Shandong Cultural Relics Work Conference was held in Jinan on the 13th, which systematically summarized the protection and utilization of cultural relics in Shandong Province in recent years, arranged and deployed key tasks such as deepening the reform of cultural relics protection and utilization and continuously polishing the brand of “Haidai Archaeology”.
“Cultural relics are the spiritual and cultural symbols of Chinese civilization and China revolution, and are the emotional support and material carrier of national symbol and national memory.” Bai Yugang, member of the Standing Committee of Shandong Provincial Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department, said that Shandong is a big cultural province and occupies an important position in the national cultural relics work map, so it is of special and important significance to do a good job in cultural relics protection. In order to realize the transformation from a big cultural province to a strong cultural province, the effective utilization of cultural relics is very important. We should persist in innovation, actively explore new ways to activate and utilize cultural relics, promote the integration of cultural relics protection and utilization into economic and social development, develop in protection, protect in development, and strive to revitalize cultural relics and create value.
Sun Jiye, deputy governor of Shandong Provincial People’s Government, said that all units at all levels in Shandong Province should follow the principle of “protection first, strengthening management, tapping value, making effective use of cultural relics”, profoundly grasp the important tasks of cultural relics work in the new era, strengthen the awe of historical and revolutionary cultural relics, and put the scientific concept of cultural relics protection into the whole field and process of cultural relics work, further implement the “skynet project for Cultural Relics Safety” and enhance civil air defense, physical defense and technical defense.
“Shandong will continue to polish the brand of’ Haidai Archaeology’ and provide strong support for the demonstration of Chinese civilization.” Chloe Wang, Party Secretary and Director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, said that Shandong has carried out in-depth research on the Chinese civilization tracing project and the “Archaeological China” in Shandong, actively promoted archaeological projects in key areas such as the origin of human beings, the origin of civilization and the formation and development of Chinese civilization, and formed a number of research results. Important archaeological discoveries have been made in Gangshang site, Ximengzhuang site, Bashan site, Jixia Xuegong site and Langyatai site, which have played an important role in demonstrating the origin of ancient civilization in China and constructing ancient history in Shandong. Archaeology of wading cultural relics, such as the sinking of a ship in Dingyuan, Shandong coast and Weihai Bay, has provided brand-new information for the application of the “Maritime Silk Road” and the study of the Sino-Japanese War.
According to Chloe Wang, in order to ensure the safety of cultural relics, Shandong Province has successively organized and carried out a major investigation on the safety status of cultural relics, a three-year special rectification campaign for illegal cases of cultural relics as legal persons, and a centralized campaign to tackle key problems in cultural relics safety for 100 days. It adheres to the principle of “checking clues and investigating cases” and strictly supervises all kinds of illegal cases of cultural relics according to law. The main responsibility of cultural relics safety of Shandong governments at all levels has been gradually compacted, and many departments have made concerted efforts to crack down on cultural relics crimes, rectify the cultural relics circulation market, investigate and rectify fire hazards, and rectify illegal cases of cultural relics as legal persons. The “Cultural Relics Safety skynet project” has been fully implemented.
Li Yuxiang, secretary of Weifang Changyi Municipal Party Committee, said at the scene that Changyi City introduced the protection and utilization of revolutionary cultural relics..Policy documents such as implementation plan, opinions on speeding up the construction of a famous red cultural city, the establishment of cultural relics protection committees, the establishment of joint meetings, and the contact of cultural experts with towns and blocks have formed a working situation of joint participation and joint management.
