ABSTRACT
The World Heritage List is not a lifelong system. A heritage item successfully joining The World Heritage List does not mean that it can “sleep without any worries”. We all know that the World Heritage not only has strict selection conditions and evaluation standards, but also more continued thorough supervision and inspection system which includes reactive detection and systematic detection. The World Heritage Convention and Guide to Action all require the charter nations to have a regular comprehensive professional assessment for the status of World Heritage in their own countries and submit a detailed report [6] to the World Heritage Committee (this is the systematic detection). The World Heritage Committee organizes experts to inspect and evaluate the World Heritage item, and then takes corresponding measures according to the situation of the assessment. If the situation is too bad and difficult to change, the international community will supervise and help the host nation. If the World Heritage is threatened by serious special dangers, it will be listed in the List of World Heritage in Danger. At last, if the heritage is indeed unable to stop the heritage value loss and deterioration of the environment, it will be removed from World Heritage List and the List of World Heritage in Danger (this is reactive detection) [7]
3 ON TOURISM RESOURCES IN ZUOJIANG RIVER HUASHAN AREA AND APPLICATION FOR WORLD HERITAGE OF HRPS
3.1 General situations of tourism resources in Zuojiang River Huashan area
Zuojiang Huashan is located in South Asian tropical regions and rich in tourism resources: 1. The great variety of natural tourism resources. Zuojiang and its branch river Mingjiang have peculiar karst landscape and beautiful scenery. Many river reaches have peaks skyrocketing, cliffs confronting, and mist floating. The scenery is like poem and painting, it is not the Lijiang River but like the Lijiang River, it is not small Three Gorges but exceeds small Three Gorges. It is called the Thyme Landscape Gallery. 2. Strong Zhuang folk customs tourism resources. The Zhuangs’ population accounts for more than 90% in the Zuojiang River basin. It is one of the famous Zhuang nationality concentrated residences. There are many Zhuang villages built along the river. The people in the village are simple and sincere. Zhuang custom is strong, of which the most famous is Singing Fair Day. 3. The valuable HRPs culture tourism resources. In Zuojiang and Mingjiang, a large number of ancient rock paintings are on rock cliffs on both sides of the rivers. Because the size of Ningming rock paintings is the biggest, portrait is maximum and the content is the richest, rock paintings on Zuojiang River and its branches are collectively called as HRP or Huashan cliff painting. The contents of these HRPs are mostly portraits, there are also bronze drum, bronze bell, horses, dogs, other animals, and some weapons. Mysterious ancient rock paintings and unique Zhuang nationality ethnic styles bring out the best to each other, add radiance and beauty to each other. According to historical records, HRPs were found by people in the Southern Song Dynasty period. Mysteries have existed for a long time on who the artists were, when, how and through what way they were painted, and what contents were painted. For decades after the founding of P.R. China, experts and scholars in China and abroad have come to explore and research the area to solve the riddle of HRPs. At the same time the HRPs also attracted a large number of tourists to visit.
