"Sanyuanguan Temple Fair" originated in the first year of Han 'an in Shun Di in the Eastern Han Dynasty (142). When the world was in chaos, the local people built a temple in Shayang market town, offering sacrifices regularly to protect the gods. Subsequently, fish, crabs and aquatic products from rice, bamboo forests in mountainous areas, East and West Lake and other places gathered in Shayang for exchange and distribution, and the temple fair gradually became a symbol integrating religious culture, production and trade. Since then, every year on the third day of the third lunar month and the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, villagers in Fiona Fang Baili will come to burn incense and sacrifice, which has long been a tradition and has been preserved to this day.
In 2000, Shayang Town established a leading group for the protection of intangible cultural heritage, and is making a protection plan for intangible cultural heritage, conducting a general survey of intangible cultural heritage and establishing a representative directory system of intangible cultural heritage.
In 2002, the State Council promulgated the Regulations on the Protection of Traditional Arts and Crafts. Since 2003, the Ministry of Culture and the Education, Science, Culture and Health Committee of the National People's Congress have organized and drafted the Law on the Protection of Folk Traditional Culture in People's Republic of China (PRC) (Draft), and its name has been changed to the Law on the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage in People's Republic of China (PRC). In 2004, the legislative work leading group composed of the National People's Congress, Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, Ministry of Culture and other departments is further revising and perfecting this draft law. In May 2005, Shayang Town Government of Shayang County put forward relevant regulations on the protection of intangible cultural heritage:

At present, many universities in China have set up special institutions to study intangible cultural heritage. For example, Peking University World Heritage Research Center, Nanjing University Cultural and Natural Heritage Research Center, Fudan University Cultural Heritage Research Center and Central Academy of Fine Arts have also established intangible cultural heritage research centers. In June, 2002, 5438+ 10, the first seminar on intangible cultural heritage education was held in China universities, and then the Declaration on Intangible Cultural Heritage Education was adopted, which expounded the role that China universities and the current education system should play in the investigation, research and development of national folk culture, and pointed out that the inheritance education of intangible cultural heritage should be implemented in the discipline innovation and curriculum reform of universities. 5, organize forces to conduct a nationwide survey of intangible cultural heritage, find out the family background.
