A Review on the Post-Earthquake Emergency Conservation Project of Fulong Taoist Temple

The post-earthquake emergency conservation project for the Fulong Taoist Temple, part of the UNESCO-listed Dujiangyan Irrigation System, demonstrated rapid and effective restoration of cultural heritage. Damaged by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the temple was fully restored in just 18 months using innovative conservation principles and techniques. This review highlights the project's historical significance, as recognized by the Asia-Pacific Heritage Protection Award, and provides insights into its technical methods. The successful restoration underscores the importance of emergency conservation strategies for preserving cultural heritage in disaster-prone regions.
