Therefore, it is urgent to draw up measures such as systemic research, support and management system of state-designated cultural property. Third, the strategies and tasks for 『Muyedobotongji』 to be designated as state-designated cultural property are as follows. ① It is necessary to research the values of designating 『Muyedobotongji』 as state-designated cultural property. ② There should be the integration of professional human resources training to overcome 『Muyedobotongji』's limit of municipal･provincial intangible cultural asset. ③ There should be historical investigation on costumes and weapons of 『Muyedobotongji』. ④ There should be practice standardization of techniques and movements of 『Muyedobotongji』. ⑤ It is necessary to establish close cooperation with the government and academic world. ⑥ It is necessary to set a base for 『Muyedobotongji』 to be listed on Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
