Heritage sector's successes spark enthusiasm for more

China Daily  

A guide introduces a Buddhist sculpture replicated by 3D printing at a Dunhuang-themed exhibition in Beijing on June 18. The past decade witnessed a booming scenario for cultural heritage-related work in China, and the report delivered by Xi Jinping on Sunday in Beijing to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China gives stronger impetus to the country's heritage administrators to uphold the spirit of cross-cultural communication in their work. According to Fu Qisheng, head of the Fujian Provincial Bureau of Cultural Heritage, Fujian will step up efforts to research the Maritime Silk Road, an ancient trade route starting in China and connecting Asia, Europe and Africa, and unveil Fujian's participation in the communication and exchanges between different civilizations. "We will also proactively protect Fujian tulou and ancient stone residential buildings, highlight the study, protection and use of prehistoric sites like the Wanshouyan Hills site, and carry out a number of programs related to underwater cultural heritage protection," said Fu. Wen Dayan, director of the international cooperation department of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, said cultural relics can help to better tell Chinese stories overseas as well as connect China with the rest of the world.
