On the Inheritance of Yao Culture

In the long-term development process, Yao people should also keep pace with the times and inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. So, how can Yao culture be better passed down? The following is the paper on the inheritance of Yao culture that I compiled for you. Welcome to reading. I hope you will like it.

I. Introduction

The Chinese nation is an excellent nation. In the big family of the Chinese nation, all 56 ethnic groups have their own long history and splendid culture. In the process of formation and development, our national culture constantly "takes its essence and discards its dross" and deduces a splendid history of civilization development, so does Yao culture. Qingyuan Liannan Yao Autonomous County, located in the north of Guangdong Province, is located at the southern foot of Nanling Mountains in northern Guangdong. It is a concentrated place for Yao compatriots, with a local population of 52.6%. In this area, Yao villages are distributed everywhere, so Liannan is called "Baili Yaoshan". There are extremely primitive natural scenery, profound historical and cultural scenery of Yao nationality and its own unique national culture. There are a long history and culture of Yao nationality, unique customs of Yao nationality and charming scenery of Yaoshan.

Second, the characteristics of Liannan Yao culture

National culture has its profound cultural connotation, which comprehensively reflects its historical origin, social system, economic life, customs, religious beliefs, ethics, philosophical thoughts and aesthetic concepts. In the long-term practice of production and life, Yao nationality has also created a unique national culture.

1. Architectural culture, planting culture.

The unique Yao village fully shows the wisdom and courage of Yao compatriots. They opened mountains and ridges from generation to generation, and built Zhaimen, Zhaimen, stone arch bridge, slate road and blue brick houses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Houses are neatly arranged, water supply facilities in the village are perfect, and their Millennium Yao village is still a big "bunker". The cottage is built halfway up the mountain, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is said that there have been many times in history to resist enemy attacks. At the same time, they cultivated farmland, built terraces and forests, and built self-sufficient pastoral scenery in the mountains, which was desirable and refreshing.

2. Traditional music and dance.

Yao ballads have a long history and various forms, including creation songs that tell the origin of all things in the world. There are ancient songs describing national history; There are hunting songs, farming season songs and love songs; Sacrifice songs and revolutionary struggle songs include dozens of traditional Yao folk songs with different names, such as Xiang Li, Li Yi, Guajia and Jinguizhong. In the myths and legends of national origin, Yao people worship Pangu and regard Pangu as the ancestor of human beings. Among them, Song of Wang Pan is a classic ballad of Yao nationality and an artistic treasure of Yao nationality. In addition, there are epic legends, stories, riddles, proverbs and so on. It fully shows the ideology, culture, moral concept and social life of Yao nationality, and has high artistic value. Yao dance, like its folk songs, is an integral part of the life of Yao compatriots. Its famous dances, such as Long Drum Dance and Bronze Drum Dance, are large-scale dances dedicated to Wang Pan and Milotuo. There are also 25 kinds of popular folk dances, such as lion dance, grass dragon dance, stick dance, incense dance and teacher dance. Now, Yao's Long Drum Dance and Bronze Drum Dance have been put on the stage and welcomed by the masses. Qingyuan Yao Opera House and Yao Long Drum Dance were selected as national intangible cultural heritages, as well as provincial intangible cultural heritages such as dancing red deer, phoenix dance, lanterns, Xiao Yaochang Drum Dance, bean curd festival and dancing quilt lion. In addition, folk musical instruments such as horns, gongs, suona, mandi, meixiao and flute used in song and dance have strong national artistic style and high artistic value.

3. Traditional national festivals.

Yaozhai is the hometown of singing and dancing, with colorful festivals. Yao's family has grand festivals, such as the ploughing festival on March 3rd, the flower tasting festival on June 6th, the singing festival on July 7th, and the festival and karaoke hall on October 16th. Among them, "Liantang" has become a traditional folk activity in Liannan Yao Autonomous County, and has been listed in the first batch of intangible cultural heritage in China. The "Liantang" held on October 16th of the lunar calendar is the biggest traditional festival of Yao nationality. "Tange Hall" is also a traditional festival for Yao people to spread historical knowledge and celebrate a year of hard work and bumper harvest. Guage Hall is a grand event to commemorate ancestors, recall history, celebrate harvest, worship heroes and spread knowledge. It is also a folk activity for young men and women to make love and make friends. The Yao classics in Guagetang are of great historical research value in ethnology, sociology and folklore.

4. Language, clothing, religion, marriage customs and other living customs and cultures.

Yao nationality has its own typical national culture in language, dress, marriage and life customs. Such as clothing, women wearing long skirts and men wearing double-breasted clothes all have headdresses, daily necessities and various decorations, and all have various exquisite and beautiful patterns. Embroidery, brocade, weaving, embroidery, batik and other traditional crafts. Yao men, women and children can export into songs, and the lyrics are concise and rhyming. Every festive season, they miss their relatives twice and sing songs everywhere, which is fascinating. Many Yao people who have left their hometown try their best to preserve their traditional national culture and customs. In terms of marriage customs, Chashan Yao is a traditional intermarriage between men and women, advocating family planning; Pan Yao, on the other hand, is a "man marries a woman as his wife", advocating more births and paying attention to gender equality; China's marriage customs are more unique. In addition, Yao people also keep their own genealogy, inscriptions, religious scriptures, ballads, letters and ballads, medical prescriptions, contract accounts and so on.

Third, the sustainable development strategy of Yao culture

How to combine the traditional culture of Yao nationality with the unique geographical environment of Yao area and create a unique national economy is the key to the sustainable development of Liannan economy.

1. Establish a correct strategic thinking of national sustainable development.

"National sustainable development strategy" refers to the action plan and program to achieve the national sustainable development goal. The sustainable development of ethnic groups involves the sustainable development of society, economy, cultural ecological environment and natural ecological environment in ethnic areas, and its development strategy is to coordinate ethnic groups and their development goals in all aspects, especially the goals of society, economy, cultural ecological environment and natural ecological environment. Therefore, we should always adhere to the goal of "win-win" between the protection of Yao culture and the social and economic development of Yao area. Protecting Yao traditional culture is the premise and the most important strategy of sustainable development strategy.

2. Combination of development and protection.

China is a multi-ethnic country, and each ethnic group has its own advantages and characteristics. Festival etiquette, customs and religious ceremonies of ethnic minorities are spiritual and cultural factors. While developing minority economy, we must keep the inherent spirit of the original culture to prevent the traditional cultural form of embedded value from being distorted and weakened. The Yao people's efforts to preserve their traditional culture are not only determined by national feelings, but also by the strong vitality of Yao folk culture and art, and it is also a splendid course of our Chinese culture. Yao nationality has its own typical cultural characteristics in language, dress, marriage and life customs. For example, in terms of clothing, Yao costumes are very distinctive. In terms of marriage customs, family planning is advocated and equality between men and women is emphasized. In addition, folk crafts have a long history, such as traditional crafts such as flower picking, brocade, weaving, embroidery, batik and all kinds of exquisite patterns, as well as clothing, architecture, daily necessities and various decorations, which can be preserved and passed down as the civilized achievements of our Chinese nation. In the process of development, it also includes the culture of Yao rural areas, including village planning, various buildings and historical sites; It also includes various folk customs, national languages, folk houses, folk literature, fine arts, music, dance, drama, folk art, acrobatics, martial arts, medicine and various traditional skills. These intangible cultural heritages should be well protected. At the same time, as long as the traditional culture of Yao nationality is beneficial to the progress of society and human cause, it should be actively dedicated to other nationalities and the outside world, which is also the traditional virtue of Yao people. We know that the development of any nation and country cannot be separated from the publicity of itself and the outside world. First, respect, protect and apply the outstanding achievements made by the Yao people in the long-term social labor practice; Second, publicity is conducive to attracting and increasing other ethnic groups to understand the wishes and concerns of the Yao people, strengthening ties, and absorbing and utilizing the outstanding achievements of other ethnic groups. Only in this way can we attract more human, material and financial support, inherit and develop national culture better and promote the economic construction of Yao nationality.

3. The combination of nationality and creativity.

Nationality is the building of the Yao Culture Museum, which is designed according to the architectural characteristics of Yao traditional culture and traditional houses. This paper describes the long history, natural resources, living customs, religious beliefs, national costumes, culture and art, traditional sports and other parts of Yao nationality. In this way, the museum can not only become an important place to protect Yao culture, but also become an important national tourist attraction in Qingyuan. Creativity means that people make use of the existing achievements of civilization to improve and innovate, making it more scientific and reasonable. Due to historical reasons, Yao people lived a nomadic life before the founding of the People's Republic of China. However, the Yao people are hardworking and brave, and their ability to adapt to the environment is extremely strong. Every time they move to a new place, they can survive by creating labor results with their own hands and have excellent national integrity. Yao people should not only adapt to the environment, but also change it. In particular, we should creatively study and apply scientific and cultural knowledge, adapt to the new environment of reform and opening up as soon as possible, and develop our own traditional culture; We demand both survival and development.

4. Integration with the times.

Due to the limitation of geographical environment, Yao nationality has not developed rapidly, nor has it paid attention to absorbing and utilizing the excellent culture and technology of other nationalities and the outside world, and has been closed for a long time. However, the Yao people are hospitable and have strong internal solidarity and mutual assistance. The Chinese nation constantly absorbs the achievements of foreign civilizations in the development of human society. In the long-term development process, Yao nationality should also keep pace with the times, inherit the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, make itself constantly strengthen its contact and development with the outside world, absorb the strengths and advantages of all ethnic groups, constantly improve and progress, and constantly integrate with the Han nationality and other ethnic groups to consolidate and improve the development of Yao traditional culture.
