c. what is the definition and classification of cultural relics?
d. to whom do cultural relics belong?

c. each kind of relics preserves some aspect of cultural heritage and each relic is still a unique cultural expression and contributions.

a: what should we do?
b: can we keep it for ourselves or report it to the government?
