Core Viewpoint - The resilience protection system is essential for the rapid response and adaptive management of cultural heritage in the face of climate change and external shocks [1][2] Group 1: Climate Change Impact - Climate change poses a significant threat to cultural heritage, affecting temperature and precipitation averages over time, as well as their variability [1] - Different regions and materials (such as soil, wood, brick, stone) require tailored responses to climate change, with a particular focus on the over 80% of earthen sites in China [1] Group 2: Restoration and Preservation Techniques - Restoration is crucial for recovering the original appearance of cultural artifacts, while also enhancing their resilience against external shocks and erosion [1] - Modern restoration emphasizes detailed scientific exploration, testing, research, and evaluation before applying various restoration measures, moving beyond mere restoration to strengthening the artifacts [1] Group 3: Environmental Considerations - The protection of cultural heritage must include the safeguarding of surrounding environments, as many ancient buildings are integrated with their surroundings [2] - There is a consensus on the need to study the safety of the environments where cultural artifacts are located [2] Group 4: Technological Integration - Current technology is no longer a limiting factor for protection, but the disconnect between technology application and cultural heritage preservation remains an issue [2] - A comprehensive understanding of the value, characteristics, and properties of cultural artifacts is necessary to effectively utilize technology for early diagnosis of deterioration and enhance monitoring capabilities [2] Group 5: Goals of the Resilience Protection System - The resilience protection system aims to maximize the self-healing and sustainable development capabilities of cultural artifacts in response to external shocks [2] - It requires a shift from reactive "emergency restoration" to proactive "adaptive maintenance," necessitating improved knowledge and understanding of cultural heritage [2] - There is a need to integrate existing cultural heritage protection data and systems, establishing cross-disciplinary collaboration platforms for data sharing and resource coordination [2]

Group 1: Climate Change Impact on Cultural Heritage - One-sixth of the world's cultural heritage is threatened by climate change, with extreme weather and ecological imbalance causing significant damage [1] - In Shanxi, 1,783 cultural relics were affected by unusual heavy rainfall in October 2021, including 61 sections of the World Heritage site Pingyao Ancient City, which suffered structural collapses [2][3] - Long-term climate changes can gradually damage cultural relics, with a 1°C increase in global average temperature leading to a 20%-25% reduction in wood strength and a 30% increase in stone weathering rates [3][4] Group 2: Challenges in Cultural Heritage Preservation - Approximately 10% of registered protected buildings in China have gradually disappeared since the 21st century, with about 2,000 heritage buildings lost each year [4] - The shift from passive restoration to proactive maintenance is necessary for cultural heritage protection, emphasizing the need for innovative technologies and risk awareness [5][6] - There is a shortage of professionals skilled in both technology and restoration theory, which hampers preventive protection efforts [7][8] Group 3: Resilience Protection Systems - A resilience protection system is needed for ancient buildings to adapt to external shocks and environmental changes [9][10] - This system should integrate monitoring and predictive analysis capabilities, enhancing both the resilience of cultural heritage and its surrounding environment [10][11] - Establishing a comprehensive lifecycle protection system is essential for the longevity and stability of ancient buildings, requiring collaboration across various sectors and the involvement of research institutions and universities [12]
