Deshou Palace site excavation and protection of 4 difficulties
“This is a place with stories.”
Zhuo Jun, member of the party group and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Landscape Cultural Relics, said that the site of Deshou Palace is indispensable to tell the story of Hangzhou well.
In the eighth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1138), the Southern Song regime officially made Hangzhou its capital. In the following 800 years, the spirit, blood and soul of the city were engraved with “the memory of the Southern Song Dynasty”.
In 2021, the national “Hundred Archaeological Discoveries in a Hundred Years” was announced, and the site of Lin ‘an City and the site of Imperial Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty in Hangzhou were on the list.
“Deshou Palace Site Project, as the royal palace site with the highest level, the largest archaeological excavation area, the most complete restoration research and open to the public in Lin ‘an City of the Southern Song Dynasty, is the most authentic site museum that displays the site and reproduces the architectural style of the Southern Song Dynasty; For the first time, on the basis of restoration research, the site was comprehensively and systematically displayed and interpreted by digital means; It is the first time to actively explore the prevention, protection and monitoring of large-scale systematic diseases in soil sites in humid areas; For the first time, the historical and cultural panorama of the Southern Song Dynasty was comprehensively and systematically displayed … “Zhuo Jun introduced.
So many “firsts” and “firsts” have also decided that the Deshou Palace project has attracted much attention. According to statistics, in this land, many relics such as large palace foundation, brick roads, rockery foundations, drainage facilities, etc. have been discovered, and 6,696 pieces (groups) of cultural relics from various periods have been unearthed, and more than 3,000 pieces (groups) have been registered, including ceramics, brick-and-tile ridged animals, animal bones and so on. The site of Deshou Palace, the site of Imperial Street in Southern Song Dynasty in Yanguanxiang and the site of the kiln in Tiger Cave, which were rated as the top ten archaeological discoveries in China in the year, have enriched the connotation of the site of Lin ‘an City in Southern Song Dynasty, a century-old archaeological discovery in China.
In 2020, after the municipal party committee and municipal government deployed and started the Deshou Palace project, the Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture and Culture and Shangcheng District jointly set up a special work class and held a groundbreaking ceremony in December of the same year. The construction time was tight, the task was heavy and the difficulty was great. These are the key words. Zhuo Jun said that the scale of the Deshou Palace project is not large, but it focuses on almost all the problems of cultural relics protection and exhibition-how to solve the world-wide problem of disease prevention and control of earthen sites in humid areas? How to solve the problem of poor visibility of earth sites? How to fully display the culture of Southern Song Dynasty with limited exhibition area? ….. These are all difficulties and difficulties to lead the team to overcome.
Today, the protection and exhibition project of Deshou Palace site was successfully completed and opened to the public on November 18th. It is reported that the total land area of the project is about 21,367 square meters and the construction area is about 12,321 square meters. The Deshou Palace Ruins Museum in the Southern Song Dynasty is the first important window to systematically explain the historical culture and cultural heritage of the Southern Song Dynasty and to protect and display the Song rhyme culture on a large scale. It will not only add new members to the ruins museum in China, but also represent Hangzhou’s “new move” in public cultural services in an international metropolis.
