Work on cultural relics recognized

China Daily  

Seventy-nine outstanding individuals involved in cultural relics, including archaeologists, museum employees and conservators, and 49 organizations and academies were bestowed awards at the national cultural relics-related working conference in Beijing on Friday. The sector was also urged to "better explore values of cultural relics and make them 'alive'," according to the country's new guiding principle of cultural relics-related work, which was addressed by Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, at the conference. Hu said that challenges still exist amid the fast urbanization in China, though safety conditions of the country's cultural relics have largely improved in the past decade. Eight more cultural heritage sites in the country gained World Heritage status, over 200 local rules and regulations concerning cultural relics were promulgated, and more than 1,800 Chinese cultural relics lost to overseas were repatriated. "For people who work for cultural relics, this is the best time," Yang Jianwu, director of Zhejiang Provincial Administration of Cultural Heritage, said at the conference.
