Description:	As a country with a long history, China has a very rich tangible and intangible cultural heritage. This chapter describes the perceptions of tangible cultural heritage in different periods of Chinese history. For further information about the protection of China’s intangible cultural heritage, such as folklore, traditional music, opera, and dance, see Kang (2011) and Wu (2010). In the first section of this chapter, we discuss the attitudes in the early historic era about cultural objects and cultural heritage. In the second section, we explain why the actions of foreigners during the late 1800s with respect to China’s cultural property are important to relate. In some respects, the worst damage to cultural heritage occurred during the early modern era in China. The third section outlines major changes in attitudes and practices with respect to cultural heritage protection during the past several years. We discuss improvements in cultural heritage protection that have been made as well as current challenges.
