On the afternoon of the 19th, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Lijiang Modern Flower Industrial Park and the Lijiang Ancient City in Lijiang City, Yunnan Province to understand the local situation of developing characteristic agriculture according to local conditions, strengthening the protection and utilization of historical and cultural heritage, and forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.
More than 20 years ago, Comrade Xi Jinping wrote a preface to the book "Fuzhou Ancient Houses", "Protecting ancient buildings and protecting cultural relics is to preserve history, preserve the cultural context of the city, and preserve the invisible fine traditions of historical and cultural cities."
Time passes, and feelings are the same. General Secretary Xi Jinping’s responsibility to protect cultural heritage has never changed.
"The cultural heritage is destroyed, and no matter how new and good the city is built, it lacks vitality." General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized, "History and culture are the soul of the city. We must protect the city's historical and cultural heritage as if we cherish our own lives."
More and more famous historical and cultural cities are moving towards overall protection and comprehensive protection. Historical and cultural blocks adopt more micro-transformation methods and put in "embroidery" efforts... In the urban texture and rural context, the traces of time can be seen and the cultural roots can be retained.
The context is integrated into history, and history reflects the future. Ancient cities not only carry the excellent traditional Chinese culture, but also bring new vitality to the new era.
