The New Landmark of Daming Palace National Heritage Park

On the eve of the opening of Daming Palace National Heritage Park, an international seminar on "Daming Palace-World Heritage" was held at Danfengmen Site of Daming Palace yesterday. Nearly 50 experts and scholars from all over the world in the field of cultural heritage protection and archaeology gathered in Daming Palace to discuss heritage protection and sustainable development.

The conference was jointly sponsored by Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Oxford University, Oxford Archaeological Foundation and Daming Palace Site Protection Office. At the seminar, experts from Britain, the United States, Spain and other countries and experts and scholars in the field of heritage protection in China discussed topics such as Daming Palace archaeological site, Daming Palace heritage value, site park and archaeological work.

About the open garden—

The ruins park will become a new symbol of the ancient capital of the Millennium.

The long-standing problem of site protection has finally been solved permanently. In the past, crowded shanty towns with dense sites in the village were demolished and mountains of garbage were cleaned up. The site area has been successfully separated from the urban construction area and living area ... Experts set foot on the site of Daming Palace and deeply felt that the old look here was changed.

"Daming Palace National Heritage Park will become a new urban area with the most beautiful living environment and the highest cultural taste, and become an important symbol and highlight of Xi 'an New, the ancient capital of the Millennium. "Zhang Wen, deputy director of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau, said that Daming Palace National Heritage Park has relocated more than 654.38+million residents within 3.5 square kilometers, and implemented a large number of site protection projects and environmental remediation projects, which has improved the level of site protection and greatly improved the site protection environment and urban appearance, setting an example for the protection of major sites in the country.

Zheng Yulin, director of the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, said that the solid and effective development of a series of archaeological work, protection and exhibition has opened a new chapter in the protection and utilization of Xi 'an Da site, which has turned the site from a mess in the city into a region with rich cultural atmosphere and beautiful environment in the city. "The protection and utilization of cultural heritage has improved the appearance of the city and benefited the local people."

During the seminar, experts and scholars such as the School of Archaeology of Oxford University and the Oxford Archaeological Foundation introduced the whole process of participating in the Daming Palace project with personal experience, and interpreted the Daming Palace National Heritage Park from a western perspective. They said that the construction of Daming Palace National Heritage Park is a comprehensive and large-scale beneficial exploration for the protection and utilization of cultural relics in China. Combining Chinese and western culture, and combining the protection methods of Chinese and foreign cultural heritage, we strive to comprehensively, stereoscopically and vividly display the overall features of Daming Palace, a thousand-year-old site.

About archaeology—

"Daming Palace site will be excavated for at least 200 years"

"After the opening of the ruins park, the archaeological work will not end, but a planned and step-by-step new beginning." As an expert in the archaeological excavation of Daming Palace, An Jiayao, director of Xi 'an Research Office of the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that at present, the excavation area of Daming Palace site has reached 1%, and there is still a lot of work to be done, especially between Hanyuan Hall and Zhengxuan Hall, which will be a focus of archaeological work in the future.

An Jiayao said that the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy was discovered in 1748, and the Peace Palace in Nara, Japan was officially excavated in 1959, and it is planned to be excavated for another 200 years. "So the site of Daming Palace has to be excavated for at least 200 years, which is still a very conservative estimate."

About applying for World Heritage-

What Daming Palace needs more is rationality.

"Daming Palace should not fall into the strange circle of' Chinese-style World Heritage Application'." Ge, editor-in-chief of Cultural Relics Publishing House, called for a city's cultural soft power to be "hard" and its historical and cultural sites to be "alive". What Daming Palace needs more is rationality under the climax of the national application for World Heritage.

He believes that Daming Palace, as a cultural heritage, has existed for thousands of years and gradually formed a unified cognition in academic research. The starting point of applying for world heritage is culture, which is the inheritance thought infiltrated in cultural heritage. Daming Palace has its own indelible culture. You don't need to rely on the application to improve your influence, and turn the application into the only theme. On the contrary, it will lose the information of China's ancient cultural beliefs, and make modern protection and operation ideas barren and wither.

Daming Palace National Heritage Park will officially open on June 1 day to welcome guests. After the opening of the park, the area of more than 3,000 mu is open to the public free of charge, and only the densely populated area in the middle part is the ticketing area, and the one-vote system is implemented.

The toll area is mainly for the protection and display of cultural relics, and tickets will be charged to tourists.

After the completion of Daming Palace National Heritage Park, the original historical appearance of Daming Palace in Tang Dynasty was basically restored, and the elements of tourism were embodied on the basis of cultural relics protection. It can bring tourists back to the era of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and make people feel the cultural glory of the Tang Dynasty.

Present the "authenticity" and "integrity" of historical and cultural forms

It not only retains the original topography and site distribution of Daming Palace, but also makes Xi 'an's urban public space surging. After the opening of 201010/park, a modern urban demonstration new district with complete functions, beautiful environment and distinctive historical and cultural characteristics will be presented to the world with an "original ecology" and "complete" historical and cultural form.

The protection and renovation of Daming Palace site, a major cultural project and people's livelihood project that benefited the broad masses of people in Daobei, was officially launched; The demolition, planning and construction of Daming Palace National Heritage Park are progressing steadily and nervously. When completed, Daming Palace National Heritage Park will become the largest city center park in Xi.

Opening a garden is a new starting point for archaeological work.

"Archaeology is a very rigorous discipline, with strict procedures and more funds and time. After the site park is opened to the outside world, the archaeological work of Daming Palace will continue uninterrupted. " Sun Fuxi, deputy director of xi Cultural Relics Bureau, said: "The opening of the park is a new beginning. Archaeological work is not over, but a planned and step-by-step start. "

It is understood that during the construction process, every time the staff digs one meter, it is necessary to remove several meters of garbage dumps. "This is a great cause that really benefits the local people." A foreign tourist who has been to the site of Daming Palace lamented. Nowadays, crowded shanty towns have been demolished, piles of garbage have been cleared, people in the ruins have moved into new homes with bright windows, and the appearance of the city has been improved. The most important thing is that the quality of life of the people in the original address has been greatly improved.
