Protecting the significance of Xiguan culture

Xiguan folk culture is an important part of Guangzhou culture and a typical representative of Lingnan culture. In Chinese history, Guangzhou is the economic and cultural center of the south, and it is a fusion point where Chinese and foreign cultures meet. The following is my compilation of the protection of Xiguan cultural significance of the relevant information, I hope to help you!

Protection of Xiguan culture significance

Promote Xiguan folk culture, promote the construction of Xiguan characteristics of culture, is a major issue related to the scientific development of Guangzhou city. Xiguan folk culture is an important part of Guangzhou culture and a typical representative of Lingnan culture. In the history of China, Guangzhou is the economic and cultural center of the south, and it is the fusion point where Chinese and foreign cultures meet. Due to its geographical location, Xiguan is also the main birthplace and important development place of Lingnan culture. Therefore, the construction and protection of Xiguan folk culture is of great significance to the continuation and development of Lingnan culture. To this end, the recommendations are as follows:

(a) co-ordination, comprehensively enhance the level of protection and development and utilization of cultural resources

In recent years, the city of Guangzhou has been in the old city renovation, a lot of cultural relics, architectural heritage before they have time to be found in the ruins of the annihilation of the people. It can be seen that the investigation and maintenance of the city's outstanding cultural resources in all districts has been imminent. Such as the repair of Xiguan Daiya and the establishment of protected areas. Guangzhou City, the existing Xiguan Daiya protected area is mainly distributed in the Duo Bao Road, Feng Yuan Road, Longjin West Road, which has a history of more than 100 years Li Wentian Tan Hua Di. In addition, there is also the Xiguan Daiya Architectural Conservation Area located at the south side of Panxi Restaurant in Liwan District, Jinxi. The area extends from Longjin West Road in the east to the former Xiguan Shangzhi Chung in the west; and from Fung Yuen Sha Di Lane 1 in the north to San Lian Zhi Street in the south. This complex includes different periods of different characteristics of the Xiguan large houses. Nevertheless, there are less than 100 existing Xiguan houses, and only about 10 of them have preservation value.

Starting from 2001, the Bawa Hall, together with the Liwan District Archives Bureau and the Cultural Affairs Bureau, carried out a research on the former residences of famous Cantonese opera singers scattered along Enning Road and its nearby neighborhoods. The eight-year research report roughly estimated that there were hundreds of former residences of famous Cantonese opera singers along Enning Road, Duo Bao Road, Feng Yuan Road and Bao Hua Road. However, with the accelerated pace of urban renewal, a large number of undeveloped former residences of actors and actresses have been gradually destroyed. When the former residence of Zhang Youyou, a famous Cantonese opera singer, was facing demolition, the former residence's caretaker, Yip Siu-pak, said in an interview with a reporter: ? The Bawo Hall is like a crab shell, and the former residence of the actor next to it is like a crab claw? Nowadays, it is like a crab shell, and the former residence of the actor is like a crab claw. The crab shell is still there, but the claws are still there. is still there, but those? Crab claws? But they keep turning into ruins and gradually fading out of people's view.

Therefore, for the recognized units of cultural relics at all levels, the government should delineate the scope of protection and construction zones, the implementation of the protection of responsibility and measures; of significant cultural value of the historical neighborhoods and buildings, should be identified and included in the scope of protection in a timely manner, and intensify efforts to save the vitality of the folk art, restoration of important folk architecture and other cultural heritage sites, in order to enhance the level of development and utilization of cultural resources.

(2) Let the Xiguan culture take root in the hearts of the people

In order to protect the Xiguan culture, the municipal government has established the Liwan Museum and the Xiguan Folk Culture Museum, and also preserved a part of the old Xiguan building sites. Nevertheless, the public's awareness of the protection of folk culture still needs to be raised. Some of the former residences of celebrities in the old city, due to the lack of management, have been wantonly destroyed, graffiti phenomenon has occurred. Some of them have locked doors and are overgrown with weeds. Such as the former residence of Bruce Lee in the Enning Road, the door is affixed with a seal, which reads? The former residence of cultural relics? But the white walls are left with black water stains, under the corner of the wall is full of climbing plants. Residents in the neighborhood say that the former residence has never been open to the public. Since the government has circled Bruce Lee's former residence as a key protection heritage in the latest planning and renovation program of En Ning Road, it should carry out construction and renovation and maintenance, and actively publicize and open it in time to enhance the public's awareness of cultural protection.

For Xiguan folk culture, many people only know it exists, but do not understand its history, not to mention the thought of its future. Some are even forgotten. For example, more than a decade ago, it is still common to hear the Xiguan ballad, ? Taipa turn, chrysanthemum round, fried rice cakes, glutinous rice balls, mom told me to see the dragon boat, I do not see, see the chicken, chicken big, stacked to sell, sold how much money? How much did they sell for? 365 cents. Now it seems that I have never heard of it, and children basically do not know how to sing it. In fact, the relevant organizations can publish some books, audio and video materials, record people once oral transmission of Xiguan nursery rhymes, do not let it in the baptism of the years to be forgotten.

Let the Xiguan culture take root in the hearts of the people is not an easy thing to do, it needs the government's attention and the public's **** the same efforts. The relevant departments should establish and improve the guiding mechanism of folk culture and vigorously develop the traditional culture of Xiguan. The government should actively perform its duties, through organizational guidance and policy promotion, with the city and district as the leader, with the street as the focus, with the community, schools, enterprises as the basis, in the form of the masses enjoyable, organization and guidance of the masses to understand the Xiguan culture, and enhance the sense of identity of the local culture.

(C) highlight the Xiguan cultural elements, and strive to enhance the brand effect

Correctly grasp and deal with the critical inheritance and innovation and development, protection and development and utilization, Xiguan culture and Lingnan culture and other basic relations, to promote Xiguan culture, enhance the brand effect of the gate, lead the way, and continue to accumulate the experience of Xiguan cultural development, and enhance the level of the construction of the Lingnan cultural city. Therefore, the relevant departments should establish and improve the guiding mechanism of cultural industry and vigorously develop the cultural industry with Xiguan characteristics. With positive support policies and incentives to guide cultural enterprises and cultural and artistic organizations to accelerate the development of market demand, rich in local characteristics of the cultural industry, especially in the news media, film and television creation, publishing and printing, cultural creativity, tourism and food industry to take the lead in a good demonstration, and hit the cultural brand.

Protecting the Ma Shi Street, take care of the Xiguan culture

? Xiguan characteristics, surely inseparable from the trip bar, hemp stone, human flavor ? It is because the original residents of Xiguan? Stepped on the Ma Shi Street grew up in Ma Shi Street chasing and playing jumping rubber bands, sitting in the doorway of the Ma Shi Street to rest and chat? It is the original residents of Xiguan who grew up on Ma Shi Street, chasing and jumping rubber bands on Ma Shi Street, and sitting in front of Ma Shi Street to chat. Human flavor? The first thing you need to do is to get a good understanding of the culture of the city.

Recently, the Liwan District, Liwan District, Enning Road plot within the street hemp stone board event caused concern among the general public, Lai Chi Wan Construction Command recently made a response, said Enning Road plot within the hemp stone street will be retained in the original style, was dug up the hemp stone will be used in the Enning Road plot. At the same time, Liwan District will be commissioned by the South China University of Technology to establish the archives of the hemp stone, and welcome the general public to the old city renovation work to monitor.

It is said that these stones were originally prepared to be removed and go to the Lychee Bay Chung for landscape improvement. Re-creation of Lai Chi Wan, reappearance? A bay of green water, both sides of the Lychee red? The scenery, so that Guangzhou's Xiguan style has a long history. This is the city government to carry out the transformation of Xiguan historical and cultural district repeatedly declared the good intentions. However, in the Enning Road renovation, such a good intention has been strongly resisted. The reason is that the people after listening to its words, always feel that the Lychee Bay Construction Command is completely? Preaching one thing and doing another?

When the En Ning Road site was demolished, the local residents were asked to sign a permanent relocation contract, asking them to leave their original residence forever, even if they were resettled nearby, they had to leave the neighborhood where they had lived for generations. As we have said, even if the Enning Road neighborhood is built as it was back then as a ? fake antique? Without the original residents of Xiguan, what is the history and culture of Xiguan? A group of outsiders living in this? Fake antiques? The same will not be true for the history and culture of Xiguan!

Ma Shi Street is a resident of the inner streets of a characteristic interface, Ma Shi Street is the two sides of the residents travel, play, leisure place. It only makes sense to keep it between the residents' homes. Leaving the residents, the original inner street of the street surface of hemp stone to do the comprehensive improvement of Lai Chi Wan landscape materials, may not be applicable, even if applicable, in fact, is rich in distinctive color of the public life of the street material into the loss of life of the foundation of the decorative materials, as the discarded railroad sleepers to spell out the same as the wooden trestle, the only remaining significance of the waste and utilization. It is not worth the loss!

The transformation of the old city, it is inevitable to expropriation and demolition, but the original inhabitants of the right to live should be respected enough.? Xiguan characteristics, surely can not be separated from the trip bar, hemp stone, human flavor? It is because the original residents of Xiguan? Stepped on the hemp stone street grew up, in the hemp stone street chasing and jumping rubber bands, sitting in the doorway of the hemp stone street to rest and chat? It is the original residents of Xiguan who grew up on Ma Shi Street, chasing and jumping rubber bands on Ma Shi Street, and sitting in front of Ma Shi Street to chat. Human flavor? It is the culture of Xiguan that gives it its human flavor. This culture is combined with the residents' right to live. For the construction of the Lai Chi Wan scenic spot, to change the living environment of the residents, demolition and relocation of residents rely on the important architectural components of the residential culture, obviously with the old city and historical and cultural preservation of the purpose of the departure.

Although the Enning Road renovation consultant group of experts Tang Guohua also made it clear that ? Not to remove the stone road (i.e., Ma Shi Street) is one of the three basic principles of the historical and cultural district? ,? Demolition of Ma Shi Street is a violation of the "Guangzhou Historical and Cultural City Protection Plan" illegal behavior, is a kind of destruction! But unfortunately, the relevant departments of Liwan District at the beginning did not show full respect for this.

For the public in situ protection of Ma Shi Street requirements, for experts? Ma Shi Street should be retained in situ, take to do landscaping material is not worth the loss? This is an attitude that meets the requirements of the development of new urbanization, but I hope that words must be acted on, the line must be fruitful, but also the public a hemp stone street.
