The origin of the name of Qingyang Box Folk Culture and Art Festival in China

Qingyang ancient civilization has a long history. As early as 200,000 years ago, human ancestors thrived here, with splendid history and culture. Qingyang is also an old revolutionary base area. The fighting footprints of the older generation of revolutionaries are all over every hot spot here. The songs of justice that spread fire and blood are still in my ears, and red revolutionary cultural sites are scattered all over the place. The loess customs created by the Loess Plateau are unique, rough, bold, simple and natural, and colorful folk culture and art, which are the bright lights lit by the industrious and intelligent Qingyang people in the long night and the romantic flowers blooming in the simple and simple mind. Such mountain flowers are as bright as a picture.

Qingyang's cultural resources are as rich as pearls and as bright as stars. There are already many festivals in China, and the ideas that can make people shine at the moment have long been preempted by others. Qingyang people spent a lot of time trying to organize a special cultural festival, and the final result was quite whimsical. Everyone's consensus is an art with media communication function, which can best represent Qingyang. It should be widely passed down by the people, with a certain mass base and outstanding personality characteristics. The more folk it is, the more cosmopolitan it is; Only the more individual and typical, only the typical can represent and influence the universal. The most vivid culture and art in Qingyang belongs to folk culture and art, and the humanistic characteristics of Qingyang are profound cultural accumulation and unique customs. Qingyang is rich in representative folk culture and art, such as paper-cutting, sachet embroidery, shadow play, Taoist sentiment, folk songs, social fire, cave dwelling, lotus dance, dough sculpture, five-bat skin drum, etc., which is a must in Longdong.

Qingyang folk have always followed the traditional habit that a clever woman can't cook without rice. The Dragon Boat Festival presents sachets to wear, which means good luck. Some folk artists display their homemade sachets for sale in the street every Duanyang Festival, and some of them are also shipped to other places for sale. As early as 200 1, the original Xifeng city held the sachet festival as a folk cultural activity of Duanyang Festival, and made a successful attempt.

Sachet bags are very common in Qingyang, and Qingyang people are also familiar with them. The Jin Dynasty chitose sachet unearthed in Huachi County shows that Qingyang sachet has a long history. The sachet is one of the folk handicrafts embroidered by Qingyang women. With its gorgeous and bright colors, bold and unique shapes and vigorous and enthusiastic actions, sachets inherit the blood of Qingyang folk culture and condense Qingyang's long history and culture and people's great creative spirit. Qingyang sachet also has the function of expressing emotions among the people. Therefore, as a representative of Qingyang's characteristic culture, Xiao Xiangbao has rich cultural connotations, ancient historical traditions, distinctive regional styles, profound connotations and superb skills. Known as the "living cultural relic" of Qingyang history, it can become a beautiful business card and development ambassador of Qingyang.

Under the active advocacy of Wang Yi, the first mayor of Qingyang City, the municipal government held an office meeting to discuss the development of sachet industry, which was later unanimously agreed by the leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government. "China Qingyang sachet folk culture festival" was born, and the first China Qingyang sachet folk culture festival was successfully held in 2002. Later, it constantly strengthened the connotation of the times, and became an important decision made by Qingyang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to practice Theory of Three Represents Theory, implement the deployment of building a province with characteristic culture in Gansu Province, expand opening up, enhance Qingyang's popularity, develop characteristic cultural resources, develop cultural industries, build and carry forward advanced culture, and promote coordinated economic and social development. Held during the annual Duanyang Festival, Qingyang has become an effective carrier for opening to the outside world and an effective platform for attracting investment and accelerating development. "Small sachet, big industry" has become a well-known development concept in Qingyang City.

In this way, a unique folk culture festival connects countless bright cultural pearls in Qingyang and makes them shine.
