Why have most of China s ancient cities been preserved relatively intact?

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Longhai Railway passed through Guide, but the railway station was built in Zhuji Town, 10 kilometers away, and the whole city function was gradually transferred to Zhuji Town, and Zhuji Town has become the economic center of Guide. After the liberation, Zhu Cheng became Shangqiu City, which was also the location of the prefecture, and the original city of Defu was neglected and basically became an empty city. This is the reason why the ancient city of Shangqiu is preserved.

In fact, it is mainly the restoration of later generations, in the past, for the sake of development, a lot of damage was made, and now it is beginning to pay attention to it, and it is slowly repaired.

A lot of it has been preserved, but in fact, a lot of it has been demolished. It still depends on whether the local ** has a vision, such as the Phoenix Ancient City back then, fortunately it was not demolished, and now it has contributed a lot of GDP to the local area.

The bricks of the ancient city wall of Shangqiu are too large to be demolished, so they are retained.

It's a coincidence, and then there is no money, it costs money to hire people to dismantle it, and the key is that it can't make money yet.

In order to develop tourism, there is now an ancient city, and the whole city or even a province can be polished, and the development of tourism can make a lot of money.

Whether an ancient city is demolished or left behind depends on whether the decision-makers value its urban function or other use value. Thankfully, there are still many smart decision-makers, and many ancient cities in China have been relatively intact.

I only talk about our ancient city of Pingyao, mainly because the poor have no money to demolish it, otherwise how can it be the turn of Pingyao, you see how quickly the city of Beijing is demolished.

There is no profit and it is not early, and the ancient city has economic significance. The most intuitive way is tourism development, the lifestyle of the ancient city, folk customs, and special catering are all excavation points for development. In an era when the information gap is very low, personality is charm.

I don't understand, why did you want to tear down the city wall, how good it is to leave it, I think it was not right to demolish it at that time.

False propositions. Is there still less demolition? Didn't you see that they were all rebuilt?

China copied the four well-known ancient cities of Lijiang, Pingyao, Hongjiang and Fenghuang, and on the 17th in Huaihua, Hunan Province, "Yijie Jinlan", became a "sister ancient city" to promote the protection and development of China's historical and cultural ancient cities. With a history of more than 800 years, the ancient town of Lijiang in Yunnan Province is a famous historical and cultural city in China, a world cultural heritage, and an ancient town with the most complete preservation and the most national style in China.

China has a long history, and there are many ancient cities, such as Langzhong, Shexian, and Xingcheng

Lijiang in Yunnan, Langzhong in Sichuan, Pingyao in Shanxi, and She County in Anhui are known as the "four most well-preserved ancient cities".

Originally, China had the famous "Four Great Dus."

DAO Nanjing; Later, there were "six ancient capitals", which were added to Kaifeng and Hangzhou; In the 80s of the last century, the "Seven Ancient Capitals" were formed, and Anyang was among them. Now, Zhengzhou and Datong have entered the sequence of "nine ancient capitals". She County, Anhui, Langzhong, Sichuan, Pingyao, Shanxi, Lijiang, Yunnan.

She County, Anhui, Langzhong, Sichuan, Pingyao, Shanxi, Lijiang, Yunnan.

She County is located in Hangzhou, Qiandao Lake, Huangshan, Jiuhua Mountain tourist line of the center point, Huihang, Tunwu highway intersection here, Anhui-Jiangxi railway crossing. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. The layout of the ancient dwellings in the territory is elegant, and gardens, long pavilions, ancient bridges, stone workshops, and ancient towers can be seen everywhere, just like a magnificent historical museum.

The main attractions are Taibai Building, Xin'an Tablet Garden, Xu Guo Stone Square, Doosan Street, Tao Xingzhi Memorial Hall, etc.

The natural landscape of the ancient city of Langzhong is strange and colorful, unique, the Jialing River of "stone and jasper depends on each other" surrounds the ancient city of Langzhong, surrounded by green mountains, a painting of "three sides of the river hugging the city, surrounded by mountains to lock the smoke", the ink and blue Danqing, which is natural.

The ancient city of Pingyao in Shanxi Province was inscribed on the World Heritage List in December 1997.

Located in Shanxi, the ancient city of Pingyao is a famous cultural city with a history of more than 2,700 years, one of the four most well-preserved ancient cities in China, and the only ancient county town in China that has successfully declared the world cultural heritage with the entire ancient city. Pingyao used to be called "ancient pottery", in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, in order to defend against foreign disturbances in the south, the city wall was built, Hongwu three years (1370 AD) rebuilt and expanded on the basis of the old wall, and fully covered with bricks. Later, Jingde, Zhengde, Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli generations carried out ten repairs and repairs, updated the city tower, and added enemy platforms.

In the forty-third year of Kangxi (1703 AD), because the emperor passed through Pingyao on the west tour, he built a large city tower on all sides, which made the city more spectacular. The total circumference of the Pingyao city wall is 6,163 meters, and the wall height is about 12 meters, separating the Pingyao county town with an area of about square kilometers into two worlds with different styles. The streets, shops, and market buildings within the city wall retain the shape of the Ming and Qing dynasties; Beyond the city walls, it is called the new city.

It is a place where ancient and modern buildings are integrated and complemented each other, making people wonder about each other.

Lijiang is located in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, with a long history, beautiful scenery and majestic natural environment, and is the hometown of the descendants of the ancient Qiang people and the Naxi people. At an altitude of 2,400 meters, Lijiang Old Town is the central city of Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County, one of China's famous historical and cultural cities, and a national key scenic spot.

Lijiang County, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is said to be named "Dayan Town" because it resembles a large inkstone. Exploring its past, people discover that this once forgotten "ancient Nasi kingdom" has been inhabited by humans since ancient times. Today's masters, the Naxi people, are the descendants of the Qiang people who migrated south in ancient times.

For thousands of years, they have worked hard to build their own beautiful home.

Xi'an, Nanjing, Kaifeng, Chengdu.

So far, there are many well-preserved ancient city walls. Among the more famous ones are the Xi'an City Wall, the Pingyao City Wall and the Nanjing City Wall.

The city wall of Xi'an is rectangular as a whole, and it is the largest and most well-preserved ancient city wall in existence. From the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, Xi'an became the capital. One of the reasons why Xi'an can become the capital city is its geographical location.

It is located in the middle of the Guanzhong Plain, the transportation is convenient, the climate is mild, the middle-aged is redundant, the land is fertile, and the surrounding is the natural danger, it is the Hangu Pass, but also has a husband when the Guan Wan Fu Mo Kai title, you set Xi'an as the capital, it is more suitable.

The ancient city of Pingyao has a history of more than 2,700 years, and the ancient city of Pingyao is well preserved, mainly because of its cultural significance. In the development of Chinese history, it presents a complete picture of extraordinary cultural, socio-economic and religious development. It has unique and rich cultural relics, and shows the architectural forms, construction methods and material standards of ancient Chinese cities in different historical periods, reflecting the artistic and aesthetic achievements of different ethnic groups and different regions.

Nanjing is also known as Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The Nanjing City Wall is currently the longest city wall. As we all know, the Nanjing City Wall is a representative of ancient military defense, regardless of its construction art or historical value.

It has great reference significance for current architectural design. Every year, thousands of people go to Nanjing just to see the city wall.

Some of the walls have been worn down over the centuries, but some are still well preserved. We should cherish these historical walls and preserve them for a long time, so that our children and grandchildren can see the outstanding architectural works of the ancients.

Pingyao, Shanxi, Kaifeng, Henan, Dali, Yunnan and other places in China still have well-preserved city walls. Now our country pays special attention to the protection of ancient buildings, many of them have become places of interest because of their long history, but many monuments may encounter various situations in the process of development and are destroyed, and they are not perfect before, just like the city wall, but also the symbol of the ancient war, there will be a corresponding city wall outside the city of each dynasty, but many have been demolished or destroyed, and there are the following places that have been preserved intact until now.

Pingyao, Shanxi. When it comes to Shanxi, many people's first impression may be coal, but this is also the impression of a long time ago, and now Shanxi is also constantly developing, there are many places of interest and historic sites, which are worth visiting, and there are also well-preserved ancient city walls in Pingyao, Shanxi. The ancient city walls here are one of the most well-preserved areas in our countryThe ancient city of Pingyao has a long history, and many people come to visit every year, and the whole ancient city is very well preserved.

Kaifeng, Henan. Kaifeng is also a city with a very long history, and it was also an ancient capital during the Northern Song Dynasty. The city wall of Kaifeng was built in the Qing Dynasty, and the city wall of Kaifeng is kilometers longIt is the second largest ancient city wall building in China after the Nanjing City Wall.

Although it has been restored in the process of development, the scale and pattern are still very well preserved.

Dali, Yunnan. When it comes to Yunnan Dali, you may think of its beautiful scenery, the city wall of Yunnan Dali, the history is also very long, it was built in the Tang Dynasty during the Xuanzong Tianbao period, and it is also very well preserved. If we want to travel, we can also go to these places to experience the ancient Chinese culture.

The most intact should still be the city wall of Chang'an City, the current city wall of Xi'an, the overall rectangular, brick and tile are all conveyed the scene of the golden iron horse of the year, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.

Didn't anyone talk about Shangqiu Ancient City? At present, the world's most well-preserved ancient city, there are moats, more than 4,000 years ago, the world's only Bagua City, water city, city stacked city of large ancient city ruins.

China's Xi'an City Wall, Nanjing City Wall, Pingyao City Wall, as well as Shanhaiguan and Badaling Great Wall all have well-preserved ancient city walls.

Unlike other ancient cities, which have discontinuities and reconstructions, the ancient city of Jingzhou is the most complete. Except for the three new doors that have been opened in the past 30 years to ease traffic, the others are original ancient walls, and the maintenance is also a small seam and small repair.

Nanyang Plum City is very distinctive, and other city walls are different, but unfortunately demolished. However, preparations are now underway for reconstruction, and the city bricks are currently being collected, and when the wall is demolished, the city bricks are taken by the people to repair houses and repair pigsties.

There are too many modern maintenance additions to the city walls of Xi'an and Nanjing, and I think that the Kaifeng kilometer Qing city wall (because of the flooding of the Yellow River and the rebuilding of the original site of the Song city wall) can be called a complete and large-scale ancient city wall.

There are really not many well-preserved, Xi'an is better preserved, all are the most intact, Pingyao is the best preserved county, basically the entire county is preserved, Nanjing's city wall is not as good as Xi'an, but it is much stronger than Beijing, and other cities are scattered.

Take a look at the ancient city wall moat of Xiangyang, which also has gun holes left by the Liberation War.

What is an ancient city? One is the long history, the second is that there are walls and gates, and the third is that it is inhabited. Fourth, there are many old buildings in the city. Therefore, the ancient cities that can really be famous include Pingyao in Shanxi, Phoenix in Hunan, Xingcheng in Liaoning, Zhaohua in Sichuan, Dali in Yunnan and so on.

The Ming city wall of Jingzhou is well preserved, but two more doors have been opened!

Broadly speaking, the Great Wall should be counted, and some other ancient important towns and passes, such as Nanjing, Shanhaiguan, etc., also have that kind of stone city wall.

That city also did not have well-preserved ancient walls, only the foundations were well preserved, and the city walls were basically intact, and the walls there were not extensively restored.

The ancient city wall of Xingtai, unfortunately, the 3,500-year-old ancient city wall was demolished in the Liberation War.

There are many well-preserved city walls in China now. For example, there are Xi'an City Wall in Shaanxi, Nanjing City Wall in Jiangsu, Pingyao City Wall in Shanxi, Xiangyang City Wall in Hubei, Xiangyang City Wall in Hubei, Jingzhou City Wall in Hubei, Xingcheng City Wall in Liaoning, Datong City Wall in Shanxi, and Taizhou Mansion in Linhai, Zhejiang. And so on and so forth.

The current Xi'an city wall is the imperial city of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the original Xi'an outer city is much larger than the Nanjing city.

There is Xi'an, Nanjing also has a well-preserved city wall, and the ancient city wall of Xi'an is still the largest preserved city wall building.

Speaking of city walls, it is estimated that the oldest surviving period is the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Guancheng of Zhengzhou was restored on the ruins, and the most intact is the ancient Cai city wall in Shangcai County.

The ancient city of Kaifeng is well protected and restored. Lankao County also has a 200-meter wall of the Ming and Qing dynasties next to our village, but one side was stripped off by someone and the other side was used as a courtyard wall, and the city tower was also modified, and a red five-pointed star was painted on it: Long live the Communist Party of China.

I think it's still our current Great Wall that is strong and intact. After several years of trampling by tourists, it is still undamaged. It's the same momentum as it was back then.
