What is the echo between subway culture and urban culture?

Shenzhen Metro Line 1 1 will be opened at the end of the month, which will become the fastest subway in China at present. In addition, it is worth noting that 9 of the 8 stations along the line/KLOC-0 have tailored their own "expressions" to reflect the history and changes of Shenzhen in the new era with their own public art walls. It is reported that in these nine art walls, there are both "Shenzhen in tradition and memory" and "Shenzhen in fashion and reality". For example, the art wall of Baoan Station is based on the photographic work "Land Reclamation" by He, the president of Shenzhen Photography Society, and reproduces the historical lens of land reclamation of Shenzhen Baoan Xixiang Commune 1973. Nanshan Station Art Wall chooses litchi, which is regarded as the first of the three treasures in Nanshan, as the theme, and depicts the happy scene of litchi harvest in midsummer with traditional decorative language. This news is really exciting. It has been more than 100 years since London first built the subway in the world, and the subway has been more and more integrated into the lifestyle of modern people. In a sense, the subway is not only a means of transportation, but also a cultural exhibition hall of a city and an entrance for people to look at and understand the city. How to make the subway line a special line for humanities and the subway a "second space" for urban culture has increasingly become a cultural examination question in the process of urban development. Take some internationally renowned cities with developed subway culture as examples. Famous Russian paintings and celebrity statues stand at the entrance and exit of Moscow subway station. In Hong Kong, there are not only antique old station buildings, modern abstract works, which give new vitality to the old lines, but also new stations with a strong sense of the times, with old-fashioned theme decorations and collective memories, which express the respect of the whole city for history and humanity. Chinese mainland's subway culture is also accumulating. A few years ago, Shanghai and London held "Chinese-English Poetry Entering the Subway" respectively, which was a sensation for a while. Beijing Metro once held a small concert organized by the government, and the response was good. For Shenzhen, over the years, cultural planning activities such as book drifting in the subway, subway movie week and "subway to book city" have also made the cultural atmosphere of Shenzhen subway more and more strong. Metro 1 1 Line outlines the cultural features of Shenzhen with a series of public art walls, which undoubtedly means that the subway culture in Shenzhen is developing forward, which means that the subway culture and urban culture have a deeper interaction and echo. According to reports, in the future, the third phase of Shenzhen rail transit project will turn several subway stations into "one stop, one story", fully reflecting the historical and cultural landscape with Shenzhen characteristics-reading Shenzhen in the subway, making subway travel a historical and cultural journey, and making people more aware of the importance of subway culture for enriching citizens' cultural life and even casting urban cultural soul. Of course, making the subway into a high-quality public cultural space is not as simple as copying and pasting "ground art" underground, but should fully consider the particularity of underground space and people flow, and realize the sublimation of creativity and aesthetics through details. Whether in new york or Paris, whether in London or Stockholm, all kinds of scenery of urban subway culture and art that people talk about come from the elaborate design of urban public art construction and operation and maintenance scheme. As a creative city, we believe that Shenzhen Metro will continue to extend and support people's cultural imagination of the city in the future.
