What are the four major cultural heritages in China?

China's four major cultural heritages refer to the archives of Ming and Qing Dynasties, Oracle bones in Yin ruins, bamboo slips in Juyan and Dunhuang scriptures.

1. The archives of Ming and Qing Dynasties are divided into cabinet archives, Ministry of War archives, internal affairs archives, Zongrenfu archives, National History Museum archives, Qing Palace archives and government offices archives of various ministries and institutes in Qing Dynasty. Among them, most of them are in Chinese, and there are old Manchu archives and diplomatic archives in Britain, France and Germany.

2. Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins is the earliest written language with a complete system in China, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins is the earliest written language in China recorded by Wang, which has become an important raw material for linguistics, history, ethnology, astronomy, meteorology, agriculture, medicine, historical geography, archaeology and other disciplines. The discovery of Oracle Bone Inscriptions in Yin Ruins is one of the most important discoveries in modern academic history.

3. The "Juyan Han Bamboo Slips" are named after the discovery of these Han bamboo slips in Juyan, Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China and Ruchengzi, Jinta County, east of Jiayuguan in Gansu Province. To understand all aspects of Juyan bamboo slips, we must first understand the situation of Juyan Fort, the Great Wall of Han Dynasty.

"Juyan" was called "quicksand ze" in ancient times. The sentences of "West" and "After the waves enter quicksand" in Shangshu show that there was once a river called "Weak Water", which was named after Wang Guowei and Luo Zhenyu co-authored the study of the famous Han bamboo slips "Liusha Luojian" in Juyan.

4. Dunhuang manuscripts, also known as Dunhuang documents, Dunhuang suicide notes and Dunhuang suicide notes, refer to 4- 1 1 century ancient manuscripts unearthed in Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang County, Gansu Province, China. Since Monk Le Lei dug the first cave in the second year of Jianyuan in the former Qin Dynasty, the activities of writing scriptures and making statues have been carried out from generation to generation.

When Renzong was in the Northern Song Dynasty, Xixia attacked Dunhuang. In order to avoid the fire, monks hid a large number of documents in the compound room of the cave, then built mud walls and painted them as camouflage. Since then, these documents have been sealed in private rooms for more than 900 years and become famous Dunhuang suicide notes at home and abroad.

Cultural heritage, Chinese is conceptually divided into "tangible cultural heritage" and "intangible cultural heritage". "Tangible cultural heritage" refers to "cultural heritage" in the traditional sense. The four cultural heritages mentioned above are all tangible cultural heritages.
