What folk arts have been lost?

In order to protect the intangible cultural heritage, 500 folk arts have been lost for more than half, which has become the focus of Committee members' attention. Ningbo net, China, nb.com.cn, May 07 12 09: 18 Ningbo Daily News (Reporter Claire Kuo) There were nearly 500 kinds of folk arts in Ningbo's history, but now more than half of them are lost, dormant or semi-dormant. Even if he is still alive, only the old folk artists have mastered it, and no one has inherited it. CPPCC literature and history Committee calls for the protection of intangible cultural heritage. Member Xu Jiancheng, who spoke on behalf of the General Assembly of the CPPCC Committee on Literature and History, said that Ningbo's intangible cultural heritage is rich in connotation and diverse in types, but at present it is mainly regional folk culture, traditional performing arts, folk activities, ceremonies, festivals, traditional handicrafts, etc., as well as other intangible cultural heritages involving food, medicine, economy, sports, handicrafts, etc., such as Siming Neijia Boxing, Honggang Tailoring Skills, and Lu's Traumatology, which belong to relevant departments and industries. "Due to the single source of protection funds and insufficient investment, the speed of endangered loss of intangible cultural heritage is still accelerating." Xu said that of the 15 local operas that existed since the Qing Dynasty, only seven have survived to this day. Only 22 of the original 37 old brands are still in operation. It is also difficult to collect and rescue representative works of craft heritage; Because the protection work is not included in the management according to law, there are some problems in the protection of intangible heritage in our city, such as lack of understanding, lack of talents, retreat from difficulties, lack of ability, poor protection and inheritance, disorderly development and utilization. Due to the lack of policy support for protection, the benefits of heritage protection are obviously insufficient. Judging from the intangible cultural heritage protection projects in our city in recent years, whether it is a performance heritage or a craft heritage, the works launched for the purpose of "protection for protection" are often difficult to attract people's attention, lacking popularity and market support, thus failing to guarantee the living space after protection. In view of the present situation, Xu Jiancheng suggested that the municipal government should take the lead in setting up a leading or coordinating group for the intangible cultural heritage protection project in Ningbo to guide, supervise and make decisions on the protection project, determine a number of heritage lists in urgent need of rescue, set up a special protection fund, establish corresponding working institutions, give full play to the role of non-governmental organizations, and form a joint protection force. At the same time, actively cultivate relevant talents. In this regard, we must first manage the line and promote the work of the inheritors; Secondly, it is necessary to educate and train relevant managers and business personnel; Third, the use of scientific research institutions and institutions of higher learning to train specialized personnel. Xu Jiancheng hopes to speed up the construction of legal protection mode of intangible heritage. The legal protection he said includes the general survey, declaration, key protection and inheritance, utilization and development, safeguard measures and team building of intangible heritage. Xu Jiancheng also particularly emphasized that a new pattern of "government-led, social participation" protection should be formed as soon as possible, a number of living intangible cultural heritages with large market demand space should be developed, social forces should be encouraged to participate in the protection in various forms, more private funds should be attracted to create a distinctive industrial chain, and a new way of "nurturing heritage with heritage" should be found.
