Taking the application process of China World Cultural Heritage as the breakthrough point, Dean Shan expounded the significance of cultural heritage protection, utilization and inheritance, the difference between cultural relics protection and cultural heritage protection, and emphatically shared how the workers of the Forbidden City overcame many difficulties, changed their ways and concepts, changed the face of the Forbidden City and made it thoroughly remould themselves.
He also used a lot of vivid pictures, rich cases, detailed data and humorous language to share with you a series of reform measures and practical experience of the Palace Museum in the process of becoming a world-class museum, focusing on the improvement of the Forbidden City environment, the implementation of current restriction and diversion, the maintenance of ancient buildings, the restoration of cultural relics, the digitization of cultural relics, and cultural and creative industries. It also tells the story that several generations of "Forbidden City people" have always adhered to the initial intention and mission of cultural inheritance in protecting China traditional culture.
Dean Dan Jixiang believes that "making cultural relics alive, I think, is the direction of cultural heritage protection and museum construction today." Dan Jixiang found that 99% of the cultural relics can no longer be hidden in the warehouse. People have strong cultural needs, so we must open more fields and hold more exhibitions. Today, the open area of the Forbidden City has increased from 30% of the total area five years ago to more than 80% today. Many places that used to be "closed to tourists" have become exhibition halls today. He also said: "It is precisely because we have unswervingly implemented the concept of making cultural relics' live', so we can proudly say today that we have handed over a magnificent Forbidden City to the next 600 years!"
After three years of hard work, it has changed the face of the Forbidden City. For example, the Forbidden City has increased its open area through environmental improvement; Solved the problems of difficult to buy tickets, difficult to enter the door and long queue time; Solve the problem that it is difficult for visitors to the Forbidden City to go to the toilet; Let audiences of different ages know about the Forbidden City culture and love China traditional culture in the online and offline experience of the Forbidden City; Set up branches of the Palace Museum in many cities across the country to carry out in-depth cultural education in the Palace Museum. ...
There are also publicity signs, installation of electronic signs, and the new version of the Forbidden City automatic commentator; Signed a strategic service with Huawei to jointly build the 5G Forbidden City; Add a women's bathroom and set up a maternal and child room; Because of the lack of audience rest facilities, nearly 10 thousand tourist seats have been carefully set up according to the needs, which is suitable for the background color of the Forbidden City. Put an end to garbage and beautify the environment; Conduct joint fire drills in the Forbidden City to ensure the safety of tourists; Remove weeds from the roof of the palace, clean up municipal pipelines, and manage rectification. These practices reflect the people's position, not the position of managers, and profoundly interpret the people-centered service concept. It is also from the needs of the broad masses of the people that the Forbidden City, a cultural heritage resource, can live and be full of vitality.
Nowadays, cultural heritage has entered thousands of households. Protecting cultural relics and cultural heritage is no longer the patent of the government or the cultural relics department. It is the common cause of mankind and needs the extensive participation of the public. Everyone has the right to know, participate, supervise and benefit from the protection of cultural relics, so people's willingness to protect should be mobilized more.
Dean Shan also stressed the need to deal with the relationship between construction and protection. It is pointed out that the protection and utilization of cultural heritage is a means rather than an end, and the inheritance of cultural heritage is the end, because the ultimate goal of everything I do is to let our cultural heritage be passed down from generation to generation.
In addition, Dean Shan also talked about the restoration of cultural relics in the Forbidden City. He said, "When our cultural relics are not protected and are not facing the audience, they have no dignity. They are untidy. Only when they are protected and face the audience will they be radiant and radiant. " The restoration of cultural relics is difficult, and it depends on the craftsmanship. To this end, the Forbidden City has also set up a cultural relics hospital, trained many cultural relics doctors, and devoted themselves to the restoration of cultural relics, so that one culture can be displayed in front of people. He also talked about the very interesting world's largest cultural relic CT machine. I've seen people doing CT, but I've never heard of people doing CT for cultural relics!
In order to attract young people of different ages, the Palace Museum has also held various activities, such as developing cultural and creative products of the Palace Museum, establishing a digital museum with the latest technology, and establishing an education center of the Palace Museum.
In order to attract young people to learn the culture of the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City also launched the parent-child activity of "I study cultural relics in the old palace", the parent-child study experience camp of the Forbidden City, the China traditional culture public welfare class, summer camp activities and so on. Dan Jixiang also talked about the establishment of the Palace Museum. He said: "In the past six years, we have been growing, and at the same time, we have established ten branches of the Palace Museum in ten cities across the country to spread culture. More access to different countries and regions, such as Singapore, Thailand and Australia. Last year, the Forbidden City held more than 60,000 educational activities, which was the most colorful and the most watched in the world. Education in the Forbidden City is free of charge. It is most worthwhile for us to invest a lot of marketing income in our classmates. When they grow up, they must be a generation that has a cognitive love for traditional culture! "
In order to make it easier for people to understand the Forbidden City and better publicize and spread its history and culture to the world, the website, exhibition App and daily App of the Forbidden City were established. Through the Internet, people can "visit" the Forbidden City and learn about its culture without leaving home.
This self-proclaimed "gatekeeper" of the Forbidden City is sparing no effort to protect the cultural heritage of the Forbidden City, promoting people to understand the Forbidden City, history, and the humanistic spirit behind the cultural heritage, marveling at the cultural power behind the cultural heritage, bringing the sleeping cultural relics to life and telling the story of China traditional culture to the world!
The Forbidden City, after 600 years of wind and rain, is still in its prime! May we work together to protect and inherit the culture of the Forbidden City, let the cultural heritage resources be handed down from generation to generation, and hand over the Forbidden City perfectly to the 2/kloc-0 century and the next 600 years!
