Abstract

Anyang City is a prefecture-level city under the jurisdiction of Henan Province. It is located in the northernmost part of Henan Province. It is one of my country’s eight ancient capitals and a national historical and cultural city. The current Anyang Old City retains the ancient northern plain architecture and residential groups based on the architectural styles of Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the modern economic construction today, the urban style in the old city of Anyang is dilapidated, the old city functions are chaotic, the living environment of residents is low, and the old city features and the space are in urgent need of transformation. This article starts with combing the status quo of the ancient city of Anyang, analyzes the existing problems of the protection of the ancient city of Anyang, and explores the path of combining the traditional architectural features of the old city with the new architectural features, highlighting the characteristics of the ancient city, and creating an urban business card belonging to Anyang.
