The preservation and repair of cultural relics has always been a major project, and china has also paid attention to the protection of cultural relics after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the state has sent inspection teams throughout the country to search for lost cultural relics, and those who have been displaced abroad have also tried to auction them back. After the cultural relics are found, many subsequent matters are also very cumbersome, such as different types of cultural relics to be stored in different places, cross-border cultural relics should be treated carefully, and most of the cultural relics are porcelain jade and other things that are easy to be damaged, which requires the staff to be careful and careful. If the cultural relics that have been painstakingly retrieved are damaged because of the carelessness of subsequent people, it is really regrettable.
Of course, cultural relics of different values receive different degrees of attention, and the state can only focus on protecting some precious cultural relics, and the rest can only be treated as ordinary collections. Take the Forbidden City, there are about 1.8 million cultural relics in the collection, so many cultural relics, if you want to place them all separately, each piece is divided into three or four commissioners to manage, it is really impossible. Among so many cultural relics, only 1,106 are closely concerned by the state, and they are the so-called first-class cultural relics.
In order to better manage and protect cultural relics, China has long introduced the classification standards for cultural relics. Cultural relics are divided into several categories according to their age and value, and the largest number of them is ordinary cultural relics, which can only be displayed as general collections. The most precious is the first-class A, and the cultural relics above the first level must be taken out separately for collection and protection, and the loss of one piece is a great loss for the country. Many national treasure-level cultural relics are orphans, only one remains in the world, once damaged, it is equivalent to extinction, so their priority is the highest, but also the country's most important.
However, no matter how careful the accident will still occur, there have been many incidents of cultural relics being damaged in China, and such incidents are called cultural relics accidents. Most of the cultural relics accidents occur on the way of transportation, China as a cultural relics country, has a unique culture in the world, so many countries will come to China to borrow cultural relics to exhibit, in the long-distance transportation of Chinese may suffer damage.
After the cultural relics are handed over to the hands of other countries, the protection work must be completed by them, but due to the lack of in-depth understanding of cultural relics, their measures in this regard may not be so in place. For example, when Singapore was exhibiting Chinese cultural relics, the local staff of the exhibition hall accidentally threw the ancient sword of yue wang on the ground, causing irreparable damage.
Even if the cultural relics are placed in the domestic exhibition hall, it is not necessarily safe, the museum in Hunan has been patronized by thieves, thirty-eight cultural relics have been stolen, and during this period, three of its precious first-class cultural relics have been burned, which is really heart-wrenching. However, the most famous cultural relics accident in China is not this one, but occurred in the Forbidden City.
The cultural relics protection of the Forbidden City should represent the highest level that China can reach, so the most precious cultural relics placed here are the most precious cultural relics from all over the country, one of which is a first-class cultural relics produced in the Song Dynasty. This plate was made by the famous GeJiao, one of the top five cellars of the Song Dynasty, and the porcelain created is all treasures. This plate was rated as a First Class artifact for its unique shape and perfect craftsmanship. The protection of porcelain is the most difficult, and in 2011, a staff member accidentally broke the plate, after which experts failed to restore the plate.
After the incident, the museum did not report the news at the first time, until twenty-six days later, some netizens broke the news on the Internet, and huge public opinion forced the relevant responsible person to come out and apologize. They admitted that this first-class cultural relic was damaged and could not be restored, which was unacceptable to the majority of netizens, but the matter has happened, and they only hope that the staff can learn a lesson and not let such a thing happen again.
