How to explore the culture and art in minority areas

Culture is the blood of the nation and the spiritual home of the people. However, as an inseparable part of Chinese civilization, minority cultures in many places are facing the danger of extinction. How to save these cultures is not only an important issue facing China society at present, but also something that everyone should reflect and think about. Musical Humanism, who is committed to inheriting minority culture and art, gives his own answer: the only way to revive minority culture is to "really go in and go out with your heart".

China has a long history of 5,000 years, which has nurtured a profound cultural heritage. However, in today's rampant commercial culture, minority culture is in danger of being eliminated. Mr. Chen Yinque asserted in the 1950s: "Culture is related to the rise and fall of a nation." This is not an alarmist. Looking around the world, the reason why the United States and Japan can become powerful countries is inseparable from their prosperous cultural industries. Hollywood movies and Japanese cartoons have become cultural symbols of the global village. If China wants to reproduce the prosperous times and stand on the top of the world, it must carry forward the minority cultures, enrich the cultural diversity of Chinese civilization and realize the Chinese dream with the strategy of strengthening the country through culture.

For the excavation of minority culture, many people have begun to take action. Nishima, for example, said that the writer Ji Feng traveled to Tianjin, Shaanxi and other places to protect local traditional culture; Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Yunnan Impression, Lijiang Impression, Liu Sanjie Impression and other large-scale live song and dance performances have re-released the charm of national costumes and national dances ... Many artists with a sense of social responsibility have devoted themselves to the excavation of minority cultures and arts, and all he has to do is to appeal to more people to participate through his own actions.

There is no shortcut to explore the culture and art of ethnic minorities. The only way is to "go in and go out". When you go in, you must do it yourself and really go deep into ethnic minority areas. Even if this place is remote, you should visit the farmers in the cottage, record the local customs and enjoy the local natural scenery. Going in depends on the time and energy invested, otherwise, there is no way to really immerse yourself in Wang Yang with minority culture, and there will be no rich harvest. Going out with your heart is to figure out how to carry forward the minority culture you see, hear and feel. This requires your mind and thinking, and you need to find ways to make the outside world accept these cultural treasures. Just like the large-scale live song and dance performances such as Yunnan Impression, it introduces Yunnan minority costumes and dances to the outside world in a very good form.

"Going in and going out" seems simple, but it is difficult to do this with a calm mind when "vegetarianism" and "money worship culture" are prevalent. Nishima, on the other hand, practices his responsibility for minority culture through his own music works. "I'm going to the Red River" makes the minority culture of Yunnan Red River more familiar to everyone. Populus euphratica water town makes many people intoxicated by the minority culture in Zepu, Xinjiang. "Hani Girl" makes everyone feel the delicate feelings of this nation again after Li Weizhen, a good voice in China. ...

Xidao said that he is carrying out a national cultural protection project for ethnic minorities, called "I dedicate a song to the nation" series of activities.

Through the collection of lyrics describing different ethnic groups all over the country, we strive to explore the spiritual outlook that shows the healthy life of all ethnic groups. Through the creation and distribution of songs, more audiences will pay attention to traditional folk culture, and precious folk art and culture will be inherited and carried forward in communication.
