April 28 in Chengdu, Sichuan, the first national mobile cultural heritage Census Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33721.html ">2014 annual Provincial Census office director of the work, the provinces reported the latest survey."

State Cultural Relics Bureau Deputy Director Song Neu introduced, at present, the national state-owned units of Cultural relics Collection Survey basic completion, the provinces (district, city) gradually started to identify the work of cultural relics. The Census organization system and cooperation mechanism are completely established, the operation is effective, the personnel construction is basically completed, the national Basic implementation of provincial census funds, most of the city census funds are in place.

In the course of the census, the provinces have taken a lot of creative practice. For example, Henan increased the "Census and cultural relics clearance, grading combined" census content, and the census and the field scattered stone inscriptions centralized custody of the combination, carried out the industry to identify the collection of cultural relics work. Inner Mongolia has produced the first national survey of movable cultural relics in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region 800. Shandong has compiled a census implementation plan for the Archaeological Research Institute to ensure that the cultural relics stored in the relics storehouse, the archaeological relics held by the leader and the relics of the Linzi workstation are all included in the census scope. The Chongqing organization carries out "investigates the survey to look back", carries on the examination in the household, completes the report to the missing unit to make a visit to fill the work, guarantees the investigation accuracy and the science.

According to the introduction, this year is a mobile cultural heritage survey difficult to the year, not only to complete the cultural relics system of the state-owned units of the collection of cultural relics, but also to carry out a comprehensive collection of cultural relics information logging work.

Difficulty: The industry outside the unit coverage is broad, the talent fund lacks

Although our country has carried out three non-mobile cultural relics Census, but the census of movable cultural relics is the first time, the industry is large in quantity, weak in foundation, extensive in outside industry, and lack of experience to learn from.

"Non-Mobile heritage census tired is the body, removable cultural Relics Census tired is the heart." Zhang, a census-Jiangjin in Chongqing's cultural relics administration, said that almost all of the artifacts in the system are easy to coordinate. The census of movable cultural relics involves the state-owned units outside the cultural relics system. Although the census clearly stipulates that the current status and ownership of cultural relics should not be changed, many units have not cooperated with the census for various reasons. "Some units start the investigation to say that there is no cultural relics, we have to use a variety of channels to understand the actual situation, to find ways to enter the investigation." Moreover, the screening of cultural relics and the identification of cultural relics also have some difficulties. ”

It is understood that in addition to the state-owned museum and other cultural relics collection agencies, libraries, art galleries, archives also have a large collection of cultural relics, all levels of military organs (foreign agencies) and state-owned enterprises also have a certain number of cultural relics collection. For example, the National Political Consultative Committee, the State Council Organ Affairs Authority and other units to collect a large number of celebrities calligraphy and painting, the state press and publication of SARFT directly under the unit to save a large number of celebrity manuscripts, old record master, etc. some education, scientific research institutions, such as the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, A state-owned enterprise file director told reporters that enterprises also have a lack of attention to the protection of cultural relics, in the mind and consciousness is not fully aware of the importance of the census of movable cultural relics.

The large number of state-owned units, the nature and affiliation of the complex, the basic data and the actual situation is inconsistent, some units do not cooperate with the difficulties, which has brought difficulty to the census investigators. In the actual operation, the face of a large number of rich types of cultural relics, there are technical difficulties.

Chongqing Library Collections Center Director Xingzhonghua said, books and other cultural relics, such as weight of the book is not particularly important, but the census registration is not differentiated, the census is also lack of specific cultural relics of the standard design.

In the visit, the talent, funds, is the focus of the grassroots census to reflect the problem. The importance of the survey of movable cultural relics is self-evident, but because the work of the census of movable cultural relics is mostly done indoors, the work is not easy to be noticed. There is a relative lack of staffing and financial support. The census rate of movable cultural relics also involves professional issues such as cultural relics identification, and the lack of grassroots professionals is particularly urgent.

"We will do our best to make the most of the census and to train the team, but also hope for more social support." The words of Yu Jun, director of the Chongqing Heritage Bureau, reflect the aspiration of the census-takers.

Highlights: The rational use of cultural relics to focus on the information platform will be online

It is an important purpose of census to make the cultural relics resources live and strengthen the use of cultural relics.

The director of the State administration of cultural relics, Cei, emphasized the use of cultural relics when he talked about the focus of this year's cultural relics, and pointed out that to co-ordinate the conservation and utilization of cultural relics, we should give full play to the role of heritage resources in inheriting outstanding traditional culture, carrying forward socialist core values and satisfying the The rational use of cultural relics in a more prominent position, through the work of the whole process of cultural relics.

Although the census of movable cultural relics is not easy to carry out, it is surprising that in the course of the census, there will always be new discoveries. Sichuan Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture of Cultural relics management in clearance work, found a group in the 80 's collection of ancient books, by textual research, respectively, for the Ming Chongzhen, Qing Shunzhi, Kangxi Period Imperial Examination of the Jinshi article collection, collected near the end of the Qing Dynasty, the first scholars in the study article. This kind of ancient books is very rare in Aba prefecture and even in Sichuan province, and it is very important to study the system of science examination at that time, historical figures and bookbinding technology.

There are a few examples. In the process of census, the excavation of new value of cultural relics and the discovery of new relics expand the connotation and quantity of national treasures. But how to properly protect and use, also become a problem facing people. Zhang said they found in the census site, the protection and use of cultural relics, the situation is worrying. Especially some easily damaged calligraphy and painting, no rescue will not be. And how to use cultural relics, so that cultural relics and common people meet, but also need more supporting measures to follow up.

The census is the basic work of the conservation and utilization of cultural relics, next, the census will focus on heritage, heritage resources sharing. It is reported that the national mobile Cultural Relics information landing platform is about to run online. Relevant leaders, for museums and other cultural relics collection units, the platform will help the museum to standardize the collection management system, enhance the collection management level, cultivate the collection management talent. For the state-owned units, the platform will build a collection database for each collection unit to improve the awareness of cultural relics protection. The administrative Department of Cultural relics at all levels can get a real-time understanding of the total amount, type, distribution, management and protection status of the regional cultural relics resources and dynamically supervise the cultural relics resources. The public can participate in the protection of cultural heritage through the platform inquiry, use of cultural relics resources. "The platform will not only serve the census and audit information, but also continue to play a role in the field of cultural heritage after the census is completed." said the responsible comrade.

It is expected that the mobile heritage Census uses keyboards and cameras to retain the light and shadow of cultural relics, so that cultural relics from the pavilion to the world, construction of information era of cultural relics.
