Research on the Construction of "Two Belts and Multi-Nodes" Ethnic Cultural Landscape of the Great Wall and Grand Canal in Hebei Province

Abstract

Focusing on forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, this study explores pathways for constructing ethnic cultural landscape demonstration zones within the "two belts and multi-nodes" framework along the Great Wall and Grand Canal in Hebei Province. Employing spatial analysis in cultural geography, interdisciplinary research, and field investigation methods, it systematically examines the characteristics of ethnic integration and existing challenges in the cultural landscapes along the Great Wall and Grand Canal. Key proposals include: (1) Cultural Space Reconstruction Strategy: Utilizing scenographic narratives (e.g., intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls, revitalized red heritage sites) to integrate tangible and intangible cultural heritage through a three-step practice path: symbol extraction - scene orchestration - experiential deepening; (2) Eco-Cultural Synergy Mechanism: Achieving sustainable development via water system management (e.g., underwater protection of Panjiakou Great Wall), vegetation restoration (e.g., sand fixation projects in Huairou), and cultural-tourism integration (e.g., festival revitalization, digital linkage); (3) Cross Regional Collaboration Innovation: Leveraging the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Joint Protection Agreement and folk music alliances to transcend administrative boundaries, forming multi-dimensional cooperation paradigms in planning, market development, and academia. The study concludes that demonstration zone construction requires a dual-track approach of "Enriching Minds + Enriching Pockets," elevating cultural heritage preservation to the reconstruction of national spirit and providing a replicable "Hebei Model" for empowering ethnic unity through linear cultural heritage.
