EDITOR
Cultural landscape
Includes gardens and park landscapes built for aesthetic reasons, which are often (but not always) associated with religious or other conceptual buildings or groups of buildings.
The landscape of organic evolution
It arises from an initial social, economic, administrative and religious need and develops through connection with or adaptation to the surrounding natural environment. It also includes two sub-categories: one is the remains ( fossil A landscape represents an evolutionary process that has come to an end at some point in the past, whether abruptly or gradually. The reason why they have outstanding and universal value is that the salient characteristics are still reflected in the physical object. The second is the continuous landscape, which maintains an active social role in a local society associated with a traditional way of life, is still evolving itself, and at the same time exhibits the physical evidence of its evolution throughout history.
The novelty of the World Heritage Convention is that it links conservation of nature and culture, hitherto considered almost separate. Everything in the world is nothing more than natural and artificial. For a long time, nature and culture have been regarded as two opposing factors. However, natural existence and artificial creation have different properties, but there is an inseparable connection between them and they complement each other. The most beautiful works of human creation are often due to their harmonious unity with the natural environment, and some of the most spectacular natural landscapes often bear the deep imprint of human activity.

◎ Overview
Wulingyuan Scenic spot Located in the northwest of Central China's Hunan Province, it is the first of its kind in China National forest park - Zhangjiajie National Forest Park , Suoxiyu Nature Reserve , Tianzishan Nature Reserve and Yang Jiajie The scenic area covers 369 square kilometers. It is one of the first selected World Natural Heritage sites in China. Global geopark , national first batch 5A tourist attraction . Zhangjiajie Yongding District Tianmen Mountain The National Forest Park was rated as a 4A tourist attraction in 2007.
Wulingyuan Scenic Area is a newly discovered scenic spot in the early 1980s. The scenery here has not gone through any artificial carving, and is full of stone columns and peaks, cliffs and cliffs, Old and famous trees Clouds and fumes, streams and waterfalls, rare birds and exotic animals. In it, it is like entering a magical world and interesting art landscape corridor.
Wulingyuan is unique Quartz sandstone Peak forest is rare at home and abroad, in more than 360 square kilometers of area, known to have more than 3000 peaks, these abrupt rock wall peak stone, stretching thousands of hectares, layers of peaks. When the rain is clear or rainy weather, the clouds produced in the valley around the mountains, the sea of clouds is thick and light, the stone peak is hidden, the scene is changing.
Wulingyuan Water around the mountains, it is said that Zhangjiajie alone has "Xiu-shui 800", numerous waterfalls, springs, streams, pools, lakes are their own wonderful. Golden Whip River Is a more than ten kilometers long stream, from Zhangjiajie along the stream can be walked to Suoxiyu The two sides of the canyon face off, the landscape reflects the stream, unique flavor.

Huanglong Cave is 7.5km long, the cave is divided into four layers, the landscape is strange, is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Wulingyuan.
◎ Natural Heritage
Geological landforms of outstanding value
Wulingyuan is in the third uplift zone of Neocathaysia in the regional tectonic system. At long Geological historical period Inside, roughly experienced Wuling The Xuefeng, Indosinian, Yanshan, Himalayan and Neotectonic movements. Wuling - Snow peak movement Laid the base structure of this area. Indochinese movement Shaped the fundamentals of the district Tectonic landform While the mountain and neotectonic movements formed Wulingyuan peculiar Quartz sandstone One of the most basic intrinsic factors of peak forest landscape.
The formation of sandstone peak forest landform is mainly from far Paleozoic erathem Middle and Upper Devonian Series Yuntaiguan Formation The formation of Hehuangjiadun Formation is shown in strata Littoral facies Clastic rock Class characteristics. The rock is pure, the layer is thick, the base is gentle, Vertical joint The development, the rock exposed syncline The outline reflects the special geological tectonic environment and basic conditions of the formation of sandstone peak forest landform landscape. The water erosion and gravity caving caused by external geological activities and their biological and biochemical effects Physical weathering It is shaping Wulingyuan Geomorphic landscape essential external conditions. Therefore, its formation is the result of long-term interaction between internal and external geogravity in a specific geological environment.
Strange and varied landscape
Huanglong Cave, Zhangjiajie "In" China rocket base (The middle title is" Shenzhou No. 5). The success of Shenzhou V has inspired Huanglong Cave The tour guides put this strange cave in the form of a rocket-like stalactite group sculpture named "China Rocket Base", many stalactites have the title of Chinese rocket.
Quartz sandstone Peak forest landform: Wulingyuan has a total of 3103 stone peaks, the peak body distributed in the altitude of 500 ~ 1100 meters, ranging from tens of meters to 400 meters. Fenglin shape landscape body complete dollar shortage, if people, if God, if immortal, if birds, if beasts, if things, ever changing. The characteristics of Wulingyuan quartz sandstone peak forest geomorphology are: pure quality, Thickness of stone The quartz content is 75% to 95%, and the rock layer is more than 520 meters thick. With interlayered structure, namely thick quartz sandstone sandwiched thin layer, extremely thin mica siltstone or shale This layer group structure is conducive to natural sculpture and enhance the sense of image. Rock outcropping syncline outline attitude Gentle (5° ~ 8°, local maximum of 20°), increase the stability of the rock, providing a prerequisite for the rise of the peak forest. Rock formation Vertical joint Development, showing isometric characteristics, spacing is generally more than 15 to 20 meters, to shape a variety of peaks and forests landform And deep canyons provide the conditions.
Based on the above factors, plus in the region Neotectonic movement Intermittent lifting, tilting, water erosion cutting, gravity action, Physical weathering Under the action of various external forces, such as biochemistry and root splitting, the mountain forms a peak forest according to the complex natural evolution process, showing the characteristics of high, flat top and steep wall.
Structural dissolution landform: Wulingyuan The structural dissolution landforms are mainly exposed in Permian system , Triassic system Carbonate distribution area, an area of 30.6 square kilometers, can be divided into five subclasses, can be called" Western Hunan Type" Karst landscape A typical representative of... The main forms are soluble grain, Solder mark , lysin, ladle , solubilization ditch, solubilization tank, Stone bud , buried stone bud, Stone forest Holes, depressions, stone film, funnel, sinkhole , shaft , skylight, volute, underground river, Karst spring Let's wait. Karst caves are mainly concentrated in Suoxiyu North side of the valley and Tianzi Mountain Southeast edge, the total number of dozens. In order to Huanglong Cave The most typical is called" speleology The treasure house of Research "has special value in speleology in terms of sightseeing and exploration.
denude Tectonic landform : Distributed in Silurian detrital regions, see and Sanya class: Clastic rock A surname cuesta Landforms, distributed in Quartz sand Outside the Yanfeng forest landscape, the Ma neck boundary extends to the White Tiger Hall and the sky View extends to the Dajian area; Carp ridge V valley zhongshan landform, distributed in Huping, Shijiayu, Huangjiaping and other places; The low mountain landform of clastic rock, distributed in the outer margin of the middle mountains, the slope is relatively slow, and the valley is an open type V.
Valley erosion Accumulative landform : This type can be divided into mountain front flood fan, terrace and high floodplain. The former is distributed in Saping village Developed in Chuqi Yu - Shi Jiayu Yukou One belt; There are two terraces on both sides of Suoxi River, the second is Pedestal terrace 3-10 meters above the river surface; Jundiping - Yujiazui line high floodplain development, an area of 4 to 5 square kilometers.
A complete ecosystem
Wulingyuan It is located at the edge of the western plateau subregion and the eastern hilly plain subregion, connected with Hubei in the northeast and directly to the west Shennongjia And other places, southwest united in east Guizhou Fanjing Mountain . Various areas of biological infiltration, species rich, especially here complex terrain, steep slope deep gully, coupled with mild climate, rich rainfall, lush forest development, to the survival and reproduction of many species to provide a good environmental conditions. In addition, Wulingyuan has inconvenient transportation, sparse population and less human interference, thus preserving rich biological resources and becoming a concentrated distribution area of many relict plants and rare animals and plants in China. According to research, Wulingyuan has never had a major climate anomaly for thousands of years. Soil erosion , rock mass crumble Or the occurrence of forest pests and diseases and other phenomena, prove Wulingyuan Maintaining a reasonably structured and complete ecosystem has extremely important scientific research value.
Wulingyuan is rich in plant resources: Among many plants, Pinus wulingensis The most widely distributed, the largest number, the most strange shape, there are "three thousand peaks in Wulingyuan, the peak has one hundred and eighty thousand pines" reputation.
Ancient trees are "living relics" in natural heritage. The ancient and famous trees in Wulingyuan have the characteristics of ancient, large, rare, strange and many. Shentang Bay Black fir brain preserved intact primitive forest. An ancient ginkgo tree in Zhangjiajie Village is 44 meters high and has a diameter of 1.59 meters at breast height, which is called one of the natural heritage Living fossil . Grow in Kidney village the Chinese dove tree It is a state level protection Precious tree . These plant germplasm resources have high scientific research value, and their living environment, forest structure, protection and preservation are important research topics.
Valuable wild animals: Wulingyuan Zoogeographically belonging to Oriental realm , Central China It is located at the boundary between the western mountainous plateau subregion and the eastern hilly plain subregion. Here the terrain is complex, the climate is mild, the rainfall is rich, after a long period of erosion weathering, quartz sandstone formed a huge Qifeng different stone, steep slope deep gully, coupled with dense forests, to animals living, reproduction to create a good environmental conditions. After a preliminary investigation, Terrestrial vertebrates There are 116 species in 50 families, including the list of National Key Protected Animals Class I protected animal 3 species, 10 species of second-class protected animals. In the animal world of Wulingyuan, more macaques are present, and according to preliminary observation statistics, there are more than 300. The big gills, which the locals call "salamander", are found in streams, springs and pools. Study animal ecology in Wulingyuan ecosystem The role of and the relationship between the two, for the protection of animals and Maintain ecological balance It has important scientific value.
rare Geological relic landscape
Sand grain in the Devonian strata on the echo wall of Wulingyuan and rock paintings near the leapfish pond Ripple mark It is a rare geological relic, not only to visit, but also to study the ancient environment and Sea-land transition Evidence of... Distribute in Tianzi Mountain Permian system stratigraphic Coral fossil It is shaped like a turtle back pattern, so it is called" Moire stone "Is a good material for sculpture of various handicrafts.
Colorful climate landscape
Wulingyuan Spring, summer, autumn, winter, Yin, sunny, early and late, the climate is myriad. Cloud is the most common meteorological wonder in Wulingyuan, there are five forms of cloud, cloud sea, cloud tao, cloud waterfall and cloud. After the rain, first hazy fog, and then into white clouds, dimly floating, the peaks in the boundless sea of clouds disappear and appear, such as Penglai Fairy Island Yuyu Qionglou, in the middle of it, ecstasy, sometimes the sea of clouds rose over the peak, and then with overwhelming potential, rolling straight down, into the cloud waterfall, spectacular.
Chengjiang animal group
locate Chengjiang River Five kilometers east of the county seat Maotianshan Mountain , this lithocoenosis Its discovery has caused a stir in the international scientific community, and has been hailed as "rare in the history of modern paleontology research in the world" and "one of the most amazing scientific discoveries in the 20th century", which is a national treasure, a precious wealth of Yunnan and even the whole country, and a revelation of the Cambrian period. Big Bang of life arcane A golden key . On January 14, 2011, the Chinese government submitted the application materials to UNESCO World Heritage, marking Chengjiang fossil land Officially became China 2012 World heritage site Declare the project. On July 1, 2012, in St. Petersburg, Russia The 36th session of the World Heritage Committee announced that the Chengjiang fossil Site in China was included in the" World Heritage List ".
"Paleontological Mecca" MAO Tianshan "one of the most amazing discoveries of the 20th century"
Hat Tianshan is in Chengjiang county Within the territory, Fuxian Lake The east coast of Fuxian Lake is about 5 kilometers away. In July 1984, archaeologists discovered a 530-million-year-old mountain in Mao-Tianshan, Chengjiang Animal fossil Group, a total of more than 200 species of early Cambrian period Rare animals and plants and ichnofossil 80% of them belong to new species, which is called "one of the most amazing discoveries of the 20th century", and is known as "paleontological holy land" in the international scientific community. Paleontological fossil Type specimen site "and" world-class fossil treasure house ". The unique scientific value of Chengjiang fossil land has been widely concerned and highly appraised by the academic circles at home and abroad. More than 20 years of research in the academic community has shown that the Chengjiang fossil land is the most concentrated, best preserved and richest species found on Earth so far. Cambrian explosion of life Examples are outstanding examples of Earth's evolutionary history. In 1992, it was included in the UNESCO Global List of Geological Sites. In 1997 the Yunnan Provincial government will Maotianshan Mountain And its surrounding 18 square kilometers as a nature reserve; In 2001, MAO Tianshan was approved as the first national geopark. In 2006, Chengjiang Fossil land protection was listed as the first batch National natural heritage Prepare the list. In 2009, it was listed as one of the 60 major scientific and technological achievements since the founding of New China. Today, there are many reports published at home and abroad Chengjiang fauna The number of academic papers reached more than 230, of which 15 were published in the world's top academic journals, "Science" and "Nature". if Application for world heritage listing Success will be filled Chinese fossils The blank of natural heritage creates a precedent for domestic paleontological sites, enriches the connotation of China as a world heritage country, and becomes a second entrepreneurship and boost for tourism in Yunnan Province Fuxian Lake - Nebula Lake The construction of a comprehensive pilot zone for ecological construction and tourism reform and development will create a beautiful business card for the world's top tourism brand. At the same time, through the brand effect, promote the organic combination of ecological cultural tourism and scientific research tourism, promote the upgrading of Yuxi tourism and cultural industry, and stimulate the new bright spot of economic growth.
"Cambrian Period" - a great mystery in paleontology and geology
Cambrian explosion of life Known as a major cold case in paleontology and geology, it has been puzzling the academic community of evolution since Darwin, and is still listed as one of the "top ten scientific problems" by the international academic community.
About 600 million years ago, the beginning of what is known in geology as the Cambrian period, mostly invertebrate Doors appear in a very short period of millions of years. This almost "simultaneous" and "sudden" appearance in the Cambrian strata of numerous species of invertebrate fossils (arthropods, mollusks, brachiopod and annelid However, the absence of animal fossils in older strata prior to the Cambrian for a long time is known to paleontologists as the "Cambrian explosion of life."

Experience and lesson

EDITOR
In China's more than 10 years of declaration work, there are a lot of experience and lessons, from the analysis of the declaration process, there are three main factors affecting the success or failure:
First, the unique value of these cultural and natural heritages. In general, these projects are reviewed several times during the application process, but sometimes some projects are unique in the country, but when compared to the world, they are dwarfed and thus lost. For example Huangguoshu Waterfall This is the case.
Secondly, the level of protection and management of the cultural and natural heritage. Some of the projects themselves are national protected units or National scenic spot Or national historical and cultural cities, people often think that the protection work has been impeccable, but in fact, it is still a long way from the requirements of World Heritage. This shows the backwardness of our ideas. Those cultural relics around the tall chimneys, dazzling aluminum alloy, dazzling Glass curtain wall , eye-catching cement poles and Spider web The power lines are at odds with the solemn atmosphere of the heritage project. The "urbanization", "commercialization" and "street" of scenic spots, the construction of shops and restaurants everywhere, and the backwardness of management work often cause some problems Cultural value Already enough projects with" World Heritage List "Just missed. Because according to the provisions of the Convention, the same project has only one opportunity to declare and cannot be reviewed, thus causing irreparable regret. To this end, the reporting units have taken the reporting process as an opportunity to improve the awareness of cultural relics protection, improve the protection and management of cultural relics, and seriously do a good job of "cosmetic" work. Some units said with emotion: "The declaration work boils down to one word, that is, 'demolition'." In strict accordance with the provisions of the Convention, they demolish man-made scenic spots around the project and illegal buildings that are not in harmony with the project, and improve environmental hygiene, even at all costs Directional blasting Clean up the "hard bones".
Third, the preparation for the declaration of these cultural and natural heritage. For example, some projects in the application of the cultural value of the project is not enough research, insufficient preparation, and therefore did not give satisfactory explanations and answers to the questions raised by the experts in the investigation. UNESCO experts also attach great importance to the participation of the masses in the declaration work, and sometimes ask the masses some questions during the inspection to understand the attitude of the masses towards the declaration work, so in the declaration work, the masses should be actively mobilized by various means to let them care about the declaration work.

The heat of applying for heritage status in China is heating up, which can improve the awareness of heritage protection of the whole people. Moreover, in the process of World Heritage application, the site of application will be constantly combed and improved, which is also a process of consciously accepting the norms and constraints of international rules. However, China's declaration work still lacks the overall planning of the country, and the problem of multiple responsible declarations is prominent. In the management of World heritage, there is a lack of special laws for the management of world heritage and a national unified management organization, driven by economic interests, the phenomenon of "heavy use, light protection" is not uncommon.
The ultimate goal of World Heritage work is not to register on the World Heritage List. The purpose of the World Heritage Convention is "to establish a permanent and effective system, based on modern scientific methods, for the common protection of cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value". Its fundamental purpose is to select the representative objects and carriers of information and beauty that have "outstanding universal value" in human history and natural environment to be included in the vision of common concern of all mankind, and "forever use for grandchildren", declaration is only the beginning of it. Therefore, the values stated at the time of declaration are never infringed, and the existing state of protection can only be further improved, not weakened, in accordance with internationally accepted norms. The practice at all times and at home and abroad shows that only by effectively protecting and preserving the true value of natural and cultural heritage can it be passed down from generation to generation and be utilized sustainably.
