The Xinjian County Museum, established in 1987 and concurrently incorporated as the Xinjian County Cultural Relics Management Office, is responsible for the collection, preservation, and management of the county's cultural relics. Affiliated with the County Culture, Radio, Television, and Tourism Bureau, the museum consistently adheres to the principles of "protection first, rescue first" and "effective protection, rational utilization, and strengthened management" in its cultural relic preservation efforts. It maintains a "four-have" archive for all provincial, municipal, and county-level cultural relic protection sites in the county, and maintains electronic documentation for national-level third-level and higher cultural relics.
To ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the free admission program, local finances allocated a one-time 300,000 yuan for the construction of supporting facilities and the updating of exhibition displays. The third national cultural relics survey of Xinjian County was launched. The goal was to comprehensively assess Xinjian County's cultural heritage resources and provide a scientific basis for decision-making on cultural heritage preservation. Based on practical considerations and fully exploring the unique regional culture, survey personnel visited over 40 villages and interviewed over 300 informants throughout the county. They reviewed 29 cultural relics sites and discovered over 30 new valuable ones.
