Keywords:: Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal; Huaian; cultural heritage; remains; protection and utilization

摘要:: 淮安开挖运河的历史可上溯到徐偃王时代。运河淮安段是京杭大运河申报世界文化遗产的重要组成部分。运河淮安段的物质与非物质文化遗产的遗存超过了运河沿线的其他地区或城市。具体地讲,主要有四个方面构成:一是航道及水利工程遗存; 二是运河沿岸城镇及相关的文化遗存; 三是运河沿线的非物质文化遗产; 四是运河沿岸的人文景观和自然景观。千百年来,运河淮安段的文化遗存作为一种独特的文化形态不但没有因运河的兴衰和社会的变迁消亡,反而以其坚韧的生命力顽强地保留和延续下来。然而,在工业化和现代化的进程中,这些文化的遗存正遭受严重的破坏。深入地思考这一文化现象,以积极的态度对其进行评估,不但有利于对其文化遗产实施有效的保护,更重要的是可以纠正经济建设中的偏差。

Abstract:: The history of canal construction in Huaian can be traced back to the period of King Xu Yan. As an important part of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal which is now applying for the World Cultural Heritage, the Huaian section has more remains of tangible and intangible cultural heritages than other sections along the canal. To be specific, the cultural heritage of Huaian section consists of the following four aspects: 1)the remains of the channel and hydraulic engineering constructions; 2)the cultural remains of the towns along the canal; 3)the intangible cultural heritage along the canal; 4)the human and natural landscapes along the canal. Over hundreds of years, these remains did not decline with the canal’s rise and fall or the social changes, but instead kept their unique cultural forms with great vitality. However, during the process of industrialization and modernization, those remains are suffering serious damage. All this provokes our deep thinking and requires us to take a positive attitude when assessing the value of the canal, which will surely help protect this cultural heritage effectively and correct the deviations in economic construction.
