The city wall, as a historical relic, has completed its historical mission with the development of history. During the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, the Great Wall has been regarded as a historical relic that "although the old relics are preserved by the Xiongguan pass, the shape is better than the Zhuang River and mountain". Zhengding ancient city wall, which was once called "Sanxiong town in the north" together with Baoding and Beijing in the history of Shijiazhuang Zhengding County, is one of the few existing relics of Ming Dynasty city wall in China. It was approved as a national key cultural relic protection unit in May 2013. Since then, the protection and repair of Zhengding ancient city wall has been approved by the State Administration of cultural relics. On October 1, 2014, the first phase of Zhengding city wall repair project and the protection and repair of south gate system was officially completed Start.

World Cultural Heritage

Following the successful application of China's Grand Canal for world cultural heritage, China's Ming and Qing city walls also took the first step on the road of applying for world cultural heritage. In addition to eight cities such as Nanjing, Xi'an and Jingzhou, Xuanhua, Zhengding, Kaifeng, Changting and Zhaoqing will also join in the list of "China's Ming and Qing City Wall's application for World Heritage", forming an "8 + 5" binding mode for China's Ming and Qing City Wall's application for world heritage. Nanjing, with the highest historical value of the ancient city wall, was elected as the "leading" city. Although the joint application of Ming and Qing city walls for the world heritage has taken the first step, the road to apply for the world heritage is still very long, and it will take at least five years to prepare. According to the plan, we will complete the preparation work before the end of 2015, formally submit the application materials to the State Administration of cultural relics by the end of March 2016, formally report to the World Heritage Center for review by January 10, 2017, welcome the final investigation of domestic and foreign authoritative experts by the end of August 2017, and receive the final investigation and World Heritage Review by the end of June 2018 to welcome the world heritage conference.
