习近平就做好考古和历史研究工作提出4点要求。

Stressing that there is still a long way to go to unveil ancient Chinese history, he called on archaeologists to continue forging ahead, explore the unknown and reveal the origins. He stressed focusing on major archaeological research programs, and concentrate resources to achieve new breakthroughs.
一是要继续探索未知、揭示本源。我国古代历史还有许多未知领域，考古工作任重道远。要实施好重大项目，集中力量攻关，不断取得新突破。

Xi urged solid work in excavating, sorting out and interpreting archaeological findings. The archaeological circle should work with researchers in the fields of economy, law, politics, culture, society, ecology, science and technology, and medicine, to ensure sound research and interpretation of unearthed cultural relics and sites so as to present the origin and development of the Chinese civilization and its major contributions to humanity more clearly and comprehensively, he said.
二是要做好考古成果的挖掘、整理、阐释工作。考古学界要会同经济、法律、政治、文化、社会、生态、科技、医学等领域研究人员，做好出土文物和遗址的研究阐释工作，把我国文明起源和发展以及对人类的重大贡献更加清晰、更加全面地呈现出来。

Xi stressed the need to enhance the protection of historical and cultural heritage, and boost archaeological capacity building and disciplines development. Efforts are needed to cultivate a larger pool of archaeological personnel and inculcate love and devotion toward archaeological undertakings among young people, he noted.
三是要搞好历史文化遗产保护工作。四是要加强考古能力建设和学科建设。要积极培养壮大考古队伍，让更多年轻人热爱、投身考古事业，让考古事业后继有人、人才辈出。

Xi also called for strengthened dissemination of archaeological and historical research findings through an in-depth study of history. He urged further efforts to guide the people, especially young people, to better understand the origin and development history of Chinese civilization, and conduct international exchanges to let the rest of the world know more about Chinese civilization, history and national spirit.
习近平强调，要通过深入学习历史，加强考古成果和历史研究成果的传播，教育引导广大干部群众特别是青少年认识中华文明起源和发展的历史脉络，通过交流研讨等方式，向国际社会展示博大精深的中华文明，让世界了解中国历史、了解中华民族精神。

Xi asked Party committees and governments at all levels to pay attention to archaeologists and actively provide personnel, material and financial support to create favorable conditions for archaeological undertakings, cultural relics protection and historical research.
各级党委和政府要牢固树立保护历史文化遗产责任重大的观念，关心爱护考古工作者，积极提供人力、物力、财力等方面的支持，为考古事业、文物保护、历史研究创造良好条件。
