What is the urban personality of Shaoguan?

Perhaps, people usually use the following words to describe it: Shaoguan, the southern foot of Yinanling Mountains and the upper reaches of Beijiang River, with a long history, rich resources and developed transportation. It is an important town in northern Guangdong and the hinterland of the Pan-Pearl River Delta, and has three functions of "Red Triangle" central city, hub city and open city. In fact, such a description seems to be difficult for people to grasp Shaoguan's personality and leave a deep impression. It is an inevitable requirement of urban development to accurately locate the city, establish the concept of urban management and shape its unique personality. If a city can form its own personality, it must have considerable cultural energy and its own unique style and temperament. When it comes to Beijing, people can't help but think that it is a political and cultural center with the spirit of kings; When it comes to Shanghai, people will immediately think that it is an international metropolis, the "Pearl of the Orient"; When it comes to Shenzhen, people invariably associate it with China's window of reform and opening up. Therefore, it can be said that a city's personality is determined by its natural ecology, history and culture, which is completely different from the inherent characteristics of other cities. At present, in the process of developing cultural industries, tourism economy and managing cities, many places in China give priority to urban positioning and urban personality construction. For example, Ruijin in Jiangxi is located in the "Red Capital", Luoyang in Henan is located in the "Peony Capital", Lianzhou in Qingyuan is located in the "Shuiyan Lianzhou" and Shenbo in Yunnan, and the most famous planning studio in China is invited to "tailor-made" and shout out the beautiful slogan "South of colorful clouds, the Sect of all green". Fujian Wuyishan followed suit and asked Wang Zhigang to design "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism for a thousand years-landscape tea". In view of this, based on the understanding of Shaoguan's beautiful natural ecological environment and profound historical and cultural heritage, can Shaoguan's urban personality and positioning be summarized in two sentences: landscape Shaoguan, Danxia in the world; The landscape is Shaoguan, and the expression is Zen. The former pays attention to Shaoguan's ecological and cultural personality, while the latter strengthens Shaoguan's historical and cultural taste. First of all, the words "mountain", "water", "Shao" and "Guan" just sum up the four characteristics of Shaoguan: the lotus, hibiscus and Huanggang mountains in Shaoguan City are winding, with dense forests and lush trees, which are spectacular against the blue sky and white clouds, showing the style of "mountain"; It is also located at the intersection of Zhenjiang, Wujiang and Beijiang, surrounded by three waters, sparkling and more "water" charm; The history of Shaoguan is closely related to Shao and Guan. According to legend, when Shun Di was on a southern tour, he sang Shaole solo in Shao Shi Mountain in the north of the city, with a lingering sound. Shaoguan is named after Shao, and Shao culture should be vigorously promoted. Shaoguan has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and it is also the gateway and gateway for nationalities, economy and culture in the Central Plains region to go south, and it is also the only place for Lingnan trade to go north. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Shaoguan was an important land and water tax gate in China, and the tax collected was a quarter of that of the whole country, so it was named "Shaoguan". Therefore, "Shaoguan Mountain", with its unique geographical location, constitutes a unique human landscape, forming a long history and rich cultural connotation. Secondly, "Heaven and Earth Danxia" and "Charm and Zen Rhyme" show the most unique personalized elements of Shaoguan. God created heaven and earth, and God gave us a magical and beautiful Danxia Mountain. Now, Danxia Mountain has become a world geological park, creating a world famous brand for Shaoguan. The "nine-year-old demeanor" of Zhang Jiuling, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, and the Chinese-style "Zen culture" founded by Huineng, the sixth ancestor, contain the unique quality and personality characteristics of Shaoguan city culture, which are not envied by other cities. If we want to publicize Shaoguan's urban personality, we must cultivate the eclectic and generous temperament of "nine-year-old demeanor" and the tolerant and soul-oriented nature of the six ancestors, so that these two cultures can blend and carry forward each other. From a national perspective, when it comes to Zhang Jiuling and Huineng, as long as people who like Tang poetry and China Buddhist culture know it, few people know that they "went out" from Shaoguan. After many celebrities and socialites set foot in Shaoguan, they suddenly realized that this is the hometown of Zhang Jiuling, a famous person in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the birthplace of Zen in China. To build Shaoguan's personality and improve its historical and cultural taste, we must realize that "nine-year-old demeanor" and "Zen culture" are the essence of our city's personality, and plan and strengthen them so that people can feel the rich flavor of Tang poetry culture and Zen culture as soon as they set foot in Shaoguan. So, how to build Shaoguan city personality? First of all, we should pay attention to protecting and developing historical and cultural resources. Rich historical and cultural resources are precious wealth and special resources for Shaoguan's economic, social and cultural development and modernization. In the process of protecting and developing this precious resource, we should stand at a historical height and face the future, and combine the development and spirit of the times with the current and medium-and long-term economic, social and cultural development and the people's growing diversified cultural needs. Scientific protection, orderly development and rational utilization of historical human resources from the perspective of historical development is a basic work related to social change, development potential and competitiveness, and building an innovative and harmonious society. Second, Shaoguan should be built into a "livable place". Shaoguan is surrounded by mountains and waters, with beautiful scenery. "Livability" is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable features of the city. In order to show the livability of Shaoguan, we should start with urban construction with new ideas and courage on the basis of comprehensive analysis of Shaoguan's history (Zen culture, Shao culture and nine-year demeanor), reality (economic and cultural center in northern Guangdong, tourism economy), nature (three rivers and six shores) and humanities (gathering place of northern and southern cultures). In terms of urban environment, we should plan the space of this city from the height of humanistic thought, start with the construction of a landscape city, strengthen the protection and cultivation of the ecological environment such as forest land in the center of the city, and emphasize the interdependence between people and the city and the harmonious coexistence between people and nature. It is necessary to continuously improve the environmental quality, especially to make qualitative breakthroughs in greening, lighting, waterscape, road view and other aspects, and form a brand-new urban landscape with layered greening, new lighting ideas and distinctive waterscape and street view styles. Let the water in Shaoguan be cleaner, the land greener and the sky bluer. Let citizens and tourists breathe in the "clear water and green mountains", linger in the "three rivers and six banks" and shuttle through the "city that never sleeps". As far as urban culture is concerned, the cultural connotation of a city is systematic, and it is an organic combination of tangible and intangible, software and hardware. Aside from the exploration of historical context, from the perspective of urban construction, Shaoguan culture should have more libraries, stadiums, opera houses and open theme parks in terms of spiritual needs. For example, in the transformation of the old city, Zhang Jiuling is the main signboard to create the culture of Tang poetry, to establish a graceful building, a nine-year-old park and a nine-year-old memorial hall, and to establish a "300 Tang poems" stele gallery along Xunfeng Road; Replacing the sign "Welcome to Shaoguan" in the railway station square with the poem "Moon, now full of sea, illuminating the whole heaven" can not only realize the development from low level to high level in the process of urbanization, but also show the urban characteristics of Shaoguan under the great cultural background. In terms of urban architectural style, Xilian New Town should break the regional concept, integrate social high-quality resources, absorb the world's advanced architectural concepts and excellent architectural styles, abandon the sameness brought by pragmatism, make architecture a work of art bearing the development history of our city, and truly realize the concept of "life changes life, architecture changes city". Regarding the honor of the city, Shaoguan is an excellent tourist city in China and is actively integrating into the strategic framework of the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration. On this basis, we should strive for another higher honor of the city-China Habitat Award and United Nations Habitat Award from the perspective of promoting the overall rapid progress of the city. We should vigorously implement the "people-oriented" urban sustainable development strategy and introduce the distinctive personality of Shaoguan, a "livable" landscape city, to the whole country and the world. Third, increase the development of tourism. The development level of tourism is an important symbol of urbanization, and urban personalization is a powerful booster to accelerate the development of tourism. Shaoguan has a unique natural and humanistic environment and rich tourism resources. We should take this opportunity to make Shaoguan's tourism bigger and stronger, and position Shaoguan as an eco-tourism area and cultural tourism area featuring "natural wonders and cultural sources". Focus on cultivating Danxia Mountain, Nanhua Temple, Nanling National Forest Park, dinosaur fossil site and Guangdong Grand Canyon as fist products, focusing on the development of sightseeing, supplemented by holiday tourism, thus forming three major tourism chains: natural cultural heritage, landscape ecology and geological culture. Especially in the tourism planning of Danxia Mountain, we should learn from the successful experiences of Zhangjiajie in western Hunan, Fenghuang in Yunnan and Lijiang in Yunnan. Instead of combining Danxia Mountain with vulgar cultural propaganda, we should emphasize the unity of "heaven" (Pangu culture, totem culture, root-seeking culture and love culture) and "land" (wonderful natural landscape and geological landform culture) in Danxia Mountain, and strengthen that Danxia Mountain is the "Danxia landform" in the world. In addition, when planning tourism, we should have a sense of "Great Shaoguan", bind Maba people's site, Shi Xia cultural site and Nanhua Temple together, and make every effort to declare the world natural and cultural heritage, so that Shaoguan will have one more "world famous brand" and China will have another "world famous brand". ) Comments (0)
