I have seen several kinds of folk art, is it really going to disappear?

I have seen more than a dozen folk arts. These include New Year pictures, folk paper-cutting, embroidery, shadow play, duets, playing with lights, stilts, ventriloquism and acrobatics. Due to the development of the times, many folk arts have lost their living space and gradually faded out of people's field of vision. Some people worry that these folk arts will disappear from the world.

I don't think so. The so-called disappearance means that these folk arts have no living space. This is a fact. China society suddenly entered the industrial age from thousands of years of agricultural civilization, and it changed too fast, which made people feel uncomfortable. Many folk arts in China are the products of farming civilization. It used to be fine, but suddenly it was replaced by industrialized products. Moreover, these industrial products are basically borrowed directly from foreign countries, and China elements are not well absorbed and digested, giving people the illusion that China culture has disappeared.

Actually, this is temporary. Once China people realize this, they will soon change from imported products to their own. We will learn from our national traditions in a new way, and finally let foreign things serve China and become our own products. Although the form has changed, the spiritual and cultural characteristics will never change. I didn't expect China people to realize this so quickly and start to protect China's traditional culture from the national strategic level.

So I think these folk arts will not disappear, but will be replaced by new ways. With the development of network technology, some ancient folk arts will be further spread through the network. However, there are many contradictions. In the past, some Quyi performances were different in space and venue, and the materials and means used were different. Because of their limited experience, modern methods can't solve it. For example, some handicrafts can only be seen in videos, but they can't be experienced, losing the meaning of art itself.

In the past, some traditional folk arts walked the streets and came from the masses to the masses. This problem was well solved in the sixties and seventies, and every township has a theater to provide performance places for these folk arts. As long as we know, it will not disappear and will develop better. On the contrary, it's hard to say.
