Protecting Cultural Relics
Cultural relics were witnesses of history and important carriers of cultural inheritance. They carried the memories, wisdom, and skills of the past. They were the treasures of human civilization. Protecting cultural relics is our bounden duty. At the legal level, it was clearly stipulated that the discovery of cultural relics must be handed over, or they would face punishment. This regulation was aimed at ensuring that cultural relics could be properly managed and protected. From the perspective of value, the value of cultural relics was not only reflected in economic value, but more importantly, the profound historical significance and cultural value behind them. For example, the cultural relics of the Qing Dynasty, such as copper pots and coins, could open a door for us to understand the social, economic, cultural and many other aspects of the time. On a personal level, we should strengthen our awareness of protecting cultural relics, actively learn about cultural relics protection, and abandon the idea of hiding cultural relics. At the societal level, supervision needed to be strengthened to prevent those who hid cultural relics from taking advantage of it. At the same time, the relevant government departments were also actively taking action. The cultural relics management departments at all levels had their own duties, from the State Administration of Cultural Relics to the Provincial Administration of Cultural Relics, and then to the cultural relics administrative departments of the people's governments of prefectures, cities, counties (cities), and districts. They were all in charge of the cultural relics protection work in the corresponding areas. We should uphold the principle of "protection first, rescue first, rational use, inheritance and development" and insist on protecting the authenticity of cultural relics. Under the premise of effective protection, cultural relics could be used reasonably. For example, cultural relics could be used as tourism resources. While attracting tourists to obtain economic benefits, they could also publicize and educate the people through tourism activities, promote traditional culture, and realize the mutual promotion of cultural relics protection and tourism development. Moreover, it was necessary to focus on cultivating professional talents to provide a solid human guarantee for the protection and management of cultural relics. It was also necessary to use various media to create a good atmosphere for the protection of cultural relics in society. In short, the protection of cultural relics was beneficial to the present and the future. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

From the perspective of the principle of cultural relics protection, the repair, maintenance and relocation of immovable cultural relics should abide by the principle of not changing the original state of the cultural relics and the principle of minimum intervention in order to preserve the historical information and historical value of the cultural relics to the greatest extent. At the same time, cultural relics protection units of different levels had corresponding protection measures, such as setting protection areas and building control zones, etc., to ensure the coordination of the surrounding environment of cultural relics.

Xizang Buddhist relics
Xizang had many Buddhist relics. From the perspective of historical development, the development of the art of Buddha statues was influenced by many styles. In the early days, there were traces of the introduction of different styles of Buddha statues from India. For example, in the 7th century AD, there was the Shakyamuni Buddha made in the northwestern state of Ximakal in India, which was the initial stage of Xizang Buddha statue art. In the 8th to 9th century AD, there was an early Polo style (Pala style) statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in northeastern India. This style was inherited from the art of Gupta, which originated from the ancient art of Mathura statue in the first century. A three-headed, twenty-two-armed Vajra statue in the 10th century of China's western Tibetan style (Pulan-Guge Dynasty). The statues in the Caucasus region were made of bronze and brass. Most of the Xizang artifacts were brass statues. Around 1001 AD, the Guge Dynasty invited the Caucasus craftsmen to enter the western part of Tibet to imitate the statues of the Caucasus style, such as the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the 10th-11th century. The Jokhang Temple had collected many golden and bronze Buddha statues, including Tara, Maitreya Bodhisattva, Shakyamuni Buddha, Lotus Hand Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and the five statues of the Browed Eyebrow Buddha Mother (10th-11th century AD), Lotus Hand Avalokitesvara statues of different ages (11th and 12th century AD), and the six-armed Avalokitesvara statue of the 11th century AD. In addition, there was a gold-plated bronze statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the exhibition hall of the Xizang Museum. It was probably brought to Xizang by the Nepal princess. In terms of the classification of Buddha statues, the Qing Dynasty called the Buddha statues made in India and other foreign countries as the Brahma Copper Old Lima, and the Buddha statues made in Xizang after the 15th century were called the Fan Copper Old Lima. There were two kinds of Maitreya in Tibetan Buddha statues, one was in a Buddhist outfit, and the other was in a Bodhisattva outfit. At the same time, there were also statues of Buddha with unique styles, such as gold-plated bronze statues inlaid with precious stones, that came from the Wuqunba style in the Ming Dynasty. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
