The traditional crafts of many ethnic groups in China are gradually declining. How to treat this phenomenon and how to better protect and inherit the traditional crafts of our nation?

National traditional crafts belong to a part of national culture. At present, among the ethnic minorities in China, 22 ethnic groups have a population of less than 654.38+10,000, and some have a population of less than 5,000. Due to the small scope of the core cultural areas of ethnic minorities with small population, the cultural inheritance situation is worrying. In the face of this phenomenon, it is imperative to rescue and protect the characteristic culture of ethnic minorities.

First, the status quo and problems of the inheritance and protection of ethnic and folk culture in China.

With the rapid development of China's economy and the influx of various foreign cultures attracted by the reform and opening up, China's traditional national culture has been constantly impacted. At the same time, the integration and development of culture has also led to the danger of extinction of many traditional ethnic and folk cultures, mainly in:

1. The younger generation didn't know enough about the national culture and began to westernize in the pursuit of the trend.

2. Many traditional skills and folk arts have no successors and are facing extinction. Some traditional skills and folk skills in our country are the crystallization of the wisdom of the older generation, which contains the industrious and simple characteristics of our working people. It takes years or even decades to master a skill, and few modern people are willing to spend a long time learning a skill. As a result, our country needs valuable national skills and is in danger of being lost.

3. The lack of researchers on ethnic folk traditional culture and the lack of corresponding national protection laws make it difficult to properly protect a large number of representative cultural relics and materials of traditional culture.

Second, inheritance and protection.

1. Establish a sense of national folk culture identity and enhance national pride. When studying and protecting the villagers' art, we should "let the fish return to the water". "Only by starting from the villagers' concrete life and taking the villagers' art as a part of their life and culture can we truly understand its charm and real significance."

2. Protect the intellectual property rights of ethnic and folk cultures. Improve the laws and regulations on the protection of national folk culture in China, including the protection of intellectual property rights of national folk culture, including copyright, use right, trademark right and patent right. China's traditional folk culture is protected from being stolen by other countries or organizations, as well as the illegal profit-making behavior of non-governmental organizations and individuals. We can use the first laws and regulations to protect them, and amend or introduce new laws and regulations in time where there are legal loopholes. Learn from the successful protection models of other countries, fully realize the cultural value and economic value of traditional folk culture, and carry out legal protection, inheritance and utilization.

3. Establish a perfect national and folk cultural protection institution.

4. Use the power of the media to popularize the knowledge of national folk culture.

5. Vigorously cultivate folk culture talents and expand the national folk culture and art talent team.

The protection of talents includes two main aspects: ① paying attention to providing the existing talents who have mastered the national folk culture and technology with the peripheral life guarantee of continuing artistic creation, and providing strong support policies for them to impart cultural memories, such as improving their treatment and applying for policy support and rewards from teaching units for imparting skills; ② Pay attention to the excavation and cultivation of young cultural talents in the future. Combine the skills of national and folk culture with the depth of education, and incorporate them into the education curriculum together with other cultural courses, so as to cultivate young students' interest and love for national culture, establish a set of education and social security and incentive mechanism to ensure the training and future employment of national and folk talents, and expand the ranks of national and folk cultural and artistic talents.

In a word, inheriting and protecting Chinese traditional folk culture is a long-term and great historical task, and it is the responsibility of the government, social organizations and every citizen. With the support of national laws and regulations, we will increase the allocation of national folk cultural facilities and carry out in-depth research on national culture. From the educational mechanism, we should extensively cultivate the inheritors of national and folk traditional culture and art and make them successors. And carry out activities to sort out national folk culture, promote the integration of national folk culture into people's consciousness, inherit and protect national folk culture "people-oriented", and make our traditional national folk culture have a long history.
