There were complicated historical reasons for the massive loss of China cultural relics overseas. These cultural relics carried the cultural memories and emotions of the Chinese nation, so it was of far-reaching significance to resolutely pursue the cultural relics lost overseas. According to incomplete statistics, more than 10 million China cultural relics had been lost overseas, and there were more than 1.6 million in the world's museum. For example, the British Museum had 23000 pieces of China cultural relics, including Gu Kaizhi's Painting of Admonitions to Female History, Dunhuang scriptures, and the Tri-colored Arhat Statue of the Liao Dynasty. However, the country of origin of cultural relics faced many difficulties and challenges in both international law and domestic law when it came to recovering lost cultural relics. In terms of international law, there were many shortcomings in the relevant international conventions after World War II: first, the convention did not have retroactive effect, and it was impossible to recover cultural relics that had been lost before it came into effect; second, the wording of the core provisions of the convention was vague, the scope of application was narrow, and the monitoring mechanism was weak; third, many cultural relic market countries refused to join the relevant conventions in order to protect their own interests. In terms of domestic law, from the perspective of private law, the widely existing systems of bona fide acquisition, acquisition prescription and extinction prescription in various countries constitute obstacles. It was difficult for the country of origin or the original owner of the cultural relic to prove that the current holder had not bought the cultural relic in good faith; even if the purchase was not in good faith, the holder of the cultural relic could obtain the ownership based on the time limit after a certain period of possession; the "prescription of extinction" system also constituted a legal obstacle to the recovery of cultural relics lost for more than 20 years. From the perspective of public law, many countries stipulated that public collections of cultural relics were "non-negotiable" and prohibited their governments from transferring their ownership to foreign governments or foreigners. Despite the difficulties, China has made remarkable achievements in recovering cultural relics lost overseas in recent years. As the overall national strength continued to increase, the trend of returning cultural relics lost overseas gradually increased. Through law enforcement cooperation, judicial litigation, negotiated donations, rescue collection and other means, China has successfully promoted the return of more than 300 batches and more than 150,000 Chinese cultural relics lost overseas. For example, 361 pieces were returned from the United States in 2019; 68 pieces were recovered from the United Kingdom in 2020; 5 pieces were returned from Switzerland in 2023; 4 pieces of cultural relics and 1 fossil were returned from Australia; 38 pieces were successfully recovered from the United States in April 2024. At the same time, in 2020, the United Kingdom's cultural relic recovery operation established a model of negotiation, cooperative law enforcement, and judicial litigation. On the one hand, China should strengthen the system construction within the domestic legal system and improve the ability and level of using the legal means to recover lost cultural relics; on the other hand, it should actively participate in global governance, promote the development of relevant international laws in a more fair and just direction, and play a more active role in recovering lost cultural relics overseas.

Cultural Relics 4

The "four possessions" of cultural relics referred to the necessary protection scope, marking instructions, establishing records and archives, and setting up special protection and management agencies around the cultural protection unit. In 1961, the State Council approved the publication of the "Temporary Regulations on the Protection and Administration of Cultural Relics" for the first time, and in 1982, the State Council promulgated the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics" for the first time in the form of law. The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics, which was revised in 2017, also pointed out: "The people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions, and cities directly under the Central Government, as well as the people's governments of cities and counties, respectively, shall define the necessary scope of protection for cultural relics protection units, make signs and descriptions, establish records and archives, and set up specialized agencies or special personnel to manage them according to the circumstances. The scope of protection and the records of the key cultural relics protected throughout the country shall be reported to the cultural relics administration department of the State Council for the record by the cultural relics administration department of the people's government of the province, autonomous region, or directly under the Central Government. The "Four Haves" archives work of cultural relics protection units is the most critical measure for cultural relics protection units to effectively protect cultural relics and the most important foundation for cultural relics management according to law. The contents of the archives involve all aspects of cultural relics protection. The scientific, complete and detailed "Four Haves" archives can provide complete information for the cultural relics protection unit in the protection, utilization, management and publicity of cultural relics, and can also provide reliable evidence for the restoration of cultural relics accidentally damaged by the cultural relics protection unit. In terms of filing, the national cultural relics protection unit shall file according to the requirements of the National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit Record Archives Work Code and the National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit Record Archives Description. The provincial cultural relics protection unit shall refer to the requirements of the national cultural relics protection unit to file one by one.

Lovesickness in the cultural relics

The cultural relics contained many feelings of longing. For example, in the Book of Songs, Xiaoya, Yuanyang, the mandarin duck was compared to the love between husband and wife, and the "red bean" mentioned in Wen Tingyun's "Two Songs of Southern Songs" represented deep love. These literary works also echoed the cultural significance embodied in cultural relics. For cultural relics like the engraved silver box, the bottom of the box was engraved with a pair of men and women standing side by side and the words "two people of the same heart". It was as if one could see the scene of a man giving a powder box to a woman he liked a thousand years ago. It contained the love between a man and a woman. The Western Zhou jade pendant was two meters long. It was the only thing Marquis Mu of Jin cared about and doted on the second wife. It reflected the deep feelings between husband and wife.

Collection of cultural relics

Cultural relics collection was a field that involved many aspects. From the perspective of the ownership of cultural relics, there were cultural relics in the collection. These were items of cultural value collected by museum, library and other cultural relics collection units. Without approval, no unit or individual was allowed to transfer the cultural relics in the collection. The legal representative of the cultural relics collection unit was responsible for the safety of the cultural relics in the collection. There was also a large collection of cultural relics among the people. Folk collections were considered a useful supplement to national collections. There were a large number of collectors in the country. Their dedication and persistence over the years had protected cultural relics from being lost to a certain extent. They were an important force in protecting and inheriting Chinese culture. However, there were also some problems in the private collection industry. For example, there were mixed practitioners, negative trading practices, and the quality of collectors was uneven. Despite this, there were still many private collectors who donated their collections to the state-owned museum every year. In terms of regional distribution, the six provinces and cities with the largest collection of cultural relics in the country were Beijing, Shaanxi, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Jiangsu. The number of cultural relics owned by these six provinces and cities accounted for 55% of the national total. Among them, Beijing had 11.61 million cultural relics, accounting for 18% of the country's total. There were also 197 national first-class museum collections, including a large number of cultural relics of different levels, including the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Among them, 69 were national treasures, accounting for one-third of the country's total. In the process of collecting cultural relics, there were still some bad phenomena. For example, the Shanxi cultural relics collection store was exposed to be unqualified but collected and sold fake goods, cheating consumers. In addition, there were some materials related to the collection of cultural relics, such as the " Cultural Relics Collection Appreciation Dictionary', which provided reference for the collection and appreciation of cultural relics. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
