There were many reasons for the destruction of the cultural relics. First of all, natural factors could not be ignored. Extreme weather conditions such as floods and earthquakes can cause serious damage to cultural relics. In terms of floods, for example, when many provinces in the south continue to have heavy rainfall, the water level of the river is relatively high, the upstream reservoir floods and drainages, and the river carries a large amount of silt and miscellaneous trees. The flood with large flow and high flow rate will block, impact and destroy the ancient bridge, soak and bury the ancient buildings for a long time, causing serious damage to cultural relics. For example, the Zhenhai Bridge in Tunxi, Huangshan, Anhui Province, was once damaged by floods. Earthquakes could also have serious effects. For example, the Lajia Ruins Museum was affected by the earthquake. Cracks appeared on the walls of the museum, and the wall skin fell off. The pottery, jade, and other cultural relics in the display cabinets were shaken down or even damaged, and the display cabinets shattered and fell. Moreover, ancient bridges, ancient city walls, ancient residences, and other cultural relics were old and had weak disaster prevention and resilience. Due to the erosion of the natural environment and human activities, their ability to resist natural geological disasters was weak. Many cultural relics were destroyed by disasters. Secondly, human factors were also an important reason. First, the phenomenon of theft and smuggling was serious. Driven by profit, cultural relics smugglers sold cultural relics. This could be seen from the stone statues in front of Yongtai Mausoleum in the Song Dynasty being stolen and sold abroad for soaring prices. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the sale of cultural relics was rampant. The explorer Sven Heding found cultural relics in the Yulong Kashi River basin and near Lop Nur and transported them away for sale. The second problem was poor management and maintenance. The National Palace Museum in Taiwan had such problems. There was a pile of debris in the working space of the warehouse, insufficient protective facilities, chaotic division of labor and action routes, and a small number of restoration personnel. The researchers also had improper handling of cultural relics (such as cutting the two sides of the painting). There were also management problems of employing people above the profession and not filling up the missing personnel. Finally, the construction activities in the process of social development may also affect the safety of cultural relics. For example, some local construction activities may bury rivers that have been cut off for many years, affecting the safety of ancient bridges and other cultural relics. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
