Overseas network January 18th According to Korean media KBS News reported on the 16th, South Korea's Gyeongju City invested 51 billion won (about 310 million yuan) huge sums of money to restore a local bridge with a thousand years of history. Unexpectedly, the old bridge was accused of copying the Huilong Bridge built in the Qing Dynasty in Hunan Province, China. In this regard, KBS criticized the local practice "sloppy, absurd."
Rebuilt Yuejing Bridge
According to the report, Gyeongsangbuk-do Gyeongju City is known as the “millennial ancient capital” in Korea. There is a monthly net bridge in the area, built in the 8th century, unified Silla era, directly connected to the Silla Palace.
Gyeongju City invested a total of 51 billion won in 10 years to restore this ancient bridge.
South Korean tourists criticized the ancient bridge "like the new one."
However, the money has cost a lot, but the problem has been thrown out by the media.
First of all, in the process of research, the local authorities ignored the precious literature that was not much.
The left side is the arch bridge and the right side is the beam bridge.
KBS News pointed out that after the visit to the Yuejing Bridge, the literati of the Korean Goryeo Dynasty, Jin Keji, left the poem "虹桥倒影照蚊川". Judging from the expression of "Hongqiao" in the verse, the Yuejing Bridge should be an arch bridge structure, but after restoration, it becomes a beam bridge structure.

Secondly, the restored Yuejing Bridge seems to have copied the 18th century Huilong Bridge. Huilong Bridge, located in Shaoyang County, Hunan Province, China, was built in the Qing Dynasty (1700s).
Korean professor accused "recovering like a TV show."
Li Xifeng, an emeritus professor at the Department of Architecture at the Central University of Korea, pointed out unceremoniously that “reconstruction is like the location of a TV series. They want to be as majestic as possible, so as to attract tourists.”
In addition, near the Moon Bridge, there should be a “East Palace and Moon Pond”, which is the site of the Palace of the Silla Palace. At present, there is no relevant literature, and it is even impossible to know the original architectural style. However, the local government plans to build a pavilion and has passed the examination and approval.
Restored Yuejing Bridge
In this regard, Jiang Youbang, the former director of the Gyeongju Museum in the country, accused him of "not even preparing for the examination, so how can future generations study?"
The report concludes that if the restoration is carried out without any research, it will not only be detrimental to the preservation of the original cultural relics, but also damage the status of the local cultural heritage. (Compile / Overseas Network Liu Qiang)
