It bears important value in terms of history, science, technology, society, culture and arts. The Sichuan Provincial Economic and Information Commission required enterprises (units) affiliated to provincial-level industrial heritage projects to take effective measures to strengthen the protection, management and utilization of heritage projects.

On the basis of ensuring the effective protection of industrial heritage, we should explore a new development model to promote industrial cultures, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of industry and information in Sichuan Province.
