“Conscientiously Protect Non-Renewable Cultural Heritage”

Cultural heritage is a treasure bestowed upon humanity by history and a gem of human civilization. During his work in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping placed great emphasis on the protection of cultural heritage. Addressing major issues such as why cultural heritage should be protected, what objects should be protected, who should undertake the task of protection, and how to better advance protection work, he conducted forward-looking and systematic practical exploration at the provincial level. He also put forward a series of new viewpoints, new theses, and new measures concerning constructing a cultural heritage protection system, protecting intangible cultural heritage, protecting, developing, and utilizing red resources, establishing a correct outlook on political performance regarding cultural heritage protection, mobilizing social forces to participate in cultural heritage protection, coordinating the advancement of cultural heritage protection with economic and social development, and actively promoting the application for World Heritage status. He personally planned and implemented cultural protection projects, providing ideological guidance and action guidelines for cultural heritage protection work in Zhejiang, and also supplying rich theoretical and practical material for the systematic advancement of cultural heritage protection work after the 18th National Congress of the CPC.

文化遗产是历史留给人类的财富，是人类文明的瑰宝。习近平总书记在浙江工作期间，高度重视文化遗产保护，围绕文化遗产为什么要保护、保护对象有哪些、由谁来承担保护任务、怎样更好推进保护工作等重大课题，在省域层面进行了富有前瞻性、系统性的实践探索，并就构建文化遗产保护体系、保护非物质文化遗产、保护开发利用红色资源、树立正确的文化遗产保护政绩观、发动社会力量参与文化遗产保护、统筹推进文化遗产保护和经济社会发展、积极推进世界文化遗产申报等，提出了一系列新观点、新论断、新举措，亲自谋划实施文化保护工程，为浙江文化遗产保护工作提供了思想指引和行动遵循，也为党的十八大以后系统性推进文化遗产保护工作提供了丰富的理论和实践素材。

I. Centering on protecting cultural heritage as a precious asset, clearly put forward “giving priority to rescue and protection, and conscientiously protecting non-renewable cultural heritage”

一、围绕保护好作为宝贵财富的文化遗产，鲜明提出“抢救为主、保护第一，切实保护好不可再生的文化遗产”

At the beginning of the 21st century, the task of cultural heritage protection in Zhejiang was arduous. The phenomenon of “emphasizing utilization while neglecting protection” was still widespread, and the issue of cultural relic safety was relatively prominent. Comrade Xi Jinping deeply understood the important value of cultural heritage, pointing out that “cultural heritage is the crystallization of a nation’s wisdom and the testimony of a nation’s culture, containing a nation’s unique spiritual values, ways of thinking, creativity, vitality, and imagination. A nation or country without cultural heritage can hardly be said to be a truly powerful nation or country” and “the long-standing, profound, and richly meaningful cultural tradition of Zhejiang is a precious treasure bestowed upon us by history, and also a rich resource and inexhaustible driving force for us to open up the future.” He also emphasized, “in building a culturally strong province, we will regard the rich historical and cultural heritage and the colorful national folk art as a precious resource.” Comrade Xi Jinping personally led and deployed a series of key tasks and major projects for cultural heritage protection in Zhejiang. For example, regarding the protection of the West Lake cultural landscape. In 2002, Comrade Xi Jinping made the West Lake his first stop when inspecting Hangzhou. In September 2003, when inspecting the comprehensive protection project of Hangzhou’s West Lake, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out, “around the West Lake, there is history everywhere and culture at every step” and “we must protect, utilize, pass down, and carry forward these historical and cultural relics.” For another example, regarding the protection of the Liangzhu Ancient City site, Comrade Xi Jinping visited Liangzhu twice for research. In July 2003, during his research at Liangzhu, he pointed out, “the Liangzhu site is a sacred place that substantiates the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, and is a rare and precious treasure. We must protect it well.” He also visited the Kuahuqiao site twice for research. In April 2006, during his second visit to the Kuahuqiao site, he pointed out the need to deeply study the Kuahuqiao culture and carry it forward. In November 2006, the Zhejiang Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics published in its *Zhejiang Cultural Relics Bulletin* new archaeological discoveries concerning the Shangshan site in Pujiang County, dating back 10,000 to 9,000 years. Comrade Xi Jinping made an important instruction on this: “Strengthen the research and promotion of the Shangshan culture.” These important expositions and practical explorations by Comrade Xi Jinping fully reflected a high degree of cultural consciousness, unequivocally answered the principled questions of cultural heritage protection, and clarified the fundamental direction of cultural heritage protection work.

21世纪初，浙江文化遗产保护任务艰巨，“重利用、轻保护”的现象仍然普遍，文物安全问题比较突出。习近平同志深刻认识文化遗产的重要价值，指出“文化遗产是民族智慧的结晶，是民族文化的见证，其中蕴含着一个民族特有的精神价值、思维方式和创造力、生命力、想象力。一个没有文化遗产的民族和国家，很难说是有真正实力的民族和国家”“悠久深厚、意韵丰富的浙江文化传统，是历史赐予我们的宝贵财富，也是我们开拓未来的丰富资源和不竭动力”。他还强调，“在建设文化大省中，我们将把丰富的历史文化遗产和绚丽多彩的民族民间艺术作为一种宝贵资源”。习近平同志亲自领导部署了浙江文化遗产保护的系列重点工作和重大工程。比如，对于西湖文化景观的保护。2002年，习近平同志将西湖作为考察杭州的第一站。2003年9月，习近平同志在考察杭州西湖综合保护工程时指出，“西湖的周围，处处有历史，步步有文化”“对这些历史文化遗存，我们一定要保护好，利用好，传承下去，发扬光大”。又如，对于良渚古城遗址的保护，习近平同志曾两次到良渚调研。2003年7月，他在良渚调研时指出，“良渚遗址是实证中华5000年文明史的圣地，是不可多得的宝贵财富，我们必须把它保护好”。他还曾两次到跨湖桥遗址调研。2006年4月，他第二次来到跨湖桥遗址考察，指出深入研究跨湖桥文化，把跨湖桥文化发扬光大。2006年11月，浙江省文物局《浙江文物要情》公布了关于距今10000～9000年的浦江县上山遗址的考古新发现，习近平同志对此作出重要批示：“要加强对上山文化的研究和宣传。”习近平同志的这些重要论述与实践探索，充分体现了高度的文化自觉，旗帜鲜明地回答了文化遗产保护的原则问题，明确了文化遗产保护工作的根本方向。

II. Centering on systematically protecting various types of cultural heritage resources, clearly put forward “constructing a relatively complete protection system for immovable cultural relics, historical and cultural cities, and historical and cultural districts and villages, and basically establishing a museum network with a rational layout and rich Zhejiang regional characteristics”

二、围绕系统保护好各类文化遗产资源，鲜明提出“构建比较完备的不可移动文物与历史文化名城和历史文化街区、村镇保护体系，基本建立布局合理、富有浙江地域特色的博物馆网络”

Every immovable cultural relic, every historical and cultural city, and every historical and cultural district and village is a witness to history, carrying the memory of a region. During his work in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping demanded the systematic protection of various types of cultural heritage, putting forward requirements such as “urgently rescue, scientifically protect, rationally develop, and effectively utilize Zhejiang’s historical and cultural heritage; actively carry out work on demonstration sites for cultural relic protection and utilization, protection of historical and cultural cities, and application for World Heritage status; and strive to construct a relatively complete protection system for immovable cultural relics, historical and cultural cities, districts, and villages.” In his work practice, Comrade Xi Jinping paid attention not only to the protection, restoration, and display of cultural relics but also to the collation and publication of documentary materials. For example, he presided over and promoted the implementation of the Zhejiang Cultural Research Project, personally serving as the director of its steering committee, setting directions, proposing topics, making demands, and writing the general preface. For another example, he provided full support and constant attention to the “Compendium of Chinese Painting and Calligraphy through the Ages,” personally guiding and vigorously promoting every key point and every period of tackling difficulties in the project. On June 10, 2006, China’s first “Cultural Heritage Day,” Comrade Xi Jinping inspected the restoration project of the Wengel Pavilion in Hangzhou, and on September 27 of that year, he made a specific instruction on the photocopying and publication plan of the Wengel Pavilion edition of the *Complete Library of the Four Treasuries*: “The Wengel Pavilion edition of the *Complete Library of the Four Treasuries* is profound, extensive, and rich in content. Photocopying and publishing it is a major event in cultural construction and is of great significance to the cultural research project being carried out in our province.” After ten years of effort, the photocopying and publication of the Wengel Pavilion edition of the *Complete Library of the Four Treasuries*, a work embodying the painstaking efforts of several generations of Zhejiang scholars, was completed, totaling over 1,500 volumes. These important expositions and practical explorations by Comrade Xi Jinping, using systematic thinking, clarified the main objects of cultural heritage protection work, enhanced the comprehensiveness and integrity of cultural heritage protection work, enabled the effective protection of Zhejiang’s rich and diverse cultural heritage, and promoted the inheritance and development of Zhejiang’s humanistic spirit and historical culture.

每一处不可移动文物、每一座历史文化名城、每一个历史文化街区和村镇都是历史的见证，承载着地域的记忆。习近平总书记在浙江工作期间，就要求系统保护各类文化遗产，提出“抓紧抢救、科学保护、合理开发和有效利用浙江的历史文化遗产，积极做好文物保护利用示范、历史文化名城保护、世界文化遗产申报等工作，着力构建比较完备的不可移动文物和历史文化名城、街区、村镇保护体系”等要求。在工作实践中，习近平同志既注重文物保护修缮展示，又重视文献资料整理出版。比如，他主持并推动实施浙江文化研究工程，亲自担任浙江文化研究工程指导委员会主任，定方向、出题目、提要求、作总序。比如，对“中国历代绘画大系”全程支持、念兹在兹，项目的每一个关键点、每一段攻坚期，都亲自引领、倾力推动。2006年6月10日是我国第一个“文化遗产日”，习近平同志调研杭州文澜阁修缮工程，并于当年9月27日对文澜阁本的《四库全书》影印出版计划作出专门批示：“文澜阁本的《四库全书》博大精深，内容丰富。将其影印出版，这是文化建设的一件大事，对我省开展的文化研究工程具有重要意义。”经过10年努力，汇聚浙江数代学人心血的文澜阁本的《四库全书》影印出版完成，全书达1500多册。习近平同志的这些重要论述与实践探索，以系统思维明晰了文化遗产保护工作的主要对象，增强了做好文化遗产保护工作的全面性和整体性，使得浙江丰富多样的文化遗产得到了有效保护，促进了浙江人文精神和历史文化的传承与发展。

III. Centering on the protection of intangible cultural heritage, clearly put forward “protecting both tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage”

三、围绕非物质文化遗产保护，鲜明提出“既要保护物质文化遗产，也要保护非物质文化遗产”

Intangible cultural heritage is passed down through generations. As an important component of fine traditional Chinese culture, it embodies the deepest spiritual pursuits of the Chinese nation. During his work in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping attached great importance to the protection of intangible cultural heritage, emphasizing that “we must protect both tangible cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage,” and must not “cause a rupture in the cultural lineage.” From May to June 2005, Comrade Xi Jinping made six consecutive instructions on intangible cultural heritage protection, covering the inheritance and protection of Zhejiang folk crafts, the rescue of the ancient village of Gaodengshan in Pujiang County, the folk art protection project, and the rescue and revitalization of the Yongjia Kunqu Opera Troupe. Following Comrade Xi Jinping’s directives, from 2002 to 2005, the Zhejiang provincial finance allocated special funds annually for the discovery and protection of outstanding national folk art resources, the cultivation of national folk art talents, and supporting the development of national folk art resource protection activities in economically underdeveloped areas. Yue Opera is a representative local opera genre in Zhejiang and was selected for the first batch of the national intangible cultural heritage list. With Comrade Xi Jinping’s support, the China Yue Opera Festival was permanently established in Zhejiang, playing an important role in improving the construction level of Yue Opera facilities, flourishing Yue Opera stage art, and cultivating Yue Opera talents. Furthermore, Comrade Xi Jinping also gave full support to the protection and inheritance work of other local opera genres. The culture of Yu the Great has a long history and profound influence in Zhejiang. With Comrade Xi Jinping’s care and support, the Shaoxing

非物质文化遗产世代相传，作为中华优秀传统文化的重要组成部分，积淀着中华民族最深沉的精神追求。习近平总书记在浙江工作期间高度重视非物质文化遗产的保护，强调“既要保护物质文化遗产，也要保护非物质文化遗产”，不能“造成文脉的断裂”。2005年5月至6月，习近平同志对非物质文化遗产保护连续作出6次批示，涉及浙江民间工艺传承保护、浦江县高登山古村落抢救、民间艺术保护工程、抢救振兴永嘉昆剧团等。根据习近平同志的指示，从2002年到2005年，浙江省财政每年安排专项资金，用于优秀民族民间艺术资源的发掘、保护和民族民间艺术人才的培养，扶持经济欠发达地区民族民间艺术资源保护活动的开展。越剧是浙江具有代表性的地方剧种，入选首批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。在习近平同志的支持下，中国越剧艺术节永久落户浙江，在提升越剧设施建设水平、繁荣越剧舞台艺术、培养越剧人才方面发挥了重要作用。此外，习近平同志对其他地方剧种的保护传承工作也倾力支持。大禹文化在浙江源远流长，影响深远。在习近平同志的关心和支持下，绍兴大禹祭典2006年成功入选首批国家级非物质文化遗产名录，公祭大禹成为重要祭祀活动。习近平同志的这些重要论述与实践探索，揭示了非物质文化遗产的重要价值功用，指明了非物质文化遗产保护的方向和路径，指引浙江非物质文化遗产保护工作不断取得新进展新成效。

Fourth, centering on safeguarding the red roots, it is clearly proposed that "protecting, developing, and utilizing these red resources, and developing red tourism, have multiple political, cultural, and economic significances."

四、围绕守护红色根脉，鲜明提出“保护、开发、利用这些红色资源，发展红色旅游，具有政治、文化、经济等多重意义”

Zhejiang is the place where the red boat of the Chinese Revolution set sail; revolutionary sites are spread across the entire province, and red tourism resources are rich in variety. During his work in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping deeply understood the important value of revolutionary

浙江是中国革命红船起航地，革命遗迹遍布全省，红色旅游资源种类丰富。习近平总书记在浙江工作期间，深刻认识革命文物的重要价值，强调守护红色根脉，指出“历史文化、革命文化与现代文化的交相辉映，使浙江文化闪耀出更为夺目的光彩。这种文化传统，构成代代相传的文化基因，千百年来始终流淌在浙江老百姓的血液之中，形成了浙江特有的文化精神和人文优势”“红色景点凝结着我党我军的光荣历史、优良传统和奋斗精神，是弘扬伟大民族精神、加强革命传统教育的宝贵资源。保护、开发、利用这些红色资源，发展红色旅游，具有政治、文化、经济等多重意义”。习近平总书记在浙江工作期间，特别重视红色资源保护和“红船精神”的弘扬。2005年6月，习近平同志把“红船精神”提炼概括为“开天辟地、敢为人先的首创精神，坚定理想、百折不挠的奋斗精神，立党为公、忠诚为民的奉献精神”，系统阐释了“红船精神”的深刻内涵和时代价值。在习近平同志的直接关心下，南湖革命纪念馆新馆建设被列入浙江省重点项目。习近平同志2006年6月亲自为南湖革命纪念馆新馆奠基，为浙江锚定了红色根脉的源头坐标。习近平同志还从浙江革命历史文化和火热实践中凝练出了一系列宝贵的精神成果，肯定了蚂蚁岛精神、大陈岛垦荒精神等，扩充了浙江的精神宝库。

5. Centering on establishing a correct outlook on political performance in cultural heritage protection, it is clearly stated that “protecting cultural heritage is the historical mission and sacred duty of Party committees and governments at all levels in our province”

五、围绕树立正确的文化遗产保护政绩观，鲜明提出“保护文化遗产，是我省各级党委、政府的历史使命和神圣职责”

Establishing a correct outlook on political performance in cultural heritage protection is not only a respect for history but also a responsibility for the future. In response to the incorrect outlook on political performance of some leading cadres in cultural heritage protection, Comrade Xi Jinping proposed that Party committees and governments are the main entities responsible for cultural heritage protection, pointing out that “protecting cultural heritage is the historical mission and sacred duty of Party committees and governments at all levels in our province” and “today’s leading cadres at all levels are no longer the ‘ignorant youths’ of the past; they all have a certain level of knowledge and cultural background. Therefore, today’s leaders should have an understanding of cultural heritage—this is the bare minimum. If ignorance in the past led to neglect that could be excused, then neglect today, when there is awareness, is a matter of consciousness and outlook on political performance.” He also noted, “Not wanting to put effort into things that are not earth-shattering, that will not earn you a medal, and that do not yield immediate results—this is a problem of the outlook on political performance.” Comrade Xi

树立正确的文化遗产保护政绩观，不仅是对历史的尊重，更是对未来的负责。习近平同志针对部分领导干部在文化遗产保护方面不正确的政绩观，提出党委政府是文化遗产保护责任主体，指出“保护文化遗产，是我省各级党委、政府的历史使命和神圣职责”“现在的各级领导，已经不是当年的‘吴下阿蒙’，都有一定的知识、文化背景。所以说，现在的领导对文化遗产应该有认识，这是最起码的。如果说，以前无知情况下的不重视还可以原谅，那么，现在有认识的情况下不重视，那就是意识问题、政绩观问题”“不想花力气在这些没有什么惊天动地的、不会给你挂奖章、也不是立竿见影的事情上，这就是政绩观的问题”。习近平同志把“文化保护工程”作为重要工程来抓。在他的推动下，浙江省政府专门成立了省历史文化遗产保护管理委员会。2005年，浙江省人大常委会公布实施《浙江省文物保护管理条例》，加快推进文化遗产立法工作；2006年，《浙江省非物质文化遗产保护条例》被列为地方一类立法项目，对加强非物质文化遗产的保护提出了更为明确的要求，制定了更为严格的制度。习近平同志关于文化遗产保护政绩观的重要论述，进一步明确了党委、政府作为文化遗产保护主体的责任，推动了浙江文化遗产保护工作更加全面、系统、科学地开展。

6. Centering on mobilising social forces to participate in cultural heritage protection, clearly put forward that “protecting and passing on cultural heritage is everyone’s business”

六、围绕发动社会力量参与文化遗产保护，鲜明提出“保护和传承文化遗产是每个人的事”

Cultural heritage is a precious treasure shared by all humanity, and protecting cultural heritage is everyone’s responsibility. Taking the actual situation in Zhejiang as an example, cultural heritage is numerous in quantity, widely distributed, and relatively scattered. During his work in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping, in response to the realities of cultural heritage protection work, emphasised the need to actively guide and encourage social forces to participate in the protection of cultural heritage, pointing out that “protecting and passing on cultural heritage is everyone’s business. Only when each of us cares for and cherishes the wealth left to us by our predecessors can our nation’s spirit, unique aesthetic sensibilities, and distinctive traditional temperament be passed down.” He stressed the need to establish and improve expert consultation systems for cultural heritage protection, as well as public and media oversight systems, and to fully leverage the roles of relevant academic institutions, universities and colleges, enterprises and institutions, and social organisations to jointly carry out cultural heritage protection work. In September 2003, when Comrade Xi Jinping conducted research on the protection, development, and utilisation of ancient villages in Zhuge Village, Lanxi, he fully affirmed its approach of holistic protection and the coexistence of villagers with the village. In June 2006, Comrade Xi Jinping conducted a special research trip on cultural heritage protection work. When mentioning the protection of ancient villages, he again affirmed Zhuge Village’s protection and utilisation practice of “everyone is a shareholder, everyone is a cultural relic protector.” The concept of universal participation in cultural heritage protection advocated by Comrade Xi Jinping, along with its vivid practice in Zhejiang, reveals the profound truth of “relying on whom and for whom” in cultural heritage protection, providing a “golden key” for innovation in the systems and mechanisms of cultural heritage protection.

文化遗产是人类共同的宝贵财富，保护文化遗产人人有责。就浙江实际而言，文化遗产数量众多、分布广泛、相对分散。习近平总书记在浙江工作期间，针对文化遗产保护工作实际，强调要积极引导、鼓励社会力量参与文化遗产的保护，指出“保护和传承文化遗产是每个人的事。只有我们每个人都关心和爱惜前人给我们留下的这些财富，我们民族的精神和独特的审美情趣、独特的传统气质，才能传承下去”。他强调，建立完善文化遗产保护专家咨询制度、公众和舆论监督制度，充分发挥有关学术机构、大专院校、企事业单位、社会团体等各方面的作用，共同开展文化遗产保护工作。2003年9月，习近平同志到兰溪诸葛村调研古村落保护和开发利用工作时，对其整体性保护、村民与村落共存的保护方式给予充分肯定。2006年6月，习近平同志专题调研文化遗产保护工作，在提到保护古村落时，再次肯定诸葛村“人人都是股东，人人都是文保员”的保护利用做法。习近平同志倡导的文化遗产全民共保理念及其在浙江的生动实践，揭示了文化遗产保护“依靠谁、为了谁”的深刻道理，为文化遗产保护体制机制创新提供了“金钥匙”。

7. Centering on the application for World Cultural Heritage status, clearly put forward that “‘World Heritage’ application has many conditions, and it also requires determination and cost”

七、围绕世界文化遗产申报，鲜明提出“‘申遗’是有许多条件的，也要下决心，花代价”

World Cultural Heritage is an important achievement in the development of human civilisation, one of the most precious treasures in humanity’s cultural treasury, and a vital vehicle for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among different civilisations. During his work in Zhejiang, General Secretary Xi Jinping attached great importance to the application for World Cultural Heritage status. At that time, Zhejiang had no World Heritage sites, the foundation was relatively weak, and the work on World Heritage applications was also lagging behind. In November 2002, when Comrade Xi Jinping inspected the Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone and the “West Lake Westward Expansion” project sites, he explicitly stated that the province actively supported the comprehensive protection and environmental remediation project of West Lake and actively supported West Lake’s application for “World Heritage” status. In October 2004, Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out the need to “accelerate the pace of work on applying for World Natural and Cultural Heritage, World Geoparks, etc., and cultivate world-class branded tourism products.” On 11 May 2005, in his instruction on the “Inspection Report on the Liangzhu Site Protection Delegation’s Visit to Ji’an,” Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out that “our province is still blank in terms of World Heritage applications. ‘World Heritage’ application has many conditions, and it also requires determination and cost.” On 4 July 2005, Comrade Xi Jinping again instructed on the “Report on the Protection and World Heritage Application Work of the Liangzhu Site” submitted by the Provincial Department of Culture and the Provincial Bureau of Cultural Heritage: “Please ask the Hangzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to continue advancing the protection and World Heritage application work.” Before the successful inscription of the Liangzhu Archaeological Site on the World Heritage list, Comrade Xi Jinping issued seven important instructions and directives on the protection and World Heritage application work of the Liangzhu Site. With Comrade Xi Jinping’s concern and support, the archaeological and World Heritage application work of the Liangzhu Site continuously achieved new breakthroughs. Regarding the protection of the Grand Canal, Comrade Xi Jinping conducted in-depth on-site inspections and research. On 31 December 2006, when inspecting the comprehensive remediation and protection development project of the Grand Canal (Hangzhou section), Comrade Xi Jinping pointed out that “the comprehensive remediation and protection development project of the canal highlights the requirement of returning the canal to the people and benefiting the people. It is hoped that Hangzhou will make good use of the canal as a ‘golden business card,’ truly building the canal into a landscape river, an ecological river, and a cultural river with the characteristics of the times and Hangzhou’s features, truly making it a ‘people’s canal’ and a ‘tourists’ canal.’” Comrade Xi

世界文化遗产是人类文明发展的重要成果，是人类文化宝库中最为珍贵的遗产之一，也是促进不同文明交流互鉴的重要载体。习近平总书记在浙江工作期间，高度重视世界文化遗产的申报工作。当时，浙江还没有一处世界遗产，基础相对较弱，世界遗产申报工作起步也较滞后。2002年11月，习近平同志在考察杭州经济技术开发区以及“西湖西进”工程点等地时，明确表示省里积极支持西湖综合保护与环境整治工程，积极支持西湖申报“世遗”。2004年10月，习近平同志指出要“加快申报世界自然与文化遗产、世界地质公园等工作的步伐，培育世界级品牌的旅游产品”。2005年5月11日，习近平同志在对《良渚遗址保护考察团赴集安考察报告》的批示中指出，“我省在世界遗产申报方面尚属空白。‘申遗’是有许多条件的，也要下决心，花代价”。2005年7月4日，习近平同志对省文化厅、省文物局报送的《关于良渚遗址保护和申遗工作的报告》再次批示：“请杭州市委、市政府继续推进保护和申遗工作。”在良渚古城遗址申遗成功之前，习近平同志曾七次就良渚遗址保护和申遗工作作出重要指示批示。在习近平同志的关心和支持下，良渚遗址的考古和申遗工作不断取得新突破。关于大运河保护，习近平同志深入现场考察调研。2006年12月31日，习近平同志在考察中国大运河（杭州段）综合整治与保护开发工程时，指出“运河综合整治与保护开发工程突出了还河于民、造福于民的要求，希望杭州用好运河这张‘金名片’，把运河真正打造成具有时代特征、杭州特色的景观河、生态河、人文河，真正成为‘人民的运河’、‘游客的运河’”。习近平同志对申遗工作的关心指导、亲自部署和倾力推动，为杭州西湖文化景观、大运河和良渚古城遗址申遗成功奠定了坚实基础。

General Secretary Xi Jinping’s systematic thinking on cultural heritage protection during his work in Zhejiang Province has been continuously tested, developed, and refined in practice, fully reflecting his scientific grasp of the laws of cultural heritage protection. It profoundly enlightens us: cultural heritage is a precious treasure left to us by our ancestors, extremely valuable, and must be approached from the height of cultural inheritance and civilizational continuity, adhering to protection first, and protecting historical and cultural heritage as one cherishes one’s own life. Cultural heritage protection is a complex systematic project; to pass on cultural heritage intact to future generations, it must always be regarded as a cultural living organism, with holistic protection as the basic policy, achieving comprehensive measures. Red cultural heritage carries the Party’s original aspiration and founding mission; its collection, sorting, protection, and research must be strengthened, focusing on both tangible heritage protection and intangible heritage inheritance, promoting the transmission of red genes from generation to generation. It is necessary to enhance the sense of reverence, respect, and cherishing for historical and cultural heritage, establish a cultural heritage protection work pattern with Party committee leadership, government responsibility, departmental coordination, and social participation, and protect cultural heritage with the strictest systems and the most rigorous rule of law. The people’s right to know, participate, supervise, and evaluate cultural heritage protection work must be guaranteed, effectively pooling the strength and wisdom of all parties to form a good atmosphere of “protecting cultural relics is everyone’s responsibility.” Adhere to the dialectical unity of protection and development, properly handle major issues such as protection and development, tradition and modernity, upholding fundamental principles and innovation, and continuously explore new paths for a “win-win” between protection and development. Cultural heritage is an important carrier for promoting exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations; it is necessary to adhere to the application for World Cultural Heritage as a strategic choice for expanding the influence of Chinese culture and advancing civilizational exchanges and mutual learning, strengthen exchanges on cultural heritage protection, and jointly safeguard the cultural treasures and natural gems of all humanity.

习近平总书记在浙江工作期间关于文化遗产保护的系统性思考，在实践中不断得到检验、发展和完善，充分体现了他对文化遗产保护规律的科学把握，深刻启示我们：文化遗产是老祖宗留给我们的宝贵财富，弥足珍贵，必须从文化传承、文明赓续的高度，坚持保护第一，像爱惜自己的生命一样保护好历史文化遗产；文化遗产保护是一个复杂的系统工程，要将文化遗产完整交给后人，必须始终视其为文化生命体，把整体性保护作为基本方针，做到综合施策；红色文化遗产承载着党的初心使命，要加强收集、整理、保护、研究，既注重有形遗产的保护，又注重无形遗产的传承，推动红色基因代代相传；要增强对历史文化遗产的敬畏之心、尊崇之心、珍爱之心，建立党委领导、政府负责、部门协同、社会参与的文化遗产保护工作格局，用最严格的制度、最严密的法治保护文化遗产；要保障人民群众对文化遗产保护工作的知情权、参与权、监督权、评判权，有效凝聚各方力量和智慧，形成“保护文物，人人有责”的良好氛围；坚持保护与发展的辩证统一性，妥善处理好保护与发展、传统与现代、守正与创新等重大问题，不断开拓保护和发展“双赢”的新路子；文化遗产是促进不同文明交流互鉴的重要载体，要坚持把世界文化遗产申报作为扩大中华文化影响力、推进文明交流互鉴的战略选择，加强文化遗产保护交流，共同守护好全人类的文化瑰宝和自然珍宝。
