On the morning of September 26th, the special exhibition of “Mountain Culture” and the series of activities of “Let Cultural Relics Walk into People’s Life” in 2022 opened in Jinhua Museum. The event was hosted by Zhejiang Cultural Relics Bureau, Propaganda Department of Jinhua Municipal Committee, Zhejiang Institute of Archaeology and Jinhua Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism.
Carrying the splendid civilization of cultural relics, inheriting history and culture, and maintaining the national spirit are precious spiritual heritages and profound nourishment for strengthening the construction of socialist spiritual civilization. “Shangshan Culture”, dating back about 11,000 to 8,500 years, is the earliest Neolithic culture in Zhejiang and even the whole southeast of China. Up to now, 21 sites of “Mountain Culture” have been excavated in Zhejiang, and 15 sites in Jinhua, the largest in the province.
Ye Shunqing, director of Jinhua Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism, said in his speech that in recent years, Jinhua has worked out and implemented the master plan of Shangshan Archaeological Site Park, set up an archaeological base in central Zhejiang, organized a documentary film of “Ten Thousand Years of Shangshan Site” and successfully held an academic seminar on the 20th anniversary of the discovery of Shangshan Site, etc., which has made the “Shangshan Culture” as the source of rice cultivation in the world widely recognized by domestic and foreign academic circles, and pushed the “Shangshan Culture” to a new level of applying for World Heritage.

Zheng Jianhua, deputy director of Zhejiang Cultural Relics Bureau, said that “Mountain Culture” is the origin of rice farming in the world, the source of farming village culture in China and the “rising star” of Chinese civilization. We should take the promotion of “mountain culture” as the general goal, adhere to the concept of “going up the mountain”, continuously and deeply promote the research, protection and publicity of “mountain culture”, and effectively push forward the mountain culture to take solid steps. He also called on the whole society to pay attention to supporting the protection and application of the “Mountain Culture” site, “Mountain for ten thousand years, the world’s rice source”, and polishing another “golden business card” of Zhejiang culture.
At the opening ceremony, the digital map of the “Mountain Culture” site was launched, and the certificate of the first Top Ten Excellent Project of Public Cultural Services of Jinhua City Museum was awarded. After the ceremony, the leading guests entered the temporary exhibition hall on the first floor to visit the “Mountain Culture and Archaeology Special Exhibition”.
It is reported that the special exhibition of “Mountain Culture” and the series of activities of “Let Cultural Relics Walk into People’s Life” in 2022 will last for three months. The special exhibition of archaeology will be held around the theme of “Mountain Culture”, and the interactive live broadcast of media and a series of short videos will be launched. Digital tourism products and cultural and creative products will also be used to make “Mountain Culture” enter people’s life scenes and integrate into people’s lives, and promote the public’s awareness of “Mountain Culture”
It is understood that in May this year, the site protection and heritage application meeting of Zhejiang’s “Shangshan Culture” site was held in Pujiang, which is of great significance. It will witness the “origin of rice cultivation” in the “origin of agriculture”, which is a major contribution of China to human civilization, and it is another major cultural heritage that can directly enhance the cultural confidence of the Chinese nation after Liangzhu Culture. This activity aims at inheriting the historical and cultural heritage, making the ancient cultural relics rejuvenate, integrating them into life, returning to society and serving the people.
