The widow had something to say
In 2006, the Three Eagles of Huizhou were included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.
On January 2, 2008, the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China officially approved the establishment of the Huizhou Cultural and Ecological Protection Pilot Zone, and the three eagles with historical, cultural and scientific value will be fully and effectively protected as cultural heritage.
As a cultural heritage, the Three Eagles of Huizhou will have unpredictable development prospects if they are well protected and utilized. The protection of the Three Eagles of Huizhou is not only the overall protection of Huizhou architecture, but also the protection of the entire history and culture of Huizhou, which can make people re-recognize the importance of folk art and craftsmen, which is the root of cultural self-confidence.
The protection and inheritance of the three eagles of Huizhou is being handed over to the hands of a new generation, and it is the responsibility of each of us to protect, utilize and inherit the skills of the three eagles of Huizhou and publicize the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
The protection of the Three Eagles of Huizhou takes place every day
For each of us
No destruction is the greatest protection!
