BEIJING, Aug. 2 (Xinhua) — Chinese and Kyrgyz experts completed a survey project of ancient settlements in the Chu River basin in the third ten days of July, according to a statement released on the website of the Dunhuang Academy.
As part of the project, which lasted from July 16 to 25, employees of the Dunhuang Academy and the Ministry of Culture, Information and Youth Policy of Kyrgyzstan visited Ak-Beshim and 15 other medieval cultural monuments.
They systematized data on the geographical location of the named ruins, their historical form, construction technology and current state. Thanks to this, a database was created on a group of cultural monuments in the Chu River basin, which will allow for scientific support for subsequent archaeological research and planning of measures for their preservation.
The project, according to the Dunhuang Academy, not only strengthened mutual trust and cooperation between China and Kyrgyzstan in the field of archaeological research and cultural heritage protection, but also laid the foundation for the establishment of a regional mechanism for the protection of cultural heritage.
Let us recall that in 2017, the Academy already signed a memorandum of cooperation with Kyrgyzstan and sent experts to the ancient settlement in the Naryn region of Kyrgyzstan to study the possibilities of its preservation.
This year, the China-Kyrgyzstan Joint Laboratory for the Protection of Cultural Heritage was founded, which opened on the basis of the Dunhuang Academy and the Ministry of Culture, Information and Youth Policy of Kyrgyzstan, respectively.
The Dunhuang Academy is a cultural relics conservation institution with a history of over 80 years. It manages the Mogao Grottoes, Maijishan and other UNESCO World Heritage sites. The academy's technology in preserving murals and rammed earth ruins is among the most advanced in the world. The similar types of cultural heritage and climate conditions of Dunhuang and Kyrgyzstan have laid the foundation for cooperation between the two sides. -0-
