"Resplendent Relics: Heritage of History and Culture and Reflection of Modern Value" ** abstract: ** This article aims to explore how cultural relics can regain their brilliance from the accumulation of history. By analyzing the historical significance of cultural relics, the status quo of protection, display, development and utilization, etc., it explains the path and important value of cultural relics in contemporary society to achieve "reappearance of glory". ** I. Introduction ** Cultural relics were an important carrier of human history and culture. They carried the memories, wisdom, and skills of the past. In modern society, it was of far-reaching significance to let cultural relics regain their glory. Not only could it allow people to better understand history, but it could also play an irreplaceable role in many fields such as cultural inheritance, education, tourism, and international exchanges. ** 2. Historical significance of cultural relics ** (I) The foundation of cultural inheritance Cultural relics were the physical evidence of history and culture. For example, there were more than 200 cultural relics in the Qin Xianyang Civilization Exhibition. These cultural relics covered the process of the Qin Dynasty unifying the six countries, the prosperous scene of the Qin Xianyang City, and the influence of the Qin Dynasty on culture and ideology after the unification. From Shang Yang's reform to Qin Shihuang's unification of weights and measures, writing, currency, and a series of other measures, traces could be found in these cultural relics. They silently recounted the prosperity and glory of the Qin Dynasty. They were an indispensable part of the inheritance of the Chinese culture and reflected the profoundness of the Chinese culture. (2) Reflect the social scene at that time Cultural relics from different periods could reflect the politics, economy, culture, social life, and other aspects of the time. For example, the cultural relics in the special exhibition of Yangshao Jade Rhyme in Xianyang Museum and the unearthed cultural relics of Yinjia Village site were about 6000 to 5300 years ago. The serpentine jade ware, such as the 26-centimeter long jade axe, not only reflected the superb jade processing technology at that time, but also the large size of the jade axe, jade axe and other ritual vessels, showing the strict social hierarchy at that time. In addition, cultural relics such as pottery and bone ware showed the lifestyle and spiritual world of the ancestors during the Yangshao culture. ** III. Status of Cultural Relics Protection ** (I) The problem 1. improper safekeeping In some areas, due to the lack of perfect cultural relics storage facilities, there were problems with the preservation of cultural relics. Some high-grade cultural relics could only be temporarily stored elsewhere, and some cultural relics were seriously corroded due to poor storage conditions, even faster than when they were underground. For example, some areas did not have a decent cultural relic warehouse, which made it impossible for a large number of cultural relics to be properly preserved. This was not conducive to the protection of cultural relics, but also affected the value of cultural relics. 2. insufficient investment Financial investment played a key role in the protection of ancient buildings and other cultural relics. In the less developed areas, due to the relatively low financial revenue, there was less investment in cultural relics protection, resulting in many ancient buildings falling into disrepair. According to the relevant regulations on the protection of cultural relics, different levels of protection units should be maintained and protected by the corresponding level of finance, but there was often a shortage of funds in actual implementation. 3. The imbalance between development and protection Some areas were rich in cultural relics, but they were not developed enough and did not give full play to the benefits of cultural relics. Compared with the developed tourism areas, the development of cultural relics and tourism resources in some places was seriously insufficient, resulting in a large amount of waste of resources. For example, in some areas, there were fewer cultural relics and tourist attractions open to the outside world, and the number of visitors was also small. It was difficult to maintain normal expenditure from ticket income, resulting in the protection and development of cultural relics falling into a vicious circle. 4. Man-made damage is serious The lack of awareness of cultural relics protection also posed a serious threat to cultural relics. Cultural relics were non-regenerative resources, but they were still faced with the phenomenon of theft and sale. Some construction units would deliberately destroy cultural relics in order to rush the construction period, ignoring the importance of cultural relics exploration. (II) Protective measures and results 1. International Cooperation and the Return of Cultural Relics Interinternationally, the return of cultural relics had achieved certain results. For example, the seven white marble pillars in Yuanmingyuan were donated back to China by a collection organization in Norway after years of hard work and cooperation. These stone pillars were originally part of the Western Building of Yuanmingyuan. They had been lost overseas for many years. Their return filled the gap in the cultural relics of Yuanmingyuan and provided valuable information for the study of the architectural style and cultural content of Yuanmingyuan. It also reflected the importance and cooperation of the international community on the protection of cultural heritage. 2. Raising Awareness of Protection By increasing the publicity of cultural relics laws and regulations, citizens 'awareness of cultural relics protection could be raised. When the masses learned about the long history and culture of the local area, they would have a sense of pride as locals, which would enhance their sense of responsibility for protecting cultural relics. This would help reduce the destruction of cultural relics at the source. ** IV. Exhibition and Development of Cultural Relics ** (I) Museum Exhibition The museum was an important platform for the exhibition of cultural relics. Xianyang Museum held various kinds of exhibition, such as "The Glory of the Imperial Capital--The Civilization Exhibition of Qin Xianyang","The Western Han Army--The Colored Terracotta Warriors and Horses Exhibition of Yangjiawan","The Jade Rhyme of Yangshao--The Special Exhibition of the Unearthed Cultural Relics of Yinjia Village Ruins", etc., with rich exhibition items, meticulous arrangement and profound cultural content, it presented a splendid historical and cultural feast to the audience. The exhibition made the audience feel as if they were in the long river of history, experiencing the charm of Chinese civilization at a close distance, stimulating people's enthusiasm for understanding history and loving culture, and contributing to the inheritance and promotion of Chinese excellent traditional culture. (II) Cultural tourism development The rational development of cultural relics tourism resources could allow cultural relics to play a greater role in modern society. For example, some areas could combine cultural relics and historical sites to create special tourist routes to attract more tourists. At the same time, it could also drive the development of the local tourism industry, increase income, and provide more financial support for cultural relics protection. (III) Cultural and creative products Using cultural relics as elements to develop cultural and creative products was also a way to make cultural relics regain their glory. By combining the cultural elements of cultural relics with modern design concepts, they could develop unique creative products, such as stationery, jewelry, and crafts. Not only could they increase the spread of cultural relics, but they could also create certain economic benefits in the market. ** 5. conclusion ** The restoration of cultural relics was a comprehensive project, which required joint efforts in many aspects such as cultural relics protection, exhibition, development and utilization. Only by paying attention to the historical significance of cultural relics, solving the current problems faced by the protection of cultural relics, and fully excavating the display and development value of cultural relics could cultural relics shine brightly in modern society, realize the perfect combination of historical and cultural inheritance and modern value, play a greater role in contemporary society, and constantly enrich the spiritual and cultural world of mankind.
