The list of Chinese cultural relics forbidden to be exhibited abroad comprises a list of antiquities and archaeological artefacts held by various museums and other institutions in the People's Republic of China, which the Chinese government has officially prohibited, since 2003, from being taken abroad for exhibition. Many of the relics on the list symbolize the breakthrough of archaeological discoveries that were made in China since the mid-20th century, when archaeology as a modern science began to take a footing in China. These items are among the most important excavated treasures in China, and have a particular historical, cultural or artistic significance. In June 2012, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage announced the second batch of 37 cultural relics forbidden to be exhibited abroad, covering paintings and works of calligraphy. In August 2013, a third batch of 94 items were announced, most of which are treasures excavated at archaeological sites. ==Government regulations prohibiting exhibition abroad== According to Article 49 of the ''Regulations for the Implementation of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Protection of Cultural Relics'' (State Council Decree No.377) promulgated on 18 May 2003:
A first list of sixty-four cultural relics that are forbidden to be exhibited abroad was published by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage on 19 January 2002 (a year before the above regulation was enacted). In addition to the list of items explicitly prohibited from being exhibited abroad, cultural relics that fall within one of the following five categories are also prohibited from being exhibited outside of China: * ancient human remains * the main object of reverence at a place of religious observation * first-grade cultural relics that are unique and easily damaged * objects listed in the catalogue of cultural relics that are prohibited from being exhibited abroad * cultural relics that are not suitable to be exhibited abroad because of their state of preservation Furthermore, cultural relics may not be sent abroad for exhibition if they have not previously been officially exhibited within China.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Chinese cultural relics forbidden to be exhibited abroad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
