Abstract

In 2002, through his investigation and study of Nantong, Wu Liangyong put forward the proposition of "the first city of modern China" in Nantong. This has given the society a new understanding of the cause of building the city in Nantong in the modern times led by Zhang Jian. After a brilliant development from the founding of the Dasheng Cotton Mill in 1895 to the death of Zhang Jian in 1926, Nantong was creatively managed by Zhang Jian. Nantong has also changed from a feudal traditional city to a modern one, creating countless first ones. With the great development of national capital, the modern Nantong city building movement has sprung up a large number of new buildings. This paper takes the achievements of modern Nantong City as an example and tries to discuss the development and evolution of modern Nantong architecture. Furthermore, it summarizes and refines the characteristics of architecture in this period, especially puts forward feasible protection strategies for the present existing architectural heritage and finds out the contents that can be used for reference to our urban construction and architectural design today.
