How to protect the inheritance of minority ancient books?

In the "Ethnic Treasures and Book Fragrance of China - China's Minority Ancient Book Treasures and Protection Achievements Exhibition", the minority ancient book treasures tell the moving story of the interaction and integration of the various ethnic groups, and show the long history of the Chinese culture.

The old copy of the "Dongba Dance Score" records 34 Dongba dance rituals and dances in the ancient Dongba language of the Naxi people. Dongba script is a kind of writing used by the Naxi people, which consists of hieroglyphic symbols, epigrams and additional symbols, with hieroglyphic symbols being the main ones. It is written from left to right. Over the years, national antiquities workers have excavated and organized a large number of ancient books in Dongbawen, so that the essence of national culture can be passed on.

The Bastba script is the Mongolian script that prevailed during the Yuan Dynasty. The Bastba script is a pinyin script created in 1269 on the basis of the Tibetan alphabet, which is used for spelling Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan and other scripts, and has been in use for about 100 years. The Bastba script has 41 basic letters, and it is written from top to bottom, with lines running from left to right.

China, through the implementation of the work of minority ancient book protection, rescue, collation and research, the original representative minority ancient books such as the Bastba script and Dongba script have been selected to be included in the project of "National List of Valuable Ancient Books".

All are national treasures and should be effectively protected to allow cultural inheritance.
