It is urgent to protect the historical and cultural heritage of the city.

In the process of accelerating urbanization, how to save the endangered urban historical and cultural heritage? Known as the "Watcher of Urban Cultural Homes", Feng Jicai, a famous writer and member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, recently accepted an exclusive interview with reporters during the "Cultural Celebrity Tour to Nantong". He called on the people of * * * to strengthen their sense of responsibility and urgency in protecting cultural heritage and rescue the historical and cultural heritage that is being lost.

Local culture faces "internal troubles and foreign invasion"

Feng Jicai analyzed that the fate of local culture in the global context is a universal problem. As far as the traditional culture of China is concerned, the sandstorm-like "fast food culture" swarms in. Nowadays, young people only know Hollywood, Disney, Christmas and Valentine's Day, but they have lost the sense of glory in traditional culture. In the form of urban construction, it is understandable to learn from the advanced experience of developed cities in Europe and America, but it will undoubtedly be the sorrow of China's urban culture to put aside the historical and cultural background and "clone" the city and rush to engage in glass curtain walls, big squares and European customs.

Feng Jicai believes that local culture is the accumulation of historical culture and the unique spiritual creation and historical record of local people. In the new wave of urban construction, we don't pay attention to the continuation of historical context and lack the accurate positioning of urban cultural characteristics. In this way, the cultural personality of the city is inadvertently lost. Many cities have developed rapidly, but they generally attach importance to material and economic aspects and ignore the excavation of urban character and history and culture. The "thousand-city side" of the city lacks cultural identity and makes people feel no sense of belonging. In the long run, what is left to future generations is just an "empty city" without context and historical memory.

Beware of another "achievement project"

Feng Jicai made suggestions on the "construction project" which is now in full swing. He reminded that the protection of cultural heritage should be wary of another "performance project". He analyzed that there is a sense of protection for some historical relics from top to bottom. However, the living cultural buildings scattered among the people lack protection. It is believed that these old streets, alleys and houses are not modern, out of step with the times, affecting the image of the city, simply and rudely transforming into commercial streets, residential buildings, and even razing to the ground, and the history and culture are abruptly disintegrated. It is hard to imagine what Beijing would be like without big quadrangles and hutongs, and where the charm of the city is still. The real carrier of history and culture is not a few symbolic cultural relics.

Feng Jicai pointedly pointed out the "misreading phenomenon" of two kinds of cultural heritage protection. He said that many cities began to realize the value of urban cultural heritage and promoted history and culture as city business cards. Large and small cities, even some emerging cities with thin historical accumulation, are scrambling to invite experts to dig and make plans, which seems to be linked to history and culture and become a lighthouse. Cultural heritage protection areas should not be eager for quick success and quick success, but should be down-to-earth and pragmatic. Not every city can become a famous historical and cultural city.

Another misunderstanding is to vulgarize cultural resources and engage in "face project". Many places have built a large number of antique buildings such as museums, former residences of celebrities in Ming and Qing Dynasties, and streets. But the common problem is that there is too little "originality" and there is no substantive content. The antique buildings built lack historical memory and cultural connotation. Historical architecture is not only a form, but also a sense of history, including material architectural forms and intangible cultural connotations, such as lifestyle, folk customs and so on.

The "rescue project" is urgent.

Feng Jicai put forward valuable suggestions on the protection and utilization of cultural heritage by combining the successful experience and practice of the West. He said that the urgent task is to find out the cultural "family background" through carpet investigation, race against time, and handle the inheritance and continuity of urban planning with the support of existing cultural relics. Fortunately, this has attracted attention. Last year, Zhejiang carried out a dragnet survey and formulated a protection plan; Zhouzhuang and Tongli in Jiangsu are also an example; Shanxi Youjin Culture Seminar; Dali began to study the local culture of Bai nationality. ...

Secondly, we should pay attention to protecting the historical and cultural atmosphere of the city, especially taking good care of the old city and the old street. The old city should be refined and refined, and it cannot be demolished or simply expanded and rebuilt. Galileo's former residence is in an alley where cars can't even drive in. The road has not been overhauled, and the original ecology has been preserved. The successful experience of Italy, Greece and other countries is to introduce modern facilities such as toilets and communication equipment into old houses while keeping the external walls and the original pattern unchanged. After this transformation, it will have an appreciation of spiritual value. Shanghai New World Old Garden House has appreciated many times.

Third, the protection of cultural heritage needs unified planning and legislative supervision. Scientific planning and law are the most powerful tools. Vienna resolutely forbids the construction of high-rise buildings north of the Danube. American law clearly stipulates that cultural heritage is a "land of treasures" and is strictly protected. Feng Jicai said that it is too timely for us to talk about Scientific Outlook on Development, especially the protection of urban culture. From * * * to the people, we should strengthen the sense of cultural responsibility, give up narrow local economic interests, and handle the contradiction between cultural heritage protection and economic construction with a long-term perspective with the coordinated development of Scientific Outlook on Development.
