The steel factory with splashing steel flowers turned into a city park, the porcelain factory with blazing kiln fire turned into a cultural and creative block, and the machinery factory with roaring machines turned into an industrial museum... In recent years, various places have increased their efforts to protect and utilize industrial heritage and create a new urban cultural landmark that blends functions and scenes, which is refreshing.

The role of culture cannot be underestimated since the gorgeous transformation from the "industrial rust belt" to the "life show belt". Beijing 798 Park has grown from an electronics industrial park to a world-renowned art district, relying on the charm of culture. Walking around the 798 park, tourists can experience the beauty of art, the novelty of creativity and the unique charm of the ancient capital of Beijing that blends tradition and modernity. Similarly, Taoxichuan, Jingdezhen, was originally the former site of a porcelain factory, and now it has become a cultural block that brings creativity. Its charm comes from the inheritance and innovation of ceramic culture.

It is precisely because the "industrial style" is injected into the "cultural soul" that industrial heritage has been transformed into industrial cultural heritage, and its historical, cultural and scientific values ​​are more prominent.

Culture is the soul. Industrial heritage is not only a physical entity, but also a cultural and spiritual carrier. Many industrial heritage not only records an extraordinary entrepreneurial history, but also carries valuable spiritual wealth. In the historical years, in factories and workshops, people have produced, lived, innovated and created, full of enthusiasm and hard work, and the lives of millions of families have become more and more prosperous. Our motherland is also in the process of industrialization, from poverty and weakness to standing up, becoming rich and becoming strong. In the China Industrial Museum, which was transformed from the former Shenyang Foundry site, it displays many "firsts" in the industrial history of New China, tells vivid stories, and conveys a strong spirit of patriotism, dedication and innovation. By understanding these spirits, history will become vivid and deeply immersed in your mind.

Culture is endless and comes from innovation. The protection and utilization of industrial heritage cannot be separated from innovation. Only by continuous innovation can we adapt to the pace of urban renewal and integrate into the overall urban context. The giant coal silo in Beijing Shougang Park has been transformed into an art display space. Chengdu Dongjiao Memory has transformed the abandoned factory into a cultural and creative gathering area such as digital music and e-sports... The idea has changed and the world has widened. A large number of industrial enterprises, factories, mines, etc. that have withdrawn from the historical stage have been revitalized and revitalized after creative transformation and innovative development.

Therefore, in the protection and utilization of industrial heritage, culture should be placed in an important position, deeply explore the cultural connotation and spiritual value contained in industrial heritage, refine and display the charm and spiritual power of culture, and lay a cultural foundation for the long-term and healthy development of industrial heritage.
