Solutions for Historic District Protection

Since 2008, under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, China Culture Newspaper and China Cultural Relics Newspaper have co-sponsored four sessions of "Famous Historical and Cultural Streets of China" selection and promotion activities, and have successively selected 40 Famous Historical and Cultural Streets of China, including the Qingmingqiao Ancient Canal Neighborhood in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.

Establishing a management and protection system is an emerging issue

The State Administration of Cultural Heritage has always attached great importance to the protection of historic and cultural districts, and in recent years, in conjunction with the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, combined with the characteristics of cultural heritage protection work, a series of fruitful work, including increasing the protection of immovable cultural relics and the surrounding historical environment and landscape of historic and cultural districts; actively protect the historical environment and cultural relics; and actively protect the function of the city.

Challenges to the protection of historic districts

First of all, the historic and cultural streets are different from individual cultural relics or historic and cultural cities, towns and villages, which is a new initiative of the state in recent years to further improve the protection of the nation's historical and cultural heritage, which requires that the neighborhood management team not only understands the protection of cultural relics and neighborhoods, but also the coordination of the city management, industry and commerce, taxation, public security and other units.

Secondly, the degree of importance attached to the protection of buildings around the historic district needs to be strengthened, and some historic buildings have been inappropriately transformed. For example, for the purpose of commercial development, some historical buildings, in addition to the street fa?ade, the rest of the main structure of the demolition, transformation, the integrity of the overall appearance of the neighborhood has been greatly affected.

Thirdly, the historic district pays more attention to commercial development, and does not pay enough attention to the protection of traditional houses, and there is the problem of over-improvement, and the commercial development of "attraction building" has replaced the protection of historic and cultural districts to a certain extent; in addition, there are large advertisements and posters hanging on the cultural relics and historic buildings, seriously obscuring the architectural integrity of the buildings. In addition, there are large advertisements and posters hanging on some heritage buildings and historic buildings, which seriously block the building facade and destroy the traditional appearance of the historic district.

Fourth, the positioning of historic streets is incorrect. At present, there is a historical street to engage in tourism characteristics of the street phenomenon.

Fifth, the focus on the protection of tangible cultural heritage of the historic district, the emergence of intangible cultural heritage, rooted in the historic district of the protection of intangible cultural heritage is not enough to pay attention to the protection of the original social and ecological system is not enough to pay attention to, the historical district and the history of the traditional culture of the original, close contact between the historical heritage surrounding the original style of the destruction of the appropriate.
