The State Administration of Cultural Heritage banned the sale of inscriptions on cultural relics rubbings, and some people were not calm

According to the Beijing Daily, on January 29, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Stone Carved Cultural Relics Rubbings", which made it clear that all localities should strictly restrict the sale of inscription stone carved cultural relics rubbings, strictly prohibit the use of inscription stone carved cultural relics rubbings as gifts, and severely crack down on illegal and illegal rubbings.

The circular pointed out that the administrative departments for cultural relics in various localities should strictly control the scope of rubbing stone carved cultural relics, strictly examine and approve management, and strictly prohibit illegal rubbing. Resolutely put an end to rubbing for commercial purposes; rubbing for cultural relics information archives, exhibitions and exhibitions that require rubbing, should be strictly managed in accordance with regulations, and the preservation status of stone carved cultural relics and their own characteristics are not suitable for rubbing, and rubbing must not be approved.

All localities should conduct a comprehensive inventory and investigation of the sale of rubbings by cultural relics museum units and their related commercial places. All inscriptions and stone carved cultural relics sold by museums and cultural relics protection and management institutions shall be removed from shelves, registered and archived, and strictly kept; those that have not yet been implemented or are being rubbed shall be immediately stopped and strictly examined. Where a re-engraved sub-version rubbing is sold, an explanation should be made and the purchaser informed.

In addition, all localities should register and file the existing inscription stone carving cultural relics rubbings of cultural relics museum units within their jurisdiction. It is forbidden for any unit or individual to use inscription stone carved cultural relics as a gift. The custodians of cultural relics shall not provide convenience for the illegal rubbing, and no institution or personnel shall provide the cultural relics rubbing mold and technical information to other units or individuals without authorization, and once discovered, they shall strictly enforce discipline and accountability in accordance with law.

The administrative departments for cultural relics in all localities, in conjunction with the public security organs, should include the act of stealing stone carved cultural relics from the monument into the special action to crack down on and prevent the crime of cultural relics, and severely crack down on and strictly prevent theft, theft, theft of stone carved cultural relics and other illegal and criminal acts.

Hammering on the inscription stone carved cultural relics for many years will inevitably cause damage to the cultural relics, and this damage is irreversible. This is well known to the hammer maker, and the buyer is naturally clear. In the long run, cultural relics will inevitably be damaged or even destroyed, but this may be a long time later, so buyers and sellers will tacitly agree, cool in the present, regardless of the future.

Especially for many stele forest museums, the sale of rubbings is an important source of income, and the gift of rubbings is a means of cultural exchange, relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on monuments to eat extensions, these things have been done too much in the past, and they are too accustomed. Even some museums, sitting on a large number of inscription resources, are still uneasy about waiting for customers to come to the door, and even use the live broadcast platform to sell rubbings live, which is a bit too ugly. To this end, book friends and netizens also have a lot of opinions.

Nowadays, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage has strictly controlled the sale of cultural relics rubbings and strictly prohibited the gift of cultural relics rubbings, which is undoubtedly good news from the perspective of cultural protection. But this directly moves the cheese of certain departments and individuals, which is bound to cause resistance and even rebound. If you can't sell it, will you sell it secretly? Cultural relics rubbings are not allowed to be sold, will they wipe the edge ball?

Therefore, the ban is issued and the action must keep up. And according to the usual practice, before the ban takes effect, there will inevitably be some people working overtime to "mass-produce" cultural relics rubbings, for the sake of profit, it is possible to do so every year.

Without buying and selling, there is no killing. It is necessary to protect cultural relics like protecting cherished animals, plug all operable loopholes, and prohibit any form of cultural relics rubbings, so that cultural relics protection can be truly implemented.
