This year is the fifth year that Su Bomin, the deputy to the National People's Congress and the director of the Dunhuang Research Institute, has served as the deputy to the 13th National People's Congress, and it is also the 30th year that he has taken root in the Mogao Grottoes.
As a "cultural heritage doctor", based on the appeal of the training and professional setting of "cultural preservation professionals" in the past five years, he continued to run and shout in the "old-fashioned talk".
This year, he suggested "support the Dunhuang Research Institute to establish the State Key Laboratory of Cultural Heritage Protection of the Silk Road" and "recognize the science of cultural relics and protection technology as independent disciplines".
After experiencing the accumulation of experience in "turning the crisis into safety" at the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, a world cultural heritage, Su Bomin hopes to expand the valuable protection technology and experience developed over decades to the protection of cultural relics along the Silk Road.
The Dunhuang Research Institute is a research-oriented institution responsible for the protection and management of 6 grottoes, including the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Tianshui Maiji Mountain, and Yongjing Bingling Temple. It is the largest research entity of Dunhuang Studies at home and abroad.
After decades and generations of efforts, the innovative team of ancient murals and earthen sites of Dunhuang Academy has solved a series of key scientific problems in the protection of ancient murals and earthen sites through multidisciplinary integration, not only solving many Chinese cultural heritages It is a major engineering problem in the field, and it also extends to countries along the “Belt and Road”.
"It is suggested that the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, relying on Dunhuang Research Institute, Lanzhou University and other cultural institutions and universities, establish a State Key Laboratory of Cultural Heritage Protection of the Silk Road." Su Bomin said in an exclusive interview with a reporter from China News Agency, hoping that this laboratory will be based in Northwest China, Facing the whole country and radiating the Silk Road, it gathers and absorbs top talents in the field of cultural heritage, and takes immovable cultural relics such as grotto temples, murals and earthen sites along the Silk Road as the main research objects.
Su Bomin said that he hoped that the State Key Laboratory of Cultural Heritage Protection of the Silk Road could promote cooperation and exchanges in the protection of cultural heritage among countries along the Silk Road, display the essence of the cultural heritage of the Silk Road in an all-round way, and finally build the most influential "Belt and Road". The National Science and Technology Platform for Cultural Heritage Basic Research and Technology R&D.
He said that at the end of last year, the General Office of the State Council of China issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for Cultural Relics Protection and Scientific and Technological Innovation", which stated that "the direction of scientific and technological archaeology and protection should be laid out in the national key laboratory system", indicating that the national science and technology department has already The establishment of a state key laboratory in the field of cultural relics protection will be put on the agenda.
"Recognizing cultural relics science and conservation technology as independent disciplines" is a "big event" that Su Bomin has been thinking about for many years.
He said that China is an ancient civilization with a long history. In the long years, the Chinese nation has created and left a rich and colorful material cultural heritage.
These precious heritages are non-renewable material resources, and also an important part of the country's "cultural soft power", and one of the important carriers for the spread and development of culture.
In recent years, China's investment in cultural relics research and restoration has increased year by year.
According to incomplete statistics, more than 70 schools in China have successively established majors related to the protection of cultural relics or cultural heritage.
"However, these majors are often a research direction attached to disciplines such as history, archaeology, fine arts or materials, and they are not independent and lack a unified discipline training model." Su Bomin pointed out that although students study cultural relics protection, their graduation certificate It is often confused by the outside world in terms of employment and talent classification. This situation is not conducive to the cultivation of cultural relics protection and restoration professionals, nor is it conducive to disciplines. developing.
Su Bomin said that in view of the above reasons, it is recommended that the national education department recognize cultural relics science and conservation technology as independent disciplines, set up corresponding departments in colleges and universities, compile and publish unified textbooks, and formulate unified and standardized training programs. This move will vigorously promote The cultivation of high-level cultural relics protection research and restoration talents in China is of great significance to the protection of China's precious cultural heritage.
