Protection and Development of Chengjiang Ancient City

Due to the war, the Cultural Revolution and the neglect of context and regionality in the process of urban development, the style and features of the ancient city have been seriously damaged. The concrete manifestations are as follows: on the one hand, the building is seriously damaged. Among the traditional buildings in the old city, there are only 20 buildings with good style and quality, and the average quality is close to the number of poor quality and serious damage, all around 100 buildings. Among non-traditional buildings, simple and similar two-story and three-story buildings built in the past twenty years account for a large proportion, which is extremely unfavorable to the formation of traditional features in the old city in the future. However, in recent years, a large number of new multi-storey buildings are quite different from the original traditional buildings in the old city, and their styles are extremely uncoordinated. On the other hand, the current population density is too high, and the aging trend of population structure is also obvious. Most of the young people moved into the new city, and the old city gradually lost its vitality, showing a declining trend. In view of the above situation, in the development process of the old city, we can realize active protection through renewal, rather than passive static protection, combine inheritance with innovation, upgrade the quality and competitiveness of the city through the renewal and transformation of the old city, and realize the development of urban environmental quality and urban culture. Chengjiang County is located in the middle of Yunnan Province, on the north bank of Fuxian Lake, 52 kilometers away from the provincial capital Kunming. The pre-Qin Dynasty belonged to Yunnan, and Yuyuan County was established in the second year of Yuanfeng in the Western Han Dynasty (AD 286). In the Tang Dynasty, it was renamed Heyang County in Nanzhao, and it was promoted to Chengjiang Road in the 13th year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1276). The Ming and Qing Dynasties were ruled by Chengjiang, which governed three counties and two states (after Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, it was two counties and two states). It is an important political, economic and cultural center in central Yunnan. In the second year of the Republic of China (AD 19 13), the abandoned government was changed to a county.

Lu Feng Town is only 60 kilometers away from Kunming, with convenient transportation. At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, there was a waterway from Chengnanmen Wharf to Xingyun Lake via Fuxian Lake, which connected the traffic of Jiangchuan, Huaning and Jianshui. Business travel in the city, mixed soil gathered, once the economy was quite prosperous. In the middle of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Sun Yat-sen University moved to Chengjiang for two years, which had a positive impact on Chengjiang's economy and culture. At that time, the cultivation of flue-cured tobacco along Fuxian Lake promoted the economic development of Chengjiang, and Liu Feng Town prospered again.

Whenever there is prosperity, there will be a big family and a lot of construction activities. Up to now, Chengjiang still has the old houses of four families in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Although Lu Feng Town is small in scale, there are many high-size and exquisite buildings in the city.
