Starting from the Bell and Drum Tower in the north and ending at Yongding Gate in the south, the total length is about 7.8 kilometers. The central axis of Beijing is one of the longest and most complete ancient urban axes in the world, known as the soul and backbone of the old city of Beijing, and was included in the Preparatory List of China's World Cultural Heritage in 2012. To provide legal guarantee for the protection of the central axis and the application for the World Heritage, on May 25 this year, the Beijing Central Axis Cultural Heritage Protection Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the "Regulations") was deliberated and adopted at the 39th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 15th People's Congress of Beijing, and officially implemented on October 1. "It is the first time to put forward the overall protection of the central axis and its environment", "establish a discussion and coordination mechanism", "establish a heritage resource survey and protection monitoring reporting system", "define the public participation mechanism for heritage protection"... Referring to the highlights of the "Rules", which took more than three years and passed three deliberations, Wang Rongmei, director of the Legal Affairs Office of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal People's Congress, is as familiar as a book. What to protect - pay attention to the overall protection, polish the golden card of history and culture, walk along the central axis of Beijing in the early winter, and a beautiful picture slowly unfolds: the Zhengyang Gate Arrow Tower stands tall, and the gray ancient city bricks show the vicissitudes of time; By the side of the Bell and Drum Tower, pigeons fly across the sky, and the Old Hutong is leisurely and quiet... The Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, Jingshan Mountain... When it comes to the central axis, people first think of scenic spots. In fact, this urban axis, which started in the Yuan Dynasty and lasted for more than 700 years, has rich connotations and diverse elements. "The central axis is an organic combination of tangible and intangible, and tangible buildings have intangible spiritual value behind them." Chen Mingjie, director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Heritage and director of the Beijing Central Axis Cultural Heritage Application and Protection Office, introduced that in order to protect the central axis and its environment as a whole, in addition to each heritage site, the Regulations will form historical streets, urban landmarks, historical river and lake water systems Historical and cultural resources such as ancient trees and famous trees, historical and cultural blocks and other traditional bungalow areas that are important background environments of Beijing's central axis, as well as national etiquette traditions and urban management traditions that are closely related to the value of the central axis, have also been stipulated as protection objects. "This avoids the 'bonsai' protection of the central axis and reflects the change in the concept of cultural heritage protection," said Qin Hongling, a deputy to the Beijing Municipal People's Congress and dean of the Humanities School of Beijing Jianzhu University. How to protect - adhere to the problem orientation and comprehensively improve the protection and management level of 3 world heritage sites, 11 national key cultural relics protection sites, 2 cultural relics protection sites in Beijing, a large number of historical buildings, cultural relics not classified... As a large-scale cultural heritage, there are many central axis protection and management institutions, and the rights and obligations of the protection subject need to be clarified; The capital investment mainly comes from the financial funds, and there is a gap between the funds for the restoration and retirement of cultural relics and the comprehensive improvement of the environment; The decline of some cultural relics and historical buildings and the rectification of super-high buildings that affect the requirements for the protection of style and features lack a clear legal basis... "We adhere to the problem orientation and focus on solving the difficult problems in the protection of the cultural heritage of the central axis in the legislative process. Starting from the system and mechanism, we provide legal protection for the protection of the central axis for applying for the World Heritage." Chen Mingjie said. "During the formulation of the Regulations, the legislative team will open the door
