China News Service, Beijing, June 2 (Reporter Ying Ni) "We have moved from cultural relic protection to cultural heritage protection, and the scope of protection has been greatly expanded." President of the Chinese Cultural Relics Society, special researcher of the Central Academy of Culture and History, and the Palace Museum Shan Jixiang, director of the Academic Committee, said this in the first lecture of the "Jinghe Lecture Hall".

　　Shan Jixiang believes that in the past, the protection of cultural relics emphasized the protection of cultural elements, while the protection of cultural heritage emphasized the protection of those cultural landscapes generated by cultural elements and natural elements.

From paying attention to the static state to paying attention to the living state, from paying attention to the ancient times to paying attention to the modern times, from individual protection to overall protection, traditional dwellings, industrial heritage and intangible cultural heritage are becoming an important part of cultural heritage protection. Heritage protection work and urban and rural construction and development are closely related. The relationship is also closer.

"The protection of cultural heritage should not be limited, but must be integrated into the times and reflected in life."

　　The proposal to "make archaeological sites as beautiful as parks" is becoming a reality.

When it comes to the National Archaeological Site Park, Shan Jixiang is quite familiar: In 1961, the Daming Palace site was announced as a national key cultural relic protection unit, and there was a conflict between heritage protection and local construction.

After the construction of Daming Palace Ruins Park, not only the heritage itself was successfully applied for World Heritage, but the living environment and quality of life of local residents have also been significantly improved. The digital museum has been completed, and various cultural activities have been favored by local residents and tourists.

In addition, the implementation of large-scale cultural heritage protection projects such as Liangzhu Site Park, Anji Ecological Museum, and Shougang Industrial Site Park have highlighted the cultural power in urban and rural construction.

　　"Today, the protection of cultural heritage is no longer the patent of the government and the cultural relics department." Shan Jixiang pointed out that the value of cultural heritage has been better excavated and displayed, cultural heritage is "dignified", and the public is constantly aware of heritage protection work. Deepening, the ways for the public to understand, participate in and supervise related work continue to expand, cultural forces continue to feed back urban economic development and people's daily lives, and a benign interactive ecology is being formed.

　　He took the protection and repair process of the wind and rain bridge in Diping Township, Liping County, Guizhou as an example.

In the face of the rolling flood, the local Dong people jumped into the water regardless of their safety and desperately salvaged the components of the Wind and Rain Bridge.

From upstream to downstream, villagers along the route have invested in the rescue of parts, and finally, under the orderly organization of the government, the Wind and Rain Bridge was rebuilt.

The wind and rain bridge is a part of life for the Dong people, and the cultural heritage is closely related to the people's life and national culture.

Cultural heritage belongs to the public, and the results of protection should also be shared by all.

Shan Jixiang believes that only when the mission of cultural heritage protection is entrusted to the joint protection of hundreds of millions of people can the greatest synergy be gathered.

　　The wide application of digital technology has brought new opportunities for the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage. Shan Jixiang said that the digital application of museums has huge development potential and space.

At first, in order to alleviate the problem of too many visitors, the Palace Museum began to conduct digital attempts such as online exhibitions.

Today, all the more than 1.86 million pieces/sets of cultural relics in the Forbidden City have been retrieved in real time.

The digital presentation method not only enables massive cultural collections to be "on the cloud", but also helps to increase the attention of the current youth group to cultural heritage.

Shan Jixiang also mentioned that under the continuous influence of the epidemic, the digital practice of many museums has gradually allowed more people to adapt and become accustomed to the dissemination of Internet information and the application of new technologies.

　　Professor Fan Zhou, Dean of Beijing Jinghe Culture and Tourism Development Research Institute and Vice President of China Cultural Industry Association, responded to Shan Jixiang's views in the dialogue.

He said that digital technology has gradually become a new driving force for cultural heritage activation and innovation under the new normal.

Embracing digitalization of cultural heritage can transcend the barriers of time and space, keep cultural heritage young forever, let cultural stories be passed on forever, and make Chinese culture enduring.
