Commemorates China Intangible Cultural Heritage Day

Wearing Hanfu, giving lectures on Chinese studies, listening to Kunqu opera... Recently In recent years, the upsurge in paying attention to traditional culture has continued to rise. Correspondingly, the protection of various intangible cultural heritage issues has attracted more and more attention.

With the arrival of "China Intangible Cultural Heritage Day" on June 13, Nansi Village in Zhao County has entered the third batch of recommended intangible cultural heritage projects in Hebei Province... the so-called "Local culture" is coming to the real stage and getting closer to us.

"Local" culture is valued

When young people are keen on KFC and McDonald's, and are obsessed with "foreign martial arts" Taekwondo, they are eager to go abroad to get gold and study IELTS, When taking the TOEFL, who is willing to take another look at traditional national culture? When American MBAs and the magic of Hollywood gradually become the spiritual sustenance of Chinese young people, the civilization that China has inherited for thousands of years seems to have been thrown into a corner. Perhaps, only when the "original ecology" is put on the stage, people suddenly realize that China's "local" culture is quite interesting.

In the 1970s, there were still 8,000 languages ??spoken around the world. However, after changes in the world, there are only more than 6,000 existing languages. Our intangible cultural heritage is growing at an alarming rate. It is dying, because it is intangible, invisible, and intangible. It must be passed down through inheritors, so it is lost all the time.

In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to intangible cultural heritage. China already has the largest number of intangible cultural heritage items in the world. There are currently nearly 1,200 items in total, and with continuous applications, this number is still increasing.

Can it be "fashionable"

As people's values ??and aesthetics change, new elements are bound to be added to traditional "intangible cultural heritage" forms, and many intangible cultural heritages have been improved. The later appearance not only makes people's eyes brighter, but also gives businesses more opportunities to make money. Therefore, many "original ecology" have lost their shape and are increasingly labeled as fashionable trademarks and painted with utilitarian colors. . Snuff bottles, which were originally famous for their excellent craftsmanship and skillful techniques, were once replaced by computer reproductions, which embarrassed many collectors because computer reproduction techniques made the "fake snuff bottles" look real and beautiful, but It is far from the value of the genuine article, which is very detrimental to the protection of real "intangible cultural heritage".

In fact, when many people are busy learning "imported culture", they ignore the essence of the Chinese culture around them. When they think that their own culture is crude, "foreigners" are facing the Chinese Tradition is favored. Intangible cultural heritage may not be another fashion with rich connotations.

"Intangible Cultural Heritage" Spiritual Home

Dancing lanterns, making tea, paper-cut embroidery, weaving and cooking, etc. are "buried" in people's daily necessities, food, housing, transportation, entertainment and leisure. The title of "material cultural heritage" came to life. Many of the traditional skills that have been passed down for thousands of years are still alive and well today, making people feel more intimate and sigh that they have given traditional culture endless life.

The scope of intangible cultural heritage includes: poems, myths, epics, stories, legends, and proverbs that have been passed down orally for a long time among the people; traditional music, dance, drama, folk arts, acrobatics, puppets, and shadow puppets and other folk performing arts; life rituals, annual activities, festival celebrations, folk sports and competitions, and other customs related to production and life passed down from generation to generation by the general public; traditional folk knowledge and practices about nature and the universe; traditional handicraft skills; and cultural venues related to the above-mentioned cultural expressions, etc.

It can be seen that Jin Opera, clay molds, Xinle stone carvings, Zhengding Festival, Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, etc., and even solar terms such as "Winter Solstice" are all intangible cultural heritage. Therefore, "intangible cultural heritage" is everywhere, and "intangible cultural heritage" is our spiritual home.

Looking for the intangible cultural heritage around you

Every relic has accumulated the traces of time and recorded the stunning national aesthetics.

When we combed through it carefully, we were surprised to realize that there were actually some intangible cultural heritage hidden in our daily lives.

Cheongsam

Haute couture, a French luxury import that has often appeared in various domestic newspapers in recent years, seems to have nothing to do with the protection of intangible cultural heritage. However, if you look back at the origin and development history of advanced customization, you will find that it also embodies the imprint of human civilization and handed down skills. Cheongsam is one type of advanced customization. A real cheongsam requires hand-made customization. Only the "body measurement" step requires measuring more than 30 places on the whole body. However, with the impact of mass fashion and the accelerated pace of life, the production skills of cheongsam are now on the verge of being lost.

Traditional Brewing Technique

Liquor brewing technique is the quintessence of China. Traditional brewing techniques mainly include: reasonable proportioning of the five grains of sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn, brewing techniques such as blending according to quality, raw wine aging techniques, blending techniques, and related special techniques. The entire production process has more than 100 procedures and three major processes: koji making, brewing, and blending.

Traditional wine-making technology is an extremely special and complex process, embodying the essence of many traditional folk crafts. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of brewers of all generations over thousands of years, and it is also a vivid history of liquor brewing and national integration. Even today, this traditional craft still plays an irreplaceable role. It is an extremely precious intangible cultural heritage in the world's wine industry.

Hanging oven pancakes

In the third batch of provincial "intangible cultural heritage" projects in Hebei Province, familiar traditional food production techniques like handmade noodles also appeared. For example, Huanghua's artificial salt-making techniques, hanging stove pancake making techniques, Lulong vermicelli traditional processing techniques, and honey sesame candy making techniques have also been successfully promoted to the intangible cultural heritage list.

These techniques have a long history, and they all have a set of traditional production techniques. The entire production process is all manual. Among them, Diaolu Shaobing was founded in the early 20th century and has a history of nearly a hundred years. It is very popular among people because of its excellent production, exquisite materials, crispy outside and tender inside, crispy and delicious.

Kun Opera

When young people’s ears are filled with pop music, how much space is left for opera that was once a national symbol?

Kun Opera's melodious and long-lasting "Water Mill" aria, singing and dancing performances, magnificent costumes, and soothing rhythms bring us closer to the ancients, interpreting the past and reflecting the present.

The slow rhythm of Kun Opera is indeed a big contrast to modern people who have no time to dream. Watching it occasionally can provide a reference for our lives, experience a feeling and a dream, and gain a sense of Inspired by this, let our lives be lighter and purer.

Open Kun Opera, travel through the lingering history of the ages, and experience the protagonist's joys and sorrows. The boundaries between the past and the present are blurred, and time has no edge. It is a beautiful enjoyment!
