Protection measures of water book

The research on the rescue, protection, development and utilization of Shuishu was formally initiated by the National Social Science Fund. The relevant departments have included it in the "National Key Historical Literature Heritage Project" for rescue and protection, and are preparing to declare the "World Memory Heritage List" to UNESCO.

The great breakthrough in the study of Shuishu is gratifying, but the protection of Shuishu is difficult to be optimistic. Meng Xilin, vice president of Guizhou Shuijia Society and an expert on water books, told the reporter that there are estimated to be more than 20,000 water books in Guizhou Province, more than 6,400 in Libo Archives Bureau, more than 5,000 in Sandu County, and more than 1000 scattered among the people. Due to the serious shortage of funds, collection is particularly difficult. Although Libo has invested more than 654.38+0 million yuan, it is only a drop in the bucket. Moreover, the study of Shuishu has gradually attracted the attention of experts and scholars at home and abroad. Some experts from more than a dozen countries, such as Japan and South Korea, have been buying water books from the people, and a number of precious water books are being lost.

What is even more worrying is that with the passage of time, there has been a fault in the inheritance of Mr. Shui Shu, and the number of Mr. Shui Shu is decreasing sharply. According to statistics, there are more than 1000 Mr. Shui Shu in China, but most of them are over 60 years old.

The annotation and appraisal of the existing Shuishu are beneficial to the research and inheritance of water culture. However, only 1500 of the 6,400 Shuishu in Libo have been deciphered and sorted out, and some deciphered Shuishu copies cannot be revised, reviewed and published due to insufficient funds. Yao Binglie said worriedly, "It is so difficult to study and protect tangible water books, not to mention a large number of ancient songs in the aquarium without written records, which they simply cannot preserve." Yao Binglie has always had a wish in his heart, hoping to build a Shuishu museum and do his best to protect Shuishu, an excellent folk cultural heritage. The vast majority of water people don't know Shui Shu, and those who know Shui Shu are honored as Mr. Shui Shu, and Shui Shu has a commandment of passing on men and not women since ancient times. Before 2007, there were more than 500 Mr. Shui Shu in Sandu County, and nearly 200 people died in a few years. At present, there are only more than 300, most of which are in ancient times.

In recent years, few people are willing to study it, which leads to a fault in the inheritance of Shuishu, because many young people in Shuicun go out to work, and activities such as choosing auspicious days and auspicious days with Shuishu are free, and the functions of choosing auspicious days and exorcising evil spirits are gradually deteriorating.
