(Interview between the two sessions) Liang Liuke, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested the introduction of the Regulations on the Protection and Utilization of Chinese Grottoes
China News Service, Beijing, March 6 (Li Guigang, Zhao Hui) "Except for the Dunhuang, Yungang, and Longmen Grottoes, the protection of other places is not ideal." Liang Liuke, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, proposed to introduce the "China Grottoes Protection" during the two sessions of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. And Utilization Regulations, to provide a strong legal guarantee for the effective protection and development of the grotto heritage.
Dunhuang, Yungang and Longmen Grottoes are the three representatives of Chinese cave temples.
The reporter combed and found that the three major grottoes currently have local "Grotto Protection Regulations."
In Liang Liuke's view, "there is still a lack of uniform legal protection at the national level."
In November 2020, the General Office of the State Council issued the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Protection and Utilization of Cave Temples", which pointed out that it is necessary to improve the coordinated protection research mechanism of the cave temples at the national and regional levels.
In an interview with reporters, Liang Liuke stated that the "Regulations on the Protection and Utilization of Chinese Grottoes" should be formulated on this basis, and international and domestic laws and regulations on the protection of cultural heritage such as the "World Heritage Convention" and "Operation Guidelines" should be implemented. "In the first place", to protect the authenticity and integrity of cultural relics and the ecological diversity of the environment where the cultural relics are located, and to formulate unified regulations, planning and management systems for the development of grotto resources.
In Liang Liuke's suggestion, strengthening legal protection is part of the establishment of a research system for the protection and utilization of grottoes with Chinese characteristics. It needs to pay equal attention to innovation of system and mechanism, strengthening of scientific research, and strengthening of heritage "activation".
Liang Liuke said that “it is very necessary to integrate, strengthen research and unified management of the national grottoes at present.” We should learn from the successful practices of Dunhuang grotto management, integrate the grottoes in various provinces into unified management, realize the great integration of grotto resources, and build Chinese grotto temples. Conservation and utilization of "new heights".
In view of the low degree of internationalization, weak research team, and limited research results in the current Chinese cave research, Liang Liuke suggested that a complete system of cave studies should be established as soon as possible, and a talent team should be "emphasized on both introduction and cultivation", and various forms of international exhibitions should be carried out. Activities and cultural exchanges and dialogues.
In recent years, China has continuously explored the protection of cave temples.
Taking the Central Plains region as an example, the Longmen Grottoes have made many research results in conservation research and smart tourism, and the "digital dragon gate" has become one of the benchmarks.
Liang Liuke said that Luoyang can support the construction of a national regional grotto temple protection research base at the national level, including grotto world heritage monitoring platform, grotto three-dimensional digital center, and China grotto temple archeology and art research center, etc., to provide experience for national grotto temple protection research.
