歷史文化遺產是一個國家一個民族長期形成的物質文明和精神文明的杰作，毀之不再生，催之不可成。保護好歷史文化遺產，讓她們在今天現代化中繼續發光，正是一種現代文明的象征。保護歷史文化遺產與現代化建設似乎是一對矛盾，但實踐證明兩者完全可以共存共榮，互相促進。-二百年前，歐洲人在產業革命初期也曾大肆破壞古建筑古城堡，不過他們很快覺醒，從法律制度和市民意識上著手，嚴加保護。今天，一批批中國人去法國、英國、意大利等國，看到的是古與今、舊與新之間的和諧生輝，古城區的原汁原味，幾乎看不到拆房擴路的舊城改造，然而那里照樣游人如織，環境優美，經濟發達?？墒?，我們不少人考察回來后只記住高樓大廈，忘記了保護歷史。中國是世界四大文明古國之一，這些年文物保護成績是顯著的，同時對文物建設性破壞的情況也令人吃驚。中國現有21處世界遺產中，浙江還是空白。其實浙江是文物大省，杭州、紹興、定海、塘棲等地的古城區，原先足以與平遙、麗江媲美，甚至更有優勢。她們躲過了自然災害、政治運動，卻倒在現代化建設的誤區中，真是上對不起祖宗，下對不起子孫后代，實在令人遺憾。搶救歷史文化遺產確實到了刻不容緩的時候了!最近浙江省人大常委會頒布了《浙江省歷史文化名城保護條例》，從法律上筑起了又一道保護的屏障。只要我們切實做到有法必依，執法必嚴，歷史文化遺產就會得到很好的保護。

為什么歷史文化遺產的破壞屢禁不止呢?其中一個重要的原因就是沒有處理好如何看待政績的問題。客觀上，父母官有壓力，總想在任期內改善群眾生活條件和市容市貌。這當然是好事。我們不但不反對，而且要盡力支持，問題是怎樣正確認識并把握政績。我認為，建設新城是政績，保護古城、留住中華民族的優秀遺產也是政績，后者做起來更不容易，更需要有遠見。紐約、香港歷史很短，是在海島、沙灘上建成的現代化國際大都市；倫敦、巴黎、羅馬歷史悠久，精心呵護古城，同樣可以成為著名的國際大都市。周莊、西塘等江南6個古鎮，今天名聲大振，成為旅游熱點，其實浙江原來條件更好的古鎮有不少，但都被以破舊、落后等借口一一拆毀掉了。這些古鎮雖然面貌一新，但沒有特色和知名度，也沒有游人和吸引力。城市化進程中必須注意保護歷史，堅持特色，而百城一面、千街一面正是現代化的一忌。杭州是有2200多年歷史的古城，有層層疊疊的歷史積淀，不能將精華與糟粕一起扔掉，在古城區內不宜采用深圳、上海浦東等新興城市的辦法。仇保興同志到杭州上任不久，就與其他市領導在記者來信中批示緊急保護河坊街及其附近地區，保古城建新區，進而將西湖申報世界遺產提上議程，邀請國內外專家獻計獻策，這適合時代潮流，符合民心，我看這就是一大政績。

對外開放使我們意識到保護歷史文化遺產的重要性和艱巨性，然而，我們不少人在觀念、行為上仍處于一種蒙昧或自然滿足的狀態中。保護歷史文化名城和7a686964616fe78988e69d西湖申報世界遺產，是杭州在21世紀進一步對外開放，成為國際性的風景旅游城市的關鍵性步驟。因此，從現在起，有關的各項工作就應當按世界遺產的標準來衡量，與世界接軌。踏踏實實，一步一步努力，再大的困難也會變小，再小的希望也會增大，直至成功。保護歷史文化遺產利在當代，功在千秋。
Historical and cultural heritage of a country is a nation formed long-term material and spiritual masterpiece, not destroyed Health, a non reminders. Protect the historical and cultural heritage, so that they continue to this modern luminescence, is a symbol of modern civilization. The protection of historical and cultural heritage with the modernization drive seems to be a contradiction, but the practice can prove both coexistence and common prosperity, and promote each other. -- Two hundred years ago, Europeans in the early industrial revolution have wantonly destroyed ancient architecture of the castle, but they soon awaken from the legal system and public awareness proceed in strict protection. Today, groups of Chinese people to France, Britain, Italy and other countries, that is ancient and modern, old and new harmony between Light, the city of genuine, almost see expanding road demolitions transformation of the old city, however, there still Liurenruzhi, beautiful environment, and economic development. However, we have inspected many people remember back only after high-rise buildings, the protection of historical forget. China is one of the world's four major ancient civilizations, these achievements in heritage preservation is significant, but heritage constructive destruction is also alarming. China now has 21 World Heritage, Zhejiang or blank. In fact, Heritage is a big province of Zhejiang, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Dinghai, the Tangxi, such as the ancient city, is the original and Pingyao, Lijiang comparable, or even more advantages. They survived natural disasters, political movements, but fell on the modernization of errors, really, I am sorry our ancestors, I am sorry the future generations, and indeed regrettable. Rescue historical and cultural heritage is of no delay time! Recent Zhejiang People's Congress Standing Committee promulgated the historical and cultural city in Zhejiang Province Protection Ordinance, and from the legal protection to build another one of the barriers. As long as we ensure that there are effective laws must be strictly enforced, and historical and cultural heritage will be well protected.

Why destroy the cultural heritage of the history despite repeated prohibition? One of the important reasons is that they did not deal with how to treat the political achievements. Objectively speaking, parent officials feel the pressure of always want to improve living conditions of the masses and the face of the city. This, of course, is a good thing. We not only did not oppose, but also to do its utmost to support, the problem is how to correctly understand and grasp the political achievements. I think that Metro is building performance, the protection of the ancient city, and retaining heritage is the Chinese nation's outstanding performance, which is not easy to do more, we need visionary. New York, the history of Hong Kong is very short, in the island, built on the beach of a modern international metropolis in London, Paris, Rome has a long history, and carefully protected the ancient city, the same can become famous international metropolis. Zhouzhuang, such as Jiangnan six Xitang Town, famous for today, become a tourist hot spot, in fact better conditions Zhejiang original town there are many, but they were old and backward the demolition of an excuse January 1 lost. Although these town recognizable, but no character and reputation, no visitors and attractive. In the process of urbanization must pay attention to the protection of historical, insisted characteristics, a city of 100, 1000 Street is a modern one bogey. Hangzhou is a city of 2,200 years of history, layer upon layer of historical accumulation should not be thrown away with the dregs and the essence, the district should not be used in the ancient city of Shenzhen and Shanghai's Pudong and other burgeoning urban approach. Qiu Baoxing, Comrade Hangzhou soon after taking office, and other city leaders at a letter written to protect emergency Hefang Street and the surrounding area, city-built area, which will be declared World Heritage Westlake put on the agenda, invite domestic and foreign experts offered advice and suggestions, This suited to the trend of the times, in line with the people, I think this is a great performance.

Opening to the outside world that we are aware of the importance of the protection of historical and cultural heritage and arduous, but many people in our concepts, behavioural or ignorance remains in a natural state in the meet. The protection of historical and cultural cities and declared World Heritage West Lake, Hangzhou is the further opening to the outside world in the 21st century, into an international tourist city landscape key steps. Therefore, from now on, the work should be on the World Heritage standards of the world community. Down, step-by-step efforts, no difficulty can become small, small hope will further increase until successful. The protection of historical and cultural heritage in the contemporary benefits, and the credit centuries.
