How to better realize the systematic protection, scientific research, legal management and rational utilization of cultural relics resources? How to speed up the transformation of our city from a big city of cultural relics resources to a strong city of cultural relics protection and utilization? This is a topic that the tomb of “a generation of famous scenes” encounters with danger, and it is also a question of the times that we must answer well.
At the beginning of March this year, Xiaoshan netizen “Friends of the Famous Curtain” reported to Shaoxing Cultural Relics Bureau and Zhejiang Cultural Relics Bureau successively that the tomb of Wang Huizu, a famous curtain in the Qing Dynasty, and the tomb of Wang Zuo, the champion of the Southern Song Dynasty, located in Yangxunqiao Street, Keqiao District, were both within the red line of the construction of the Hangjinqu-Hangshaotai Expressway, facing the risk of destruction. I hope the cultural relics department can protect them. On March 16th, Keqiao District Culture, Radio, Film and Television Tourism Bureau (Cultural Relics Bureau) said after organizing a series of effective work in the early stage that “the construction unit has been asked to communicate and negotiate with the road design unit, and the construction scheme should be appropriately adjusted to realize the original site protection.”
Wang Huizu, a famous figure in the Qing Dynasty and a native of Xiaoshan County, Shaoxing Prefecture (now Xiaoshan, Hangzhou), is a famous figure in the legal history of China, and is called “a famous figure of one generation”. It would be a pity if its tomb were destroyed, and it would be a great loss in the field of cultural relics in our city. Fortunately, thanks to the in-depth understanding of the cemetery by the “criminal screen friend” and his enthusiastic call, the emergency action and emergency protection of the relevant departments were obtained. The demonstration of the tomb’s value and owner’s identity, and the verification and collection of Wang Huizu’s relevant historical materials have also been put on the agenda.
Shaoxing, known as the “state of cultural relics”, is widely distributed with a large number of cultural relics with rich types. Relevant information shows that there are currently 428 cultural relics protection units at all levels in the city, including 32 national key cultural relics protection units, 73 provincial cultural relics protection units and 323 county-level cultural relics protection units. At the same time, there are a large number of ancestral homes, ancient buildings, ancient tombs, etc. that are not included in the protection list, which are out of the sight of cultural relics protection and are ignored or even ignored. The fact that these cultural relics are “classless” does not mean that their cultural relics are of low value, just because our cultural relics are so rich that we can only “condescend”. The tomb of “a generation of famous scenes” should belong to this type.
Cultural relics carry civilization and inherit culture, which is a precious non-renewable heritage. Even if the family is thick, we should avoid causing “the hatred of the pearl.” In this sense, our cultural relics protection work should have a broader vision. The Notice on Strengthening the Protection of Immovable Cultural Relics that have not been approved and announced as cultural relics protection units issued by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage makes it clear that the newly discovered immovable cultural relics after the third national cultural relics survey should be registered and announced at the county level in time. It is necessary for cultural relics protection departments in all parts of our city to establish a sense of “race against time”. At the same time, cultural relics protection units at all levels are inspected, maintained by special personnel, guaranteed by funds, and have repair plans. According to the numerous celebrities and historical sites in our city,.Many cultural relics resources are still unknown, so we should organize forces to speed up the general survey, excavation and sorting out of related sites and remains. Strive to accurately record and master the state of cultural relics in a short period of time, and formulate cost-controllable, timely and effective protection plans according to their priorities, so as to give priority to prevention, grasp early and small, and treat them in time, so that a large number of unregistered cultural relics can continuously improve their living conditions.
People are the most critical factor in the protection of cultural relics. Last year, various districts and counties (cities) successively set up cultural relics bureaus. Next, it is necessary to really enrich and sink personnel to the front line of cultural relics protection to ensure substantial strength enhancement and work advancement. At the same time, we should also give full play to the role of social organizations such as the Vietnam Cultural Research Association and related enthusiasts, including enthusiastic netizens, and encourage them to actively express their insights for strengthening the protection of cultural relics in our city, including providing relevant information on the research and tracking of cultural relics resources and reporting violations of the law on the protection of cultural relics, so as to form a good situation in which government departments resonate with academic organizations and the public at the same frequency.
