China News Service, October 20 On the morning of the 20th, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences with the theme of "Starting the 15th Five-Year Plan". Hu Kaihong, deputy director of the Central Office of Spiritual Civilization and Director of the Office of the Central Cultural Heritage Protection Commission, said that in order to strengthen the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage and promote the high-quality development of cultural heritage, with the consent of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the General Office of the State Council recently issued the "Fifteenth Five-Year Plan for Cultural Heritage Protection and Inheritance" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"). This plan is the first five-year plan formulated in the field of cultural heritage protection in my country.
Hu Kaihong pointed out that the main goals of the "Plan" are: by 2030, cultural heritage resources will be fully understood, the regulatory system will be basically straightened out, laws and regulations will be more complete, the talent team will continue to grow, protection inspections will be strong and effective, a large-scale cultural heritage protection pattern will be basically formed, and the important role of cultural heritage in building a socialist cultural power will be fully demonstrated.
Hu Kaihong also mentioned that the "Plan" consists of 12 text parts and 12 columns, coordinating and promoting the protection of cultural relics, intangible cultural heritage, historical and cultural cities (blocks, villages and towns) and other fields, and strengthening the construction and protection of national cultural parks, covering industrial heritage, agricultural cultural heritage, water conservancy heritage, archival documentary heritage, place name cultural heritage and other heritage types. The "Plan" strengthens overall planning and coordination, deepens reform and innovation, systematically plans major reforms, major initiatives, and major policies, and forms a number of new highlights and breakthroughs.
Focusing on the main line of promoting the systematic protection of cultural heritage, the "Plan" proposes to build a large-scale protection pattern for cultural heritage, improve the capacity and level of cultural heritage governance, and strengthen support and guarantees. Based on the general survey of cultural heritage resources, relying on the inheritance and development project of China's excellent traditional culture, and using laws and regulations as the guarantee, we will promote the construction of a large-scale protection pattern. It is proposed to strengthen spatial planning control, maintain the safety of cultural heritage, establish a cultural heritage protection and supervision system, and implement protection and supervision responsibilities. It is required to promote the construction of an independent knowledge system for cultural heritage, build a national-level scientific and technological innovation platform base, and optimize the cultural heritage talent development mechanism. Deepen international exchanges and cooperation on cultural heritage and promote exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.
The "Plan" comprehensively increases the protection of cultural relics. It is proposed to increase the disclosure of cultural relics protection units at all levels, improve the cultural relics protection and supervision system at the city, county and unclassified levels, implement the pre-protection requirements, strengthen the classified protection of linear heritage, ancient cities and industrial heritage such as ancient capitals and counties, and improve the level of protection of immovable cultural relics. It is proposed to promote archaeological work and research on the history of civilization, optimize infrastructure archaeology, strengthen urban archeology and border archeology, and improve the level of protection and management of archaeological sites and parks. Comprehensively strengthen museum management and the protection of cultural relics in collections, promote the protection and sorting of ancient books, documents, archives, etc., and improve the quality and efficiency of museum public services.
The "Plan" further promotes the effective protection and living inheritance of famous historical and cultural cities, neighborhoods, villages and towns. It is proposed to strengthen the approval and announcement of famous cities, neighborhoods, villages and towns based on the results of cultural relics census and special surveys. It is also necessary to strengthen investigation and protection of old neighborhoods, old villages and towns that have not yet been included in the protection list. For those whose protection is insufficient, the "Plan" proposes to implement an exit mechanism from the protection list. Deepening the connotation of overall protection requires the overall protection of traditional patterns, spatial textures, historical features, street systems, architectural remains, cultural ecology, and landscape environments, and emphasizes the use of micro-transformation methods to carry out small-scale progressive repairs and promote living inheritance.
The "Plan" focuses on strengthening the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. It is proposed to thoroughly implement the intangible cultural heritage inheritance and development project, improve the protection and inheritance system, and improve the dynamic adjustment mechanism for the list of representative intangible cultural heritage items. Strengthen the classified protection of traditional folk customs, traditional music, traditional drama, traditional sports, traditional medicine, and folk literature. It is proposed to protect cultural spaces such as villages, streets, alleys, stages, ancestral halls, and gardens where intangible cultural heritage is based, and to strengthen the overall protection of cultural ecology.
The "Plan" stipulates that the Central Cultural Heritage Protection Committee will play the role of overall coordination, overall promotion, and supervision of implementation. The Office of the Central Cultural Heritage Protection Commission specifically promotes and organizes implementation, organizes and evaluates planning goals and tasks, and the progress of major projects, and promotes the implementation of various tasks. Strengthen the unified leadership of the Party committee, the overall coordination of the propaganda department, and the relevant departments to perform their duties and responsibilities for cultural heritage protection.
