The instructions state that the Wanshouyan Paleolithic cave site in Sanming City is the first important discovery of prehistoric archaeology in our province, and it is also a rare and important prehistoric relic in China that must be carefully and properly protected. The Wanshouyan Site is a significant archaeological discovery of the Paleolithic period in China. But at that time, the site had not yet been designated as a cultural relic. Due to the abundant reserves of limestone in the local area, Sanming Iron and Steel Plant is carrying out large-scale blasting mining on Wanshouyan. Two immediate actions with a clear attitude. Less than a month later, Xi Jinping gave instructions on this matter. Through two approvals and the rescue of cultural heritage, the Wanshouyan Site was preserved as a whole. Xi Jinping has always been concerned about the protection and inheritance of cultural heritage, and pays special attention to the protection of local cultural heritage every time he goes to work. "If we don't take good care of them, we will be guilty, and we will be ashamed of future generations." When serving as the Secretary of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee, Xi Jinping warned some places of their opposition between economic development and cultural relics protection: "If the ignorance of the past can be forgiven, then the ignorance of the present situation is a problem of awareness and political performance." Over the years, Xi Jinping has had in-depth thinking on how to better handle the relationship between cultural heritage protection and development, inheritance and innovation. How to protect and utilize cultural heritage while developing the economy is a topic that every city has to face. In December 2013, Xi Jinping pointed out at the Central Conference on Urbanization Work that "our cities have many historical memories, especially some old urban areas with a long history, which are the most valuable things and cannot be destroyed because of impetuosity and ignorance". "I saw a material saying that more than 30 cities across the country have or are planning to rebuild their ancient cities, including the former residence of Pan Jinlian and the reconstruction of Ah Fang Palace! There are also some places keen on changing the old names, like some foreign names, such as' Manhattan ',' Venice ',' California 1886 ',' Maseland ', etc., which are diverse, are they in harmony with Chinese history and culture? Not only are the masses confused, but also cut off the geographical context, which is not conducive to the inheritance of our national culture." Two years later, at the Central City Work Conference in December 2015, Xi Jinping again stressed that we should protect them well Cultural heritage left by predecessors, including cultural relics and historic sites, historic and cultural cities, towns, villages, historic blocks, historic buildings, and industries
