In-depth study and implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party
Anqing is a place with great ruins! In November 2023, a series of cultural activities on the 20th century architectural heritage in Anqing, Anhui Province was held in Anqing City, Anhui Province.
As a national historical and cultural city, Anqing has a total of 262 ancient buildings, including 49 Chinese buildings, 54 registered immovable cultural relics and 159 historical buildings. Walking in Anqing, modern and modern architectural heritage abounds, and the list is endless.
In view of the characteristics of "large quantity, scattered and small scale" of ancient buildings in Anqing urban area, in recent years, Anqing has paid attention to legislation first, focused on repair and protection, adhered to the project to promote protection, and kept the integrity of inheritance and innovation.
1."Keep it" and use "embroidery" skills.
Thousands of miles of the Yangtze River sealed the throat.
The ancient city of Anqing, nurtured and nourished by the Yangtze River culture, has a profound heritage and many relics. In the new era, how to protect and make good use of ancient buildings has become a realistic and urgent topic. In the face of the problem, Anqing gave an attitude - if you don't do it, you can do it well, and you don't have regrets!
Since 2009, a total of 7 provincial-level historical and cultural blocks and 436 historical buildings (including 262 in urban areas) have been announced, and all historical buildings have been surveyed and mapped, and they have been filed and listed for protection as required. At the same time, a series of planning measures, such as the "Anqing Historical and Cultural City Protection Plan (2010-2030)" and the "Anqing National Historical and Cultural City Protection and Management Measures", have been promulgated one after another, and the protection efforts have been continuously increased.
Daguanting Block, Daguan District, Anqing City, known as "the first scenic spot in Anhui Province", is not a small block, there are two municipal key cultural relics protection units, 5 cultural relics protection objects, 21 historical buildings, including Yan Fengying's former residence, Deng Shiru's reading place, etc.
However, with the acceleration of urban development and the lack of effective remediation, the old and new buildings in the Daguanting block are intertwined, and many residences have various hidden dangers, such as most of the residents are cooking in closed corridors and patios, and the houses are seriously leaking.
In 2017, Daguan District included the renovation of the block into the scope of shantytown renovation, and adopted the method of 'only expropriating but not demolishing', so that 219 households in the block moved out of the shantytown and into the building, which greatly improved the living environment of residents. The relevant person in charge of the Daguan District Culture and Tourism Bureau introduced.
After the relocation was completed, the building ushered in "fine carving".
For example, the walls are made of small green bricks. For the serious wall of the outer drum, manually remove the bricks of the outer drum one by one, and continue to use it if it can be used. For example, the tiles are all old tiles. The old tile not only has good water permeability, but also visually, the tone is deeper and softer; For example, the columns are also directly replaced with old columns, only the rotten parts.
In this way, a total of 100,000 ancient bricks and 67,540 old tiles were used, and the repair of Jiang's old house, Zhangjia Pharmacy, Yan Fengying's former residence, and Deng Shiru's reading place was completed with "embroidery" kung fu.
The famous places in Anhui Province, which have experienced prosperity and decline in the past years, are now once again standing at a new starting point of the times.
2."Come to life", the ancient building ushered in a new life.
Ancient buildings carry the soul of a city.
Anqing Modern History Exhibition Hall, Anqing Postal Culture and History Museum, Daguanting Historical and Cultural District Xicheng Memory Experience Hall ......After careful restoration, the ancient buildings that have been "sleeping" for a long time in Anqing urban area have been reborn and once again integrated into the rhythm of urban development.
Located in Yingjiang District, Anqing City, the original east house of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom British Mansion has been "repaired as the old", and now it has turned into an Anqing Modern History Exhibition Hall. Entering the renovated British Palace, the left side of the courtyard is the relief wall of the Jintian Uprising, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-themed murals are displayed in the east side of the garden. The whole exhibition shows the magnificence of modern Anqing through four parts: "The Road of New Self-improvement through the Years", "The Foundation of Self-Improvement of Hundreds of Lines", "The Wings of Self-Improvement of Courage and Courage", and "The Soul of Self-improvement of Pen and Ink to the New Self-improvement".
The vivid figures and historical events displayed in the museum all show the heavy memory of modern history carried by Anqing. Wang Guobin, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Yicheng Road Street, Yingjiang District, who is responsible for the renovation and exhibition work of the British Royal Palace, said that historical buildings such as the office building of the Mint and the pedestal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Watchtower will also be further repaired.
No. 633 Renmin Road - the former site of the new photoelectric cinema in Anqing. As the earliest professional cinema established in Anhui Province, at that time, the cinema business was booming and it was difficult to find a ticket. When encountering a good movie, even if it is screened all night, there is still a long queue.
However, with the impact of the market, the once beautiful new photoelectric theater gradually declined. In 2006, this historical building was combined with the national intangible cultural heritage Huangmei Opera and successfully transformed into the Anqing Huangmei Opera Hall. The hall is antique, simple and elegant, and the cornices are carved with a strong opera charm. The hall is divided into two parts, the front area is a public welfare art exhibition hall, and the center is a performance hall, which can accommodate more than 200 audiences.
Yan Fengying's former residence, located in the Daguanting Historical and Cultural District, also deeply carries the heavy Huangmei Opera culture. At present, the renovation project of the old residence has been completed, and in the future, it will become a cultural exhibition hall of Huangmei Opera and Yan Fengying's opera career, creating a "small but fine" boutique cultural venue.
"On the basis of in-depth excavation of regional local history and culture, we have incorporated regional history and culture into the teaching curriculum, compiled local culture books, and arranged practical assignments such as visiting old streets and alleys and historical buildings. Fang Di, deputy director of the Office of the Education and Sports Bureau of Yingjiang District, introduced.
When night falls, the lights come on. In the Anqing Huangmei Opera Hall, young Huangmei Opera actors are putting on makeup backstage, and Huangmei Opera "Road Encounter" starts. The beauty of architecture and opera bloom at this moment.
3."Fire up" is both history and trend.
Why does a bookstore become the first choice for tourists?
Persuade my compatriots to prosper, be good at diligence, develop business, and increase the new", on the pedestrian street of Renmin Road in Anqing City, there is a three-storey Western-style old building with blue brick flat masonry, white mud joints, wooden roof and tile, here is the former site of "Anhui Quanye Field", and it is also one of the top ten modern historical buildings that are currently preserved in Anqing.
In 2014, Anqing City launched the Quanye Field Restoration Project, and the Quanye Field regained its former style. How to achieve "revitalization" and utilization of old buildings that have been renovated through the introduction of social capital for protective development?
At this time, Anqing "met" Anhui New Media. In 2016, Anqing leased Quanyechang to Wanxin Media to open a comprehensive bookstore with the preferential condition of "rent exemption for the first 6 years", and named it the brand of "Preface and Postscript". The bookstore has a total operating area of 1,800 square meters and 1 book category20,000 species, has become a cultural landmark in Anqing.
In 2023, the "Preface and Postscript" will be transformed and upgraded again. "We have maintained the principle of 'repairing the old as the old', and while maintaining the old appearance of the building, we have carried out termite control, roof repairs and wood floor replacement to renovate the store. At the same time, a special area for local writers in Anqing will be added to tell the customs, history and culture of Anqing with their works, and tell the stories that happened in Anqing. "Preface and Postscript" Yang Zhihong, the person in charge of the Anqing Quanye store, introduced.
Through the smoke and dust of history, after the baptism of the years, today's Quanyechang has become the "most beautiful bookstore".
Anqing is an important industrial city along the Yangtze River, and in 2019, taking advantage of the east wind of the Yangtze River protection, the overall relocation project of Anqing Petrochemical Hazardous Chemicals Terminal and Oil and Gas Transmission Pipeline was officially launched, and the oil storage tank area of Anqing Petrochemical Port on the bank of the Yangtze River withdrew from the stage of Anqing's industrial history.
The most important thing for the observation of that time is to anchor the industrial memory and lock the residual temperature of history. Wu Min, chief designer of the Tank Ecological and Cultural Center and professor of Hefei University of Technology, said, "In the face of unique and memory-bearing industrial relics, we try to combine the development direction of Anqing city and the needs of citizens, and insert new ecological and cultural functions into it according to local conditions to continue the city's memory." ”
For the sake of this "industrial memory and historical residual warmth", Wu Min carefully cleaned up the "small fragments of urban memory": 4 oil tanks, 1 group of old buildings, 117 meters of petrochemical pipe gallery and foundation piles, 153 meters of pipe trenches, some maintenance ladders, vernier rulers, and even a small bolt ......As the epitome of modern industrial culture, they have been properly preserved and carefully transformed, and have been transformed into "one museum and two centers" where industry, art and culture are integrated, namely Anqing Library, Anqing Youth Activity Center, Municipal Women and Children's Activity Center and Ecological Wetland Park. The four huge oil storage tanks retain the original visual impact, and the tension between "new" and "old" is clearly visually constructed with the new building space.
Under the warm winter sun, children chase and play on the grass, and bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time. In the distance, the boat-shaped building towering on the river bank faces the river breeze, as if it wants to break the waves.
