Based on the study of Chengdu's GDP and city scale, it is true that Chengdu is called the fourth city. However, from the aspects of culture, social trends and characteristic lifestyle, Chengdu is not the fourth city. Unlike Shanghai's petty bourgeoisie culture and Guangdong's merchant culture, Chengdu is a top citizen culture. People with high salaries can relax, while those with low salaries can relax. This is a very peaceful social environment. When cities all over the country are too impetuous, too hard-working and too utilitarian, Chengdu is a valuable leisure platform for China.
Yi Zhongtian, a professor at Xiamen University and an urban observer: Chengdu is God's favorite city.
I said that Chengdu is God's favorite city, because there is no severe cold in winter, no intense heat in summer and no natural and man-made disasters in Chengdu. In the period of agricultural society, because of its good geographical conditions, Chengdu people can gain gains without paying too much, which has made Chengdu people form a leisurely lifestyle for a long time. If Cantonese dare to live, Chengdu people live well. Take food for example. Guangdong people eat seafood at a high price, while Chengdu people can make exquisite food with ordinary raw materials.
I think we should introduce the lifestyle of Chengdu people to the whole world. Because there is no need to waste resources, destroy the ecological balance and avoid environmental pollution.
Li Shuanke, president of chinese national geography magazine: the fourth place in human geography. The function of a city is not only to provide food and shelter, but also to look at it from the perspectives of economy, politics, culture, nature, environment and history. Chengdu is blessed with the natural diversity of the city. Chengdu is located at the intersection of China's three natural resources. We all say that Chengdu Basin is a land of abundance. Chengdu is rich in resources from Sichuan, as well as abundant natural resources provided by Sichuan. Known as the "fourth", Chengdu people naturally deserve it. Yi Zhongtian, a professor at Xiamen University and an urban observer: Chengdu: Vulgarity is more than elegance.
Chengdu is a specimen of a rural city in the agricultural era. It is a city that combines simplicity and elegance, but it is more vulgar and less elegant. For example, when eating in a restaurant, Chengdu people like to talk loudly. Everyone is talking loudly and no one can hear you. Between vulgarity and elegance, Chengdu people should learn to grasp a degree and find more things that are opposite to leisure to complement each other. For example, eating spicy Tang Can can supplement Chengdu's humid air, but "Xiong Qi" should not only stay on the football field, but also make the city "Xiong Qi".
Professor Peking University and cultural critic Zhang Yiwu: An incomplete city.
Chengdu is a patchwork city, as are many cities in China. But Chengdu is directly pieced together, and there is no overall concept. It is also temporary to say that Chengdu is the capital of leisure. The life of Chengdu citizens is leisure, but it can't attract others to come here for leisure. If it can be said that this is a well-done city, Venice is worth recommending.
Look at the fourth city. Local celebrities in Chengdu are well deserved.
Most local celebrities say that Chengdu is the "fourth city".
Mr. He, a cultural critic and columnist, made it clear that he has deep feelings for Chengdu. There are two reasons: First, there are many friends in Chengdu; Second, because of geography, lifestyle and other factors, Chengdu just makes people feel more relaxed and stress-free. He believes that choosing Chengdu as the "fourth city" should be understood from the perspective of history and culture: Chengdu people have had the idea of "being small and rich is safe" and "being content with Changle" since ancient times. In such a fast-paced modern life, Chengdu people want to slow down, which is the biggest feature of Chengdu.
Mr Liu Jiakun, an architect, also fully agrees that Chengdu was chosen as the "fourth city". As a well-known architect, his view is: "Generally speaking, the urban landscape of Chengdu should be naturally formed. The similarity between Chengdu and other cities is normal. If we have to say that Chengdu's urban construction has gone into any misunderstanding, it is also a misunderstanding that all cities in the country have entered. "
Ms Zhang Xiaomei, president and editor-in-chief of China Beauty Fashion, is another local celebrity who absolutely agrees that Chengdu is named as the "Fourth City". From the perspective that Chengdu is the "beauty capital", she emphasized the indisputable conditions for Chengdu to become the "fourth city": having the best plastic surgery institutions, the best beauty schools and authoritative beauty fashion magazines.
