Over the years, folk culture has been paid more and more attention, so how to develop folk culture?

As an important part of Chinese national culture, folk culture is a very important content in the current cultural construction process, which is of great significance to improving China's soft power and enhancing the international influence of Chinese culture. China's folk culture develops with ethnic integration, war, migration and natural disasters, and changes constantly in the process of development.

Especially in the development of modern society, the development foundation and humanistic conditions on which folk culture depends have changed greatly, and a large number of folk cultures have been lost. In view of this situation, we should not only pay more attention to folk culture at present, but also promote the revival and development of folk culture through inheritance and innovation.

Development Status of Folk Culture in China

Great changes have taken place in the development of folk culture in China. In the process of social progress, the foundation on which folk culture depends has also changed, leading to the decline and loss of a large number of folk cultures in the historical development process. At present, the development status of China's folk culture is not optimistic. The specific development status can be roughly summarized as follows:

(1) Assimilation of Folk Culture It turns out that most of the ethnic minorities in China are located in the border areas of the motherland, with little communication with the outside world, and the folk culture of all ethnic groups can be well preserved. However, with the vigorous development of ethnic tourism, our folk culture and tradition gradually disappeared under the influence of various factors and were replaced by other ethnic and regional cultures. In some backward and culturally unstable ethnic minorities, folk culture is likely to be gradually diluted or even died out. (2) Commercialization of Folk Culture The folk culture in some parts of China is unique, which also makes it an important support for the development of tourism. Driven by huge commercial interests, folk culture is developed and utilized as tourism resources and sold to tourists. This makes folk culture become a commodity, which makes it lose its original meaning and restricts the development of folk culture to some extent.

Inheritance and Innovation Strategies of China Folk Culture

Inheritors should stick to the concept of cultural inheritance and constantly innovate folk culture. As a lifestyle closely related to people, the most precious thing is liveliness. Its inheritance should be based on inheritors and continuous inheritance. In particular, folk artists, as the main body of folk inheritance, should give new life to folk culture with their own thinking and experience, organically integrate profound cultural connotations with modern concepts, and create fine works of art with both traditional cultural connotations and modern humanistic elements, which not only solves the economic problem of survival, but also promotes the inheritance and development of folk culture.
