Debate the solution! Treating historical and cultural heritage should be development-oriented.

The Forbidden City, the Great Wall, Terracotta Warriors, Peking Opera, ancient books and Dragon Boat Festival, seemingly unrelated things, have one thing in common. They are all outstanding cultural heritages left by our ancestors, which have a far-reaching impact on many countries in Asia and even the world. As the inheritors of these excellent cultural heritages, we are often proud of them. However, people have never reached a consensus on how to protect cultural heritage.

A few days ago, the home page of a domestic portal claimed that some experts suggested dismantling the Forbidden City and building commercial housing. Although this statement is sheer nonsense, it has caused a heated debate on the Internet. I don't care much about the fabricator's alarmism, but I'm surprised that so many people are willing to talk about it. The fabrication trace of this statement is obvious, but the reason why it spreads like a true story shows that we have not taken historical and cultural heritage seriously for a long time. If we take history and culture seriously, consciously undertake the mission of protecting and inheriting cultural heritage, and regard the demolition of the Forbidden City as an April Fool's joke, it will be regarded as entertainment at most.

In the process of inheriting cultural heritage, we can always see the figure of commercialization. In modern commercial society, commercialization is actually a commercial derivative of traditional cultural heritage. Combining cultural heritage with modern goods and services can easily win the praise of consumers, enhance the spread of culture and goods, and even bring huge commercial benefits. Many domestic liquor names are taken from historical allusions or relics, and consumers will inevitably associate them with history while enjoying fine wine. For businessmen, this is enough. Because commercialization not only helps to expand the connotation of cultural heritage, enhance its dissemination, but also opens the door to wealth. In many cases, the pursuit of economic interests has become the direct driving force for businessmen to spare no effort to explore the cultural heritage market.

Cultural heritage is exclusive, and its commercialization must be orderly. The commercialization of cultural heritage will not necessarily destroy cultural heritage, and even contribute to the spread of traditional cultural heritage. However, in the real society, the commercialization of cultural heritage is quite common and serious. On the one hand, commercialization sometimes destroys the true connotation of cultural heritage. In order to achieve the best interests, businessmen may take cultural heritage out of context or interpret it at will, making people know only one thing and not the other, thus breaking the complete connotation of traditional cultural heritage. After over-deduction, it is difficult for future generations to enjoy the original cultural heritage. From the cultural heritage itself, this interpretation is tampering. On the other hand, commercialization sometimes destroys the true face of cultural heritage or natural heritage.

In fact, the commercialization of cultural heritage will also lead to new interest arrangements in the cultural heritage derivatives market. Dragon Boat Festival is more like a kind of culture, with many unique spiritual connotations, which has become the knot of China people. But when the Dragon Boat Festival is combined with business, it brings new problems to the originally peaceful cultural life. Last year, South Korea originally declared the Dragon Boat Festival as a world cultural heritage, which really made Chinese people anxious for a long time. Later, it was reported that South Korea was going to apply for declaration together with China, and the name of declaration was limited to "Gangneung Daye Festival", which brought some comfort to Chinese people. Cultural heritage is not only transformed into the distribution of interests among countries, but also brings practical benefits to businessmen. In the private sector, a Korean company applied to register the screen name of the Dragon Boat Festival. cn”。 Before the Dragon Boat Festival this year, it was reported that a domestic company spent money to buy back the screen name from a Korean company. There are many similar examples. Even the names of ancient classics, such as The Three Kingdoms and The Water Margin, which we read since childhood, have been registered as trademarks or screen names by the Japanese. Our ancestors left us too much legacy and a lot of troubles. In fact, even if Korean companies register for the Dragon Boat Festival. Cn "will not constitute an illegal website, and it may not be harmful to the traditional culture of China. But this practice really hurts Qu Yuan's hometown people, and we would rather spend money to buy back the name of this website. From a business point of view, we have to admire the founder of that Korean company. He registered the Chinese screen name "Dragon Boat Festival". Cn ",perhaps in order to sell Chinese screen names to China people after registration.

We should pay serious attention to the protection of cultural heritage, which is not narrow nationalism or pure commercial interests, but the historical mission of faithfully inheriting and spreading excellent national culture. Japan began to enact the Law on the Protection of Cultural Heritage more than 0/00 years ago, and South Korea followed suit with similar laws. There is almost no special legislation on the protection of cultural heritage in China, and even cultural heritage protection is rarely treated as a strategic issue. This situation can hardly match China's economic, political and cultural influence. Our ancestors left too much spiritual wealth, and history is constantly creating new cultures, so we don't have to worry too much about the commercialization of cultural heritage. However, as the inheritors of cultural heritage, we have no right to waste the excellent cultural heritage left by our ancestors; As a wise Chinese nation, we should be better at formulating and applying legal rules.
