The "east wind" of the Asian Games blew through the southernmost Gongchen Bridge street of the Millennium Grand Canal, making "the flowing feast, the world's Gongchen" shine into reality.
During the Asian (Paralympic) Games in Hangzhou, the "Canal Concentric Town", the first cultural position in Gongchenqiao Street, Gongshu District, received more than 320 members of the Asian (Paralympic) Council family and about 350 Chinese and foreign personnel.
We hope to help enhance the international reputation of the Grand Canal culture through the 'Canal Concentric Town'." The person in charge of the work of Gongchenqiao Street said.
In recent years, Gongchenqiao Street has adhered to the organic integration of canal culture and culture, and through the integration of resources at the southern end of the canal, it has created a unique cultural position "Canal Concentric Town" in the core area of the Grand Canal, and strives to depict a beautiful concentric circle at the southern end of the canal.
Finding out the talents and resources of the town and establishing a database of members is the first step in establishing the "circle of friends" at the southern end of the Grand Canal.
Over the years, the staff of Gongchenqiao Street have actively visited and had in-depth exchanges with people from new social classes and overseas students in the town. From the establishment of the "Chenxianhui" business alliance represented by master scholars and skilled craftsmen, to the establishment of the "Canal Tongxinhui" freelancer alliance, Gongchenqiao Street has continuously expanded its "circle of friends".
Voices from different identities and perspectives come together, and the cultural connotation of "Canal Concentric Town" is becoming richer and richer.
For example, the Freelance Alliance has created the first non-closing bookstore on the banks of the Grand Canal, "Twenty-Four Book Lane", has held more than 100 cultural salons, and also founded the Chinese Grand Canal literary life book "Gong Chen", making "reading" gradually become one of the "most beautiful scenery" on the Grand Canal.
In addition, themed activities such as the Qiaoxi end-of-month market and the "Neighborhood Festival" have become the "golden business cards" to showcase the culture of the Grand Canal.
The hearts of the people are the same, the brand is become, and the "Canal Concentric Town" also brings together more and more first-class stories and experiences.
Located in Gongchenqiao Street, the country's first canal real-scene transparent outdoor live broadcast room, the "Grand Canal Public Welfare Live Room", is not only a spatial landscape, but also a propaganda position for the first work. Since the operation of the live broadcast room in August 2020, the "Poetry and Painting Grand Canal", "Gongchen Flute Rhyme" and "Dialogue with Craftsmen" and other columns participated by people from "Canal Concentric Town" have accumulated about 5 million people interacting on the online **platform***.
In the next step, Gongchenqiao Street will link more than 10 cultural and creative enterprises and "three museums and one park" in Qiaoxi Cultural District, deeply cultivate the cultural experience circle of "intangible cultural heritage + quality cultural creativity + ingenuity inheritance", and further enhance the cultural brand influence of "Canal Concentric Town".
