In today's era, how to better narrow the distance between traditional folk customs and young people?

Folk customs include all kinds of eating, wearing, living and traveling. From birth to death, from festivals to birthdays, it is closely related to folk customs. But in the contemporary materialistic world, how can we narrow the distance between young people and traditional folk customs? This requires us to do a good job in the innovation of traditional folk customs, inject new vitality into traditional folk customs, make them more suitable for the development of the times, and be recognized and spread by young people.

1. Not all folk customs are related to young people.

Not all folklore has nothing to do with young people. For example, birthdays, or longevity noodles and eggs, such as temple fairs, the "daughter's day" of ethnic minorities and so on. Young people are highly involved. And young people know little about other folk cultures that are not well known, let alone participate in them.

Not all folk customs are endangered.

Not all folklore heritages are in danger. For example, folk arts and crafts, four embroideries, three brocade and other original ecological folk songs will themselves be innovated according to the changes of the times. Embroidery not only embroiders the full moon, but also the Mona Lisa. Brocade also meets international standards. These are also done by young people on the international stage such as Milan fashion and APEC meeting.

3. Folk customs are actually not "vulgar"

The "vulgarity" and "elegance" of folk customs are opposite. Popular culture refers to popular culture, popular culture, citizen culture and popular culture, not vulgar, backward and conservative traditional things. They should be treated separately. Abandon the backward, feudal, outdated and harmful things in traditional culture, and protect the subtle, healthy and touching things such as funeral and filial piety culture.

In short, if we want to close the distance between young people and folk culture, we must innovate folk culture, make it closer to young people's lives, and attract young people's attention.
