the improper use of materials. - ** Other acts of sabotage ** - The act of carving: using all kinds of hard objects (such as pens, sharp stones, various metals, etc.) to carve and chisel on cultural relics and historical sites, just like some tourists leaving "so-and-so visited here" doodles or carvings on historical sites, causing cultural relics to be scarred. - ** Defilement behavior **: smearing on cultural relics and famous historical sites, such as posting advertisements and promotional materials on ancient buildings, or splashing dirt and scribbling on ancient buildings. - ** Privately improper operation **: Attacking nails on ancient buildings to hang objects, and copying inscriptions on ancient monuments without permission will also cause damage to cultural relics and historical sites. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
