Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, locating on the Ordos Grassland across Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is listed as one of National Key Heritage Conservation Units and National 5-A Tourist Attractions. For promoting historical culture and expanding its influence both at home and abroad, the Ordos Genghis Khan Mausoleum Tourism Zone Administrative Committee(hereafter refers to the Committee for short) plans to reestablish the Genghis Khan’s Bronze Statue inside the Mausoleum for celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Therefore, the Committee decides to solicit the design scheme for Genghis Khan’s Bronze Statue across the world with requirements as follows:
The Bronze Statue shall be established at center of the former Genghis Khan’s Bronze Statue Square . The Square stands for the Heaven’s great donation to mankind as well as glorious life of Genghis Khan. The inner diameter of the Square is 66 meters by symbolizing lifespan of Genghis Khan and the outer diameter is 76 meters by indicating transmission and propagation of Genghis Khan’s spirit. The pines and cypresses around the Square extending outward like an umbrella and connecting with woods and grasslands, symbolize the glory of Genghis Khan’s spirit on earth.
The newly designed bronze statue should reflect an eternal true story of Ordos. When Genghis Khan fought against Western Xia that year, he passed through Ordos by chance. He witnessed the lush grass here and the appearance of Sika Deer and saw it as a treasure land. He was so pleased that his horsewhip fell onto the ground. He stopped the subordinate who tried to pick it up and said to himself: “This is a place where Sika Deer can shelter itself, the Hoopoe Bird can brood its chicks, the declining dynasty can revitalize itself and the white-haired man can seek pleasure of life”.Genghis Khan’s praise of Ordos and story of the falling horsewhip have become well-known from generation to generation.
The newly designed bronze statue may give impression to expedition image of Genghis Khan who rode on horsebacks with detailed demand as follows: it should reshape the image of Genghis Khan as a man of great ambition and become the miniature of his military career; It should reshape the image of Genghis Khan as one historical great man and world giant by pursuing world unification and civilization; it should reshape the image of Genghis Khan as one great politician, strategist and thinker; it should reshape the image of Genghis Khan as the “Proud Son of Heaven”and the first great man in thousand years by his worldly influence.The Bronze Statue should be above 10 meters high.
