The changes in Shixia Village are a vivid microcosm of the villagers strengthening the protection and utilization of cultural heritage in the direction guided by the general secretary.
The Great Wall is a representative symbol of the Chinese nation and an important symbol of Chinese civilization, embodying the Chinese nation's spirit of unremitting self-improvement and patriotic feelings of unity, perseverance and perseverance. On the new journey, we must fully realize the important role of the Great Wall protection in demonstrating the splendid civilization of the Chinese nation, highlighting the spirit of the times, and gathering China's strength, and give full play to the important role played by the Great Wall in promoting the development of the local cultural and tourism industry and promoting the people's income and prosperity, so as to pass on the precious wealth left by our ancestors from generation to generation.
We must keep in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's entrustment and protect the Great Wall like a homeland. It is necessary to persist in putting protection in the first place, adhere to the principle of minimum intervention, earnestly improve policies and measures, increase the intensity of work, and strictly protect in accordance with the law in an attitude of being responsible to history and the people. It is necessary to further implement the rigid requirements of the responsibility for the protection of the Great Wall, and establish and improve the accountability mechanism for illegal cases and safety accidents on the Great Wall. It is necessary to pay attention to rational utilization, so that the results of the protection of the Great Wall can benefit more people. It is necessary to carry forward the culture of the Great Wall, tell the story of the Great Wall well, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.
The Great Wall is widely distributed in 15 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities on the mainland, and has been built and existed for more than 2,000 years. All localities along the route should take measures according to local conditions, systematically sort out the age, type, distribution characteristics, and construction methods of the Great Wall resources in their own areas, and make concerted efforts to protect the land and fulfill their responsibilities to form a joint force for the protection of the Great Wall.
It is our common responsibility to protect and inherit the historical and cultural heritage of the Great Wall. All regions and departments should thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important expositions and instructions on strengthening the protection and inheritance of historical and cultural heritage, take Xi Jinping Cultural Thought as the guide, strengthen cultural self-confidence, undertake new cultural missions, carefully care for the Great Wall, excavate and interpret the history and culture of the Great Wall, inherit the spirit of the Great Wall from generation to generation, and gather strong struggle forces for building a socialist cultural power and promoting Chinese-style modernization.
