The Great Hall of the People is a landmark building in Beijing. For many Chinese, it is definitely a very honorable thing to enter the Great Hall of the People.
The Great Hall of the People we see now is magnificent, but do you know? It was indeed very difficult when the Great Hall of the People was first built. We didn't even have a ton of steel bars in reserve before construction started. Later, people often used the word "miracle" when describing the construction process of the Great Hall of the People. So what kind of difficult process did this magnificent building go through during the construction?
The People's Hall, the Chairman's Wishes
One day in April 1945, the Seventh National People's Congress of our country was successfully held. At that time, the People's Republic of my country had not yet been founded. This meeting was held in Yangjialing, Yan'an, the revolutionary base.
At that time, our country was in a critical period of the Liberation War. The long-term war had deprived the country of national power, so the environment for participating in the conference was very difficult. There were 755 delegates attending the meeting, and these more than 700 people could only squeeze into a small temporary venue in Yangjialing, Yan'an.
Although the venue was small, our people's representatives did not care. The difficult environment could not resist the enthusiasm of the participating representatives. Chairman Mao was deeply moved when he saw everyone actively and enthusiastically discussing the development of the party under difficult circumstances. At that time, Chairman Mao secretly made up his mind: when New China is founded, he must build a decent Great Hall for everyone when conditions permit.
Chairman Mao’s wish was not raised at the time of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. As we all know, the overall situation in our country was not very stable at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The border areas were not completely liberated, and forces needed to be mobilized to support the Korean battlefield. Such a situation was not suitable for mobilizing troops and troops. engaged in construction.
The time came to 1958. At this time, the domestic situation had basically stabilized, and production was gradually resuming throughout the country. The situation was very good, and one year later it would be the tenth anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It was a very good idea to build the Great Hall at this time. timing. Chairman Mao's idea was strongly endorsed by Premier Zhou, so under the arrangement of Premier Zhou, the construction of the Great Hall was put on the agenda.
The materials were incomplete, and the whole country responded
. Later, according to the work instructions of the superiors: Before the National Day in 1959, a number of major projects including the Great Hall of Ten Thousand People were to be built in Beijing. still has 14 months to prepare, and the drawings of the Great Hall have not yet been finalized. This task seems impossible to complete.
After the meeting, Premier Zhou appointed Wan Lilai to take charge of the demolition and other related matters. Then famous designers from all over the country received work instructions from their superiors, that is, to go to Beijing to participate in the design of the Great Hall. While
drawings are being designed, the preparation of materials must also be put on the agenda. However, after thousands of miles of preparation, Beijing city can find less than one ton of steel bars. How to start construction in such a situation? After Premier Zhou learned about this issue, he told Wan Li in a hurry, don't worry, the materials will be there as soon as the people arrive.
Wanli didn't understand it at the time, but the busy demolition work left him no time to think too much. Sure enough, not long after, outstanding construction engineers from all over the country rushed to Beijing. Not only did they come, they also brought various construction materials. When Wan Li saw these construction materials placed on the construction site that was about to start, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Thumbs up.
In November 1958, the drawings of the General Assembly Hall were finally finalized after several revisions. This also meant that the real challenge came. How to build the Assembly Hall in less than a year, which seemed impossible. Task.
China’s speed, a miracle in the history of architecture
After learning about China’s construction of the Great Hall, some foreign architects agreed that China’s behavior was simply a fantasy and that it was possible to accomplish such a feat in such a short period of time. Grandiose architecture was impossible. And based on previous precedents from other countries, such a large project will take at least three to five years.
faced these people's views. Premier Zhou did not give any refutation. What he had to do was to speak with facts. The subsequent series of thorough work deployment will be issued, and the main part of the session of the General Hall will be completed according to the plan of May 1959.
The first start of the foundation part is the foundation part. This work is also the most time -consuming part, because the mechanized buildings have not been realized at that time, and a large part of the work must be done by manpower. When the citizens in Beijing heard that the construction hall needs to be manual, there is an interesting phenomenon. A "long dragon" will appear at the door of the construction site of the constructing site of the session at three or 4 o'clock in the morning every morning. Help. With the help of everyone's selfless help, the main body of the hall is completed as scheduled with everyone's selfless help. The next decoration part encountered a problem again. After July, it will gradually enter the rainy season. Some interior decoration work cannot be carried out in the rainy season. This occurs: some decoration work will concentrate in a period of time, so how to do several jobs to do several tasks Do you need to do it at the same time?
problems are not difficult for these ingenious craftsmen of our Greater China. Everyone came up with a wonderful way "air scaffolding". After the establishment of these scaffolds, there was enough space for the workers to allow them to work normally without interfering with each other without interfering with each other. Essence Through everyone's day and night work, all the construction of the General Hall of the Great Hall of 1959 was officially completed. The construction time before and after was only 10 months. After learning the news,
came to the meeting hall after learning the news and saw the session hall that can accommodate the meeting at the same time. Chairman Mao was very satisfied. When the people around him asked Chairman Mao what the hall should be called, Chairman Mao said with a smile: "Since it is a venue built by the people, it is called the Great Hall of the People."
Conclusion
has passed more than 60 years since the completion of the Great Hall of the People. Too many historic moments have occurred in the Great Hall of the People over the years. The growth and growth of New China.
and many people now recall that when the scene of the construction hall was still surging. From the first ton of steel to the world's world -renowned venues, its construction process reflected not only the ability and speed of the Chinese, but also the cohesion of our Chinese people and the spirit of not being afraid of difficulties!
