Then, why was the rumbling of copying an ancient city so widely concerned that it led to the fermentation of public opinion? What kind of state of mind of the people's retro mood is reflected in the public opinion that the opposition voice is almost one-sided?

Net Pass Phoenix "Copy Ancient City"

"Phoenix plans to invest 5.5 billion in copying an ancient city to solve the problem of too many tourists."

On August 31st, news reports under this title began to spread rapidly on the Internet after being published by an online media.

According to the report, in the 1980s, the ancient city of Phoenix became one of China’s early attractions for foreign tourists. Since then, Phoenix has successfully promoted China's 4A-level tourist attractions by vigorously implementing the brand upgrade strategy and the expansion and improvement of scenic spots. The domestic source market has radiated more than 30 provinces and cities such as Zhejiang, Sichuan and Beijing. The overseas market has expanded to more than 20 countries and regions such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan and Germany.

In the first half of this year, the ancient city of Phoenix received a total of 3.1058 million tourists and realized tourism revenue of RMB 2.362 billion. Since August, the average daily tourist volume in the ancient city of Phoenix has exceeded 5,000.

According to statistics, in the ten years since the Phoenix Tourism Development, the number of visitors received has increased from 570,000 in 2000 to 6.5 million last year, and total tourism revenue has increased from less than one million yuan to 4.431 billion yuan. In the tourist season, a hotel in the local area has a low room rate of 280 yuan a day. When there is a passenger pressure, the hotel owner rarely “compromises” because at this time Phoenix’s hotel “does not have to worry about staying unattended”.

However, when the quiet and peaceful ancient city of Fenghuang was stirred up by tourists, the problems such as inadequate infrastructure and decreased tourist satisfaction began to appear one after another.

The article revealed that in order to resolve the conflict between the growing number of tourists and the lack of reception capacity in the ancient city of Phoenix, a new town, “Smoke Rain Phoenix”, which is planned to invest RMB 5.5 billion to completely imitate the ancient city of Fenghuang, will start construction during the year.

The article also quoted Ye Wenzhi, Chairman of Hunan Fenghuang Ancient City Tourism Co., Ltd., introducing the project. "Yanyu Phoenix" is one of the key construction projects of Hunan's cultural industry. It will build a new town 6 kilometers away from the ancient city of Fenghuang. New tourist service area to release the reception capacity of the ancient city. He said: “This is not a simple supporting infrastructure and reception facility. We hope to continue the history of Phoenix and achieve new classics while inheriting and carrying forward the culture of Phoenix.”

The rumor fermentation attracts public opinion concerns

According to an interview with the "Legal Daily" reporter, in the southwest of Fenghuang County, there is a mountain that resembles wings and flies, and the ancient city is named after it. The ancient city of Fenghuang was founded in Qing Dynasty in Kangxi in 1989 (1704). After 300 years of vicissitudes, the ancient appearance remains. The Old Gate of the East Gate and the North Gate are still in existence.

According to statistics, the ancient city of Fenghuang is divided into two old and new urban areas. The old city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the shallow river runs through the city and the red sandstone wall stands on the shore, Nanhua Mountain is lined with ancient towers, and the tower or the Qing Dynasty. During the years, rusty iron gates, but also see the mighty appearance. Under the wide gate of the north gate, a narrow wooden bridge is strung across the river. Stone is the pier. Both sides must face sideways. This was the only passage out of the city that year.

When the news about "Phoenix copied the ancient city" came out, it immediately spread the fermentation on the Internet and sparked public opinion.

“The political impulse is the devil of the devil.” “The ancient city of Phoenix also opened a chain store?” ... In the current atmosphere of prevailing winds in certain places, this news is like detonating a heavy “bomb” on the Internet.

"After spending a lot of money, imitating it again, it can only be a fake product 'ancient city'." Some netizens said that Shen Congwen's former residence contains bricks, tiles, stones, and wood that contain enough historical and cultural codes. Waiting for the interpretation of tourists. Although only a distance of 6 kilometers, the re-created former residence as a part of the new town, even if it is exactly the same, it is difficult for tourists to enter the show.

The netizen believes that in the current tourism industry in China, there is no shortage of new and reconstructed “false antiques”.

“An important reason why the ancient city of Phoenix can attract tourists is because of its historical vicissitudes. We have no doubt that the local area can afford to build a new city that looks exactly like the ancient city of Phoenix. But the problem is that history is not real money. Can you buy.” Some netizens are deeply worried about the prospects of the ancient city after the copy: lack of historical heritage, do visitors so with the coordination, the old money spent running to you to see a building of antique buildings? Isn't this self-destructive signboard?

Since Fenghuang County official has not officially responded to this rumor, some netizens have even suspected that this news incident may be a local “blind measure” for the “self-promotion” of the Rainy Rain Phoenix project.

The reporter noted that over the past week, this rumor spread on the Internet and caused widespread concern among Internet users. According to China Net Tourism China Public Opinion monitoring data, as of September 3, 2012 at 10:00, related news was published and reprinted 340 times, mainstream microblog commented and forwarded more than 10,000 times. There are clear signs that in the past few days, the hot debate on the "New Phoenix Ancient City" continues. The average number of comments per minute is as high as 5, and one person participates in the discussion within 12 seconds. The results of public opinion on the Internet show that the voices opposed to the copying of the ancient city have almost turned aside.

People worried about "culture is old"

So, why did Phoenix County replicate an ancient city of Phoenix? Where does the required $5.5 billion come from? Since Phoenix County officials have not publicly responded so far, the truth is confusing.

In order to find out the truth, on September 5, a reporter from Legal Daily reported a telephone interview with relevant departments of Fenghuang County.

“The “City of Ancient City Replica” project on the Internet actually refers to the “Smoke Rain Phoenix” project. This may be a marketing tool for the development company, not to recreate an ancient city.” After listening to the reporter’s intentions, A staff member of Phoenix County Tourism Bureau spoke about his own opinions.

The staff member also suggested that the reporter find Phoenix City Cultural Tourism Investment Co., Ltd., a developer of this project, to learn more. After some contacts, the "Legal Daily" reporter found Peng Yaogen, general manager of Fenghuang Ancient City Cultural Tourism Investment Co., Ltd.

“We are not trying to imitate an ancient city, but to improve the facilities of the ancient city of Phoenix in order to improve the reception level and improve the reception environment.” Peng Yaogen said that the network rumor copied the ancient city is a misrepresentation.

Peng Yaogen told reporters that last year the number of people received per square kilometer in the ancient city of Phoenix reached 5.8 million, far exceeding the expected number. Some hotel, shopping and other supporting facilities and the development of the tourism industry also does not seem to match. The purpose of building the “Smoke Rain Phoenix” is to make good use of the supporting facilities in the ancient city. Such as the construction of some good hotels, and do a good job of environmental management of the Lijiang River.

“Phoenix plans to enter China to apply for the preparation of a list of world cultural heritage. In order to ensure the sustainable use of resources and reduce the burden on the core protected areas, we have proposed the idea of ​​'building a new town in Baoding City.'” August 31, the ancient city of Phoenix. Cultural Tourism Investment Co., Ltd. also issued an article on corporate microblogs that the ancient city of Phoenix cannot be copied in both physical and cultural sense.

Where is the 5.5 billion funding coming from? Is it a corporate fund or a financial appropriation? Peng Yaogen revealed to reporters that 5.5 billion of the funds for creating “Smoke Rain Phoenix” were all raised by private development companies.

Then, for this misinformed news, why did the relevant departments not formally respond?

"We don't want to stray into the circle!" Peng Yaogen explained that there is no need to mess with these rumors before things are done.

"The rumors are not real and worrying is justified." Changsha lawyer Zeng Zhi believes that under the background of the revival of retro style, Liang Zhu's hometown and Sun Dasheng's hometown in the country, Hunan invested 5.5 billion yuan to copy the ancient city of Fenghuang, attracting many Internet users. Criticism is a normal phenomenon.

“Retrospection of the scenic area has been repeatedly questioned. What stands behind it is the public’s concern about the enthusiasm of certain regions for the “culture and old” practice.” Zeng Zhizhi told the “Legal Daily” reporter.

Some people in the legal profession also pointed out that if you look at the protection of the ancient city, building a new city outside of the old city in order to evacuate the pressure on the old city is reasonable. However, the question is: Is the "Fengyu Phoenix" protected by the ancient city of Fenghuang? This is really suspicious. To put it bluntly, it is simply the practice of "economic growth" in the name of "cultural protection." In other words, the copy of the RMB 5.5 billion mountain version of the ancient city of Phoenix is ​​just a stepping stone for the parties concerned to obtain economic benefits. In this game of profit-seeking capital, the so-called cultural protection may only occupy a very minor proportion.
