How to inherit folklore more confidence

Once upon a time, we farther away from traditional folklore until a certain moment, our hearts were hit again.

A few months ago, the Chinese people re -be stunned at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics and the closing ceremony of the Winter Paralympic Games.

What new thinking can inherit the folk customs now? We need to regain cultural self -confidence. The reporter interviewed Bi Xuling, an associate researcher at the Institute of Literature of Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, and director of the non -heritage research office.

Only the nation is the world

Liberation Monday: As a folk scholar, when you see the countdown to see the "twenty -four solar terms" theme, how do you feel?

Bi Xuling: Regarding the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, many media interpretations are already wonderful. One of my core feelings seems to be an old saying, "only the nation is the world."

There are many nations in the world, and the culture of each nation is an organic component of world culture. There is no world without a nation. This sentence is also established. It is like no water droplets in the sea, and forests cannot be like trees.

But it is not enough to realize that this layer means. When a nation has a cultural consciousness, we must find a way to implement it. On the one hand, on the one hand, we must deeply understand and tap the cultural accumulation of the nation, and on the other hand, we must integrate into the entire world and find a suitable way to integrate the national culture and world culture.

From this perspective, the interpretation and interpretation of the "24 solar terms" related cultural connotation at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games and the closing ceremony of the Winter Paralympic Games is well grasped. The beauty of the four seasons of all mankind has been refined from a unique perspective from a unique perspective, supplemented by fresh, romantic and fashionable expression. The rhythm of the sound and painting should be fully with the psychological rhythm of contemporary people, making audiences from all over the world. Basically, understand and accept, and lay the foundation for further communication and exchanges between each other.

In fact, it is not easy to find the road of national culture with world culture and integration.

Take our country, since the New Cultural Movement, we have gone through the path of continuous self -criticism and self -denial of the existing cultural traditions. It is not until the 1980s that Western ideology and culture have continued to influx, and we have slowly have The awareness of "finding self", while embracing the wave of globalization, you must never forget to find the foundation and confidence from the traditional Chinese culture.

Another challenge for protecting the foundation and confidence of national culture comes from the process of urbanization. Urbanization can promote people to live a more modern urban life, but also greatly changes the space entity of the city. Many times, countless details constitute culture. Once the entity (including architecture, streets, and residential houses, etc.), the culture itself has changed, and the culture itself will not escape the fate of loss. At the beginning of the 21st century, the Chinese Folk Literature and Artists Association launched the "Chinese Folk Cultural Heritage Rescue Project", which is based on the consciousness and awareness of the above issues. The collection of essays and video records of the rescue project has become a very important research material for my country's folk culture inheritance and protection.

For the inheritance and protection of my country's folk culture, a very important thing happened in the early 21st century, that is, my country has joined the Convention on the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage for UNESCO. In the process of the revival of traditional culture and regaining self -confidence, the top -down non -heritage protection campaign with the concept of the convention as the core concept has played a very important role in promoting. Like the twenty -four solar terms, it became the 31st project in my country in 2016 that was selected by the United Nations Education and Sciences and was included in the "Representative List of Human Intangible Cultural Heritage" (hereinafter referred to as the "Representative List").

Liberation Monday: What does it mean for "Twenty -Four solar terms" to be included in the List of "Representative Works"?

Bi Xuling: The "Twenty -Four Solar terms" was selected for the "Representative Work List", which means that the UNESCO recognizes the project to help improve humanity to protect intangible cultural heritage and its importance, and also reflects the international community The emphasis on the protection of "traditional knowledge and practical" intangible cultural heritage, and pay attention to the sustainable development of culture, economy and environment.

Confidence originated from cognitive improvement

Liberation Monday: After being recognized by the List of "Representative Works", how should we act, so that this project is better protected and inherited?

Bi Xuling: Before the "Twenty -Four Solar terms" successfully joined the "Representative List", the project experienced a process of evolution from national projects to world -class projects. In the process, we have further sorting and recognition of the connotation and value of the "twenty -four solar terms". The improvement of cognition is the basis of better protection and inheritance.

"Spring rain is shocked to clear the sky in the spring, summer and summer are connected. The autumn is descending in autumn, and the winter snow and snow and winter are small." Among the twenty -four solar terms in Langlang, 28 Chinese characters represent the Chinese nation continued for thousands of years. wisdom. Two quarters each month, about 15 days separately, each solar term is summarized by three main waiting characteristics ... "Twenty -four solar terms" put the sun's movement track on the sky, which is the average divided into 24 copies on average Essence Based on this scientific "schedule", the ancient Chinese arranged a year of agricultural activities and daily life in reasonable and effectively, and developed a deep traditional culture associated with solar terms. And the formation of traditional Chinese festivals is mostly related to solar terms, and some directly originate from a certain solar term. The festival and solar terms are overlapping, and it carries more regions and different times of belief in different times, diet, and celebrating entertainment. After a long historical development, the "twenty -four solar terms" have become a cognitive cultural system shared by the Chinese nation, condensing the ethical emotions, life consciousness, aesthetic taste and belief of the people of all ethnic groups. The "heaven and man unite" thoughts that contain respect for nature, imitate nature, love nature, use nature, and help nature are the essence of Chinese culture. At the moment when the global ecological environment is deteriorating and sustainable development, it still has a crisis in crisis. Important universal significance and sharing value.

The above content can be said to be the results of our in -depth research after the "twenty -four solar terms". The summary and refinement of related humanistic connotations also laid the foundation for better protection and inheritance in the future. However, from the perspective of strengthening cultural self -confidence and more deeply with world civilization, it is not enough to have the above understanding.

Either the publication or the perfect interpretation of the event. Strictly speaking, it still belongs to the general cultural popularization. A more important step is to look at the cultural heritage that the ancestors left to us to the future development of our society, the relationship between the people and nature of the future processing and nature And how to deal with the relationship between my country and other countries and regions in the world.

After horizontal comparison, we can find that in fact, the processes between different civilizations of human beings are similar. For example, many ancient civilization ancestors also established the winter solstice and summer solstice through the observation and summary of the rating of the sun, such as the Babylonians. But the Huaxia ancestors did not stop here. They first divided the spring equinox and autumn equinox on the basis of the winter and summer solstice, and then determined that Lichun, Lixia, Liqiu, and Lidong, until the entire 24 dharma division was completed, and in the long history of history Continue to extend rich cultural content.

After vertical comparison, we can also find that although my country has developed a rich cultural complex around the "Twenty -Four solar terms", and makes it an important cultural tool for strengthening the awareness of the Chinese community, in ancient China Without the continuous pursuit of scientific methods based on other civilizations in the world, it has developed a developed scientific civilization. In other words, the scientific concepts, scientific ideas and scientific knowledge behind the "twenty -four solar terms" should also be valued and excavated. This is especially important for children in my country.

In order to help children understand in depth, in addition to bringing them to understand the evolution of ancient observation methods today, the evolution of scientific concepts and methodology behind them, we can also inspire different paths that they compare the evolution of different civilizations of human beings. I believe that with similar thinking enlightenment and expansion, their cognition and understanding of the "twenty -four solar terms" will be further improved. In the future, when we communicate with friends from other countries or civilizations, we have a deeper confidence and confidence.

Young people should become the main force inheritance

Liberation Monday: Today, more and more young people have a desire to understand the elements and symbols in traditional folk culture. What do you think of this phenomenon? How to make our folk culture inheritance more powerful breakthroughs and progress?

Bi Xuling: "Cangxian is real and knows rituals, and is full of glory and disgrace." Nowadays, light people have a more positive and enthusiastic attitude towards folk customs. On the other hand, it is also related to the continuous attention and reporting of the media in the media over the years.

Different from the early stages of the protection of intangible cultural heritage (hereinafter referred to as "non -heritage"), there are two changes in today: first, because the non -heritage enlightenment tasks are basically completed, the people's heritage from completely strange to comparison has become comparison to compare. Familiar; second, the focus of non -heritage work has gradually shifted from declaration to protection, development, utilization and management.

In the face of the first change, the existing popularity and communication work should break through, especially to create conditions for more people to experience non -heritage. In this way, it can not only reserve for future non -heritage projects and resources, but also further create a social foundation and social atmosphere of non -heritage protection.

In the face of the second change, non -heritage protection work should avoid "short, flat, and fast" working methods and activities, and pay attention to the rescue preservation, inheritance, and development support of rescue preservation, inheritance, and development support. High -level professional team. At the same time, encourage various types of enterprises, non -governmental agencies, and civil society as much as possible to participate in the work of non -heritage protection.

Liberation Monday: You particularly emphasize that the people, especially young people, are the most important relying power of non -genetic inheritance and protection. Bi Xuling: Yes. In the inheritance and protection of non -heritage, the core element is "people". As the main body of inheritance of non -heritage, the inheritance has been widely recognized, but ordinary people outside the inheritance are also very important for non -heritage inheritance and protection. People of different ages and identities are not exactly the same as the role of non -genetic inheritance and protection, and the important degree is slightly different. If you can realize this, the efficiency and results of non -heritage protection will be significantly improved.

After all, it belongs to young people and children. Take the "Non -Heritage School" activity. If a student starts to contact and understands non -heritage from the time of school, then it does not exceed 10 years, and we can cultivate a group of young people who love non -heritage heritage. Essence Compared with middle -aged and elderly people, the consumption concept of young people is more advanced with the times, and they are more willing to spend money on the culture and spiritual life other than eating and living, and they are more willing to invest time and energy for this. This is an important social foundation that is conducive to the inheritance and protection of folklore.

Of course, compared with the student group, the young and middle -aged people have stronger spending power and greater social influence. They guide or even determine the direction of social development from many aspects such as culture, consumption, entertainment. To attract the enthusiasm of this group of participation, whether it can inherit the traditional non -heritage advantages and combine modern aesthetic needs and life ideals, designing high -quality non -heritage products with both fashion and practical value. If this can be achieved, the on -the -job population can further understand the value of non -heritage while using non -heritage products, and then generate recognition and love.

Today, some young people are trying to integrate non -genetic inheritance into their own innovation and entrepreneurial cause. Seeing such a phenomenon, the government should support and encourage. In particular, it is necessary to encourage young people to develop as rich as possible in the form of non -heritage core content, so that the future non -heritage inheritance will be wider into all aspects of social life.

In the future, we should let more people agree with such a concept: protecting traditional culture and protecting cultural heritage is not just government affairs, but that we all care about, can participate and contribute strength.
