On March 1, the newly revised Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics officially came into force. To further raise awareness and garner support for cultural‑relics protection across all sectors of society, and to strengthen public legal consciousness and a sense of responsibility, a promotional exhibition and on‑site quiz event on the Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics was held at Yuming Lian Culture Square. The event was hosted by the Municipal Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau and organized by the Municipal Cultural Relics Protection Research Center, the Municipal Museum, the Wang Anshi Memorial Hall, the Tang Xianzu Memorial Hall, and the Municipal Opera Museum.

Key provisions of the law, the on-the-ground dedication of census teams across Fuzhou’s counties and districts, and the latest progress in Fuzhou’s fourth national cultural relics census—through legal commentary, field‑survey photographs, and illustrated display panels, the event comprehensively showcased the core content of the newly revised Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics, while educating the public about cultural heritage preservation.

“How are cultural relics graded?” “Who should I contact if I discover a cultural relic?”… The interactive quiz zone on site was packed with visitors, many parents bringing their children along. Citizens answered questions for prizes, learned new facts, and even took home small cultural‑creative souvenirs!

The entry into force of the new Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics marks a new stage in China’s cultural‑relics protection, characterized by governance based on law. This event will help raise public awareness of cultural‑relics preservation, further consolidate the societal consensus that “protecting cultural relics is everyone’s responsibility,” and, through unified efforts to “know the law, abide by the law, and safeguard the law,” jointly advance the high‑quality development of China’s cultural‑relics sector.
