At a time when the economy is constantly evolving and science and technology are changing rapidly, there is a cultural phenomenon that has attracted attention. Telling historical stories through cultural relics, such literary and artistic works travel through time and space, connect ancient and modern, and are loved by people; at the same time, the protection of historical relics and the inheritance of excellent traditional culture have increasingly become a social consensus. Historical relics condense the thickness of time, carry collective memories, and connect the past and the future.
General Secretary Xi Jinping profoundly pointed out: "Without China's five-thousand-year civilization, where is the road to our success today." "From actively coordinating and promoting the work related to the declaration of WuyiShan as a world cultural and natural heritage site, to achieving a breakthrough in Fujian's world heritage, to rescuing cultural heritage from the package of explosives, so that the Sanming Wanshouyan site of "Southern Zhoukoudian" was spared from being destroyed; from the treatment of Mulan Creek and the revitalization of the millennium agricultural irrigation project, to the active study and promotion of the "Maritime Silk Road: Quanzhou Historical Sites" to declare the world cultural heritage work... During his work in Fujian, Comrade Xi Jinping coordinated the protection of cultural heritage, economic development and urban construction, reflecting the dialectical wisdom of protection and development, and also reflecting the ideological consciousness of promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. Today, wandering in the bishui Danshan Mountain, wandering in the ancient alleys, drawing rich nourishment from the brilliant civilization of this hot land, people can feel the preciousness of this wisdom even more.
Cultural relics are the testimony of history, and the protection of cultural relics is the protection of history. Cultural relics precipitate historical memories in it, so that future generations can see things and think about people, and see through things and see history. Located in the center of Fuzhou, Sanfang Seven Alleys began in the Jin Dynasty, perfected in the Fifth Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, and reached the peak of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, walking out of important figures such as Lin Zexu, Yan Fu, Shen Baozhen, Lin Juemin, etc., and the ancient fang alleys with leisurely veins reflect "half of Modern Chinese History". The cultural relics conservators of the Forbidden City carefully restore bronzes, clocks, embroideries and other cultural relics, keep the old as old, and realize the "resurrection" of cultural relics, that is, to let the visible cultural relics show the invisible history. Cultural relics are not static beings, from which you can hear the drums and horns, see the magnificent waves, and feel the pulse of history and culture. Such a look back at excellent traditional culture can bring cultural identity, ideological enlightenment, spiritual inspiration, and guide us to take today's road.
In the study and education of party history, red cultural relics record the red stories of heroic sacrifice and tenacious struggle, and always let those who stand in front feel the shock of the spirit. The Jinggangshan Revolution Museum exhibits a small leather suitcase used by the martyr Chen Zhangziqing, and the 36 pushpins used to fix it seem to be the owner's accumulated scars after a hundred world wars, reflecting firm ideals and convictions; the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution displays the first radio station of the Red Army, and people seem to hear the "ticking, ticking" sound of the telegraph transmission in those years, feeling the military orders of the war years like mountains and unity; the Memorial Hall of the Battle of Crossing the River displays a cross-river pennant, witnessing the great pride of "a million male divisions crossing the river." It also conveys the victory code of "military and civilian family affinity"... From the red cultural relics, you can explore the flashing stories in the journey of a hundred years of struggle, you can truly touch what is sacrifice and what is perseverance, and you can truly feel the unchanged original intention of a century-old party.
History and culture are not only about the past, but also about the present and the future. Historical relics enable those abstract historical stories, ideological wisdom, and value concepts to be presented in front of people in a figurative way, helping people to touch, recall and understand excellent traditional culture. Connect history and the future, coordinate protection and development, let the cultural relics collected in museums, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books come alive, activate the vitality of China's excellent traditional culture with the spirit of the times, and inject spiritual strength into development with cultural cohesion.
Coming from five thousand years of civilization and drawing strength from cultural inheritance, we will surely create new glory.
