Injecting "cultural soul" into the "industrial style"

2025-03-31

In recent years, various regions have increased efforts to protect and utilize industrial heritage, creating new urban cultural landmarks that blend functionality and scenery, transforming steel mills with splashing steel flowers into urban parks, porcelain factories with raging kiln fires into cultural and creative blocks, and machinery factories with roaring machines into industrial museums. The role of culture cannot be underestimated, as it has transformed from a glamorous industrial rust belt to a vibrant lifestyle belt. Beijing 798 Industrial Park has grown from an electronic industrial park to a world-renowned art district, thanks to the charm of culture. Strolling through the 798 Industrial Park, tourists can experience the beauty of art and the novelty of creativity up close, and feel the unique charm of the fusion of tradition and modernity in this ancient capital of Beijing. Similarly, Taoxichuan in Jingdezhen, originally the site of a porcelain factory, has now become a cultural district that gathers creativity. Its charm comes from the inheritance and innovation of ceramic culture. It is precisely because the "industrial style" has been infused with the "cultural soul" that industrial heritage has transformed into industrial cultural heritage, highlighting its historical, cultural, and scientific value. Culture is the soul. Industrial heritage is not only a physical entity, but also a cultural and spiritual carrier. Many industrial heritages not only record an extraordinary entrepreneurial history, but also carry valuable spiritual wealth. Throughout history, in every factory and workshop, people have been producing, living, innovating, and creating with enthusiasm and hard work. The days of millions of families have become increasingly prosperous. Our motherland is also in the process of industrialization, from accumulating poverty and weakness to standing up, becoming rich, and becoming strong. In the China Industrial Museum, which was transformed from the original Shenyang Foundry site, many "firsts" in the history of Chinese industry are displayed, telling vivid stories and conveying a strong spirit of patriotism, dedication, and innovation. By understanding these spirits, history becomes vivid and deeply engraved in the mind. Culture thrives and originates from innovation. The protection and utilization of industrial heritage cannot be separated from innovation. Only through continuous innovation can we adapt to the pace of urban renewal and integrate into the overall context of the city. The giant coal bunker in Beijing Shougang Park has been transformed into an art exhibition space, while the abandoned factory area in the eastern suburbs of Chengdu has been transformed into a cultural and creative gathering area for digital music, e-sports, and other activities. With a change in mindset, a large number of industrial enterprises, factories, mines, and other entities that have already exited the historical stage have undergone creative transformation and innovative development, revitalizing and blooming with vitality. Therefore, in the protection and utilization of industrial heritage, culture should be placed in an important position, and the cultural connotations and spiritual values contained in industrial heritage should be deeply explored. The charm and spiritual power of culture should be extracted and displayed, laying a cultural foundation for the long-term healthy development of industrial heritage. (New Society)
