A central axis, extending from north to south, runs through the old city of Beijing, connecting the ancient and the modern.
A peace song, sung and chanted, from spring and summer to autumn and winter, through time and space.
From April to December 2023, from the Bell and Drum Tower in the drizzle of Qingming Festival to the Yongding Gate in the cold winter and snow, we are fortunate to record the colorful four seasons of Beijing's central axis and the silent watch of the public security police.
The central axis of Beijing was built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a total length of 78 kilometers, praised by architect Liang Sicheng as "the world's longest and greatest north-south axis". The northernmost part is the Drum Tower, the Bell Tower, and the southernmost point is the Yongding Gate, which is a series of ancient imperial buildings, urban management facilities, historical roads in the center, modern public buildings and public spaces, showing the unique magnificent order of Beijing, which can be called a masterpiece of the ideal order of the ancient Chinese capital.
In 2011, Beijing launched the application of the Central Axis for World Heritage Status, and the famous historical buildings such as Wanning Bridge, Jingshan, Forbidden City, Taimiao, Shejitan, Tiananmen Square, Zhengyangmen, Temple of Heaven, Xiannongtan and other famous historical buildings and historical roads such as Di'anmen Outer Street, Di'anmen Inner Street, Qianmen Street, Tianqiao South Street, and Yongdingmen Imperial Road were identified as heritage sites of the Central Axis. At the same time, the solemn sacrificial culture, the folk culture represented by the flyover and the drum tower quyi, as well as the time-honored brand of Qianmen, the swift on the tower of Zhengyangmen City, and the pigeon whistle ...... by the bell and drum towerAll of them reflect the mellow cultural heritage that has been infiltrated in and around the central axis for hundreds of years.
This urban axis, which is the axis of history and culture, is being understood by more and more people.
**The general secretary attaches great importance to the protection of the city's historical and cultural heritage, and has repeatedly inspected the historical streets and alleys and alleys and courtyards of the old city of Beijing. He pointed out that the protection of the Central Axis is a major event and an opportunity, which should be used to drive the retreat of key cultural relics and historical buildings, and strengthen the protection of cultural relics and the improvement of the surrounding environment.
The protection of the Central Axis is not only the responsibility of the departments of culture and tourism, cultural relics, but also the efforts of the public security organs and the public security police. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the work of applying for the World Heritage List of the Central Axis, the public security organs of Beijing Municipality, especially the police stations and police officers along the Central Axis, have done a lot of hard and meticulous work, from protecting the safety of ancient buildings and cultural relics together with the cultural relics protection units, to maintaining public order in scenic spots during holidays and tourist seasons, from ensuring safety during the renovation of historical buildings and surrounding blocks, to stringing alleys, walking merchants and people in the jurisdiction as one family, ensuring the safety of the heritage sites on the central axis and the stability of the surrounding order.
In the four seasons on the central axis, we have frozen a lot of warm and beautiful pictures - the patrol police under the red wall outside the drum tower turned around and enthusiastically responded to the children who ran behind them to say hello, the police squatted down under the Wanning Bridge to carefully check the water stone beast with the dragon body and dragon claws, the 58-year-old policeman on the tower of Tiananmen Gate looked at Tiananmen Square under the red flag, and the two young policemen under the arrow tower of Zhengyangmen patrolled the 848-meter-long Qianmen Street for ......We have recorded a lot of amiable and respectable policemen - the police station chief who cherishes the history of the two parks in Beihai and Jingshan, the "Forbidden City people in police uniforms" who make good use of the historical knowledge of the Forbidden City to mediate the dispute over the "C position" of photography, the Tianqiao policeman who is excellent and versatile in his work and "both civil and military", the old policeman of the Temple of Heaven who is almost blind but sticks to his post, and the "Light Chaser Alliance" established around him ......These policemen painted a peaceful and peaceful navy blue background for Beijing's central axis.
The story of the police guarding the safety of the central axis will itself become part of the history of this magnificent axis. From this point of view, Beijing's central axis is not only an axis of history, culture, but also an axis of peace.
In addition to their job duties, as a member of Beijing residents, the public security police are also silently paying attention to the repair and protection of these key cultural relics and historical buildings on the central axis - on the bustling Gulou East Street, the bustling new Internet celebrity check-in place, the traffic police will pick up their mobile phones to record the moment of the maintenance of the drum tower;During the renovation of the Qingcheng Palace of Xiannongtan, I heard the news that the archaeological staff found an inscription of the Qing Dynasty on an ancient brick, and the police in the jurisdiction happily shared the news with their colleagues in the ......This reflects the gratifying trend of public participation in the protection of cultural heritage.
Today, our "Ping An Beijing Central Axis" large-scale series of financial reports has come to an endTomorrow, the affectionate protection of the public security police on Beijing's central axis will continue.
In the morning after the snow, we looked north at the Yongding Gate Tower, and under the reflection of the morning glow, the Temple of Heaven, Xiannongtan, Zhengyangmen, and Tiananmen were draped in snow, and stood majestically ......The imposing central axis of Beijing is there, and so are our people's police.
