How to protect the national culture

The protection of national culture should be multifaceted and all-round, and the protection of law, policy, technology and industry is indispensable, and the government, experts, enterprises and the general public are the main body of protection.

The concept of renewal. It is necessary to raise the awareness of the people in the western region, to improve their conscientiousness and initiative to protect the national culture, so that the peoples themselves to decide the way of cultural protection, inheritance and development. One must build confidence. Ethnic cultural resources are the accumulation of spiritual wealth created by all ethnic groups over the centuries, and although some of their contents are not compatible with contemporary society, a considerable number of their components are the crystallization of human civilization and will play a positive role both today and in the future. Therefore, we should enable all peoples to enhance their self-confidence and pride in their own cultures and to recognize the value of their own cultures. If an ethnic group loses confidence in its own culture, it may make choices unfavorable to the protection and development of its own culture in the face of many foreign cultures in the process of development and modernization in the west; secondly, it is selective protection. The content of national culture is more complex, the protection of national culture is not passive, negative, unchanged protection, but to remove the dregs, take the essence, is a positive, active protection; Third is the absorption of protection. If the culture of a nation is kept in a closed environment for a long time without contact with the outside world, although the cultural factors in the traditional state will not be impacted in a short period of time, in the long run, this nation will not gain development. Therefore, in the face of the outside culture brought about by the development of the west, the national culture should adopt a tolerant and positive attitude, and actively absorb all kinds of excellent cultures of other nationalities, so as to make the national culture develop.

Government protection. Governments at all levels should play a leading role and take the main responsibility for the protection of national cultural resources, especially in the laws and regulations, policy guidance, macro-control, capital investment, personnel training and other aspects of other forces are irreplaceable. First, the implementation of policies. Comprehensively implement the Party's national and cultural policies, and realize the protection of national cultural resources through the implementation of policies and the introduction of new policies; secondly, increase investment. All levels should increase the financial investment in the rescue, preservation, excavation, maintenance, collation and utilization of national culture, and guarantee the basic livelihood of cultural and folk artists; Third, overall planning should be made in the development to protect the ecosystem on which the national culture relies, and to prevent the westernization, sinicization, simplification, vulgarization and urbanization of the original culture in the tourist areas.

Legislative protection. Protecting national cultural resources through legislation is the most effective protection. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the state has formulated a number of national laws and regulations on the protection of national language, writing, customs, cultural relics and other provisions, but they are not yet very sound. Most ethnic cultural resources, such as food utensils, ancient production tools, handmade crafts, and ethnic instruments and music, do not yet have corresponding protection regulations. Therefore, it is urgent to establish and improve local and national laws and regulations for the protection of ethnic cultural resources.

Focused protection. Ethnic cultural protection zones or core belts should be established at different levels from national to local levels. The State People's Committee should continue to promote the work of ethnic culture contact points.

Categorized protection. Ethnic culture has a wide range of contents and categories, and in order to implement effective protection for it, corresponding protection countermeasures must be taken according to different categories.

Strengthening education. First, popularization of education. Attach importance to the cadres and masses of all nationalities to carry out cultural heritage and ecological environment protection knowledge education, especially to strengthen the primary and secondary school students of national culture education; ethnic work departments should organize human, material and financial resources to prepare for the general cadres and masses of national culture knowledge reading materials; routinely carry out a variety of national cultural activities, such as the State People's Committee organized by the National Culture and Arts Concert, national costume exposition, the National Knowledge Competition These activities play an important role in the education, inheritance and promotion of national cultures; secondly, efforts are made to cultivate successors. Many ethnic handicrafts, ethnic languages, indigenous medicines, music and dance are facing a crisis of extinction as the older generation passes away one after another. The national and local governments should plan to train the successors, so that the main body of national culture can be inherited from generation to generation.
