"One picture" of cultural relics and "one account" of intangible cultural heritage Yunnan's "15th Five-Year Plan" will strengthen the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage

China News Service, Kunming, November 14 (Luo Jie) Recently, the Yunnan Provincial People's Government issued the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for Culture and Tourism Development in Yunnan Province" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). The province will strengthen the protection and inheritance, build a "map" of immovable cultural relics resources, and establish a general catalog of intangible cultural heritage resources.

Yunnan, located in the southwest border of China, is one of China's major tourist provinces. It attracts tourists from all over the world due to its rich biological resources, pleasant climate, and diverse ethnic cultures.

The overall requirements of the "Plan" propose that the "Cultural Rejuvenation of Yunnan" action will be implemented in depth, systematically promote innovation in tourism products, models, business formats and service excellence, strengthen and optimize the cultural tourism economy, continue to polish the golden sign of Yunnan tourism, and strive to build cultural tourism into a carrier of integration of national unity and progress demonstration zones, a bright business card for the vanguard of ecological civilization construction, and a humanistic link oriented to the radiation center of South Asia and Southeast Asia. By 2030, the construction of a strong cultural and tourism province will be advanced in depth. Looking forward to 2035, the province will basically be built into a strong cultural and tourism province.

The "Plan" points out that Yunnan will improve the cultural heritage resource management system, improve the monitoring and early warning system, and strengthen the protection and utilization of world cultural heritage such as Lijiang Ancient Town. Promote the application of the Burma Highway and the Southern Silk Road to the South Asia Corridor, promote the Jianchuan Shizhongshan Grottoes to be included in China's preparatory projects for the application of heritage, and deepen the research and interpretation of the "Peace Culture Site Group" of the Nongke Ni Cave in Cangyuan.

In terms of strengthening the protection, research and utilization of cultural relics, the "Plan" proposes to strengthen the protection and management of cultural relics and historic sites, participate in major projects such as exploring the origins of Chinese civilization and "Archaeology of China", and deepen archaeological research in Southwest Yi. We will also promote the construction of national archaeological sites and strengthen the contiguous protection and overall display of cultural relics in the Long March and Yangtze River National Cultural Park (Yunnan Section). Create red cultural-themed tourism routes and launch cultural relic-themed tour trails to make cultural relics come alive.

In the field of cultural museums, Yunnan will implement a plan to improve small and medium-sized museums and promote the construction of characteristic museum clusters. We will launch themed exhibitions such as forging the consciousness of the Chinese nation’s community, promote virtual restoration and digital display of cultural relics in the collection, enrich social education, cultural creative development, digital communication and other functions, improve the level of activation and utilization of cultural relics in the collection, and promote the museum to become an important cultural landmark.

In addition, the "Plan" also proposes to deepen the protection and inheritance of Yunnan's material cultural heritage, by strengthening the management of representative intangible cultural projects and inheritors, cultivating "new intangible cultural youth", promoting "intangible cultural heritage on campus", and improving the intangible cultural heritage protection and inheritance system. It will also speed up the construction of intangible cultural heritage and experience facilities, build cultural and ecological protection zones; improve the intangible cultural heritage database, explore and promote the registration and value transformation of intangible cultural heritage digital assets; create the "Yunnan Nannan Heritage Grand View Park" brand, etc.
