The collection of cultural relics and jade articles had many characteristics and requirements. From the direction of the collection, there were the following types. The first was to collect old jade. Ancient jade carried rich historical content, reflected the unique brand of the era, and had historical, cultural, and research value. It was favored under the influence of the concept of maintaining and increasing the value of ancient artifacts. However, the number of old jade was limited, and the real one was difficult to find and expensive, which also led to the increase of counterfeit ancient jade. The second was to only accept fine jade. These collectors paid attention to both the fine jade in the old jade and the high-quality jade in the new jade, such as jadeite jade with good quality, water and color. They believed that fine jade had more potential in maintaining and increasing value. However, most of the fine ancient jade was collected by the museum. It was relatively easy to encounter small and medium-sized jade from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The new jade had relatively better choices and reliability. The third was to accept it if they liked it. As long as these collectors liked it, they would buy it regardless of whether it was ancient jade or new jade, high-grade or low-grade, genuine or fake. They would use their personal preferences as the criterion and believe that the purpose of collecting was to be pleasing to the eye, so as to avoid the collection being completely commercial. From the point of view of the collection, it was necessary to take into account both the new and the ancient. China had a tradition of collecting ancient jade, but with the scarcity of ancient jade, tight supply, and rising prices, new jade collections should not be ignored. At the same time, both inside and outside must be taken into account. Whether it was new jade or ancient jade, the quality of the jade was very important. For example, Hetian jade in Xinjiang was more expensive, and the evaluation factors of high-quality jade included texture, color, density, crack, stain, etc. In addition, craftsmanship could not be ignored. Exquisite carving skills, beautiful artistic expression, and profound cultural content were indispensable for a jade piece worth collecting. Good craftsmanship could increase the artistic value of the jade, and the masterpiece of a jade carving master was both divine and beautiful. In addition, the value of cultural relics and jade articles was more complicated. Their value was related to the level of elegance and exquisiteness, as well as the price. It was also affected by factors such as region, culture, and dynasty. The value of jade was often underestimated internationally, and it had only improved in recent years. Different collectors had different tastes. Some preferred ancient jade artifacts, while others preferred modern ones. For beginners, it would take about one or two years to reach the beginner level if they studied seriously. However, collecting required a lot of time and energy, as well as wisdom. For example, they could use the method of hiding to improve their abilities. Read more exciting novels for free
Cultural relics could add a unique cultural atmosphere and memorable meaning to the wedding. For example, Wang Dun, a collector in Baoding, regarded his collection as an important existence. He even wanted to hold a wedding ceremony with his collection. This was his memorial and affectionate confession to his collection. There was also a wedding held in a hotel by the river in Wuchang. The bride's father, as a collector, brought 40 porcelain collections from the Han Dynasty to the early 1950s to the wedding, making the wedding like an antique exhibition. In addition, there was also a wedding held at the Zhicheng Museum. The couple used all kinds of old-fashioned aristocratic furniture, antique clocks, mechanical instruments, and other antique collections to decorate the venue. They chose a retro dark green color to match the large retro red wall in the museum to create a unique wedding atmosphere. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The management of cultural relics was a vital and complicated task, involving many considerations. I. Current Situation of Collection Management 1. ** Protection facilities ** - Many of the museum collections were poorly protected and lacked suitable storage. The management equipment was old, and the storage environment of the collection was not good. It was dirty, messy, and small, unable to meet the storage and display needs. In such an environment, the collection was easily affected by a variety of natural factors such as earthquakes, wind, thunder, electricity, insects, tides, dust, etc., resulting in serious natural damage. 2. ** Protecting funds ** - As a non-profit public welfare institution, the museum faced the dilemma of having little funds for collection management but many projects. The financial support was small, and there was not much income from their own operations and management, but the management expenditure was greater than the income. This made many management systems and equipment unable to be updated and perfected in time. 3. ** Protection technology ** - The lack of museum management technology led to the lack of necessary protection measures and programs for many collections. Collection management often only stopped at the basic stage of statistics, and it was difficult to effectively solve other problems, resulting in the disappearance of collections. 4. ** Protection system ** - The lack of a complete collection protection system resulted in the lack of constraints on the positions and individuals in the management work, and the division of labor was not clear. This could easily lead to negligence in management and a lack of responsibility and awareness for the protection of the collection. II. The importance and objectives of collection management 1. ** Important ** - The collection was the material foundation for the museum to carry out its business activities and the embodiment of the museum's existence value. Only by doing a good job in the management of the collection could the museum's social functions be fully utilized. 2. [Target] - Accurately identify the value of the collection, ensure the safety of the collection, and give full play to the role of the collection. This required the management method to be scientific and rigorous, but also simple and easy to implement, to achieve a sound system, clear accounts, accurate identification, detailed inventory, proper storage, easy to check and use. III. Modification measures 1. ** Capital investment and facility construction ** - Increasing capital investment was the key to improving the collection protection facilities and management system. According to the relevant regulations, museum collections should have fixed and dedicated warehouses. The warehouse construction and storage equipment should conform to the principle of economy and practicality on the premise of ensuring safety. 2. ** System construction and management standards ** - It was necessary to establish a sound management system, clarify the responsibilities of each position and personnel, and carry out scientific and standardized management of the collection management work, such as receiving, selecting, sorting, grading, recording, Catching, filing, storage, safekeeping, use, write off, statistics, and other tasks. 3. ** Upgrade technology and protection ability ** - To improve the collection protection technology, formulate a scientific protection plan, and avoid natural and man-made damage to the collection, it was necessary to protect and manage the collection in an all-round way. In short, the management of cultural relics collections needed to be improved and perfected in many aspects, such as facilities, funds, technology, and systems, in order to adapt to the requirements of the new era for the protection, management, and utilization of collections, and to better display the value of cultural relics collections. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The jade dragon cultural relics in Fuxin were mainly related to the Chahai site. The Chahai site was located on the balcony about 2.5 kilometers southwest of Chahai Village, Shala Town, Fuxin Mongolian Autonomous County, Liaoning Province. After carbon-14 measurement and tree ring correction, the site was about 8000 years old. The jade dragon cultural relics unearthed here were as follows: - In the outdoor exhibition area of the Chahai Ruins, there was a dragon-shaped pile of rocks, which was artificially piled up by reddish-brown natural stones of uniform size. The size of the stones was between 8 - 12 centimeters. It was 19.7 meters long, 3.8 meters wide at the head, and 2.2 meters wide at the body. The dragon head, neck, body, tail, and claws were clearly arranged, and the stones were arranged in an orderly manner from head to tail. This was the earliest and largest dragon found in China's Neoliths. It could be called the "First Dragon in China." - The jade artifacts unearthed from the Chahai site were all tremolite and real jade. The jade culture was also a typical representative of the Chahai culture. During the era of the Chahai culture, transportation was not developed. The jade used might have been obtained from Xiuyan nearby. The texture, color tone, and luster of the Chahai jade were mostly similar to Xiuyan tremolite jade specimens. Xiuyan nephrite was the main source of jade in the Hongshan culture, which had a great impact on the prehistoric culture of Northeast Asia. Because of the discovery of the first dragon in China and the world's first real jade, Fuxin was known as the "hometown of the Jade Dragon". <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The effectiveness of the management of cultural relics in museum collections is the result of the joint effect of many factors. ** I. Cultural relic protection ** 1. ** Establishment of protection system ** - It should cover the classification, registration, storage, restoration and safekeeping of cultural relics. For example, in the registration process, a complete registration system was used to ensure the safety of cultural relics, reduce the possibility of accidents and theft, and record the appearance information of cultural relics in detail and take photos for filing. - Establishing a responsibility investigation system to clarify the responsibilities of the leaders of the cultural relics protection management department and raise the awareness of the management personnel on the importance of cultural relics protection. - Regular inspection and management were adopted to ensure that the environment and security system of the cultural relics were in good condition, whether they were closed or opened. 2. ** Management of the environment ** - The management of the cultural relic protection environment was very important, including the control of temperature, humidity, lighting, ventilation, etc. For example, to ensure that the museum's cultural relics were stored under constant temperature and humidity, the lighting equipment of the warehouse should be selected according to the nature of the cultural relics. 3. ** Detection and Repair ** - Cultural relics should be inspected and repaired regularly, and damage to cultural relics should be discovered and dealt with in time to prevent the problem from worsening. 4. ** Awareness of protection ** - Some of the museum's cultural relics management staff had a weak sense of protection. They believed that the possibility of cultural relics being stolen was low, and the management work was not implemented to individuals, resulting in a reduction in management efficiency. Raising the awareness of protection could effectively improve the effectiveness of management. ** 2. Management Agency ** 1. ** Establishment of management system ** - The management organization should establish a scientific management system, including collection, sorting, research, display, etc., and clarify the responsibilities and authority of each department. - The establishment of specialized cultural relics management institutions, such as the Cultural Relics Management Department and the Cultural Relics Management Committee, composed of professionals and scholars, to supervise and evaluate the management and use of cultural relics. 2. ** Information sharing and communication ** - Pay attention to information sharing and communication, build a management network, and ensure the scientific and efficient management of cultural relics. ** 3. Digital Management ** 1. ** Creation of cultural relic archives ** - A complete archive of cultural relics should be established to store the basic information, pictures, and materials of cultural relics in a unified manner for convenient management and use. 2. ** Show and Spread ** - To provide more display methods for the museum, such as virtual exhibition, digital exhibition hall, etc., to expand the scope and audience of cultural relics. - It would facilitate the exchange and cooperation of cultural relics between the museum and other institutions and individuals, and broaden the channels of cooperation. ** 4. Exhibition ** 1. ** content planning ** - The content of the exhibition should be scientific and novel. It should be academic-based, audience-oriented, and combine the needs and reality of contemporary society to create an influential and attractive exhibition. 2. ** Audience Guidance and Education ** - The planning and design of cultural relics exhibition should be strengthened, and the theme and layout should be designed to attract the audience. At the same time, through a variety of exhibition activities and educational programs, the audience should be guided to understand the historical significance and academic content of cultural relics. ** 5. Personnel ** 1. ** Professional Requirement ** - The management of cultural relics required the staff to master the basic knowledge of the cultural relics storage environment, fully understand the different cultural relics materials and choose the appropriate management method. At present, there are non-professionals participating in the management work in some museum, which affects the effectiveness of management. - Due to the influence of funds, some of the museum managers were less educated and lacked the knowledge of preservation. They could not provide good storage conditions for cultural relics, such as tightly sealed storage cabinets, which would reduce the effectiveness of management. However, there are some problems in the management of cultural relics in some of the museum collections that affect the effectiveness: 1. ** Management System ** - The complicated management work made some of the museum accustomed to using traditional management methods and systems, making it difficult to adapt to the new management thinking, resulting in the management work becoming a formality. Some of the museum's funds were insufficient to meet the management requirements, and it was difficult to apply new management concepts and technology to improve the management system. 2. ** Relic movement ** - As the number of student visits organized by schools increased, the museum frequently moved cultural relics to meet the viewing needs. The storage and display areas of cultural relics were relatively fixed, which may increase the risk of damage to cultural relics and affect the effectiveness of management. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The following are some of the relevant standards and specifications for the management of cultural relics in the collection: 1. The Regulations on the Management of Museum Collection (Ministry of Culture, June 19, 1986, Wen Wu Zi [1986] No. 730), which clarified the general principles related to the management of museum collection. For example, if the collection is a precious national treasure, the museum should collect the collection according to its own nature and mission, and the collection should be classified into different grades. The museum has various responsibilities for the collection, etc. At present, the measures were being revised. In 2022, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage started the revision work, aiming to improve the standard, regulation and refinement level of collection management, so that it could be connected with the current laws and regulations and adapt to the practice and development trend of collection management in the new era. 2. The Regulations on Information Index System of Museum Collection was used to formulate the regulations for the classification and catalog of collections and to form the standards for the management of museum collections. In addition, there were also relevant work specifications issued by the State Administration of Cultural Relics, which could be used to update or adjust the collection information management index system. At different times, different departments also issued notices related to the management of cultural relics collections, such as the "Notice on Collecting the First batch of Industrial Culture Digital Collection Materials" issued by the Industrial Culture Development Center. These notices also affected the management of specific types of cultural relics to a certain extent. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
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>

The "four possessions" of cultural relics referred to the necessary protection scope, marking instructions, establishing records and archives, and setting up special protection and management agencies around the cultural protection unit. In 1961, the State Council approved the publication of the "Temporary Regulations on the Protection and Administration of Cultural Relics" for the first time, and in 1982, the State Council promulgated the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics" for the first time in the form of law. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics, which was revised in 2017, also pointed out: "The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and cities directly under the Central Government, as well as the people's governments of cities and counties, respectively, shall define the necessary scope of protection for cultural relics protection units, make signs and descriptions, establish records and archives, and set up specialized agencies or special personnel to manage them according to the circumstances. The scope of protection and the records of the key cultural relics protected throughout the country shall be reported to the cultural relics administration department of the State Council for the record by the cultural relics administration department of the people's government of the province, autonomous region, or directly under the Central Government. The "Four Haves" archives work of cultural relics protection units is the most critical measure for cultural relics protection units to effectively protect cultural relics and the most important foundation for cultural relics management according to law. The contents of the archives involve all aspects of cultural relics protection. The scientific, complete and detailed "Four Haves" archives can provide complete information for the cultural relics protection unit in the protection, utilization, management and publicity of cultural relics, and can also provide reliable evidence for the restoration of cultural relics accidentally damaged by the cultural relics protection unit. In terms of filing, the national cultural relics protection unit shall file according to the requirements of the National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit Record Archives Work Code and the National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit Record Archives Description. The provincial cultural relics protection unit shall refer to the requirements of the national cultural relics protection unit to file one by one.
