Due to natural and man-made disasters and the baptism of history, the cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty that remained in China were limited, while some foreign regions had completely preserved the cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty. For example, the Todai Temple in Nara Prefecture, Japan, had the most complete and valuable collection of Tang Dynasty art, which was the same as the Tang Dynasty more than 1,000 years ago. The display of Shokuin was based on the relics of Emperor Shengmu. The sources of the relics included Chinese exquisite items that were introduced into Japan during the Tang Dynasty, Western Region items that were introduced into Japan through China, and items that were made or created by Japan during the Nara period. More than half of them came from China, North Korea, and other countries, and the farthest came from Persia. In addition, because Japan had sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty for exchanges, many precious cultural relics of the Tang Dynasty were well preserved. The star map of Dunhuang, which represented the astronomical achievements of the Tang Dynasty, was lost to England and is now stored in the British Library. Read more exciting novels for free
A series of principles and measures must be followed to preserve the cultural relic buildings as a whole. For example, the principle of not changing the original state, the principle of authenticity, the principle of integrity, the principle of minimum intervention, and the principle of using appropriate protection techniques during the repair process. For example, when the three ancient buildings in Chaoyang, Beijing were repaired, they insisted on raw materials, original craftsmanship, original methods and original form system, so as to preserve the historical information of the ancient buildings to the greatest extent, so as to maintain the old as before; When repairing Zhang Yi Ancestral Hall, they dismantled and repaired it from top to bottom according to the standard process and strict standards, and retained the usable tiles; When repairing Dongba Niangniang Temple, the precious golden dragon spiral painting on the beam purlin was wrapped in advance, and only dust removal was done; The renovation project of the Wang Mansion in Suzhou's Niu Jia Lane followed the requirement of "not changing the original state of the cultural relics" and carefully preserved and repaired the "side paste" wooden frame of the West Mountain wall. At the same time, during the development and utilization of cultural relics buildings, excessive development in the name of protection should not be carried out to avoid irreversible damage to their structure and original appearance. For example, after the commercial operation of Tianshui Ancient City in Gansu Province, a large number of ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties were transformed into Japanese restaurants and other situations that destroyed the original structure should not happen. Moreover, through reasonable system construction, such as establishing a sound review system, strengthening communication and coordination, and establishing an information sharing platform, it was necessary to ensure that the cultural relics buildings were preserved as a whole and rejuvenated under the premise of safety and authenticity. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Cultural relics protection was a very important and far-reaching work. Its benefits were mainly reflected in the following aspects: ** 1. Cultural inheritance ** 1. ** Inheriting cultural roots ** - Cultural relics were the material carriers of history and culture. Whether it was movable cultural relics such as works of art, documents, etc., or immovable cultural relics such as ancient buildings and ancient tombs, they all contained cultural information of a specific period. For example, the architectural style and layout of ancient buildings reflected the architectural culture and aesthetic concepts of the time, while ancient documents recorded the thoughts, literature, technology, and many other cultural contents of the time. Through the protection of cultural relics, these cultural elements could be passed on, so that future generations could understand the cultural roots of their own people and regions. 2. ** Carry forward the national spirit ** - Many cultural relics are closely related to the development of the nation. Like revolutionary cultural relics, they have witnessed the history of national struggle and resistance. Protecting these cultural relics helps to carry forward the spirit of the revolutionary ancestors and encourage the contemporary and future generations to inherit the national spirit of perseverance and courage. For example, the old revolutionary sites and the former residences of martyrs in various places carried heroic deeds and were important materials for patriotic education and national spirit education. ** 2. Social development ** 1. ** Enhancing national self-esteem and pride ** - Rich and unique cultural relics were the precious wealth of a nation and country. When people saw ancient and exquisite cultural relics, they would feel proud of their own culture. For example, China's bronzes, porcelain, and other exquisite cultural relics enjoyed a high reputation in the world. The protection and display of these cultural relics could enhance the national self-esteem and cultural status in the world. 2. ** Promotion of tourism development ** - Cultural relics had a unique appeal and could become a tourist resource. Famous cultural relics such as the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang attracted a large number of domestic and foreign tourists. The protection and rational use of cultural relics could extend the cultural tourism industry chain and drive the local economic development, such as the prosperity of restaurants, accommodation, transportation and other related industries. ** 3. Scientific research ** 1. ** Historical research basis provided ** - Cultural relics provided first-hand research materials for historians and archaeologists. Through the study of the material, production process, and unearthed environment of cultural relics, one could understand the level of science and technology, social structure, and production methods of ancient times. For example, through the study of ancient bronzes, one could understand the smelting technology and social hierarchy at that time. 2. ** Rich multi-disciplinary research materials ** - Cultural relics protection involved many disciplines, such as materials science, chemistry, physics, etc. In the process of cultural relics protection, the knowledge and techniques of these disciplines needed to be applied, and at the same time, they provided special research objects for these disciplines. For example, the selection and processing of materials in the restoration of cultural relics required knowledge of materials science, and this process could also promote the research and development of materials science in the field of cultural relics protection. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
There were some examples of packaging cultural relics in the Tang Dynasty for reference. For example, the secret colored porcelain unearthed from the underground palace of the Fa Men Temple. When the Tang Dynasty people packed the secret colored porcelain, they first found a very thin paper with a beautiful woman's pattern to wrap the secret colored porcelain piece by piece, then stacked it up and placed it in a wooden box. In addition, in terms of the protection and transportation of cultural relics, the modern concept of multi-layer protection for cultural relics packaging, although it was not clear that it was the packaging method of the Tang Dynasty, it could also reflect the concept of cultural relics packaging focusing on protection. For example, each cultural relic packaging had at least four layers: paper, cotton, straw, wooden boxes, paintings and other paper cultural relics should be wrapped in oil paper to prevent rain from soaking. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Qianling Tomb was the joint tomb of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. It preserved a large number of cultural relics reflecting the cultural exchanges between China and the West in the Tang Dynasty. The first was the stone inscriptions of Qianling Mausoleum. There were large stone carvings distributed in Qianling Cemetery. These stone carvings had obvious Central Asian artistic features in their shapes, which were historical witnesses of the friendly exchanges between the Chinese nation and the people of Central Asian countries. For example, the winged horse on the west side of Sima Road in Qianling was strong and straight, showing the carving style of Gandhara (located in northwest India) with its overlapping edges. The winged horse on the east side of Sima Road in Qianling was round and delicate, which was the concrete embodiment of the stone carving style of Ajanta (Buddhist grottoes built during the Peacock Dynasty in India in the century B.C.). There was also a pair of high embossed ostriches on the third row from south to north on both sides of Sima Dao. Ostriches originally appeared in the deserts of West Asia and were carved as a symbol of foreign countries. These cultural relics of Qianling show that the culture of the Tang Dynasty was deeply influenced by the culture of Central Asia, reflecting the frequent cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries at that time. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The Gaoming Dragon Kiln of the Tang Dynasty was discovered in 1957. In 1986 and 1987, the No. 1 and No. 2 kilns were excavated respectively, and more than 1,000 pieces of Tang Dynasty pottery were unearthed. Due to the serious damage to the No. 1 kiln, it was backfilled for protection. In 1988, an exhibition hall was built on top of the No. 2 kiln. This was a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit. Judging from the unearthed pottery and photos displayed in the exhibition hall, the level of firing was limited at that time. For example, the most unearthed pottery bowls were of different sizes, irregular shapes, and random glaze colors. Most of the pottery unearthed was ordinary pottery bowls, but some larger and better pottery were sent to the Guangdong Province Museum for collection. On December 11th, 2013, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a 78.8-meter-long dragon kiln in the site. This was the longest preserved remains of the Tang Dynasty dragon kiln discovered so far. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
The creativity of China cultural relics was mainly reflected in the combination of cultural relics and various modern elements for innovative development. For example, the Shaanxi China Cultural Relics Research Institute, which relied on Shaanxi's rich cultural relics resources, mainly carried out creative design of related products and cultural relics replication research. The China Cultural Relics Exchange Center carried out exchanges with Tianshui City Center. Tianshui City Center actively explored the transformation of rich historical and cultural resources into creative products with unique charm and market value. The China Cultural Relics Exchange Center inspected and guided the construction of its creative studio and the development and utilization of creative products, aiming to create high-quality creative works by digging deep into the content and paying attention to hot spots.

There were a large number of cultural relics in China, and their types were complicated. It was difficult to make a general estimate of their value. Different cultural relics varied greatly due to factors such as age, rarity, preservation, and artistic value. For example, the Xijia plate, which was a national treasure of China Zhou Dynasty, was valued by experts at 210 million yuan, and the mahjong used by Puyi was valued by experts at 200 million yuan. However, this was only the valuation of a very small number of cultural relics. There were also a large number of cultural relics, from ordinary ancient porcelain, paintings, to precious bronze ware, jade ware, etc., whose value ranged from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of millions of yuan. Moreover, the value of a cultural relic was not only determined by money, but also by its history, culture, art, science, and many other aspects. These values together constituted the significance of a cultural relic. In addition, a large number of China cultural relics were lost overseas, and it was difficult to accurately calculate the value of cultural relics in foreign museum. These cultural relics ranged from bronze ritual vessels in the Pre-Qin period to famous paintings and various rare treasures in the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. They were all extremely valuable, but due to the large number and complicated situation, it was impossible to give an accurate overall valuation. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
