A typo at Lanzhou Railway Station has been around for 71 years, was it intentional or unintentional?

Many people now often forget characters when they pick up a pen, but can you imagine that in official place there are indeed typos. And this typo is a local landmark, this kind of thing, one might say, out of ordinary, but there are always such problems in art industry, because art does not adhere to certain norms and rules.

So is this phenomenon due to artistic reasons, intentional or unintentional? We can't say yet. Follow camera steps to see what the place is and see if these typos are intentional?

(1) Lanzhou Railway Station

First, I want to investigate origin of this incident, so I shouldn't miss Lanzhou City. It seems that everyone in Lanzhou is familiar with him. Think carefully, is it true that every city has Lanzhou ramen Ta Lanzhou.

Yes, that's right, but locals don't admit that they sell ramen, they say they sell beef noodles. Haha, back to our topic, don't interrupt. The geographical position of entire city is horizontally wide and vertically narrow, and various resources in area are very rich.

Besides beef noodles, most famous thing in this city is its railway station. Every year, tourists and friends from all over country take pictures in front of station, it seems that this can happen at other stations, but frequency of occurrence here is highest.

Why is this happening? This is because name of station here - "Lanzhou" is spelled wrong. The typos of these two characters are different. Firstly, first character is "Doe" character, consisting of two dots and three at bottom.

However, on sign hanging at train station, first line of "three" is longest, and next two lines get shorter and shorter, which looks very ridiculous and different. The second word is not as outrageous as first, but it can also make people see mistake right away.

The final stroke of word "Zhou" was originally a vertical design, but it was written as a vertical hook that looks like an added small dot. Such a mistake made by government has caused many netizens to get off bus as they pass through city and come to check in because of name. Because of this, as you know, let's see together today why such an error occurs?

(2) Zhang Banyan

These two words were written by an old gentleman. By way, this elderly gentleman has a lot to say. First of all, this gentleman's life can be described as extremely difficult. He was born at end of Qing Dynasty, and he was indeed born into a wealthy family. His father sent him to study for several years, and he was also exposed to decadent politics of Qing Dynasty when he was young. .

But before release, great powers began carving up China. His family was also forced to put their studies on hold due to sudden changes and started looking for work locally. Due to fact that he is good at calligraphy, he sent his resume to many newspapers, but in end he failed, and then he entered a state institution and prepared documents for officials.

Even an unsatisfactory life did not break his love for calligraphy. All these years he continued to study calligraphy and apply it in his work, not wanting to relax.

It was because of his insistent quality that he met a noble man in his life. One calligrapher accidentally saw his documents and came to this city to look for him, got along with him and recognized him as his student.

Thus, a deep relationship developed between master and student. He followed master to actively engage in calligraphy and learned many new things that he could not touch.

But life won't always be this good. During Cultural Revolution, he was exploited and oppressed because of his calligraphy. Doing hard work every day, he was rejected by people, but even in such a difficult situation, he never thought about changing his career.

(3) Write name of station

Later, after Lanzhou Railway Station was built, government wanted to find a person with good calligraphy to write his name on railway station, and found this old man. When he first received this task, it can be said that he attached great importance to it. Because this issue is not only a confirmation of him personally, but also has a profound effect on Lanzhou.

For this reason, he read many ancient books, trying to find a special way of writing in Lanzhou to distinguish it from other cities. But after a long search, only innovative writing method is traditional Chinese characters. At that time, New China had just been created and simplified characters were being promoted, so he was forced to abandon this plan.

Finally, after much research combined with local environment, after much research combined with local environment. He decided to change word "Lanzhou" to its current form. The first horizontal line should be longest to match relatively wide geographic location of area. The last word "state" with a small dot should symbolize that locals will never give up when faced with difficulties. Spiritual nature.

Therefore, these two words have been used for so many years, and he himself is a private, and continues to focus on his career. He has been recognized by many departments in the country, and even in diplomatic activities, his work is also recognized. He will be passed on to foreign friends as a precious gift.

We also see from this incident that there may be a deeper meaning behind everything.
