　　Over the past year, people have taken turns to "check in" at various museums and cultural relics, from the bronze longitudinal mask in Sanxingdui, Sichuan to the "Speechless Bodhisattva" in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, from the ancient city of Liangzhu in Zhejiang to the Yinxu ruins in Henan.

How to make cultural relics better "speak" and benefit the public?

How to empower the cultural tourism industry with cultural relics?

This year’s National Two Sessions, representatives and committee members provided suggestions and suggestions.

Let the museum “speak”

　　The new Yinxu Museum in Henan has opened its doors to welcome visitors.

He Yuling, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Anyang Work Station of the Institute of Archeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that compared with the simple display of cultural relics in the old museum, the new museum is shaped like a bronze tripod, with door handles, interior patterns, and doors. Bin characters give full play to the cultural elements of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The special exhibition on the third floor displays the "circle of friends" of the oracle bone owner, and "the audio interactive device presents the sound measurement results of three copper cymbals unearthed from Yachang's tomb, allowing the sounds of 3,000 years ago to resonate today."

　　"In the next year or two, we will put important cultural relics in the 'Fine Archaeological Laboratory' for cleaning, and the audience can see the working scenes inside through the glass curtain wall outside." He Yuling said.

　　Fayan, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and deputy directors of the Palace of Ethnic Culture, said that in recent years, various parts of the country have actively explored letting cultural relics "speak", but there has been insufficient efforts to explore and interpret the connotations of cultural relics and ancient books, and the forms of display and communication need to be enriched and innovated.

He suggested strengthening the in-depth integration of historical relics and modern technology to provide immersive experience and other services.

A mobile phone "connects a thousand years"

　　"It is necessary to strengthen the construction of digital standards for cultural relics and the sharing of digital resources for cultural relics." Wang Wanfu, a representative of the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Conservation Research Department of the Dunhuang Academy, said that the academy has currently launched the "Travel Dunhuang" mini program, "Digital Scripture Cave", etc. The "Digital Dunhuang Resource Library" has launched 30 high-definition images of the entire cave and panoramic roaming programs for global sharing. "When you travel to Dunhuang with a mobile phone, you can think about it for thousands of years."

　　"It is recommended that unified standards for the digitalization of cultural relics be formulated and promulgated as soon as possible at the national level, and the entire process of collection, sorting, storage, processing, and use should be included in the standard specifications, so that digital technology can better help cultural relics come alive." Wang Wanfu suggested.

Exhibitions are more friendly for teenagers

　　During the Spring Festival this year, the Six Dynasties Museum under the Nanjing Municipal Museum welcomed tourists with the theme of the Year of the Dragon, attracting many teenagers on winter vacation.

Song Yan, deputy to the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Nanjing Municipal Museum, introduced that the museum has innovatively designed dozens of social education and research courses such as "Exploring the Six Dynasties" based on the collection of cultural relics and Nanjing culture, "taking the culture of the Six Dynasties into the community, The school promotes it at close range." Last year, 7 venues under the Nanjing Municipal Museum carried out 1,781 social education activities.

　　The popularity of "cultural relic research" also made Song Yan discover new problems.

"The museum's display settings, lighting levels, display cabinet heights, and commentary content do not fully meet the needs of children." In this regard, Song Yan suggested formulating reference standards for "child-friendly museums."

"The exhibition can 3D print some of the exhibit images, provide blind school children with opportunities to touch the exhibits, optimize the 'little docent' volunteer project, etc."

Revitalizing cultural tourism with cultural relics as the axis

　　The "Speechless Bodhisattva" who has been the avatar of many netizens over the past year comes from the China Ceramics Museum in Jingdezhen.

Many people used to think that the significance of Jingdezhen was only the production of porcelain. However, with the change of development concepts, there are now more green spaces and parks in the area, and the former black chimney has become a new landmark of the cultural and creative industrial park.

　　Zhang Jingjing, deputy to the National People's Congress and dean of the International College of Jingdezhen Ceramics University, suggested building a special cultural relic protection area in Jingdezhen to further protect the lane texture of Jingdezhen's old town.

An ancient porcelain piece trading center, cultural relics store, contemporary ceramic art copyright trading center, etc. can be built to formulate development plans and paths that are consistent with Jingdezhen's future industries, communities, and cultural preservation.

　　He Yuling hopes that the new Yinxu Museum will complement and interact with the existing Yinxu palace area, Yinxu royal tomb area, and the archaeological and cultural tourism town under construction, "allowing us to fully display and display archaeology and excavation research at the same time. Activation and utilization form a very complete display chain and information chain."
