Editing Relic (section)

==Cultural relics==
''Relic'' is also the term for something that has survived the passage of time, especially an object or custom whose original culture has disappeared, but also an object cherished for historical or memorial value (such as a keepsake or heirloom).

"Cultural relic" is a common translation for {{transliteration|zh|wenwu}} ({{lang|zh|[[:wikt:文物|文物]]}}), a common Chinese word that usually means "[[antique]]" but can be extended to anything, including object and [[monument]], that is of historical and cultural value. However, this has some issues since the term {{transliteration|zh|wenwu}} has little resemblance to the English usage of "relic". In most cases, "artifact", "archaeological site", "monument", or just plain "archaeology" would be a better translation.{{cn|date=October 2022}}
