遗产保护学的遗产,是应该完成了代际传承,具有珍稀性和典范性的自然演进的遗留或人类创造的遗存.文化遗产应该具有年代价值,没有完成代际传递的当代创造物不能作为遗产.文化遗产也应该具有稀缺价值,当代仍然流行的事物没有必要作为遗产保护,"20世纪遗产"等遗产类型的概念应当慎用.文化遗产学是研究如何保护和传承先辈创造和使用事物的学问,与自然遗产学一样,是遗产保护学的两大分支,属于交叉学科.文化遗产学的主要研究内容是文化遗产的类型、价值、保护和管理.%The term heritage in the domain of cultural heritage studies refers to cultural or natural sites, which have passed on from generation to generation, and possess characteristics of scarcity and representativeness. Cultural heritage bears chronological values, thus contemporary creations that have not completed the process of passing on from generation to generation cannot be treated as heritage. Cultural heritage shall also possess the value of scarcity, and therefore things that are still trendy in the contemporary age are not necessarily preserved as heritage. So concepts and terms such as heritage of 20th century should be used and treated cautiously. Cultural heritage study is a subject that focuses on how to protect and pass on heritages created by our ancestors. Together with natural heritage studies, they are two main branches of heritage studies, and they are both subjects with overlaps with other domains. The main research directions of cultural heritage study are categorization of cultural heritage, values of cultural heritage, protection and management of cultural heritage.
