Ricerca sulla genesi culturale del distretto storico e culturale di Guangzhou Guangfunan e sui metodi ereditari = Research on the Cultural Genealogy of Guangzhou Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District and its Inheritance Methods

As a representative of China's famous historical and cultural city, Guangzhou carries a profound Lingnan cultural heritage. As a witness of the city's cultural development process and a typical representative of Guangzhou's traditional mixed commercial and residential districts, the Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District carries rich historical and humanistic resources and unique Lingnan cultural characteristics, which are representative of the region, so the convertion and renewal of the Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District is also a matter of great concern. This study takes Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District as the research object, and explores its conservation and renewal strategies from the perspective of cultural genes. By extracting and analyzing the cultural genes of Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District in Guangzhou, this study aims to provide practical paths for the continuation of local culture in Lingnan as well as the protection and development of Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District. Taking the theory of cultural genes as a starting point, the paper explains its origin and development in the West and China, and its application in the conservation and renewal of historic districts, analyzes the characteristics and roles of cultural genes, as well as the principles of classifying and determining cultural genes in historic districts. Through several practical case studies of historic districts, the classification method of cultural genes and the specific strategies of conservation and renewal are explained in detail, and the experiences that can be learned from the conservation and renewal of historic districts are summarized. As far as the Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District is concerned, the cultural genes of the district can be divided into material and intangible cultural genes according to their different forms. Through the field research and data collection of Guangzhou Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District, we comprehensively analyzed its material and non-material cultural genes, constructed the cultural genealogy of Guangfunan Historical and Cultural District, classified different forms of cultural genes according to their own attributes, summarized the existing problems of the district, and then put forward the principles of preservation and updating, and put forward three modes of cultural gene inheritance: gene conservation, gene repair, and gene recombination for the cultural genes with different attributes. This study provides useful references and practical cases for the conservation and renewal of historic districts, which can promote the sustainable development of Guangzhou's historic districts while preserving the historical and cultural heritage, and also open up new ideas for the revitalization of historic districts in other cities.
