“蜀道”作为重要文化线路具有申报世界文化遗产的潜在价值,有必要组织多学科的学术研究队伍对“蜀道”进行研究。本文从“蜀道”的含义、“蜀道”的路线、“蜀道”的文化保护以及“蜀道”的申遗问题等方面进行了探讨。蜀道申报世界文化遗产并不是最终目的,未来申报世界文化遗产成功也并不代表着蜀道保护、研究任务的结束,而是通过申报世界文化遗产的行动,使蜀道文化线路得到了有效保护,并建立起日常保护和监测的长效机制。 “Shudao ” has the potential value of declaring the world cultural heritage as an important cultural route. It is necessary to organize a multidisciplinary academic research team to study “Shu Road”. This paper discusses the meaning of “Shu Dao ”, the route of “Shu Dao ”, the cultural protection of “Shu Dao” and the application of “Shu Dao ”. The declaration of World Heritage Site by Shudao is not the ultimate goal. The successful application of World Heritage Site in the future does not represent the end of the protection of Shudao and the completion of the research mission. Instead, it has effectively protected Shudao Culture Line by declaring World Cultural Heritage , And establish a long-term mechanism for routine protection and monitoring.
