Do all folk skills need to be passed on?

The inheritance of folk arts should not only be the efforts of artists, but also to create good conditions for them.

When it comes to musical instruments, many people think of the guitar, the piano, the violin, these Western music. In the children are scrambling to enroll in the interest classes, but also most of these musical instrument classes, while those from the traditional Chinese musical instrument classes, but very few. This phenomenon makes many artists of traditional arts feel very cold.

This is true not only for musical instruments, but also for many traditional Chinese cultures. The Peking Opera class is in decline, the commentary is unknown, and there are many young people who confuse traditional culture. Of course, there are many artists who are slowly picking up these fading cultures, and although we don't know what the future outcome will be, there is still hope for the inheritance of traditional arts from what we have seen so far.

For example, Zhang Yunlei, a comedian from Deyunsha, has become a big hit because of his looks and an adapted version of a Beijing ditty. And, with his skills honed from a young age, he has gone farther and farther down the road of comedy iconoclasm. His contribution to traditional arts is also very great. Not only will the Beijing opera back to the audience's field of vision, but also let a lot of young people understand and love the Beijing rhyme drums, local songs and these folk arts.

In fact, in addition to Zhang Yunlei, in earlier years, there have been a lot of people paying attention to traditional arts. A lot of filmmakers have also used this as a source of material to create a lot of works. Today I'm going to introduce one such movie, named "Hundred Birds to Phoenix". Just by looking at the title of the movie, do you think that this movie should be very gorgeous. But in fact, this is a movie with a strong local flavor, the movie tells a story from the countryside.

The protagonist of this movie is an old man, an old man who has focused on a musical instrument all his life. His instrument is like a son to him, so he has devoted his life to passing on this instrument. Art is not a handicraft, it has to be inherited by someone, someone who carefully takes over the art from the hands of the previous generation, and then carries it forward with dedication for the rest of his life.

The master in the movie, when choosing his successor, is not concerned about his talent, his talent, but his pure and respectful heart. There is a saying that before you learn the art, you learn to be a man. The boy in the movie is not superbly talented, but what impresses his master are his tears after his father is injured. Sure enough, when he grows up and inherits his master's mantle, he is the only one who stubbornly persists and achieves something when everyone abandons this traditional art.

"The Hundred Birds" is about the oboe, and the movie's title isn't as flashy as we might think. The original is a very classic suona famous song, and this song is not something that can be blown at will. We all know that usually at funerals, will blow suona, and this song, only the deceased life is a respected, so that all people respect, can afford this famous song.

At the end of the story, the old man who insisted on traditional folk art, left the world. But the art did not die with his departure, and the disciple who won his favor with a tear eventually grew up to be an artist like him, obsessed with the oboe and persistent in the art. Suona also got the attention of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, the boy who has been sentimental since childhood, after completing the master's mandate, stood in front of the master's grave and blew the song "Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix".

Take the essence and remove the dross

If you don't pass it on, you lose it.

Today and talk to you about the folk clay pottery is a wonder in the history of human civilization. It is located in the lower reaches of the Wei River in Dayao Village, Buzhuang Town, Changyi City, which is an ancient village connected to the lifeline of the ceramics industry. 2011 April, Dayao Village, Buzhuang Town, Changyi City, clay pottery skills were named Weifang City Intangible Cultural Heritage. In recent years, however, the trend toward antiquing has become booming, and Yin Xiande, a savvy DAYAO potter who quickly recognized the business opportunities in the construction of retro buildings across the country, has turned his attention to antique bricks and tiles with success. (Nov. 20, Weifang News)

As one of the folk arts, earthenware pottery faces the dilemma of inheritance. In fact, not only earthenware, many intangible cultural heritages in Weifang also face the same fate. Such as Gaomi paper-cutting, Weifang kites, Yangjiabu wooden New Year's paintings and so on. In Weifang, this land once nurtured a splendid civilization and endless cultural heritage, but as a heritage of agricultural society, it was destined to face the embarrassment of endangerment when the industrial society arrived. Although the government has listed it as an intangible cultural heritage, it is still unable to solve the predicament of its inheritance.

On the one hand, the arrival of the industrial society was a blow to competitors; on the other hand, the number of employees in the handicraft industry decreased. Under these two predicaments, the fate of folk skills like earthenware is quite dangerous. So, what efforts need to be made to solve the dilemma of folk art inheritance? As a matter of fact, we need to solve this predicament and what we need to do most is to build a platform for the Government. The most successful example is the annual Weifang International Kite Festival. As a comprehensive festival integrating culture, economy and tourism, the Weifang International Kite Festival not only realizes the inheritance of kite culture, but also drives the development of kite economy, and at the same time shapes the brand of Weifang. Needless to say, this is a three-pronged approach.

According to this way of thinking, Changyi and Tudao may as well embark on the road of cultural stage and singing. First of all, the relevant departments should pay attention to folk skills as a cultural industry. Attention to folk skills should not be limited to assessing them as intangible cultural heritage, but should be seen as a long-term mechanism and industrial chain for promoting local economic development. Because earthenware skills can be innovative, earthenware, the success of Changyi antique building materials is a good example.

Secondly, there is a need to use financial subsidies to encourage more people to engage in the transmission of this folk skill, for example, by increasing training, increasing subsidies to trainers, and providing employment opportunities in related industries. Finally, related needs require long-term planning, and the inheritance of folk skills should be forward-looking and innovative. Only through continuous innovation can folk skills be truly preserved.

Definitely need, otherwise where is the craftsmanship,

Need to pass on, history Technology is advancing, but traditional crafts and ideas help to understand and learn. Meaningful for future research.

The heart of the business is certainly can be inherited, our cloud water mountain room owner Mr. Huang Wangwang, Li's carving family fifth-generation heirloom, did not graduate from junior high school began to enter the carving factory, followed by the carving master to learn the craft of carving, and is now also a representative of the intangible cultural heritage of Beijing, that as long as you can insist on doing a good job of craftsmanship, to do fine, and insisted on doing it, or can be passed on to the next generation, and now the factory! Now the factory also trained a few carving master, is a kind of inheritance

All the skills are the crystallization of human wisdom, if possible, I hope to inherit forever, whether active or passive, are necessary.

Definitely, good skills need to be preserved and promoted.

It's very much needed
