How can folk culture be sustained and inherited?

Identity is a shared belief and emotion, the inner cohesion that unites the different individuals in a community. Cultural identity requires what makes Chinese Chinese? What does it mean to be Chinese?

It includes values, historical traditions, morals and customs, lifestyles, language and writing, and other aspects. We must consciously absorb nourishment from traditional culture, and "literature carries the Tao," and the content of China's national spirit exists in a large number of Chinese literary works, and we must read more and draw more nourishment from them, and we must also study them in language, history, ideology, and politics. In the process of strengthening cultural identity, it is necessary to focus on national language, national history, and humanistic traditions.

Our culture is also facing challenges, and the globalization of the entire world has become an objective historical process that does not depend on human will. On the one hand, it provides favorable conditions for the cultures of various nationalities to communicate and blend with each other, and on the other hand, it also gives the strong culture an excuse to devour the weak culture and the Western culture to dominate the world culture, thus posing a challenge to the country's cultural sovereignty and cultural security. Our national culture and national spirit are the foundation and soul of the Chinese nation, and inheriting the national culture and promoting the national spirit is a strategic choice to deal with this cultural globalization, and it is also the core idea of our rejuvenation of China.

The main contents of the national culture and national spirit of the Chinese nation include the national feelings of patriotism, the value orientation of unity and unity, the mode of thinking of "noble monks", the fine quality of diligence and bravery, the enterprising spirit of unremitting self-improvement, the broad mind of virtue, the noble feelings of advocating virtue and righteousness, and the modern spirit of science and democracy. Why is it of great practical significance to deeply study and excavate the value genes in traditional Chinese culture? Because in the final analysis, it is the spiritual home of a national spirit.

It carries dreams, but also shows the bottom line. It needs to be guarded, promoted, strengthened, and actively practiced.

National culture is the carrier of a nation's spiritual feelings, the direct expression of national characteristics, and the place of national cohesion. Only by fully respecting the national culture and carrying forward the national spirit can we unite the compatriots at home and abroad on a larger scale and seek the greatest consensus of the Chinese nation, so that the Chinese nation will forever stand among the nations of the world. The interests of the nation are above all else, and this should be the premise for the unity of the Chinese nation.

National language - language is the carrier of national consciousness, cultural tradition and moral concept, love the language of the motherland, consciously maintain the dominant position of the mother tongue in daily learning, life and communication; Correctly use the spoken and written language of the motherland, standardize the use of language and polite language, feel the rich cultural connotation and aesthetic value of the Chinese language, enhance their cultural taste, and deepen their feelings of loving the Chinese language.

Humanistic Tradition: Make full use of Chinese philosophy, history, literature, art, education, folk customs and other resources to understand and learn the humanistic knowledge, humanistic thought and humanistic spirit of the excellent cultural traditions of the Chinese nation, understand and practice the good etiquette of the Chinese nation, and build harmonious interpersonal relationships.

For the essence of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation, we must conduct in-depth research and dig deep into the value genes contained in it. China's excellent traditional culture is very rich in connotation, materialism and atheism, dialectical thought, humanistic thought, and the patriotic tradition of upholding national independence are all fine traditions in Chinese culture.

Culture is the root of the nation, and the spirit is the soul of the nation. The rise and rejuvenation of a nation is often preceded by the revival of national culture and the rise of national spirit. The decline or demise of a nation is preceded by the decadence of the national culture and the malaise of the national spirit.

China has been a vast multi-ethnic country since ancient times. What did we rely on to unify and unite China, which has such a vast territory and such a large population, and created a Chinese civilization that is universally recognized? It relies on the national culture and national spirit that has been consistent among generations of Chinese sons and daughters.

I'm proud of our culture.

With a long history of more than 5,000 years, China has created profound ideas, advanced science and technology, and splendid culture and art in the long process of development of human civilization. It can be said that China's traditional culture is not only the spiritual root of Chinese, but also the cultural return of most countries in East Asia.

From ancient times to the present, China has produced many traditional cultures, some of which are excellent, and some traditional cultures have gradually disappeared with the passage of time, so what are the cultural traditions that can continue to this day?

The first is to lead and participate in various social groups. The protection of intangible cultural heritage requires the joint efforts of social organizations. **The main responsibility is to create a good social environment and improve the cultural consciousness of the public through the organization of "intangible cultural heritage" census and other work.

All kinds of social organizations should carry the banner of protection, and arouse the public's awareness of protection and enthusiasm for participation by improving the discipline system of intangible cultural heritage, carrying out folk art exchanges and other activities, and promote the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.

The inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, who are active in the people, are the transmitters of traditional culture. The Soviet writer Gorky once pointed out: "The death of a folk artist is equivalent to the destruction of a small museum."

Inheritors or groups of intangible cultural heritage should be respected and treated kindly, given stable financial assistance, encouraged to develop folk arts, and cultivated and cultivated talents with special characteristics of traditional arts.

The second is to give full play to the role of the market and prevent excessive commercial development. In view of the shortage of funds in the protection of "intangible cultural heritage", we can use market forces to win more living space. Giving full play to the role of the market mechanism can not only provide a financial base and operating platform for intangible cultural heritage, but also promote the transformation of traditional cultural treasures into contemporary cultural products, thereby driving the development of the cultural industry.

Of course, market development is a kind of differentiated and limited development, and in the process of development, we should pay more attention to the excavation and protection of humanistic connotations and traditional characteristics, rather than blindly catering to and subservient to market demand, and simply pursuing economic value and scale effect.

The third is to innovate in a timely manner and focus on protection. Intangible cultural heritage must be close to the times, innovate in response to the times, integrate the cultural elements of the times, and better fit people's aesthetic tastes, so as to maintain long-term vitality. Of course, innovation should be in line with the natural evolution trend of intangible cultural heritage, draw inspiration and nutrients from traditional culture, maintain, restore and carry forward the traditional characteristics of intangible cultural heritage to the greatest extent, and let the traditional culture shine again.
