China News Service, Beijing, January 18 (Reporter Du Yan) As the first batch of national historical and cultural cities, Beijing has worked hard to explore the protection of historical and cultural cities in the past 40 years.

At the first meeting of the 14th Beijing CPPCC, committee members made suggestions on the protection of Beijing's famous historical and cultural city around the continuation of the "Beijing culture" and the protection of the spiritual homeland.

  Yin Xiaodong, a member of the Beijing Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference from the education sector and the president of the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Opera, said that at present, the application for the central axis has entered the final sprint stage, and the application text will be officially submitted in February 2023.

The process of applying for World Heritage should be a process of telling Chinese stories and spreading Chinese voices to the world.

However, the intangible cultural heritage represented by Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera has not been fully excavated and well displayed.

  He suggested that more elements of intangible cultural heritage should be elucidated in the process of applying for the World Heritage Site along the central axis of Beijing, telling stories about architectural complexes from line to surface and urban living space and cultural inheritance and development, and telling the story of the relationship between cultural heritage and Chinese spiritual and cultural life. It tells about the nourishment of intangible culture to urban life, so as to highlight the unique relationship between the birth, inheritance and development of two human intangible cultural heritages, Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera, and the central axis.

  He believes that through the application of the central axis, it is necessary to tell a good story about the Chinese people's cultural pursuit of integrity and innovation in dealing with the excellent traditional culture of the nation, tell a good story about the creative transformation and innovative development of traditional culture, and convey the story of ancient and modern brilliance and mutual learning of civilizations. sound.

  Du Zhenjie, a member of the Beijing Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference from the literary and art circles and the leading actor of the Beijing Peking Opera Theater, believes that inheriting intangible cultural heritage culture and protecting the spiritual home starts from the height of intangible cultural heritage protection and consolidates and develops "Beijing-flavored culture" more comprehensively.

Beijing-flavored culture is not one-sided and single-sided. It is a complex with rich connotations and all-encompassing. It is composed of concrete concepts such as Peking opera, cross talk, drum music, alleys, food, and historical sites.

  He also suggested increasing the encouragement, guidance and policy support for intangible cultural heritage cultural creativity and cultural technological innovation.

China has a long history of 5,000 years. At present, the support for core creativity based on traditional culture and its integration with science and technology is not enough, and the enthusiasm and creativity of cultural science and technology talents and cultural market talents have not been fully stimulated.

Therefore, I hope that the relevant departments will encourage more people of insight, especially young talents to engage in the research and exploration of traditional intangible cultural heritage, and strive to integrate intangible cultural heritage into the lives of the people, bringing people a feeling of joyful body and mind, entertaining and entertaining Contribute wisdom, increase strength and create value in other aspects.

  "We live in the city of Beijing, and people often talk about 'old Beijing'. 'Old Beijing' does not mean that it is old or old, but that it has cultural accumulation." From the Beijing CPPCC of the Democratic League Wang Yongqiang, a committee member and deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Literature Foundation, suggested that in the renovation of the old city, attention should be paid to the continuation of traditional Beijing-style culture.

  He noticed that most of the vacated cultural relics buildings have been turned into small museums, and their development is relatively limited.

It is recommended to dig deep into the history of streets and alleys and cultural relics that have been rehabilitated, combine historical inheritance with regional folk culture and humanistic conception, find out breakthrough points, adjust gradually, and make good plans so that each cultural relic building not only has historical and cultural connotations, but also And it has more cultural relic characteristics, personality and vitality.

  Fang Ming, a member of the Beijing CPPCC from the literary and art circles and a professor at Beijing Language and Culture University in Beijing, said that Beijing has the largest classical architectural complex in the country. Appropriate restoration is carried out to reflect the significance of Beijing as an important node of Chinese civilization.

  In his view, the construction of a famous historical and cultural city is not limited to the protection of tangible relics, but should also include the protection and inheritance of traditional culture.

The Confucianism founded by Confucius and the Confucianism developed on this basis have had a profound impact on Chinese civilization and are an important part of Chinese traditional culture.

It is recommended that Beijing protect the Confucian Temple and Guozijian in Beijing in the protection of historical and cultural cities, strengthen the construction of ethical culture for citizens, educate children from an early age to learn etiquette and manners in getting along with others, and cultivate the virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, courtesy and thrift.

  "Beijing's 14th Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Development of Famous Historic and Cultural Cities" pointed out that it is necessary to coordinate the protection, utilization and inheritance of famous historical and cultural cities, and build a protection system for famous historical and cultural cities covering the old city, central urban area, city area and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei. To achieve full coverage of city protection, we should ensure that there are no missing items, and promote the creative transformation and innovative development of excellent traditional culture.

In accordance with the requirement that the old city can no longer be demolished, the overall protection and revival of the old city will be promoted with the protection of the central axis as the starting point, the national historical and cultural inheritance model area in the Three Mountains and Five Gardens area will be built, and the Grand Canal Cultural Belt, the Great Wall Cultural Belt, and the Xishan Cultural Belt will be promoted as a whole. The construction of the Yongding River Cultural Belt, innovation in the protection and utilization of historical and cultural heritage, the establishment of a protection and governance system for famous historical and cultural cities, and careful protection of the "golden business card" of Beijing's history and culture, highlight the overall value of Beijing's history and culture.
