Recently, Qiushi magazine published the important article of General Secretary Xi Jinping, "Strengthening the Protection and Inheritance of Cultural Heritage and Promoting the Excellent Traditional Chinese Culture", which profoundly elucidated the significance of the protection and inheritance of cultural relics and cultural heritage. Cultural relics and heritage carry the genes and bloodline of the Chinese nation, and are non renewable and irreplaceable resources of excellent Chinese civilization. They are an important foundation for promoting the inheritance and development of excellent traditional Chinese culture. General Secretary Xi Jinping attached great importance to the protection and inheritance of cultural relics and cultural heritage, deployed and promoted from the strategic height of retaining the cultural roots and the national soul, and demonstrated a strong sense of civilization, deep historical awareness and sincere cultural feelings. Cultural heritage has demonstrated the origin and direction of Chinese civilization. Chinese civilization is the only continuous and great civilization in the world that has developed in the form of a nation to this day. The cultural heritage is engraved with the genetic code of "where we come from and where we go". The Exploration of the Origin of Chinese Civilization Project has demonstrated China's million year human history, 10000 year cultural history, and over 5000 years of civilization history. The theories of "foreign", "late emergence", and "backwardness" of Chinese civilization are self defeating. The ancestors of the Chinese nation have endured hardships and created a brilliant and splendid Chinese culture. After a long period of accumulation and repeated historical trials, they have forged a vast and profound Chinese civilization, created miracles of human civilization, enhanced our cultural confidence and national identity as Chinese people, and continuously enhanced our ambition, backbone, and confidence to be Chinese. Cultural heritage witnesses the great process of the Chinese people's unremitting struggle and creation of history. History is written by the people, archaeological sites and historical relics are witnesses of history, and are vivid symbols in the process of human civilization. The vast expanse of scriptures, profound ideological and cultural heritage, exquisite costumes, stunning art, magnificent architecture and water conservancy projects, and ingenious inventions and creations all embody the great national spirit and humanistic tradition of the Chinese people, with patriotism as the core, unity, love for peace, diligence, courage, and self-improvement, extending into the unique demeanor and character of the Chinese nation. The Chinese people are not only able to create the Chinese civilization that has been developing for thousands of years, but will also be inspired by these spirits to build a more brilliant modern civilization of the Chinese nation, contributing to the progress of human civilization. Cultural heritage confirms the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization. The excellent traditional culture of China is a prominent advantage of the Chinese nation, with distinct uniqueness, providing profound "soft power" for national development and social progress. The philosophical ideas, humanistic spirit, values, and moral norms contained in the excellent traditional Chinese culture jointly shape the outstanding characteristics of Chinese civilization, including continuity, innovation, unity, inclusiveness, and peace. These cultural characteristics are fully expressed in cultural heritage. As of now, China has a total of 57 world heritage sites, including 39 cultural heritage sites, 14 natural heritage sites, and 4 natural and cultural dual heritage sites, covering the long history of civilization development from the Neolithic Age to modern society, demonstrating the continuity of Chinese civilization; The Great Wall, Dujiangyan Irrigation Project and the Grand Canal, as miracles in the history of ancient engineering, reflect the outstanding creation of Chinese civilization
