The large -scale and abundant grotto temples are the historical relics with clear inheritance, closely correlation, and complete system. They are also the best cultural relics categories of authenticity and integrity, and they occupy an important position in Chinese cultural heritage. The protection and utilization of the cave temple is an important part of the Chinese cultural self -confidence strategy. However, with the passage of time, the diseases such as the weathered and seepage of the grotto have affected the preservation of the cave temple.

In recent years, the State Administration of Cultural Relics has increased the protection of grotto temples with relevant departments and local party committees and governments, completed the first special survey of the Grottoes Temple in Chinese history, strengthened institutional construction, promoted scientific research, promote exchanges and mutual learning, expanded activation and utilization, promoted China Grottoes Temple protection and utilization have made great progress.

During this academic seminar, more than 30 first -class experts and scholars from the protection of domestic grotto temples shared the experience of the protection of Grotto Temple. Topics such as technology, murals and color plastic protection, protection effect monitoring and evaluation, and art archeology, communicate and discuss through special invitation reports, special reports and other forms, summarize the successful practice of cave temples, analyze common key technical problems, study scientific and effective solution Plan, explore the direction of future development trends.

According to Li Fangyin, the dean and researcher of the Dazu Stone Carvings Research Institute, in order to rescue the exquisite statues in the Great Football Stone Carvings Cave, since the 1980s, cultural relics workers have developed the grotto rock fissure chemical grouting materials in the wet environment, and dug drain tunnels, etc. The method of governance is very obvious, so that the statues of this section of the cave, including this cave, have been well protected. Li Fangyin admits that theoretically, the disappearance of cultural heritage is just a matter of time. There is almost no way to completely prevent natural weathering. The current protection measures cannot prevent the disappearance of the ruins, but just delay the pace of natural disappearance. "When we have such a cognition, we have more awe of the ruins, to overcome all difficulties, try everything, and continue the life of these historical ruins."

Sun Hua, director and professor of academic committees of Peking University Archaeological Board Academy, spoke on the title of "The Basis of Cave Protection -Grottoes Archeology". , Sichuan has a large number of distinctive grotto temples. There is a relationship between these grotto temples. There are central temples and affiliated temples in different periods, and ancient roads connect these temples. To investigate these ancient roads, repair and use these ancient roads as trails for tourism research, should be a job that costs small and effective. He suggested: "Cave protection experts should formulate or adjust cultural relics protection planning and protection plan according to the latest discovery and research results of the archeology of the grotto, so as to achieve the best protection effect."
