What are the six major differences? 500000 online visits: Cultural Heritage Protection and Cultural Relics Protection. Shan Jixiang's Voice in Shanghai | Protection | Cultural Heritage

Nowadays, tens of thousands of Chinese and foreign visitors come to the Palace Museum every day to experience the world's largest and most complete ancient palace architectural complex. "Through years of continuous efforts to improve the environment, repair cultural relics and historical sites, protect cultural relics and collections, open up more areas, from less than 50% to 80% in the past, and make more ancient buildings open to the public as exhibition halls and new cultural content."

Shan Jixiang, president of the Chinese Society of Cultural Heritage, director of the Academic Committee of the Palace Museum, former director of the National Cutural Heritage Administration, and former president of the Palace Museum, said in Shanghai. Recently, as the Honorary Dean of the School of Cultural Heritage and Information Management at Shanghai University, he was invited to give a lecture on how to tell Chinese stories well and spread excellent traditional Chinese culture.

From the Liangzhu Site and the Shuomen Ancient Port in Wenzhou, to the Zoumalou and Yuanmingyuan Ancient Lotus Seeds in Changsha, Shan Jixiang visited various places and measured the scale of cultural heritage with his footsteps. Within the framework of UNESCO's World Cultural and Natural Heritage, China initially only had six World Heritage sites. For example, the Great Wall, which was first built about 2000 years ago and became a common world heritage site for mankind, is no longer protected in traditional sections and points. Instead, it spans 15 provinces and cities today and "packages" the Great Wall as a whole, restoring its integrity and authenticity. How can Chinese cultural heritage be shared with the world? China's path to applying for cultural heritage is not smooth, such as the application work for the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal.

In fact, Shan Jixiang submitted a proposal 20 years ago in 2003 regarding the importance of cultural relics protection in the South to North Water Diversion Project. He stated that the Grand Canal includes natural landscapes, rich historical landscapes, architectural landscapes, engineering landscapes, transportation landscapes along the canal, as well as village and town landscapes, block landscapes, garden landscapes, religious landscapes, commercial landscapes, residential landscapes, folk landscapes, living landscapes, production landscapes, artistic landscapes, and a variety of urban landscapes along the canal. The application for World Heritage has promoted the understanding of cultural heritage, and it is intuitive to feel that people have consciously "shifted from cultural relic protection to cultural heritage protection today."

So, is there a difference between cultural heritage protection and cultural relic protection? Shan Jixiang explained the profound connotation of cultural heritage protection to teachers and students from six aspects. Firstly, in the past, cultural relic protection only protected material elements, but now it is necessary to protect the intangible elements of cultural heritage; Secondly, in addition to protecting static objects such as ancient sites, tombs, and grotto temples, we also need to protect dynamic objects such as people living in ancient villages, ethnic villages, and water towns in Jiangnan, as well as traditional dwellings, industrial heritage, and time-honored brands; Thirdly, not only focus on ancient historical relics, but also pay attention to the protection of heritage from modern times to the contemporary 20th to 21st century; Fourthly, it not only focuses on the protection of heritage triggered by individual buildings, ancient architectural complexes, historical blocks, and historical cities, but also pays attention to the linear cultural heritage protection derived from historical and cultural routes such as population migration, cultural exchange, and commodity trade corridors; Fifthly, we should not only focus on the protection of historical commemorative buildings such as palaces and temples, but also pay attention to the protection of heritage such as local architecture and traditional residences that support people's daily lives and embody their nostalgia; Sixth, not only focus on protecting material elements, but also pay attention to intangible cultural heritage that is inseparable and mutually exclusive with material elements.

Promote cultural prosperity and build a strong cultural country. The reporter of Jiefang Daily Shangguan News learned that not long ago, Shanghai University was awarded the "Archaeological Excavation Qualification of the People's Republic of China" by the National Cutural Heritage Administration, and the "Key Laboratory of the Ministry of Education for the Protection of Silicate Cultural Relics" was successfully approved to establish a new project. The ancient cultural relics and information resources management discipline of Shanghai University further formed its characteristics and advantages in multiple research fields, and continued to expand its popularity and influence. Accompanied by Vice Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai University, Duan Yong, and others, Shan Jixiang visited the Shanghai University Rong Family Donation Qipao Exhibition, Beilin Foundation Donation Rare Wildlife Specimen Museum, Jinghai Unmanned Boat Underwater Archaeology Exhibition Hall, and other venues. Previously, he also discussed with Party Secretary Cheng Danhong and others to cultivate outstanding innovative talents in cultural resource management who can both study humanities and sciences, integrate ancient and modern.
