Guguan rejuvenates Hebei, a great province with the Great Wall, painting a thousand-year heritage and gorgeous transformation

Shijiazhuang, March 3 (Zhongxin Net) -- On the shores of the Bohai Sea, Shanhaiguan has experienced beacon smoke and carried the majestic spirit of a golden iron horse, standing tall on the land of Yanzhao; Outside the country, the Jinshanling Great Wall spans the Yanshan Mountain Range for more than 31 years, interpreting the Changhong trend of "the Great Wall and the Golden Mountain"; Zhangjiakou, the "city of the Winter Olympics", and the "first gate of the Great Wall" are entrenched at the foot of Guanshan Mountain, becoming a vivid footnote of the integration of the Chinese nation.

After great changes, now, with the continuous acceleration of the construction of the National Cultural Park, the Great Wall is slowly entering a new era from the corridor of history. As a key construction area of the Great Wall National Cultural Park, Hebei brings a new answer sheet of "ten ones": focusing on exploration and practice in terms of construction mechanism, strong laws and regulations, planning, heavy protection, grasp projects, promote integration, deep excavation, brand shaping, new display, deep participation, etc... A blueprint for the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park that is expected to rise will revitalize the beneficial exploration of cultural heritage protection in Yanzhao.

Open up the "first kilometer" and explore a new path for entering the law and regulations

The mountains in northern Seibei are full of forests, and "Snow Ruyi" lies quietly on the mountain; The track of the National Cross-Country Skiing Center echoes the ruins of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty; The Beijing Winter Olympics torch was relayed at the "First Gate of the Great Wall"...

Chang Wenpeng, deputy director of the Zhangjiakou Changcheng Protection and Management Office, who has been engaged in the protection of the Great Wall for many years, was pleased, "The Great Wall is a non-renewable resource, and damage and improper behavior to the Great Wall will cause irreversible losses, so we have always practiced the principle of 'protection first, inheritance first' for the protection and development of the Great Wall." ”

As a province with large Great Wall resources, Hebei Province has the Great Wall of different periods such as Warring States, Qin, Han, Northern Wei, Northern Qi, Tang, Jin, Ming Dynasty, etc., with a total length of 2498.54 kilometers, ranking third in the country; the number of Great Wall resources is 8601, ranking second in the country. The majestic Great Wall has endured thousands of years of ups and downs. How can we protect and pass on the precious heritage gifted by our ancestors? Hebei immediately responded resoundingly.

In order to further efficiently promote the new path of world cultural heritage protection, Hebei took the lead in establishing a provincial-level leading group, forming an expert advisory group, and setting up a special work class; Promulgated and implemented the Regulations on the Protection of the Great Wall of Hebei Province, taking the lead in legislating for the construction and protection of the Great Wall National Cultural Park; Formulate and publish the Implementation Opinions on the Rescue Protection of the Great Wall Site of Hebei Province; The "Coordinated Work Plan for the Protection, Inheritance and Promotion of Intangible Cultural Heritage along the Great Wall" was introduced...

Guided by policy guarantees and norms, various tasks have been smoothly advanced in this fertile land with deep cultural heritage, and Chang Wenpeng has a deeper understanding of his work. In his view, since the launch of the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park, from the establishment to the legislation, Hebei has been building a solid protection network of the Great Wall step by step, which not only consolidates the foundation of the protection of the Great Wall, but also actively explores the transformation from the protection of the Great Wall itself to the overall protection of the surrounding environment of the Great Wall, and profoundly expands the extension of the Great Wall culture and the connotation of cultural values.

The top-level design consolidates new landmarks in key areas

Cultural empowerment creates a new scene of cultural and tourism integration

The cultural and tourism integration project is one of the five major projects implemented in the construction of national cultural parks. In recent years, Hebei Province has continuously played a leading role in cultural empowerment and tourism, focusing on the construction of four cultural and tourism integration zones in Shanhaiguan Guancheng, Jinshanlingshan Township, Dajingmen Shangbao and Prince City Winter Olympics; Build 4 Great Wall intangible cultural heritage study experience bases; Successfully established Jinshanling Great Wall National 10A-level Tourist Scenic Area and Chongli National Tourist Resort to expand the supply of high-quality products and meet the new needs of urban and rural residents for cultural and tourism consumption.

Bai Cuiling, Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Land Science and Spatial Planning of Hebei University of Geosciences, believes that cultural tourism products carrying the spirit of the Great Wall can not only enhance the market's perception and recognition of the Great Wall as a national cultural symbol, but also help shape the cultural brand of the Great Wall and enhance cultural self-confidence. As the core of the supply-side reform of the Great Wall Cultural Tourism Belt, Great Wall cultural tourism products will also promote the quality and efficiency of the industry, leading the integration of urban and rural areas and the in-depth development of the region along the Great Wall.

The construction of the pioneering and exemplary Great Wall National Cultural Park is a historical opportunity and an important task of the times. The "Ten Ones" phased achievements have made the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park (Hebei Section) in the forefront and formed a demonstration. Today, this civilizational dragon echoes in the depths of history, and the story of the Great Wall of the new era is being told in a more vivid and vivid way. (End)
