Abstract:The 21st century is an age of cultural economy. Cultural resources are the premise and foundation of cultural industry and cultural undertakings. Cultural resources are not only carrying a country and a nation’s material achievements and spiritual pursuit but also realizing its wealth value by trade. Cultural resources need to be developed effectively and to be protected more reasonably. In Rome law, the classification of tradable and non-tradable contents, the type standard of public, shared, common, and private property, provides scientific theory for property ownership of cultural resources and the right holder’s interests. It plays an important role in confirming property ownership of culture resources, maintaining the relevant rights and interests of the cultural resources rights subject and defining its rights flow and trading rules.
