Inherit the unique historical context of Hengyue Land and carry forward the unique history and culture of Hunyuan Ancient City. During the Spring Festival in 2022, after years of construction, the Hunyuan Prefecture Bureau opened a "Ya" to welcome guests, which attracted the attention of all sectors of society.
With the completion of this all-round multi-functional cultural experience scenic spot such as Hunyuan cultural display and interpretation of the scene of the Hunyuan Department, the cultural connotation, historical feelings and humanistic spirit of Hunyuan Ancient City have been significantly improved, and Hunyuan has added a strong color to the grand plan of promoting the revitalization of cultural tourism with high quality.
In recent years, Hunyuan County has always cultivated cultural tourism as a strategic pillar industry for economic transformation, and has made a strategic deployment of "holding up cultural ecological cards, building characteristic leisure cities, and taking the road of tourism and health care", so that the first, second, and third industries in the county have converged on cultural tourism. Adhering to the guidance of planning, focusing on global construction, and seeking key breakthroughs, Hunyuan County has made major breakthroughs in the creation of national tourism and the creation of Hengshan 5A-level national tourist scenic spots. As a key project in the "Hunyuan County Global Tourism Planning" and the "Hengshan Scenic Area Master Plan", the cultural and tourism development of Hunyuan Ancient City has always been the focus of the county party committee and county government.
In this context, the cultural excavation and utilization of the Hunyuan Prefecture Bureau has been highlighted in the county's socio-economic development strategy. Hunyuan Prefecture Office is an important bearer of Hunyuan Ancient City culture, positioned as a cultural tourism project of "listening to Hunyuan cultural context, feeling Hunyuan culture, and experiencing State Administration culture" in the context of Liao, Jin and Yuan cultures, showing the architectural layout of Ming and Qing Prefecture, displaying many cultural elements of Hunyuan such as intangible cultural heritage, diet, military, merchants, folklore, etc., so that it can more effectively realize the integration of culture and tourism on the basis of cultural relics protection, so that Hunyuan Ancient City and the two major scenic spots of Beiyue Hengshan and Hanging Temple echo from north to south, creating the main node of the city's "slow travel".
In fact, after years of construction and development, in addition to the state office, the landmark carriers in Hunyuan Ancient City that can display the culture of Hunyuan region have been lined up one after another.
In accordance with the image of the traditional craftsmen of Hunyuan in the Republic of China period, the bronze statues of characteristic figures such as "nailed shoes", "large bowl of tea", "cargo lang dan", "pushing mills", "blowing grain bran" and so on were carefully designed, and rationally laid out according to the dimensions and space of the ancient city; the collection activities of the Yanglian were carried out nationwide to create shop plaques and street lanes with local characteristics; the elements of Beiyue Hengshan were integrated into the subtleties of street lamps, wall tiles, floor tiles, etc., and the thick and heavy foundation of Hunyuan was displayed in a drop-by-drop manner.
In the Majia compound of the Qing Dynasty residential building complex, five core exhibition halls have been prepared and opened, namely the Hunyuan Folk Customs Exhibition Hall, the Hunyuan Bronze Ware Exhibition Hall, the Hunyuan Ancient Porcelain Exhibition Hall, the Ma Family Exhibition Hall and the Boutique Monument Expansion Hall. The folk customs exhibition hall aims to interpret the historical evolution and folk customs of Hunyuan through pictures and physical resources of the past generations; the bronze exhibition hall aims to display bronzes or replicas excavated in Liyu and scattered in major museums at home and abroad, so that the national treasures that shock the world glow with unique charm; the Hunyuan ancient porcelain exhibition hall aims to display the famous Hunyuan kiln porcelain objects or pictures in history; the Ma family exhibition hall aims to show the style and contribution of Ma Guohua and the Ma family; and the fine monument expansion hall shows the thick history of Hunyuan and Beiyue Hengshan through the preserved historical monuments. In addition, from time to time, they also carry out theme exhibitions such as Liyu painted pottery culture, Hunyuan Han tomb group culture, Hengshan military culture, ancient boudoir culture, and Hunyuan historical celebrities.
Created by the famous painter Wang Jinzhong, the Hengsha Bell Art Museum displays the murals of Yong'an Temple, classical traditional figures, etc. through sand paintings, Chinese paintings, oil paintings, statues and other forms, and combines its own characteristics to create a unique layout space, becoming a unique "net red punch card" in Hunyuan Ancient City. The Beiyue Cultural Research Institute, which is currently under construction, will deeply excavate the unique historical sources of Hunyuan and integrate the myths and legends of Hengshan Mountain, historical figures, historical allusions, folk customs and customs into the construction of the ancient city.
These cultural and tourism landmarks, which have been endowed with a heavy culture, are connected with the "national security level" classic ancient buildings such as Yong'an Temple, Yuanjue Temple, Confucian Temple, and Li Yumei Cemetery in the ancient city, making the diverse architectural culture, folk culture and religious culture in the ancient city magnificently intertwined.
This is the development idea of Hunyuan County adhering to the "historical authenticity and integrity of style", effectively revitalizing the "living cultural relics" value of historical buildings and traditional houses, implanting Hengshan cultural elements, reproducing the style of "Hunyuan Ancient City", and building the historical district into a tourist destination integrating tourism, shopping and entertainment!
In this process, in order to continuously enhance the protection of historical and cultural heritage, and strive to achieve a win-win situation of "protecting the ancient city and improving people's livelihood", Hunyuan County hired a domestic first-class planning team to conduct in-depth field investigations of the ancient city many times, repeatedly studied and demonstrated, and relied on the architectural pattern and profound cultural heritage of the "Turtle City Snake Street" in the ancient city of Hunyuan County to compile the "Hunyuan County Land and Spatial Master Plan", "Hunyuan County Urban Landscape Planning" and the ancient city planning, historical and cultural block protection and renewal planning, etc., and determined that "the North District is based on Yuanjue Temple, Yong'an Temple, The Temple of Literature and other relics of the Jinyuan Era are the core, highlighting the cultural characteristics of the Jinyuan; the southern district takes the Beiyue Palace as the core to create a traditional culture sacrifice area; other areas focus on the protection of the architecture of the era, highlight the cultural characteristics of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and jointly show the "work ideas, build a clear context and framework, and provide scientific basis and strong guidance for the protection and development of the ancient city."
First of all, the scientific level of excavation and repair should be continuously improved. According to the objective factors such as the location, surrounding environment and historical examination of the cultural relics protection units in the ancient city, the restoration of the historical district is scientifically laid out, and funds are actively raised to restore 21 retro buildings and structures, more than 160 ancient buildings are restored, and the style of the ancient city is reproduced; the surrounding environment of the historical district is comprehensively rectified, the texture of the streets and alleys is restored, and the 3 state-level cultural relics protection units Yong'an Temple, Yuanjue Temple, Confucian Temple and Hunyuan Prefecture Office are connected in an orderly manner with the ancient residences in the ancient city, so that citizens can enjoy the ancient charm culture in their daily lives.
Second, continuously improve the level of refinement of protection and management. For 14 historical buildings, the identification, listing and archiving of historical buildings have been carried out; the top-level design of the system has been continuously strengthened, a detailed historical building protection work mechanism has been formulated, and a scientific classification, strong protection and effective management of urban and rural historical and cultural protection and inheritance system has been established to ensure the systematic protection of important urban historical and cultural heritage in various periods.
In addition, huge amounts of money were raised to create the characteristics of the ancient city. The pavement, underground pipelines, and 187 100,000-square-meter building facades of Yong'an West Street, where the ancient city is located, will be comprehensively transformed, and a new retro corridor of 10,000 square meters will be built; 63,000 square meters of uncoordinated buildings and other facilities around the ancient city will be demolished; multi-pronged lighting will be upgraded, and every night, special street lamps, cultural landscape lamps, state-themed lamps, ming and qing characteristic palace lamps along the street will bloom gorgeously, helping the charm of the ancient city to be fully displayed. In the process of promoting urban renewal, a number of classic elements and iconic symbols highlighting the cultural characteristics of Hunyuan have been extracted, integrated into the infrastructure construction such as road paving and installation of public facilities, at present, there have been more than 5,000 cultural symbols with Hunyuan characteristics such as the Eight Views of Hunzhou, the True Line Of Beiyue, the Honeysuckle Pattern, and the Xuanwu Divine Beast Diagram displayed in front of the public. According to the urban dimension and space, 15 groups of bronze statues of hunyuan traditional craftsmen were rationally arranged, dressing up the streets of the city, adding historical charm, and recalling the long-lost cultural consciousness and cultural self-confidence through the renewal of the urban style.
