Features: It is pointed out that cultural heritage is a gift from the past to the present and the future, and it should also be a gift from the present to the future. Rapid urbanization and booming tourism should become the foundation for creating future cultural heritage. Those who adhere to this concept will find that economic development will become a disaster for culture. Throughout the long course of historical development, in the relationship between humans and nature, countless civilizations have emerged, and splendid cultural relics have survived to this day, leaving successors in awe and admiration. The establishment of the World Heritage system systematically showcases the achievements of civilization, proposes urgent protection requirements, and also poses a severe challenge to contemporary people: Can we live up to our ancestors and leave no regrets for our descendants? The inheritance of civilization cannot be broken in the hands of contemporary people. At the same time, we face an even more severe challenge: World natural heritage is a gift from heaven to humanity, and world cultural heritage is what our ancestors left behind. What is the historical responsibility of contemporary people? We cannot only preserve fragments of civilization; what kind of civilization can we create? What legacy should we leave for future generations? The contemporary era is an age of large-scale construction. We cannot only leave behind construction waste. While meeting the direct material needs of contemporary people, can we create more culture and form future cultural heritage? This is the starting point of this research report, and it is also hoped to become a direction for development, or even a development goal.
