Special commentator/Ding Tie

Prosperous China, why China? As the ancients said, "Those who have a distant source have a long history, and those who have a deep root have lush branches." Chinese civilization has a long and extensive history, which is a unique spiritual symbol of the Chinese nation, the foundation of contemporary Chinese culture, the spiritual bond that sustains Chinese people around the world, and a treasure trove of Chinese cultural innovation. In the continuous inheritance of cultural heritage, Chinese people understand the profound cultural heritage and strengthen the roots of cultural confidence.

The splendid cultural and natural treasures of the stars are engraved in the clouds of history, witnessing the splendid present under the inheritance of the times, and nurturing a beautiful future through the passage of time. Cultural relics and heritage carry the genes and bloodline of the Chinese nation, and are non renewable and irreplaceable resources of excellent Chinese civilization. Through these treasures, understanding China through its long-standing historical continuity is essential for understanding ancient and modern China, and ultimately for understanding future China. To protect, inherit, and make good use of Chinese cultural heritage, inject strong Chinese strength into the continuation of human civilization and sustainable development of the world, and more importantly, tell the Chinese story of cultural heritage protection, so that cultural relics and heritage can shine with new brilliance in the new era.

Cultural heritage carries national cultural genes and reflects the spiritual characteristics of the nation. In 2002, the Chinese Civilization Exploration Project was launched. After more than 20 years of work, we have empirically demonstrated over 5000 years of Chinese civilization, revealed the rich connotations of Chinese civilization, demonstrated the origin and development of Chinese civilization, proposed new plans to judge the signs of entering a civilized society, and made important contributions to exploring the origins of civilizations around the world. At the same time, China has established a national provincial-level list of cultural relics protection units, with a total of 56 world heritage sites. Since the 14th Five Year Plan, more than 1500 national key cultural relics protection units have been organized and implemented. 62000 precious cultural relics and unearthed cultural relics in the collection, such as Confucian archives and Warring States Chu slips, have been restored, and the long-term mechanism for cultural relics protection has been further improved. Protecting historical and cultural heritage helps to enhance cultural identity and enhance cultural confidence. Inheriting the splendid civilization of China should become a consensus among the whole people.

This requires various regions to carry out activities based on actual conditions, leading the public to touch history and enhance confidence. During this year's Cultural and Natural Heritage Day, Nanjing showcased the achievements of Ming Xiaoling cultural relics protection, Wuxi National Archaeological Site Park Cultural and Art Week, Taizhou Jiangyan "Tianmu Tan Tao", and Zhenjiang appointed "Youth Cultural Relics Protection Officer"... People learned and loved through participation, and the idea of cultural relics protection has been ignited. How to ignite from a spark to a prairie fire? Only through innovative expression can we tell the Chinese story of cultural heritage protection well.

Protecting inheritance and integrating into modern life, showcasing contemporary values, can stimulate cultural empathy. In recent years, with the help of digital technology and "Internet plus", some historical and cultural heritages have shown new brilliance of the times. It is essential to encourage more and more people, especially young people, to participate in the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, and to innovate and express Chinese stories that promote the integration of Chinese culture into daily life and enter the mind and heart. The bilingual micro documentary "Intangible Cultural Heritage with Newcomers" launched by Litchi News has emerged in response to the times, telling the story of passing down the torch and showing off a strong trend of pursuing the footsteps of a thousand years of cultural heritage. From Kunqu opera to Manas in Xinjiang, from Nantong blue printed fabric to handmade porcelain in Jingdezhen, from Jiangsu to the whole country and to the world, the new generation of inheritors of intangible cultural heritage born in the 1980s and 1990s have created a "New Youth Atlas of Intangible Cultural Heritage". The reading and playback volume has exceeded 1.8 billion, and the overseas coverage has exceeded 20 million. Moving forward, the story of cultural heritage protection in China will never be finished.

"Every civilization continues the spiritual bloodline of a country and nation, which requires not only passing on the torch and generations of protection, but also keeping up with the times and daring to innovate. On the basis of conducting sufficient research on the history of civilization, telling the wonderful" stories "of civilization history, inheriting the spiritual" bloodline "of civilization history, and making the answer" why China is so prosperous "shine in the hearts and souls of Chinese people, keeping up with the pace of the times, and always presenting a thriving scene of life and fire for Chinese historical and cultural heritage.".
