On July 25th, 20021,the World Heritage Committee decided? Quanzhou: China's World Ocean Trade Center in Song and Yuan Dynasties? Be included in the World Heritage List. According to the resolution of the meeting, 22 heritages, including transportation, production and commerce, were included in this project, which contributed to Quanzhou becoming a maritime hub of East and Southeast Asian trade networks. This is the result of 20 years' efforts. So far, the total number of world heritage sites in China has increased to 56. The largest port in the east? Quanzhou was officially listed in the World Heritage List.
A series of core questions always haunt every endeavor: how to continuously expand the Quanzhou effect of world heritage and comprehensively enhance Quanzhou's humanistic advantages and cultural influence? How to do a good job in site protection, inheritance and utilization and linkage activation in the post-World Heritage Application era, and build a demonstration city for world heritage protection and utilization? How to expand? World Heritage Quanzhou? Expand economic cooperation in various fields in the circle of friends with multicultural exchanges? How to connect Quanzhou with inland areas? Hester. The reappearance of the important sea passage of the route in Song and Yuan Dynasties? The largest port in the east? Glory?
Looking back on the road ahead, the sound of ancient style is bright; Looking forward to the new road, the spring is full. Standing? World Heritage Quanzhou? Strategic tide, with? Song and Yuan Dynasties? Many touching stories have sprung up in the ancient city, showing the infinite prospect after being transformed into a new city. The efforts of Quanzhou people from top to bottom, and every step they have taken, deserve to be recorded, written and further spread, thus promoting the better development of Quanzhou.
To this end, the Propaganda Department of Quanzhou Municipal Committee and Straits Metropolis Daily jointly launched? World Heritage Quanzhou: The fireworks of that city and that person? The first anniversary of Quanzhou's successful application for World Heritage? Specially planned, focusing on the specific changes that have taken place in Quanzhou in the past year after the successful application for the World Heritage, and launching multi-dimensional, multi-angle and multi-platform reports. I hope this plan will work? Original flavor? Show? World Heritage Quanzhou? The smell of fireworks, I hope this? Distracted? Humanistic stories, truly recording the wishes of everyone in Quanzhou? The ancient city of Quanzhou in Houfu? More and more alive, more and more fire.
Facing the sea, embracing the blue is the ancient city, and riding the wind and waves is Quanzhou.
In the long lanes of the city, fireworks gather and the world is written.
Everything seems to be yesterday, and everything is changing again.
First stop: Hu Axiang.
The days are long in summer, and it is not completely dark in Quanzhou at seven o'clock in the evening. The red lanterns hanging high in Huaxiang, Zhongshan Road have already lit up. The red night light reflects the antique arcade, shining outside the Fanzilou, and the brick carvings under the eaves are sprinkled with green light on the bluestone board. Under the dim light of night, the bustling tourists are carefree and enjoying the fireworks in the old lane in the slow time.
After years of renovation and upgrading of the ancient city, the old landmarks and scenic spots in the old streets and alleys have been restored like embroidery. Makeup? Rong. Last year, Huaxiang, which has been dusty for a hundred years, also ushered in transformation and upgrading. In the embroidery work of repairing the old as before, the century-old flower shop has once again bloomed with brilliance, and the era buildings scattered in time and the old signs dissipated in the years have returned to their original appearance.
Last weekend, we revisited this vicissitudes of life street, shining with scenery and humanity, and flowing with bustling fireworks. Can't help wondering, Hu Axiang? Everything seems to be yesterday, and everything is changing.
Blowing dust: ancient incense bloom.
After the systematic transformation, upgrading and restoration of drainage pipes, facades and landmark buildings, the once dusty flower lane showed a long-lost smiling face.
On the newly paved bluestone slab, the distance of 200 meters has walked out of the century-old architectural history. Qilou, Fanzilou, girls' school? In different periods, different styles of Chinese and western architectural techniques crisscross here to create architectural flowers.
When I looked up, I saw red brick carvings, wood carvings and dripping beasts full of China traditions. In the blink of an eye, there are western-style windowsills and roofs. The most interesting thing is that No.46 Hu Axiang is a two-story building in the 1920s. At first glance, it was the most typical Minnan tradition, but on the second floor, the style suddenly became Islamic, and the Nanyang style was dramatically inserted into the roof.
Different from the surprises that tourists often show, the old villagers are happy that the new Gu Xiang has improved their living conditions, but the familiar life scenes remain the same. The photo studio, noodle shop, flower shop and even simple tailor shop in the alley have not changed.
Imprint: mottled light and shadow leave memories
In fact, these old shops in the old alley have been engraved with the deep memories of the old Quanzhou people. There are many precious memories hidden in the photo studio full of old photos in the corner of the lane.
The owner of this photo studio, Chen Peixin, is Luo Xin. He has been a famous photographer in the whole state since his grandfather's generation. 19 14 years, grandpa Chen Chunmu opened a Yi Xuan photo studio in Chengtian Temple, which can be called a top shop. 1934, my father Chen Jianji opened a photo studio at Huaxiangkou, Zhongshan Road. Later, it was a public-private partnership, which really became an old brand in Quanzhou. Today, many families in the whole state still keep the precious photos left in Locke at that time.
Because of taking photos, Chen Jianji also formed an unforgettable friendship with Master Hongyi, and accompanied him to Zimaoshan to expand the topic. Master Hongyi took a picture in front of the tomb of Hanwha University, lying on his side and dying cross-legged.
199 1 year, Chen Peixin inherited the mantle left by his father in the rock photo studio in the old house in Hu Axiang, and this generation was born? Similar in style to Roark Photo studio.
A person in charge of Zhongshan Road Management Committee said that it won't be long before the restored rock photo studio will resume business, and many people are looking forward to coming here to leave a light and shadow memory.
Freshmen: humanistic fireworks are flourishing.
For more than a year, a century-old lane has been dusty and repaired, just like a smiling face of a dusty woman after washing and dressing. Those fireworks accumulated year after year, those humanities handed down from generation to generation, are floating, visible and tangible.
Repairing the old is like an embroidery needle, so that every wall and every ancient building is just right. Blooming in the lane, blooming for a hundred years, also attracted antique old brands. Almost in sync with the promotion of Hu Axiang, Chen Jianguo, the legendary eighth-generation successor of Shen Zhi, an old fan, chose his famous Chinese snacks and important image shops of Chinese time-honored brands here.
Chen Jianguo, who grew up in Anhai, Jinjiang, is good at mashed taro, frozen bamboo shoots and a cup full of mango. In the eyes of many tourists, these? Haohao? The (delicious) and ancient Quanzhou snacks are the reasons that make them linger.
Unable to resist the temptation of delicious food and Chen Jianguo's warm greeting, many tourists will always taste the signature snacks in the store one by one until their mouths are deeply satisfied.
Confession: Wait here for you to revisit your old place.
Food snacks satisfy taste buds, and cultural scenery awakens interesting souls. The old alleys are full of tourists, who enrich Gu Xiang.
? Do you think the flower lane under the night light looks like you are laughing? ?
? Well, it looks good. Let's take a picture! ?
At the corner of the alley, a young couple who met here revisited the old place and exclaimed that there were many beautiful things hidden in the flower lane that had never been discovered. Two people are still the same? Go to Shi Zhi Bookstore in the depths of Hu Axiang, eat a bowl of old-fashioned noodles and take a nostalgic photo in the old photo studio.
For them, the flower lane at the moment hides each other's cutest tenderness. No amount of confession is worth a word:? Hey! I'll wait for you at Huaxiangkou! ?
Hu Axiang business card
The flower lane is not long, with one end connected to Zhongshan Middle Road and one end leading to Xinhua Road. Hu Axiang is not the original name of this alley. In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols camped here, so what was their name? Mongolia Lane? .
Until the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, many flower-tying craftsmen gathered here to make a living by selling cooked flowers. For a long time, it has become a concentrated place for the residents of the ancient city to buy folk flowers for weddings and funerals. At that time, Wansheng, Wanyuan, Jinfeng and other flower shops were very famous. During the rush hour, there were more than 40 flower shops in the alley, hence the name Hu Axiang.
With the changes of the times, only two or three old-fashioned flower shops in Huaxiang are still open. (Haidu reporter Wu? Lin Liangbiao? Li)
