I. Development environment
During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, all localities and departments made solid progress in cultural relics work and made remarkable progress in cultural relics undertakings. The first national survey of movable cultural relics was completed, and 108 million movable cultural relics were registered in the country. The State Council approved and announced the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. The preservation of cultural relics continued to improve, and the overall security situation was stable. Important progress has been made in scientific research and technological innovation in the field of cultural relics. Archaeological and historical research has yielded fruitful results. The protection and utilization of revolutionary cultural relics have been comprehensively strengthened. The cause of museums has developed rapidly, and the reform of social cultural relics management has been steadily advanced. With the deepening of the activation and utilization of cultural relics, the social consensus on the protection of cultural relics has gradually deepened. The international exchange and cooperation of cultural relics has expanded in depth, and China’s influence in the field of international cultural heritage is increasing day by day. The legal system for the protection of cultural relics has been improved day by day, the protection and management forces have been continuously strengthened, the governance capacity and level have been improved, and the work pattern of party Committee leadership, government responsibility, departmental coordination and social participation has been continuously improved. The cultural relics cause has made important contributions to carrying forward China’s excellent traditional culture and building a Chinese dream together.
The "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" period is the first five years for China to start a new journey of building a socialist modern country in an all-round way, and it is also a crucial period for promoting the construction of a strong socialist cultural country and promoting the leap from a country with cultural relics resources to a country with cultural relics protection and utilization. The international environment is becoming more and more complex, and the uncertainty is increasing significantly. It is necessary to give full play to the unique advantages of cultural relics work, show a true three-dimensional and comprehensive China, enhance the influence of Chinese culture, and contribute to building a community of human destiny. The development of cultural relics is in an important period of strategic opportunities, and the work of cultural relics has a glorious mission and great responsibility. China has entered the stage of high-quality development, the security situation of cultural relics is still grim, the ranks and professional strength of protection and management institutions are still weak, the scientific and technological innovation ability and application level of cultural relics need to be improved urgently, the role of archaeology in empirical Chinese civilization history and cultural research needs to be strengthened urgently, the problem of insufficient protection and utilization of cultural relics still exists, and the reform tasks in key areas such as cultural relics resource management, value interpretation, law enforcement supervision and folk collection are still arduous.
