The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council Issued the "15th Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Inheritance of Cultural Heritage"

The General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council recently issued the "15th FiveYear Plan for the Protection and Inheritance of Cultural Heritage," and requested that all regions and departments implement it conscientiously in light of actual conditions. The plan makes a systematic deployment around the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, with the goal of basically forming a broad pattern of cultural heritage protection by 2030, and further improving the regulatory system, laws and regulations, and talent development. The plan proposes strengthening overall protection and coordinated protection in areas such as cultural relics, intangible cultural heritage, historical and cultural cities, towns and villages, archaeological sites, and national cultural parks, and advancing census surveys, classified protection, museum management, living inheritance, and safety governance. At the same time, it emphasizes implementing the requirement of prior cultural relics protection in urban and rural construction, and enhancing archaeological research, technological support, and digital management. In addition, the plan also clearly calls for strengthening international exchanges and cooperation, cooperation on the recovery and return of lost cultural relics, as well as education, publicity, supervision, and funding guarantees, so as to promote the alignment of cultural heritage protection and inheritance with the continuation and development of Chinese civilization.
