Two Paradigms of Cultural Heritage Education and Management: China's Practice and Enlightenment in University

With the heating up of world-wide heritage preservation movement, cultural heritage education is becoming a hot topic concerned by the whole society. Since 1980s, the related discussions about heritage research and heritage education have been carried out in our country. Throughout the present situation and recent studies of current universities' heritage education, there are two principal practical methods, one is focused on heritage itself, and the other is concentrated on heritage subjects. However, it pays little attention to the systematic and integrity of heritage education. In view of this, it is recommended to take the higher education reform as a chance, and push forward the disciplinary construction of heritage education, especially strengthen the normal education of cultural heritage, then promote the simultaneous development between heritage education practice and theoretical studies.
