Upgrade and Acceleration of Sanxingdui Site Protection Legislation
Updated:2021.05.28
  "The villager/resident committees of the places where Sanxingdui Site is located are encouraged to incorporate site protection into their village regulations and resident conventions", "The relevant departments of the province, Deyang City and Guanghan City shall investigate and punish illegal acts infringing the intellectual property rights of Sanxingdui Site according to law"... At the first plenary meeting of the 27th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th People's Congress of Sichuan Province held on the morning of May 26, the Regulations of Sichuan Province on the Protection of Sanxingdui Site, which attracted much attention, was submitted to the Standing Committee for deliberation.

  "In March this year, the important new archaeological discoveries at Sanxingdui Site caused a great sensation at home and abroad. It is the very time and necessary to formulate regulations at the provincial level to provide legal guarantee for the protection and management of Sanxingdui Site. To this end, the provincial party committee decided to accelerate and upgrade the Sanxingdui Site protection legislation," said Huang Yong, Deputy Director of the Education, Science, Culture and Health Committee of the People's Congress of Sichuan Province, when explaining the draft regulations.

  "Sanxingdui Site has been included in the tentative list of China's World Cultural Heritage items, so it is imperative to accelerate world heritage application. Formulating laws and regulations on the site protection is not only the need for the legalization of site protection and management, but also a pre-condition for world heritage application." According to Huang Yong, in the drafting process, in addition to relying on laws and regulations, they also abide by international conventions related to world heritage application. Article 9 of the draft stipulates that "the protection plan for Sanxingdui Site should conform to the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage"; Article 10 stipulates that "the scope of protection and the development control area should be delimited and published in accordance with relevant laws and regulations and in line with the requirements for world heritage protection".

  Expanding social participation is another highlight. Article 8 of the draft stipulates "encouraging the villager/resident committees of the places where Sanxingdui Site is located to incorporate site protection into their village regulations and resident conventions" and "encouraging natural persons, legal persons and unincorporated organizations to participate in the protection of Sanxingdui Site through donation, volunteer services and other means"; Article 16 stipulates "encouraging site protection by means of hiring cultural relics protectors, establishing mass cultural relics protection organizations and volunteer services" .

  The draft also gives importance to intellectual property protection by stipulating that "the protection and management agencies of Sanxingdui Site should strengthen Sanxingdui Site related intellectual property protection and management. The relevant departments of the province, Deyang City and Guanghan City shall investigate and punish illegal acts infringing the intellectual property rights of Sanxingdui Site according to law."
