More focus on cultural relics as a 5-year survey is completed
China's cultural relics now have national ID cards. A report by the State Council on Friday shows that there are 108 million moveable cultural relics in State-owned institutions on the Chinese mainland, based on a five-year national study, the first since the founding of New China in 1949.
And 64,073,178 of them are in a national database, under 15 categories.
Each item has a unique code in the database, and more than 50 million pictures of them have been uploaded to the system.
