History,Culture,and Nature:A Comparative Study of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park and National Parks along the Mississippi River
National cultural park is a unique type of national park created in China.It aims to create a number of important symbols of Chinese culture with outstanding significance and important influence through the park development and operation of cultural relics and cultural resources on major themes.The Chinese nature of China's national cultural park determines that its development concept,operation mode and protection strategy are significantly different from those from western countries.Since there have already been some models of national parks in world history,we need to systematically sort out the developmental experiences of foreign countries and carry out localization innovation according to the comprehensive national conditions with Chinese characteristics.As far as Yangtze River National Cultural Park is concerned,although some preliminary regional achievements have been made in the development of the park,it still faces a series of practical challenges,such as weak inter-regional correlation,uneven development between urban and rural areas,unclear subjects of implementation,the imperfection of sustainable operation mechanism,and the limited developing time.This paper attempts to provide some international reference for the development of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park by analyzing the historical experience and lessons regarding the national parks along the Mississippi River in the United States from three aspects,including national will,history and culture,and ecological environment.
