Reporter of China News Service.

Over the past year, from the bronze longitudinal masks in Sanxingdui, Sichuan to the "Speechless Bodhisattva" in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, from the ancient city of Liangzhu in Zhejiang to the ruins of Yinxu in Henan, people have taken turns to "check in" in various museums and cultural relics. How to make cultural relics better "speak" and benefit the public? How to empower the cultural tourism industry with cultural relics? At this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, the deputies and members offered suggestions and suggestions.

Let the museum "speak".

The new museum of Yinxu in Henan Province has opened its doors. He Yuling, deputy director of the Anyang Workstation of the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Service that compared with the simple cultural relics display of the old museum, the shape of the new museum is a bronze tripod, and even the door handles, interior patterns, and welcome texts give full play to the cultural elements of Yin Shang. The special exhibition on the third floor exhibits the "circle of friends" of the owner of the oracle bone, and the audio interactive installation presents the sound measurement results of three bronze cymbals unearthed from the Yachang Tomb, so that the sound of 3,000 years ago lingers around the beams today".

In the next year or two, we will clean up important artifacts in the 'Fine Archaeology Laboratory', and the audience can see the work inside through the glass curtain wall. He Yuling said.

Fa Yan, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and deputy director of the National Cultural Palace, said that in recent years, all parts of the country have actively explored ways to let cultural relics "speak", but the excavation and interpretation of the connotation of ancient cultural relics and ancient books are insufficient, and the form of display and communication needs to be enriched and innovated. He suggested that the in-depth integration of historical relics and modern technology should be strengthened, and services such as immersive experiences should be provided.

A mobile phone "for thousands of years".

It is necessary to strengthen the construction of digital standards for cultural relics and the sharing of digital resources for cultural relics. Wang Wanfu, deputy director of the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Conservation and Research Department of the Dunhuang Academy, said that the Institute has launched a "Cloud Tour Dunhuang" applet, "Digital Scripture Cave", etc., in the "Digital Dunhuang Resource Library" online 30 high-definition images of the entire cave and panoramic roaming programs are shared globally, "a mobile phone tour of Dunhuang, you can think about a thousand years."

It is suggested that a unified digital standard for cultural relics should be formulated and promulgated at the national level as soon as possible, and the whole process of collection, sorting, storage, processing, and use should be included in the standards and specifications, so that digital technology can better help cultural relics 'come alive'. Wang Wanfu suggested.

Youth-friendly exhibitions.

During this year's Spring Festival, the Six Dynasties Museum under the Nanjing Museum welcomed visitors with the theme of the Year of the Dragon, attracting many teenagers on winter vacation. Song Yan, deputy director of the National People's Congress and deputy director of the Nanjing Museum, introduced that the museum combined the cultural relics in the collection and Nanjing culture, and innovatively designed dozens of social education and research courses such as "Exploring the Six Dynasties", "with the culture of the Six Dynasties in the community and schools to promote it at close range." "The seven venues under the Nanjing Museum carried out 1,781 social and educational activities last year.

The "study of cultural relics" also made Song Yan discover new problems. "The museum's exhibition settings, lighting, display cabinet height, and the content of the commentary do not fully meet the needs of children. In this regard, Song Yan suggested the development of a reference standard for "child-friendly museums". "The exhibition can 3D print some of the exhibits, provide blind school children with the opportunity to touch the exhibits, and optimize the 'little docent' volunteer project. ”

Take cultural relics as the axis to promote cultural tourism.

The "Speechless Bodhisattva" who has contracted many netizens' avatars in the past year is from the Jingdezhen Chinese Ceramics Museum. Many people used to think that Jingdezhen was only about producing porcelain, but with the change in development concept, there are now more green spaces and parks, and the former black chimney has become a new landmark in the cultural and creative industrial park.

Zhang Jingjing, deputy to the National People's Congress and dean of the International College of Jingdezhen Ceramic University, suggested that the construction of Jingdezhen Cultural Relics Protection Zone should further protect the texture of the old city of Jingdezhen. It can build an ancient porcelain tile trading center, a cultural relics store, a contemporary ceramic art copyright trading center, etc., and formulate a development plan and path that conforms to Jingdezhen's future industry, community and cultural preservation.

He Yuling expects that the new Yinxu Museum will complement and interact with the existing Yinxu Palace Area, Yinxu Royal Mausoleum Area, and the archaeological and cultural tourism town under construction, "so that we can fully display and activate while archaeology, excavation and research, and form a very complete display chain and information chain."
