The national famous historical and cultural city is an important yardstick to measure the soft power of urban culture. It is the best city card that embodies the historical details, carries the cultural connotation and displays the city spirit. On September 2, according to the office of the leading group for the city's declaration of national historical and cultural city, Jiangsu provincial government has officially issued an official reply, agreeing to list our city as a famous historical and cultural city in Jiangsu Province. It is reported that the successful application is a major breakthrough in the relevant fields of our city. After being approved as a provincial historical and cultural city, our city will take advantage of the situation and actively apply for the national famous historical and cultural city.

"Lianyungang has a long-standing history and culture, and is one of the important birthplaces of China's 5000 year civilization." According to the relevant person in charge of the city's name application office, since the start of the application work in November 2017, the whole city has faced difficulties and made a lot of solid and effective work. In the process, our city adheres to the principle of "planning first, protection first, rescue first, rational utilization and scientific management". Based on the characteristics of the city, we refine the value of the city, clarify the protection principles and objectives, and compile a series of special plans and supporting plans such as the historical and cultural (famous city) protection plan, so as to build a set of multilevel, network, and multifold protection planning system. Specific work has been done to the protection of cultural relics and historic sites in our city, the repair and protection of historical blocks and historical areas and the environmental renovation, as well as the excavation of intangible cultural heritage have been given practical support.

Since this year, the city's name application work has been deepened in two aspects from the protection of individual cultural relics to the protection of the surrounding environment of cultural relics and historic sites and the whole historical block. In the process of urban construction, more attention has been paid to the protection of the ancient city pattern, historical streets and alleys, ancient towns and villages, and the control of the style and height of new projects.

"To be approved as a provincial famous city is a periodic target, and the ultimate goal of our city is to become a national historical and cultural city." According to the reports, "this application is an objective need to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of our city, build a harmonious people's livelihood and highlight the city's personality. It is an important measure to achieve "high quality development, late development advantage", and an important carrier to enhance the inherent requirements of the city's image and improve the city's cultural soft power. It is of great significance to enhance the comprehensive competitiveness and reputation of our city, and enhance the sense of identity and happiness of the citizens. "

Next, in accordance with the spirit of the provincial government's reply and relevant regulations, the city will clarify the protection principles and key points, deepen the protection, utilization and inheritance of various historical and cultural heritage, correctly handle the relationship between urban construction and protection of historical and cultural heritage, and deeply study and explore the connotation and value of historical and cultural heritage. At the same time, the relevant protection planning should be carefully prepared to meet the control requirements of land and space planning, and the main contents should be included in the overall planning and detailed planning. Reasonably delimit the protection scope and construction control zone of historical and cultural blocks, cultural relics protection units and historical buildings, formulate relevant protection measures and strictly implement them to help Lianyungang smoothly become a national historical and cultural city.
