The Second World War destroyed cultural relics
The Second World War caused great damage to the cultural relics. In Asia, the Japanese invaders destroyed and plundered a large number of China cultural relics. For example, many of the cultural relics that China had stolen from Japan during World War II had not been returned. Due to various historical and practical reasons, the academic community did not pay much attention to this issue. In Europe, war also caused damage to cultural relics. For example, a major case of cultural relics destruction occurred in Germany after World War II. On October 21,2021, the German police reported a case of deliberate destruction of cultural relics. The exhibition of three museum on Berlin Museum Island was deliberately splashed with oily liquid, causing more than 70 cultural relics to be damaged. This was the largest case of cultural relics destruction in Germany after World War II. The international community was also aware of the huge damage that the war had caused to the world's heritage. After the war, they had made many efforts in the return of cultural relics. For example, Unesco has been working hard to promote the return of illegally transferred cultural relics to the country of origin and original owners. Since the 1990s, many international organizations and non-governmental organizations had put forward some principles and suggestions to promote the countries concerned to negotiate and reach an agreement on the return of cultural relics looted or transferred during World War II. In 1995, the International Standardisation Department of the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organization provided a draft of basic principles for dealing with disputes arising from cultural heritage transferred during the Second World War. In May 2000, the Department of International Standardises of the United Nations Organization for Scientific and Cultural Cooperation held a meeting of experts at its headquarters in Paris to refine the relevant principles. In addition, the international community had made many efforts to curb and combat the theft, illegal excavation, and trafficking of cultural relics. Read more exciting novels for free

Protect cultural relics, protect cultural relics
Cultural relics protection referred to taking a series of measures to prevent damage to historical relics with historical value, cultural value, and scientific value. Cultural relics were divided into movable cultural relics (such as important objects, works of art, documents, manuscripts, books, materials, representative objects, etc.) and immovable cultural relics (such as ancient cultural heritage, ancient tombs, ancient buildings, cave temples, stone carvings, murals, important historical sites and representative buildings in modern times). When repairing, maintaining, and moving immovable cultural relics, the principle of not changing the original state of the cultural relics and the principle of minimum intervention must be adhered to in order to preserve the historical information and historical value of the cultural relics to the greatest extent. With the approval of the people's government of the province, autonomous region or municipal directly under the Central Government, a certain area for construction control may be set aside around the site to be protected for its cultural relics. The State Administration of Cultural Relics was in charge of the national cultural relics protection work, the provincial cultural relics bureau was in charge of the provincial cultural relics protection work, and the cultural relics administrative departments of the people's governments of various states, cities, counties (cities) were in charge of the local cultural relics protection work. From a social perspective, cultural relics protection leading groups were established in towns and villages to be responsible for the protection of cultural relics and the organization and management of cultural relics protectors. Cultural relics protection groups were established in villages to be responsible for the protection of cultural relics within the village. Cultural relics protection groups established by government agencies, factories, troops, schools, etc. generally focused on the protection of certain cultural relics. There were also mass amateur organizations such as cultural relic lovers 'associations established in places. In actual work, for example, Binzhou City strengthened the safety measures of cultural relics, including jointly issuing documents with multiple departments to compact responsibilities, coordinating the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security to add patrol and care public welfare posts, carrying out safety inspections and cracking down on special actions to prevent cultural relics crimes, etc. Some places also actively explored new ways to protect and utilize cultural relics, such as digging deep into the historical meaning of ancient buildings, holding cultural activities and exhibition, etc. Cultural relics could also be protected by strengthening the supervision of cultural relics protection, the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, and the interpretation of the value of cultural relics. In addition, strengthening the publicity of law enforcement and enhancing the awareness of the people's cultural relics protection would also help the development of cultural relics protection work. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
