古城大同是国务院公布的我国首批24个历史文化名城之一。且以她“三朝京华、两朝重镇”的辉煌历史和地上地下丰富的文物名列文化名城的第三位。但是随着城市现代化建设,大量的城墙、城楼、牌楼、牌坊、寺庙、戏台被拆毁,旧城的唐坊街道格局多被破坏。大同的许多有识之士和众多的人大代表为此大声疾呼,保护和抢救大同这一历史文化名城已成为朝野上下共同的呼声。 Datong, the ancient city, is one of the first 24 historical and cultural cities in China announced by the State Council. And with her “Three Dynasties Jinghua, the important center of the two dynasties,” the glorious history and underground rich cultural relics ranked third in the cultural city. However, with the modernization of the city, a large number of city walls, watchtowers, arches, arches, temples and theaters were demolished. The layout of the Tangfang Street in the old city was mostly destroyed. Many people of insight in Datong and many people’s deputies shouted loudly for this purpose. To protect and rescue Datong, a famous historical and cultural city, has become the common voice of both government and people.
