CCTV News: Tianjin Ancient Culture Street is located on the west bank of the Haihe River outside the east gate of Tianjin Old Town. As the Spring Festival approaches, this old street is bustling with people. The historical style of Tianjin hundreds of years ago and the cultural traditions accumulated after years are still continued and passed down here.

In the past few days, the "Tiangang Impression" exhibition and experience hall has been completed and opened in the square in front of the Palace of the Ancient Culture Street, Tianjin. Visitors can directly order fresh goods shipped directly from the port in the exhibition hall; simulate the control of container operation equipment on site to experience the modern style of the smart port; look back at the historical style of Tianjin merchants gathering and thousands of sails of canal ships in the immersive 5D cinema.

Wan Lujian, associate researcher at Tianjin Academy of Social Sciences, introduced that Tianjin has a city first, a market, and then a city. It is not just a market, it is also a cultural location. Next to the Drum Tower is the Confucian Temple, which is the location of Tianjin County Schools and Prefecture Schools. This can be said to be the birthplace of Tianjin's cultural context.

Tianjin Ancient Culture Street is 687 meters long. The historical buildings, cultural landscapes and intangible cultural heritage on the street still maintain the historical style of hundreds of years ago. It also inherits Tianjin's cultural memory.

At Yangliuqing Painting Store, the newly launched "Old Version Resurrection" New Year painting doll series includes 6 works including "Auspicious Days" and "Eight Eight Passes". The old version of the New Year paintings in the collection is redesigned and created using four traditional processes: hooking, engraving, printing and painting. The patterns of the traditional Chinese costumes, such as the beautiful symbols of the Chinese characters, cloud characters, ice plum patterns, and treasure flowers, are painted on the doll's clothing, and the sleeping cultural treasures are reproduced from the colors, expressions and meanings. In the "Clay Man Zhang" store, tourists were attracted by the vivid handicrafts of colored sculptures and stopped for a long time.

Li Dan, deputy director of Tianjin Clay Man Zhang Art Museum, introduced that, for example, painting, there are dozens of craftsmanship and hundreds of crafts. This is "the spirit of craftsmanship that continues from generation to generation, allowing the cultural context to continue."

From February 2024 to the present, Tianjin Ancient Culture Street has introduced five intangible cultural heritage time-honored brands, crosstalk clubs, intangible cultural heritage experience halls and other cultural industries.

Before the Spring Festival in 2025, based on the national treasure "Luhe Supervisor" as the blueprint, "Tianjin Luhe Supervisor Lane" will be completed in the South Gate Shuige Street of Ancient Culture Street, and will recount the new chapter of the ancient canal culture, taste, and charm. Combined into the sea and reappeared prosperity, Tianjin Ancient Cultural Street is providing nourishment to the city with its precious historical culture, allowing Tianjin's hometown to shine with the glory of the times.

Zhang Hongpeng, director of the Tianjin Ancient Culture Street Management Committee, said that people should be educated, people should be benefited by culture, cities should be nourished by literature, and businesses should be developed through literature. The Ancient Culture Street inherits the essence of traditional Chinese culture and the characteristics of folk culture in this scene, and uses urban fireworks to reflect the flavor of folk culture and New Year culture.
