Features: For great cities, it may not be a political center, not an economic center, but it must be a cultural center. A city without humanistic culture and a unique urban spirit cannot truly deserve the word "great." The humanistic characteristics of a great city are gradually formed on the basis of long-term historical and cultural accumulation and the cultivation of urban humanistic spirit. Emerging cities can skip economic growth stages, but they can never bypass the nurturing and shaping of humanistic spirit. The symbol of a city is precisely the concentrated embodiment of its culture and essence. Most world-renowned cities have a symbol that makes them famous, which we call the city's symbol. Although every city has its historical and geographical limitations, the pursuit of shaping the cultural spirit of the city is limitless. A city's symbol can be a landmark building, a sculpture, a church, or a temple. They often share a common characteristic: while their creation and placement may be constrained by specific times, places, or events, they ultimately transcend these constraints through their humanistic value connotations, possessing universal significance in human civilization.
