THE Palace Museum unveiled a monitoring center yesterday that will coordinate the management of cultural heritage and provide a systematic database for the protection of the museum.
The monitoring management includes devising working rules, monitoring technical criterion, providing warning standards, making plans for cultural protection, and completing the monitoring network.
Shan Jixiang, director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, said at a ceremony that the monitoring center was established under the administration and "special fees" had also been set up for the protection of world cultural heritage.
"China is determined to improve the protection of cultural heritage and will set up a warning system for world cultural heritage during the next five years," Shan said.
The Palace Museum was listed as a World Heritage Site in 1987 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. It preserves a large collection of priceless cultural and historical relics.
In August, museum director Zheng Xinmiao said that careless staffers damaged three relics that date to the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Two ritual implements suffered damage in May 2004, and a flower receptacle was damaged in 2009.
