Cultural heritage protection is of great significance:
1. Preservation of historical memory: Cultural heritage is the witness and memory of history, which embodies various information such as history, culture, politics and society. Protecting cultural heritage can let future generations know the process and changes of historical development, thus deepening their knowledge and understanding of history and culture.
2. Protect cultural diversity: Every country and nation has unique cultural traditions and customs. Protecting cultural heritage can inherit and carry forward these unique cultural traditions and spirits, enhance understanding, respect and tolerance among different cultures, and maintain the ecological balance of human cultural diversity.
3. Landscape protection: Many cultural heritages have unique natural landscapes or architectural landscapes, which constitute an important part of the cultural heritage itself. Protecting these landscapes can not only beautify the environment and improve the quality of the city, but also meet people's aesthetic needs and cultural consumption expectations.
4. Economic development: As the prototype of tourist attractions, cultural products and innovative designs, many cultural heritages have become important resources and pillars of cultural industries. Protecting cultural heritage can not only promote tourism and economic development, but also enhance national cultural soft power and brand image.
Therefore, the protection of cultural heritage is very important and necessary, which is not only the responsibility and mission of historical and cultural inheritance, but also the responsibility for human civilization and future development.
