Many of China's ancient architectural treasures crumbled into dust before Lin
Huiyin and Liang Sicheng began documenting them in the 1930s. The husband and
wife team were among the first preservationists to operate in China, and by far the best
known. Their efforts have since inspired generations of people to speak out for
architecture threatened by the rapid development.
Becoming China's best architectural historians was no easy accomplishment. The
buildings they wanted to save were centuries old, often located in distant parts of the
country. In many cases, they had to journey through dangerous conditions in the
Chinese countryside to reach them. Exploring China's remote areas during the 1930s
meant traveling muddy, poorly maintained(养护) roads by mule (骡子), or on foot.
Inns(客栈) were often dirty, food could be polluted, and there was always risk of
violence from rebels, soldiers and robbers.
Their greatest discovery was the Temple of Buddha's Light, in Wutai County,
Shanxi Province. The breathtaking wooden temple was rebuilt in 857 A.D., making it
the oldest building known in China at the time.
Liang and Lin crawled into the temple's most forbidding, forgotten areas to
determine its age, including one hideaway inhabited by thousands of bats and millions
of bedbugs, covered in dust and littered with dead bats. “In complete darkness and
among awful smell, hardly breathing, with thick masks covering our noses and mouths,
we measured, drew, and photographed with flashlights for several hours. When at last 4 / 19 we came out to take a breath of fresh air, we found hundreds of bedbugs in our bag.
We ourselves had been badly bitten. Yet the importance and unexpectedness of our
find made those the happiest hours of my years hunting for ancient architecture.”
Liang wrote of the experience in an account included in the book “Liang and Lin:
Partners in Exploring China's Architectural Past”.

5.On their way to the ancient buildings in the 1930s,what risks did Liang and Lin
mainly face?
A.Transport and accommodations.
B.Personal safety and weather.
munication with locals and food.
D.Road conditions and funds.
