cultural relics protection: funding gap and social contribution

in recent years, some scenic spots have tried to promote cultural relics protection through a new mechanism of "government guidance, social participation, and sharing of results". shanxi province took the lead in promoting a social participation model, encouraging social forces to participate in cultural relics protection through donations, fundraising, and investment, forming a mechanism of government guidance, social participation, and sharing of results, which effectively alleviated financial pressure. however, this model also faces some challenges. for example, it is difficult for capital investment to achieve the expected results, and social participation is still not high enough.

leaders of the state administration of cultural heritage also pointed out that the protection of cultural relics faces problems such as lack of funds, unclear property rights and lack of social responsibility. these problems reflect that cultural relics protection needs to break through traditional thinking patterns and explore more effective ways to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

for example, shanxi kaijia energy group obtained the operating rights of jiexiu zhangbi ancient castle in the form of "adoption" and built it into a 4a-level scenic spot that receives more than 350,000 tourists annually. this approach not only effectively alleviates financial pressure, but also achieves a win-win situation for cultural relics protection and tourism development. in addition, the "ancient building music season" jointly launched by the beijing municipal cultural relics bureau and the dongcheng district government further reflects the power of social participation. through corporate funding and operation, music flows in temples, pavilions and high platforms, making cultural relics "alive" and enhancing their tourism popularity.

in recent years, the state council has put forward clear policy requirements for cultural relics protection and encouraged government departments to increase investment. however, these policies still need continuous exploration and practice to be truly implemented.

at the same time, we also need to pay attention to the following aspects:

• cultural confidence and social identity: cultural relics protection not only relies on financial investment, but also requires the establishment of a sense of identity and responsibility for cultural heritage. the government, society and individuals all need to jointly promote the development of cultural relics protection, and give full play to their own advantages to create a good environment for cultural heritage.
• diversified development model: in addition to traditional methods, we need to explore new solutions to promote cultural relics protection. for example, we can integrate cultural relics into the field of education to connect cultural relics with young people; or transform cultural relics into themed experience activities to let tourists experience the charm of culture and history.

ultimately, i hope that the protection of cultural relics can receive more social support and investment, and that their value can be truly brought into play.
