Site archaeological research, cultural relic protection, display and utilization, cultural inheritance, etc., have initially formed a large-scale site protection pattern with "six areas, four lines, and one circle" as the core and supported by 150 large sites. 36 sites have been assessed and announced. National Archaeological Site Park, the Grand Canal, Silk Road, Liangzhu, Yinxu, Laosi City, Yuanshangdu and other 7 major sites are included in the World Heritage List.

Keywords three compact foundation work

  On the basis of fully sorting out and summarizing the achievements of the protection of large sites in the past, the "Planning" will continue to strengthen basic work in response to new situations and new requirements, including large site archaeology, space use control, theoretical system research and technological application, and the rescue and protection of cultural relics. Wait.

  The reporter saw that the "Plan" puts forward the basic principles of "adhering to archaeological support and insisting on protection first", and detailed the tasks during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, formulating 8 main tasks and 14 key tasks. For example, the "Archaeological China" major project, the construction of archaeological specimen warehouses in key national regions, the implementation of the "archaeology first, then transfer" policy, the construction of cultural and technological innovation bases, and the rescue and protection projects of major cultural relics in border areas are all for further consolidation. The foundation for the protection and utilization of large sites.

Keyword four, improve the level of utilization

  High-level display and utilization is the main way to protect the results and benefit the people.

Provide the people with more open, shared, and profound public spaces.

It is also necessary to focus on the implementation of large site exhibition and utilization projects such as the Shimao site and Taosi site, and realize the opening of 60 to 70 large sites to the outside world.

  The "Planning" also requires the development of a batch of research and practical activity courses centering on the archaeology and value connotation of large sites, combining the popularization of archaeology and cultural relics protection knowledge, strengthening Chinese history and Chinese cultural education, and being knowledgeable, interesting, and ideological. 10-15 influential research and practice high-quality routes.

In addition, relying on the large ruins, 5-10 research and practice bases with good demonstration and driving functions will be built, equipped with special facilities and research and exchange places with the function of entertaining and entertaining, and provide excellent learning, practice, living and other conditions and safety guarantees.

National Archaeological Site Park, etc.
