The newly revised Cultural Relics Protection Law of the People's Republic of China will officially come into effect on March 1, 2025. Over the past year, Sichuan, a major province in cultural relics, has integrated legal thinking into the entire process of cultural relics protection, archaeological research, and revitalization and utilization. Based on the cultural heritage of Bashu, it has focused on key tasks and solved development problems. It has achieved a series of significant results in the survey of cultural relics resources, systematic protection, revitalization and inheritance, and safety prevention and control, and has handed over the "Sichuan answer sheet" for cultural relics protection. The newly revised "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics" clearly requires strengthening the census and special investigation of cultural relics, comprehensively grasping the cultural relics resources and protection situation. In 2025, Sichuan will take the Fourth National Cultural Relics Census as a starting point to solidly promote the work of identifying cultural relics resources, and take the lead in completing the on-site review and system entry of 65231 immovable cultural relics in the Third National Cultural Relics Census. The synchronization rate of internal and external operations will continue to rank first in the country, laying a solid foundation for the basic data of cultural relics protection. At the same time, Sichuan conducted 13 special investigations on cultural relics resources, and registered 6889 newly discovered cultural relics; We have completed the statistics of the city and county protection lists, and published 2548 city protection lists and 8374 county protection lists, achieving a comprehensive grasp of cultural relics resources and laying a solid foundation for cultural relics protection. In accordance with the work requirements of "protection first, strengthening management, exploring value, effective utilization, and making cultural relics live", Sichuan has continuously deepened the reform of the system and mechanism of cultural heritage protection and management in the past year, consolidated the reform results of Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area world heritage protection and management, established the Emeishan World Cultural and Natural Heritage Research Institute, Qingcheng Mountain Dujiangyan Irrigation Project Cultural Heritage Protection and Utilization Research Center, and effectively carried out the protection and management of Sichuan Road, salt industry heritage and other "China World Cultural Heritage Preparatory List" projects. In view of the characteristic cultural relics resources of grotto temples, Sichuan has issued the Development Plan for the Construction of the Research System for the Protection of Sichuan Grotto Temples (2025-2030), built a "1+4" general branch style research system for the protection of grotto temples, continued to promote the overall protection and utilization of Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, Anyue Grottoes, Bazhong South Niche Cliff Sculptures, Rongxian Giant Buddha, and orderly implemented the systematic protection projects of key grottoes such as Niujiaozhai Grottoes, Zhongyan Temple Cliff Sculptures and Inscriptions. The implementation of the protection action for rural grotto temples and the promotion of the construction of Sichuan rural grotto cultural parks (scenic spots, micro landscapes) have reached 49 so far. Archaeological research is an important way to excavate the value of cultural relics, inherit the roots of civilization, and also an important means of cultural relic protection. Over the past year, Sichuan Province has carried out archaeological research and protection: leading the cultural relics departments of Shaanxi, Gansu, and Chongqing to launch the compilation of the "Overall Outline for the Protection of the Shu Road"; Continuously carry out special archaeological investigations on Paleolithic, Neolithic, Song and Yuan mountain city sites, kiln industry remains, mining and metallurgical sites, etc; Continuously promote the archaeological excavation work of important sites such as Mengxi River, Haneyi, and Gaojian Ancient City; Organized and cooperated with over 1000 archaeological investigations, explorations, and excavations for basic construction projects throughout the province, and unearthed more than 5000 cultural relics (sets). Making cultural relics come alive is one of the core requirements of cultural relic protection. Based on the advantages of cultural relics resources, Sichuan innovatively activates and utilizes models to promote the integration of cultural relics value into the overall economic and social development. In 2025, in terms of public cultural services, an additional 100 million yuan of provincial-level special funds will be allocated to implement the "Let Cultural Relics Live" special action. The province will launch 1100 temporary exhibitions and more than 17000 various activities, with a total of over 80 million visitors; In terms of cultural and tourism integration, the "Guidelines for the Construction of Cultural Relic Theme Tours in Sichuan Province (Trial)" have been issued, and multiple cultural relic theme tours have been released. Among them, four have been selected as national excellent cultural relic theme tours, ranking first in the country in terms of quantity, making cultural heritage an important link connecting cultural and tourism resources. As a major province of revolutionary cultural relics, Sichuan has taken multiple measures to strengthen the protection and utilization of revolutionary cultural relics and inherit the red gene. In 2025, the province will focus on the theme of commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Anti Japanese War, hold and guide a series of exhibitions, and strive for special funds to support the exhibition improvement of 22 revolutionary museums and memorial halls; Carry out the construction of the "One Museum, One Lesson" ideological and political education course, implement a batch of anti Japanese war site protection and repair projects, jointly complete the investigation of revolutionary cultural relics resources on the Chengdu Chongqing Railway, and discover more than 90 relics, allowing red culture to radiate new vitality in the new era. Safety is the bottom line of cultural relic protection, and the newly revised "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics" has put forward higher requirements for cultural relic safety work. Over the past year, Sichuan has tightened its main responsibility for cultural relics safety, issued a series of policy documents such as the "Sichuan Province Cultural Relics Safety and Administrative Law Enforcement Information Reporting Measures", completed safety assessments of 170 provincial-level and above cultural relics protection units, carried out satellite remote sensing monitoring and law enforcement and drone inspections of provincial-level and above cultural relics protection units, and continued to promote the construction of video surveillance facilities for grotto temples. The province's cultural relics safety protection capabilities have significantly improved. Over the past year, Sichuan has taken the implementation of the newly revised "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics" as an opportunity to solidly promote various related work, achieve phased results, and demonstrate the responsibility and commitment of a major province in cultural relics. Next, Sichuan will continue to thoroughly implement the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics", strengthen top-level design in the field of cultural relic protection, deepen the transformation of archaeological and research results, improve the level of cultural relic protection management, enhance the supply of high-quality culture in museums, strengthen the protection and inheritance of revolutionary cultural relics, tighten and compact the main responsibility for safety, and strengthen the cultivation of cultural relic talents and team building.
