How to inherit Chaoshan culture?

The content of Chaoshan culture includes two levels: first, the Chaoshan culture carried by local chronicles, writings and works based on documents and classics; The second is the folk culture carried by non-language carriers, such as spoken language, costumes, architecture, food, drama, music, crafts, art, festivals and customs.

In the process of social transformation and development, Chaoshan culture has gained good development opportunities and made great progress. At the same time, it also faces severe challenges and many puzzles. It is undoubtedly meaningful to explore the causes of these challenges and puzzles for looking forward to the development of Chaoshan culture and playing its unique role in rallying hipsters at home and abroad.

First, Chaoshan culture in the vigorous development of social changes

Great changes have taken place in China in the past half century, which has had a great impact on the development of Chaoshan culture in China. We might as well talk about it in two stages with the starting point of reform and opening up and the development of market economy as the boundary.

After the founding of New China, the state formulated and implemented the policy of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend, and literature and art serve socialism and the people" in the ideological and cultural field. Cultural undertakings flourished, and excellent traditional culture was sorted out, protected, restored, promoted and sublimated. In this context, Chaoshan culture has also gained excellent opportunities for development. Local governments at all levels attach great importance to the construction of cultural positions. There are cultural palaces, cultural centers and mass literary and art federations in the county, which promote mass literary and artistic creation activities. There are cultural stations and reading rooms in towns and villages, which provide conditions for promoting the improvement of people's cultural level. The status of literary and art workers has also been unprecedentedly improved. In the old society, Chaozhou opera actors were in the humble position of "pigs off the stage", and now they have become artists, and actors have become an enviable profession. Literary and artistic entrepreneurship flourished, Chaozhou opera arranged or created a large number of traditional plays, and excellent plays were put on the screen and spread more widely. Local chronicles have been compiled or newly revised and published. The media has been established and improved from scratch. Set up radio stations and stations in counties and towns to spread to village households. After the reform and opening up, TV stations have been established in counties and townships. Cultural relics have been protected and rebuilt. A large number of scenic spots and historical sites, such as Wenmatan, Lianhuafeng, Lingshan Temple, Kaiyuan Temple and Hanwen Palace, have been listed in different levels of cultural relics protection units for key protection.

If we say that before the reform and opening up, the implementation of the policy of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend" was affected to varying degrees due to the interference of the left ideological line, then the obvious change after the reform and opening up is that the line, principles and policies of cultural construction have been better implemented, and Chaoshan culture has really enjoyed the opportunity of vigorous development. Literary and artistic creation is prosperous, cultural life is rich and colorful, and string songs are endless.

On the other hand, economic development, affluent life and active market provide a material basis for the broader and more colorful development of Chaoshan diet and holiday customs. During the period of economic tension, people beg for three meals a day and one night, but their food and clothing are still not enough, let alone enjoying Chaoshan culture. Drinking congou tea and eating Chaozhou cuisine are only the special enjoyment of a few rich people. After the reform and opening up, people's living standards have improved and production has developed, and these folk customs have become more common. Due to the development of market economy and the broadening of employment opportunities, various industries in industry and commerce have shown their talents. Small vendors and vendors are all over the streets, and Chaoshan food and snacks are all over the streets. Festivals and customs have a better material foundation. Chaoshan culture has gained a good opportunity for vigorous development.

Second, Chaoshan culture in the social changes in the plight and concerns

In the process of social development and change, Chaoshan culture is also facing various worrying dilemmas: with the death of the older generation who are familiar with Chaoshan human history, fewer and fewer people can understand and be familiar with Chaoshan culture; With the popularization of education, Putonghua is widely used in literacy education, and those characteristic expressions with the meaning of "language fossil" in Chaoshan dialect gradually disappear; In addition, large-scale performance groups and research institutions supported by the government can survive and maintain prosperity in the market economy. In the past, there were only a few performances of Chaozhou Opera, Chaozhou Art and Chaozhou Music in various counties and towns, and the ranks shrank. There is a tendency to seek quick success and instant benefit and pursue modernization unilaterally in urban transformation, which has eradicated Chaoshan culture from the material form; Hipsters who used to live in traditional houses such as "Sijianjin" and "Shanglugen" often go door to door, which is less and less common in Chaoshan today. Wait, the reasons why Chaoshan culture encounters difficulties are mainly in several aspects.

(A) the impact of western culture and the impetuous dual role of the market economy. Chaoshan is located in the southern coast of Guangdong. According to the benefits of the ship, it has a tradition of absorbing various influences from the outside world before it becomes popular. This has played an important role in developing Chaoshan economy, improving people's livelihood, enhancing the financial strength of cultural construction and expanding the influence of Chaoshan culture. After the reform and opening up, western culture has been spread and recognized by the younger generation with the help of a strong economy. Pop music and pop songs have enriched cultural life because of their enthusiasm and love for young people. This could have coexisted with the original Chaoshan music and opera, forming a situation of pluralistic coexistence. However, due to education, social psychology and many other reasons, the younger generation does not have a deep understanding of traditional culture, especially under the impact of western fast food culture, pursuing fast food effects. Many young people generally lack historical and cultural knowledge, unable to appreciate the mystery of Chaozhou music and drama with melodious rhythm, unable to understand the lyrics written in traditional Chinese, and unable to understand the emotional implication of the stylized performance art of traditional Chinese opera. They are from lack of interest in the profound Chaoshan traditional culture to keen on western pop culture, and then to. If you lose your confidant, you lose your admirer and you lose your market. This has had a strong impact on the development of Chaoshan music and Chaozhou opera culture. Festive ceremonies and customs have coexisted with the West. With the promotion of commercial interests, it has become taboo to worship ancestors and gods in festivals. Although it is no longer taboo after the reform and opening up, life is affluent, and it is not uncommon to wear new clothes for dinner, but the traditional taste of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker. Driven by commercial interests, prosperous western festivals are increasingly sought after by young people. In the long run, national traditional festivals will fade away in the minds of young people.

(2) Urban reconstruction ignores the protection of Chaoshan architectural features. Since the reform and opening up, the economy has developed and people's living standards have improved. From urban to rural areas, high-rise buildings have sprung up, big cities have become bigger, and small towns have also undergone large-scale demolition, construction and transformation. This is the embodiment of economic development and social progress, and it also improves people's livelihood and the living standards of ordinary people. However, many urban patterns and architectural styles ignore the embodiment of local traditional culture. In the municipal construction of urban transformation, it is often that the old city is not protected, and a large number of houses, ancestral temples and archways are demolished and rebuilt, and replaced by new houses that are not in Central Africa and the west, have no Chaoshan cultural characteristics and are similar everywhere, which makes people feel the breath of Chaoshan culture. If we lack the consciousness of protecting local traditional characteristics in social development, and fail to retain the architectural style and planning layout with Chaoshan cultural characteristics in architectural design and urban planning, it will obviously destroy the environmental atmosphere on which Chaoshan culture depends, hinder the inheritance of Chaoshan culture, and erase the cultural personality characteristics of architectural dwellings in Chaoshan area.

(3) The influence of the replacement of old and new cadres on the Chaoshan cultural heritage. The replacement and metabolism of new and old leading cadres also affect the construction of local culture from one side, and have a direct impact on the protection, inheritance and construction of Chaoshan culture. The reform and opening up abolished the lifelong system and established a retirement system. Party and government officials at all levels are gradually becoming younger, especially in cities and counties. In the traditional administrative system of China, county-level officials are responsible for the local construction of politics, economy, culture, history and education in a county, and they are very key first-level administrative officials. Their behavior not only directly affects people's livelihood, but also affects the inheritance of local history and culture. Younger officials is a historical necessity and also a necessity of social development. Young officials are knowledgeable, young, energetic, enterprising, enterprising, bold, broad-minded, good at accepting new things and brave in innovation, and often can achieve remarkable results in economic construction. However, some young cadres pay attention to modern knowledge and economic construction experience, but lack historical and cultural knowledge. Some people are eager to pursue political achievements, but lack a sense of historical responsibility. This situation is obviously not conducive to the inheritance of Chaoshan traditional culture.

Traditional culture and education are weak in the ninth grade. Since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, education has developed at an alarming rate, and its achievements are obvious to all. However, in the process of exploring the contents and methods of education, there are still many problems to be improved, which also has a negative impact on the development and inheritance of Chaoshan culture. The tendency of attaching importance to science over humanity and modernity over tradition in basic education makes the younger generation have a weak traditional cultural foundation, little understanding of historical allusions and legends, and weak ability to care for and appreciate Chaoshan culture, thus lacking a solid foundation for developing and inheriting Chaoshan culture.

Third, the bright future of Chaoshan culture.

Although there are many problems, Chaoshan culture has a deep foundation, strong vitality and bright development prospects.

At present, China is striving to build a harmonious society, comprehensively promote the construction of a well-off society, and move towards the goal of civilization, prosperity and democracy. "the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's Decision on Several Important Issues in Building a Harmonious Socialist Society" points out: "Building a harmonious culture is an important task in building a harmonious socialist society." We should "carry forward the excellent national cultural traditions, learn from the beneficial achievements of human civilization, publicize the concept of harmony and cultivate the spirit of harmony." This provides a big background and stage for the development of Chaoshan culture. In building a harmonious society, Chaoshan culture, as an important part of China traditional culture, will coexist harmoniously and develop together with other excellent cultures in human society. It can be said that the protection, inheritance and development of Chaoshan culture is also an objective requirement for the development of social multiculturalism. After all kinds of twists and turns and lessons, the whole society gradually realized that a healthy and prosperous society should be characterized by the coexistence and development of various cultures. In the future social development, the inheritance and development of Chaoshan culture is not only the wish of the government and people, but also the concern and efforts of hipsters at home and abroad.

The construction and development of Chaoshan culture not only comes from the objective needs of social development and prosperity, but also has an irreplaceable unique position and role.

History and reality have proved that Chaoshan culture has a unique position and function in the garden of China traditional culture. Chaoshan culture is a strong subculture of China culture and a wonderful flower in the garden of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Chaoshan culture has formed its own independent and complete system, which no force can ignore and obliterate. There are a large number of hipsters at home and abroad, tens of millions, and hipsters are all over the world. They love their hometown, care about mulberries and care about their motherland. "Beauty is not beautiful, the water in my hometown" is the deep affection of hipsters at home and abroad, and it is the unbreakable bond of Chaoshan culture that links them together. Give full play to the cohesion and cohesion of Chaoshan culture in promoting the harmony of compatriots at home and abroad, consolidating the great unity of the people of all ethnic groups in China and the great unity of Chinese people at home and abroad, and implement the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's Decision on Several Major Issues in Building a Harmonious Socialist Society, we must protect and develop the essence of Chaoshan traditional culture. Chaoshan culture is a powerful spiritual and material force that embodies the identity of hipsters at home and abroad with the motherland and mulberry. Many overseas hipsters have done countless good things to help the poor and achieved remarkable results. Chaoshan culture has become an irreplaceable spiritual force to unite the influx of people at home and abroad to care about the modernization of the motherland, realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, support their hometown and build mulberry. All these will effectively promote the inheritance, construction and development of Chaoshan culture.
