However, according to our inquiries to nearby residents, No.98 Haier Lane in Hangzhou was an unknown ancient building before 1997, and the subsequent demolition storm gradually unveiled its historical veil.
During the period of 1997, Baobei Lane, located in the center of Hangzhou, was included in the scope of old city reconstruction in Xiacheng District of Hangzhou, and it was planned to be converted into the expansion land of a middle school sports ground. 1998 applied for approval, and 46 residential houses including No.98 Baby Lane were included in the demolition scope. At that time, the old residents were in a hurry and rushed to various departments to call for the protection of this ancient house.
However, according to the research of the municipal cultural protection department, No.98 Baby Lane is not the former residence of Lu You, but a building in the late Qing Dynasty, and the old house will still be demolished.
1in may, 1999, major media in Hang Cheng reported on No.98, which aroused strong response from all walks of life. Many citizens come to visit and the voice for preservation is getting louder and louder. More than 2000 citizens signed a letter to the city leaders, asking to keep this ancient house.
1July, 1999, the Xiacheng District Committee also clearly stated that it would take protective measures for the ancient building No.98 in Haier Lane. No.98, Haier Lane, temporarily survived the transformation of the old city.
In the next two years, the building was teetering in the wind and rain. The demolition of houses and the protection of houses are arguing endlessly, and the fate of the ancient building No.98 in Haier Lane is once again turbulent.
In July 2002, according to many authoritative sources in the field of architectural history and culture, this house was built in the Qing Dynasty on the basis of the Song Dynasty. The west wall of No.98 courtyard in Haier Lane is a Song wall, which is extremely rare. The main structure of the house is the column foundation, "shell window" and carved doors and windows in the Ming Dynasty, which belongs to the Qing Dynasty and has important cultural relics value.
On July 29th, Hangzhou Housing Authority officially decided to stop the demolition of No.98 house in Baby Lane. On September 16, Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court made a final judgment and refused to dismantle it. No.98 Baby Lane has been preserved through many efforts.
Listening to the residents' stories about this tortuous history, our hearts, like those of countless people in Hang Cheng, are constantly fluctuating with the fate of this crumbling building ... We walked into this unfinished old house, hoping to find some traces of history through close observation.
After a day of on-the-spot observation and visit, we deeply realize that we still have a lot of work to do to further enrich the connotation of Hangzhou's famous historical and cultural city, and college students can take on many responsibilities. It can help college students inherit, protect and develop history and culture, and has good scientific and cultural quality. We can strengthen publicity and education, update ideas, strengthen legislation and publicity on the protection of historic and cultural cities in Hangzhou, raise the awareness of citizens and government agencies on the protection of historic and cultural cities, and incorporate the protection of famous cities into the overall planning of urban transformation, development and construction. Starting from the overall development of Hangzhou city, we should attach importance to cultural relics and historic sites. Historical areas, historical features, historical and cultural traditions are protected by points, lines and pieces that combine regional overall protection with unit protection and utilization, and are protected in a hierarchical and focused manner; In order to set up different styles of protected areas according to different cultural connotations in areas where cultural relics are concentrated, the community protection area of architectural streets and lanes in Qinghefang area is a good example. According to the students who went there deeply, the people in Qinghefang were busy and lively, which not only restored the original appearance of history, but also developed economic value. Many time-honored and century-old shops are full of new vitality, and national brands are full of vitality again. Hang Cheng's yesterday and today fit perfectly here.
