The great historical significance of the protection of the old city of Beijing

a city has a history of its development, and a city has a context of its civilization process. Beijing-As the capital of the People's Republic of China, it has a history of over 3, years and 85 years, and is one of the four ancient capitals in China. Beijing has a long history and culture, a profound China color, numerous cultural landscapes and places of interest, and is the city with the largest number of world cultural heritages. It is both a city with ancient culture and modern civilization, and a charming modern city. We should not only protect her ancient imprint, but also enable her to continue to develop and innovate, and become a city with distinctive characteristics of the times and modern vitality. At present, it is particularly important to protect the old city of Beijing.

In February, 219, when leaders visited the four hutongs in Caochang, Dongcheng District, Beijing, they stressed that the transformation and upgrading of the old city should be unified with the protection of historical sites and the preservation of historical context, which should not only improve the living environment, but also protect the historical and cultural heritage, so as to integrate historical culture with modern life. With the continuous development of the special action of resolving and renovating the old city and promoting its upgrading, according to the overall protection requirements of the old city proposed in the Beijing Urban Master Plan (216-235), Beijing has made innovative explorations in the protection of the old city, and has embarked on a "Beijing model" that organically combines the resolution and renovation of the old city, the improvement of the living environment, the organic renewal of blocks, the protection of historical context and the activation and utilization of cultural relics for public welfare.

the protection of the old city should not only preserve and restore the historical features of the city, but also strengthen the functions of the block in public space and public service facilities through comprehensive renovation, so as to meet the needs of citizens' modern life and give full play to the contemporary vitality of historical resources. The protection of the old city in Beijing should be unified with solving the real urban problems. On the one hand, we should do our best to protect the cultural relics and give full play to their historical value; On the other hand, it is also necessary to adapt the city to the needs of the current development of civilization, rectify and repair some traditional and outdated ones, and let the old city have a good "metabolism". At present, the biggest change in the concept and practice of protecting the old city in Beijing is to comprehensively improve and update the living environment of the block, improve the livability of the old city and the sense of residents' acquisition, and simultaneously promote the protection of the old city pattern and central axis, the restoration of the historical features of the block, the retreat of heritage sites, the restoration and activation of cultural relics buildings, etc.

Beijing is a city with both imperial city culture and street culture. It has the Forbidden City with red walls and yellow tiles, the Summer Palace and Beihai, which are full of royal garden flavor, and there are numerous hutongs with the humanistic flavor of old Beijing. The hutong streets in these old cities reflect the characteristics of the places where old Beijing people live and live, including the lifestyle, etiquette and folk customs formed in or related to the "Hutong-Siheyuan". The protection of the old city and the improvement of the human settlement environment are not only the improvement of the municipal infrastructure and convenience facilities at the material environment level, but also the restoration of the historical features of the hutong interface form and node space, the creation of regional characteristics, the spirit of place and the construction of homesickness memories, so that the neighborhood can more demonstrate the humanistic charm of old Beijing culture.

The protection of the old city in Beijing is of great significance, because it is a great witness of the long history of Chinese civilization and the most important carrier and foundation for Beijing to build a world-famous cultural city and a national cultural center. The planning and construction of the functional core area of the capital is to closely focus on the protection and inheritance of the core values of the old city, strictly implement "the old city can not be demolished", adhere to the word "guarantee", constantly strengthen the protection of the authenticity and integrity of the heritage, and constantly improve the level of rational use and display of historical and cultural heritage, using it in protection and protecting it in use, so as to promote the old city of Beijing to show the unique charm of the integration of traditional culture and modern civilization, and the historical context and the new atmosphere of the times.

Urban culture is the embodiment of national culture and national culture. As the capital, Beijing's urban renewal is more special, because it carries Chinese culture, and at the same time it faces the whole country and the world. Only by protecting the old city, can people remember history, nostalgia and attachment, and can we really protect our national culture and let its spirit be passed down and preserved endlessly.
