The concept of the park has played a demonstrative role.
"Because the above-mentioned four have basically possessed the functions and forms, construction level, and opening capacity that the national archaeological site park should have, the country is determined to do a good job in the promotion of archaeological site parks. At that time, Jinsha sites were one of the few in the country. An institution integrating archaeology, museums, and park management. It can be said that Jinsha Site is one of the pioneers of the National Archaeological Site Park."
