How to write a practical investigation report on cultural heritage

The first item is that this heritage item we are dealing with, if it is to be included in the world heritage, it must represent a unique artistic achievement, a masterpiece of creative genius. For example, let's take an example, like the Acropolis of Athens, which represents the highest artistic achievement of ancient Greece at that time, reflecting the creativity of the Greeks and their wisdom. The Acropolis project meets the first criterion for World Heritage, especially since the temples were built by some of the most famous Greek artists.

The second criterion refers to the fact that the project reflects a change in the conception of mankind in the art of architecture or the art of monumental buildings, including town planning and landscaping, over a certain period of time or in a specific cultural region of the world. If we simply summarize it, we can say that it is an expression of a change in human concepts. An example of this is a German heritage project called the Bauhaus Academy, which is an art school that has existed for only a decade or so, but in the short time that it has existed, the school has transformed the classical or traditional education in architecture and art and design into a modernist approach to education. It reflects the transformation of human ideology and aesthetic concepts, including educational concepts, in the 1920s, so although it only existed for a short period of more than ten years, its school was inscribed on the World Heritage List. Because it reflects the changes in human concepts during such a period of great human change.

The third criterion is that we are dealing with a heritage item that can be a witness to a civilization or cultural tradition that has disappeared. For example, Jerusalem is a very important heritage item that reflects the development of an ancient human civilization, and some of these civilizations or cultures may have changed and disappeared, but Jerusalem is the place where they originated, and it is a historical testimony to their existence, and if this criterion can be met, the item can be inscribed on the World Heritage List. World Heritage List.

The fourth criterion is that it can serve as a typical representative building of an important stage in human history, reflecting the era and being an outstanding example of the architecture or landscape of the era. If we simply talk about an outstanding example of an era. For example, the Forbidden City, in fact, is such that when we talk about the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the late feudal society of China, you can immediately associate the Forbidden City, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Forbidden City in Shenyang, which has become a symbol of the era. When it comes to the Russian Revolution and the development of early socialism, the Kremlin and Red Square are symbols that have become symbols of the era.

The fifth criterion is that we are dealing with a heritage site that can serve as an outstanding example of traditional human settlements and the use of land and human habitation. In particular, it may reflect one or more cultures. And this culture has become very vulnerable in the course of human history. For example, let's take Venice, the famous city of Venice, Italy, which is such an example. From the Middle Ages, some people fled the war and settled here, and then built this city, and with the development of the Italian economy, with the development of the Venetian economy, with the development of the Venetian economy, with the Venetian power, the city gradually developed, and then built a lot of very outstanding buildings. Then here trained a large number of artists, like the Venetian School, such a large number of artists, then with the change of the whole world trade system, with the gradual change of the world's countries in the sea of the rights of a gradual change, Venice later lost its original status, it may be that once the splendor of the day has faded, but Venice, the city itself, witnessed the civilization, such a city! Cities like this can also be included in the World Heritage List, and in fact our Lijiang and Pingyao also belong to this type of project, which reflects the relationship between man and nature and how to use the land. Lijiang, for example, how it relates to the snow-capped mountains and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the relationship with the surrounding wetlands, then all of these can validate this balance between man and nature.

The sixth criterion is a special criterion, which is usually not directly applicable as a separate criterion to evaluate whether a World Heritage project can be inscribed on the World Heritage List, but is directly related to the world of special significance, or to the existing traditions, ideas, literature and arts. This item is slightly different from the five criteria we mentioned earlier, in that the first five criteria can be included in the World Heritage List as long as one of them is fulfilled, but for the sixth item, it needs to fulfill one of the first five criteria, and then the sixth item can be included as a supplementary item. For example, the Forbidden City, because it is related to many important figures in our history, can also meet the requirements of this criterion.

The World Heritage List was published for the first time in 1978, and there were 12 sites on the list, but now there are 754 sites, which is a big change in the number of sites. World Heritage in the process of such a change, the heritage program is also constantly emerging some new types. For example, we have just talked about the issue of cities, from the Heritage Convention, which stipulates monuments, then architectural complexes and ruins, to the later development of cities, and then felt that only cities and these buildings were not enough, and hoped for further expansion, so in 1992, a new taste was proposed, which belongs to the cultural heritage in a new taste, that is, cultural landscape, and put forward the concept of a cultural landscape. Cultural landscape actually reflects the content of human and natural **** with the role of a result, and produce a and special human culture of such a face.

There are three types of cultural landscapes, the first of which is the landscape designed and constructed by human beings with a clear plan, including such a landscape as a garden square with aesthetic value, which is a type of landscape.

The other is that it is gradually developed, may not be people once designed, gradually developed, it is based on a social and cultural or even a kind of administrative or religious requirements, and the environment to adapt to the final formation of a landscape, the other category is actually a combination of categories, for example, it includes some of the natural landscape, and at the same time there are a number of humanistic things *** with the combination, to form a landscape with the ability of a natural landscape, and the humanities. The other type is actually a combination, for example, it includes some natural features, and at the same time there are some humanistic things **** together, forming a landscape with a strong religious or artistic and cultural influence expressed through some material heritage. This is three types of cultural landscapes, then our Mount Lu, in fact, also from this perspective to consider the process of its gradual formation and development, may be more suitable for the second type, because it is a gradual organic development and the formation of social and cultural or religious requirements, the gradual formation of the formation of and the environment adapted to the formation of a what we see today such a very unique has outstanding It is a unique landscape environment with outstanding global value that we see today. This is a relatively new type of heritage conservation.
