On June 21, the Ningbo branch event of "Eastern Zhejiang Canal—a Dialogue between Hangzhou and Ningbo" opened in Cicheng Art Museum. The theme of this year's event is "the ancient charm and new sound of the Grand Canal".
Today is a special day for the ninth anniversary of China's Grand Canal's successful application for World Heritage, and the "Eastern Zhejiang Canal—a Dialogue between Hangzhou and Ningbo" activity has also gone through three years.
Eastern Zhejiang Canal connects Hangzhou and Ningbo. Over the past three years, Hangzhou and Ningbo have worked together to highlight the cultural charm of Eastern Zhejiang Canal, and show Zhejiang's efforts and achievements in the protection and utilization of the Grand Canal's cultural heritage.
The Implementation Measures for the Protection of the World Cultural Heritage of the Ningbo Grand Canal were officially implemented yesterday. The implementation of this new regulation means that the protection, inheritance, and utilization of the Ningbo section of the canal have entered a new historical stage.
A series of exciting activities such as canal stories, student dialogues, and intangible cultural heritage exhibitions were held simultaneously in Ningbo and Hangzhou through online live streaming.
Schools in Hangzhou and Ningbo jointly released school-based curriculum on canal themed culture. Zhonghe Experimental Primary School in Yinzhou District, Ningbo and Jingdu Primary School in Hangzhou have established a pairing alliance for canal cultural exchange. In the future, the two schools will initiate a cooperative dialogue mechanism for activating, inheriting, and utilizing canal culture through resource sharing and complementary advantages.
In view of the serious and significant performance in the legal publicity of the Grand Canal in Ningbo, Zhenhai District Refining and Chemical Primary School and Yinzhou District Zhonghe Experimental Primary School have been awarded the title of "Ningbo Grand Canal Legislative Promotion School"
