Xinhua News Agency reported that when General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang, Henan, in May 2025, he spoke about how, when he was working in Zhengding, Hebei, in his early years, he had promoted the protection of a heavily weathered Sui stele, and emphasized the need to protect, preserve, and pass on the treasures of Chinese culture. The article reviewed General Secretary Xi Jinping's visits to cultural heritage sites across many places since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, including the Hepu Han Dynasty Cultural Museum in Guangxi, the Yin Ruins in Henan, the new museum of the Sanxingdui Museum in Sichuan, and the Yunmeng County Museum in Hubei, reflecting the importance attached to the protection of the heritage of Chinese civilization. The report also noted that the Longmen Grottoes Research Institute has promoted digital preservation through methods such as 3D scanning, preventive conservation, and cultural relic restoration, while also attracting large numbers of visitors. The article argues that the protection of cultural heritage, talent cultivation, and public communication need to be advanced continuously in order to ensure the better continuity of the cultural lineage of the Chinese nation.
