new networkAugust 7, "protect the cultural treasures and natural treasures of the Chinese nation."

General Secretary Xi Jinping recently made important instructions on strengthening the protection, inheritance and utilization of cultural and natural heritage.

For a long time, the protection, inheritance and utilization of cultural and natural heritage have been Xi Jinping's business.

The West Lake in Hangzhou is a world-renowned cultural heritage.

In 2002, the West Lake Comprehensive Protection Project was launched. Xi Jinping, who took up his new post in Zhejiang, placed his first stop on the West Lake in Hangzhou. He said: "to build the West Lake well and implement the comprehensive protection project of the West Lake so that the historical appearance of the West Lake can be restored and restored is not only a benevolent government, but also a good deed that has won the hearts and minds of the people."

In order to make the protection of the West Lake more popular, Xi Jinping not only focus on the overall situation, but also very concerned about the "small things".

In October 2002, Hangzhou demolished the wall around the West Lake and implemented a 24-hour free opening of the park around the lake. The West Lake Scenic Area became the first 5A-level scenic spot in China that does not charge tickets. After the West Lake Scenic Area was opened free of charge, many chairs were added for citizens and tourists to rest, but there were more chairs and the spacing was closer.

Xi Jinping, then secretary of the Zhejiang Provincial Party Committee, conveyed his suggestion to the scenic spot management department: There are many lovers by the West Lake. If the distance between the chairs is too close, the lovers will feel uncomfortable. He suggested that there should be a certain spacing between the benches.

Xi Jinping has paid close attention to the protection and utilization of the West Lake.

In addition to the chair issue, Xi Jinping has repeatedly conveyed suggestions to the West Lake management department.

For example, the West Lake toilet problem. The park by the West Lake is open for free, but the public toilets are closed at night, which brings a lot of inconvenience to citizens and tourists. After the management department listened to Xi Jinping's suggestion, the public toilets by the West Lake were all open 24 hours free of charge.

Another example is the problem of cruise ships on the West Lake. After the expansion of the West Lake waters, cruise ships often bump into each other when passing through the bridge holes on the new West Lake, which is not safe but also causes damage to the bridge holes and hull. He suggested improvement. After investigation, the West Lake scenic spot has added rubber tires to the bow for protection.

Behind Xi Jinping's concern about these "little things", he is actually explaining how to handle the relationship between cultural and natural heritage protection, inheritance and utilization.

When he inspected the comprehensive protection project of the West Lake in Hangzhou, he vividly explained this group of relationships: "We emphasize protection, not to cover these natural and cultural landscapes tightly, and not to move, but to adhere to protection. Under the premise of moderate and reasonable development and construction, better protection can be achieved through moderate and reasonable development and construction."

These concepts and requirements have laid a solid foundation for the success of the West Lake's application in the future.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, General Secretary Xi Jinping has visited historical and cultural monuments and natural heritage sites many times, and has discussed the dialectical relationship between protection, inheritance and utilization on different occasions.

With regard to "ancient" and "present", he pointed out that stupid things such as "demolishing real monuments and building fake antiques" should not be carried out, and stressed that it is necessary to protect and make good use of historical and cultural blocks so that they can shine brilliantly in the construction of modern metropolises.

Regarding "scenery" and "people", he requested that the protection of historical and cultural heritage should be put in the first place, and at the same time, it should be used rationally to make it play a full role in providing public cultural services and meeting the needs of people's spiritual and cultural life.

In the important instructions made recently, Xi Jinping once again explained the relationship between protection, inheritance and utilization.

-Further strengthen the overall and systematic protection of cultural and natural heritage, effectively improve the ability and level of heritage protection, and protect the cultural and natural treasures of the Chinese nation.

-- We should continue to strengthen the inheritance and utilization of cultural and natural heritage, so as to make it glow with new vitality and brilliance in the new era, so as to better meet the needs of the people for a better life.

He further pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in the field of cultural and natural heritage, and use practical actions to make new and greater contributions to implementing the global civilization initiative and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Cultural and natural heritage connect the past, present and future of a civilization. The total number of world heritage sites in China has reached 59, and they are all golden business cards of Chinese civilization.

How to protect these treasures and treasures of the Chinese nation can be found in Xi Jinping's concern about some "little things.
