As the first and only city in the country to plan and protect the ancient city as a whole, Suzhou adheres to the principle of "drawing a blueprint to the end" and continues to explore the path of protection and renewal of the ancient city.
Located in the Fan Gate Bridge Lane of Bachelor Street, Wu Mansion is a cultural relics protection unit in Suzhou City, the original building is two roads and five entrances, but only the fourth entrance hall remains. As one of the former residences of the Ming Dynasty scholar Wang Wei, Wu Mansion has precious historical value and is included in the "Ancient City Cell Anatomy Project" in Gusu District. Last year, Suzhou Famous City Protection Group began a series of work on the design, maintenance, protection and utilization of cultural relics in the early stage of Wu Zhai.
"It was repaired because of the fire. By the time we surveyed it, it had already seen some damage, including the collapse of the roof and the tilting of the roof trusses. In the first half of this year, due to uninterrupted heavy rain, the roof collapsed again, and we carried out emergency rescue reinforcement on it. As an ancient building, it is imperative to preserve it. Zhai Naiwei, director of the project department of Suzhou Gucheng Investment and Construction Co., Ltd., said.
Not only Wu Zhai, in recent years, more and more ancient old houses in the ancient city are moving high-end hotels, coffee shops and other formats into the old houses through one house and one policy, and activation and utilization. This year, a number of ancient old houses, including the former residence of Lu Runzhen, the former residence of Wu Tingchen and the Yang residence of Chunhui Hall, have been renovated.
Zhai Naiwei said that on the basis of the protection and display of cultural relics, it will connect with social forces, introduce capital, and develop commerce, so as to make ancient buildings "live" and strive to drive the development of the surrounding economy. The cultural relics will be passed down from generation to generation, so that modern people, including future generations, can see and understand the previous history and culture.
At present, the "Ancient City Cell Anatomy Project" has completed the information collection of 27 neighborhoods in the ancient city, with a total area of about 6,428,100 square meters, collected 46.776 billion 3D point cloud data, and built 3D models for 20 cultural preservation units.
While fully excavating and protecting the inheritance of history and culture, Suzhou has worked hard to improve the quality of urban functions and make the thousand-year-old city more livable, workable and travelable. Located in front of the Suzhou Museum, the Northeast Street River, when the sun shines on the water, this Wang Bishui is like jelly, clear and sparkling, so netizens also call it the Jelly River, tourists will always stop here and take pictures with their mobile phones.
Suzhou is prosperous and beautiful because of water, and the water affairs department has made more and more ancient city rivers become "jelly rivers" through measures such as river dredging and dredging, source control and sewage interception, and in-situ restoration of water bodies.
"By supplementing some submerged plants and upright plants, the original ecological environment of the river will be restored. After a series of remediation measures, the water quality of the river has gradually improved and stabilized, allowing tourists to have a better tourism atmosphere, and at the same time showing the style of Gusu Water Lane in Gusu District. Lu Hong, chief of the dispatching section of the Gusu District Water Management Center, introduced.
At the same time, around more than 1,100 streets and alleys in the ancient city, Gusu District also actively promotes the construction of "one street, one characteristic, one lane and one brand", and strives to create a number of characteristic streets and alleys of Wudi Water Town. Lilac Lane, which is adjacent to Pingjiang Road, has undergone façade renovation, landscape improvement, box beautification and other transformations and upgrades, so that this narrow alley can retain the original style of the old street while improving the living environment of the original residents.
"In the process of renovation, we have improved the historical and cultural factors of the streets and alleys so that residents can have a more comfortable living environment, combined with the tourism culture of Suzhou and the style of the historical ancient city of Pingjiang Road." Zhu Jinyi, squadron leader of the second squadron of the Pingjiang Street Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade in Gusu District, said.
Within a hundred steps, there will be fragrant grass. In recent years, Suzhou has continued to promote the overall protection, revitalization and utilization of the ancient city and the integration of culture and tourism, and has done fine and excellent "continuous, multiple, and new" articles, promoting the integration of history, culture and modern life, and creating a living, happy, and prosperous ancient city. In the Taohuawu Historical and Cultural Area of Suzhou, the ongoing comprehensive renovation, protection and utilization project takes the IP of Tang Yin and Taibo characters in the area as the highlight, and integrates cultural elements such as Kunqu Opera, woodblock New Year paintings, and ancient books.
Zhu Yi, a staff member of Suzhou Taohuawu Development and Construction Co., Ltd., said that the upgrading and renovation project of Taohuawu Art Museum has reached the final stage and is expected to be opened to the public in the next few months. In the future, we will focus on promoting the first and second phases of the project, building investment promotion and operation, building a Jiangnan cultural display window and an intangible cultural heritage centralized display area, creating a renewal model of the Suzhou Ancient City Conservation Area, and giving the ancient city the vitality of continuous self-renewal.
