历史文化遗产是一个国家一个民族长期形成的物质文明和精神文明的杰作，毁之不再生，催之不可成。保护好历史文化遗产，让她们在今天现代化中继续发光，正是一种现代文明的象征。保护历史文化遗产与现代化建设似乎是一对矛盾，但实践证明两者完全可以共存共荣，互相促进。-二百年前，欧洲人在产业革命初期也曾大肆破坏古建筑古城堡，不过他们很快觉醒，从法律制度和市民意识上着手，严加保护。今天，一批批中国人去法国、英国、意大利等国，看到的是古与今、旧与新之间的和谐生辉，古城区的原汁原味，几乎看不到拆房扩路的旧城改造，然而那里照样游人如织，环境优美，经济发达。可是，我们不少人考察回来后只记住高楼大厦，忘记了保护历史。中国是世界四大文明古国之一，这些年文物保护成绩是显著的，同时对文物建设性破坏的情况也令人吃惊。中国现有21处世界遗产中，浙江还是空白。其实浙江是文物大省，杭州、绍兴、定海、塘栖等地的古城区，原先足以与平遥、丽江媲美，甚至更有优势。她们躲过了自然灾害、政治运动，却倒在现代化建设的误区中，真是上对不起祖宗，下对不起子孙后代，实在令人遗憾。抢救历史文化遗产确实到了刻不容缓的时候了!最近浙江省人大常委会颁布了《浙江省历史文化名城保护条例》，从法律上筑起了又一道保护的屏障。只要我们切实做到有法必依，执法必严，历史文化遗产就会得到很好的保护。

为什么历史文化遗产的破坏屡禁不止呢?其中一个重要的原因就是没有处理好如何看待政绩的问题。客观上，父母官有压力，总想在任期内改善群众生活条件和市容市貌。这当然是好事。我们不但不反对，而且要尽力支持，问题是怎样正确认识并把握政绩。我认为，建设新城是政绩，保护古城、留住中华民族的优秀遗产也是政绩，后者做起来更不容易，更需要有远见。纽约、香港历史很短，是在海岛、沙滩上建成的现代化国际大都市；伦敦、巴黎、罗马历史悠久，精心呵护古城，同样可以成为著名的国际大都市。周庄、西塘等江南6个古镇，今天名声大振，成为旅游热点，其实浙江原来条件更好的古镇有不少，但都被以破旧、落后等借口一一拆毁掉了。这些古镇虽然面貌一新，但没有特色和知名度，也没有游人和吸引力。城市化进程中必须注意保护历史，坚持特色，而百城一面、千街一面正是现代化的一忌。杭州是有2200多年历史的古城，有层层叠叠的历史积淀，不能将精华与糟粕一起扔掉，在古城区内不宜采用深圳、上海浦东等新兴城市的办法。仇保兴同志到杭州上任不久，就与其他市领导在记者来信中批示紧急保护河坊街及其附近地区，保古城建新区，进而将西湖申报世界遗产提上议程，邀请国内外专家献计献策，这适合时代潮流，符合民心，我看这就是一大政绩。

对外开放使我们意识到保护历史文化遗产的重要性和艰巨性，然而，我们不少人在观念、行为上仍处于一种蒙昧或自然满足的状态中。保护历史文化名城和7a686964616fe78988e69d西湖申报世界遗产，是杭州在21世纪进一步对外开放，成为国际性的风景旅游城市的关键性步骤。因此，从现在起，有关的各项工作就应当按世界遗产的标准来衡量，与世界接轨。踏踏实实，一步一步努力，再大的困难也会变小，再小的希望也会增大，直至成功。保护历史文化遗产利在当代，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.
