In the north of the ancient city of Gusu, you walk into an alley. Between the white walls and the tiles, people can look up and see the North Temple Tower that Suzhou people have been accompanying for a long time. This alley is called Taying Lane. In the evening, the street lamp lights up, reflecting the silhouette of the North Temple Tower on the wall of the alley, and the interactive device with "tower shadow" as the element attracts pedestrians to stop and experience.
The return of "tower shadow into lane" is a scene in the "micro-renewal" of the ancient city of Gusu.
"Before the streets and lanes were updated, the old streets and lanes that lived in them for decades felt that the alley was not worthy of the name. I didn't see the place where the tower shadow entered the lane, only the old and chaotic alleys. " The old man who lives nearby said.
Built in the Three Kingdoms period, the North Temple Tower is more than 70 meters high and is one of the landmark buildings in the ancient city of Gusu. Looking up in a slightly open place, it is not difficult to see the shadow of the tower, but it is not easy to get in.
/kloc-In the past 0/0 years, as the first and only national historical and cultural city protection zone in China, gusu district has actively explored and innovated the implementation of ancient city protection, promoted the transformation of old streets and lanes with "micro-renewal", facilitated citizens' lives, revitalized cultural relics and ancient buildings, introduced entrepreneurial innovation, and made this ancient city with a history of more than 2,500 years continuously show its youthful vitality. Taying Hutong is worthy of the name again.
"'micro-update' means starting from the details and working hard on' embroidery'." Wu Jiali, head of Suzhou Historical and Cultural City Protection and Renewal Real Estate Co., Ltd. said. Like many people who are engaged in urban renewal in this ancient city, post-80s Wu Jiali also has an ancient city complex, where people's beautiful imagination of China's classical culture is pinned.
There is still a lot of detailed work to be done to repair the urban texture and activate the cultural imagination. Nearly half a century ago, the Zhang Jiaxiang River in Langzhong was filled to build a house. After more than ten years' efforts, this 600-meter-long river will be reopened in 2020, connecting the inside and outside of the Gusu City Wall. The local area has also successively implemented the restoration projects of historical rivers such as Wangtianjing, Jiaochang River and Jiaxiang River, and the pattern of Millennium Water City has been continued.
The water is moving, and the landscape of the water lane should be refreshed. The relevant departments have formulated the overall plan of "one household, one policy" to improve residents, clean up illegal structures, repair old buildings, and make the backstreet water lane look brand-new.
At present, there are 35 rivers in the ancient city of Gusu, with a total length of 53 kilometers, which can be visited by boating for five or six hours. Five local upgraded rivers have achieved riverside greening and become ecological rivers, and 22 back street water lanes have been greened and updated, and the style of Jiangnan water lanes has been continuously highlighted.
With the advancement of the "micro-renewal" of the ancient city, the cultural and creative fever has quietly begun.
"Protecting traditional blocks, ancient buildings, cultural relics and indigenous people is to preserve the history and context of the city." Hu Axiang, a professor of history in China, School of History, Nanjing University, believes that "micro-renewal" with organic renewal as its connotation and "living protection" with people as its foundation confirm the change of urban development concept. Facing the future, urban construction should coordinate the relationship between protection and utilization, and give the ancient city the vitality of continuous self-renewal and development with emotional appeal and fireworks.
