As a practitioner of ancient building protection and repair, Deyuan Group strives to build a craftsman-type talent training system, carry out the teaching of ancient construction skills, disseminate the culture of ancient building protection and repair, promote the technical research of ancient building repair, and create a team of ancient building protection and repair talents covering craftsmen, consultants and management teams, providing talent guarantee for promoting the protection of ancient capital style.
Cultivate artisan talents
Dadu Craftsman is Liu Xianchun's latest honor this year. After 12 years of repairing the ancient building, Liu Xianchun of Bofeng Construction Company claimed to be a novice, "The more he followed the master's learning, the more he found that this line was very 'hard' and needed to be carefully polished." Liu Xianchun said that the protection of ancient buildings requires the superposition of knowledge and craftsmanship, the more refined the learning and practice, the deeper the understanding and harvest, to ponder, but also to get started polishing, brick by brick polishing for several years, and now she and her team partners have improved their skills in "hard work", awakening a lot of ancient capital memories, a sense of achievement, but also more motivated, "translation of historical traces hidden in ancient buildings, very interesting." ”

"Bring the old to the new" inherits the essence of culture
Sun Guoqiang, director of the Engineering Department of Deyuan Group, introduced that in order to create a "craftsman" for "three-dimensional", the group is divided into four steps: opening a full staff training of the ancient building repair lecture hall, "teacher and apprentice" oral teaching, carrying out skill competitions to promote training, and key projects polishing and training. "Through basic training, special teaching, personnel selection, project training, etc., multi-level and multi-dimensional cultivation of ancient building repair craftsmen, the overall improvement of the strength of the ancient building protection and repair team."
Dedicated
In the lecture hall of ancient building repair, construction personnel and management and technical personnel should complete more than 20 professional courses of training, including "Ancient Building Repair Construction Technology", "Building Mechanics", "Beijing History and Culture", "Housing Safety Inspection Knowledge", "House Repair Project Management", "Courtyard Style Protection and Restoration Construction Business Technology", "Repair Technology and Folklore", combining theoretical learning and professional practice, standardizing and systematically cultivating artisan talents.

Young craftsmen 'pick the beams' in the protection of historical and cultural cities, there is sustainability, and the inheritance and protection of the cultural context have staying power. Sun Guoqiang said that the growth of craftsmen who complete the "refueling and charging" in the lecture hall needs to practice the stage, and after getting solid experience in the "hard" post, they can practice real kung fu in fighting hard battles, carrying heavy work, and tackling difficulties, "fully absorbing young talents to form a project construction management team, which is not only conducive to tackling tough problems, summarizing and promoting characteristic processes, designing and standardizing construction standards, and more importantly, promoting the rejuvenation of the old city with a more positive attitude and more scientific means."
Big article in a small alley
A ruyi door, a door ridge, a gable, contains a wealth of techniques and prescriptions, authentic inheritance and restoration there are also countless "difficult and complicated diseases" that need to be tackled, cracking these requires consultants to lead the demonstration and craftsman to practice.
Project training
With more than 40 years of work experience, Li Dongfeng is both an inheritor and a leader in the eyes of young craftsmen. As a teacher of Deyuan Financial Street Housing Management Company, Li Dongfeng's apprentices have been batch after batch, focusing on teaching by example. Standing in the courtyard and alley of the Three Officials Temple, Li Dongfeng talked to his disciples about structures, tools, plans, and techniques, which were both simple and particularly tasteful. "Two people should use a large saw to open the material, use a wrist saw for the broken shoulder and tenon, and use a knife saw where it is necessary to turn..." The apprentices all benefited from this teaching of "passing on the traditional culture and the craftsmanship of the ancestors in an authentic way", exploring new materials, new processes and the integration of traditional technologies and materials in practice, and promoting the ancient construction and repair technology.
"Teacher and apprentice" orally
The docking of the technical quality and information of the ancient construction project is the supervisor of Song Yang of the information technology department of Deyuan Shichahai Company, "specific to the Cultural Security Institute, mainly 'review' drawings." Song Yang said that the purpose of "reviewing" drawings is to reasonably "adapt to local conditions" and let the design of ancient building repair projects take root in many limitations. Song Yang said that not only based on existing conditions, in line with the ancient construction regulations, but also to meet the demands of modern residents, this kind of "ancient and modern dialogue" needs to fully dock the ancient construction information in the "review" drawings, flexible use of the theoretical knowledge learned, different projects, the solution is also very different. "Over the past few years, our team has learned a lot with expert consultants and front-line masters, and everyone said that the theory is solid, the practice can keep up, in order to be a craftsman, to accumulate more solutions, and to make the difficult and complicated diseases change from more to less."
Race to train
At present, in Xicheng District, the Ancient Building Repair Advisory Committee, which gathers "skilled craftsmen", responds to the guidance, focuses on collecting, sorting out and inheriting the professional skills of ancient building repair, demonstrating the design ideas and construction processes of protective repair, and studying the original practice, prototype system, original technology, raw materials and the convergence point of the new era. "In Deyuan, the old craftsmen have compiled and completed normative instruction manuals such as technical guidelines for housing renovation and repair projects and construction process standards for housing renovation and repair projects, which will enable the orderly inheritance of ancient construction restoration skills." Li Dongfeng said. Expert consultants also sit in the "competition field", through the skill competition training, selection of talents, a large number of young craftsmen were attracted to the ancient building protection and repair of the front-line construction site.
The cultural heritage polishes the golden business card
Behind the exquisite cultural relics restoration technology, there is a scientific and profound concept of cultural relics restoration. Improving the "gold content" of the protection and repair of ancient buildings in Xicheng is inseparable from the improvement of public cultural literacy and the demonstration of high-quality development. Under the vigorous advocacy of the district government and the leadership of the district federation of trade unions, a group of craftsmen stood out through the 2021 Xicheng Dadu Craftsmen's Cultural Relics Repair Skills and Skills Competition, and participated in the municipal competition, stimulating the enthusiasm of engineering construction and management personnel in related fields in the region to study business and practice technology, creating a strong atmosphere of "learning skills", "racing skills", "loving skills" and "excellence", and the staff innovation studio led the whole chain to disseminate ancient construction culture and skills.

How to improve the level of livability, intelligence and modernization while retaining the historical background and human text color of the old city?
