Core Tip Intangible cultural heritage is a symbol of the Chinese nation. Protecting and inheriting intangible cultural heritage is an important content of maintaining cultural diversity and continuing national spirit, a core component of a region's soft power and an important embodiment of national self-esteem. Xinxiang is a famous historical and cultural city, which has formed a profound historical and cultural heritage and a unique intangible cultural heritage. How to carry forward our excellent traditional culture and Xinxiang humanistic spirit, and how to effectively excavate, protect, inherit and utilize our intangible cultural heritage, so as to solidly promote the construction of a "culturally strong city", build a harmonious society and build the most competitive city in northern Henan, deserves our attention. ...

The love story between Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng is a household name, but as a Xinxiang native, do you know? This story originated in Chuqiu Village, Jitun Township, huixian city City, Xinxiang City, where there are physical evidence such as Pujiu Temple, Baima Temple General Temple Foundation and Yingying Tomb Site. Some experts believe that Zhang Sheng's prototype is Yuan Zhen, the author of Yingying Biography, and Chuqiu Village is the place where the story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng took place. Yingying Tomb Site is located two kilometers northeast of Chuqiu Village, and Baima General Temple Site is located one kilometer northwest of Chuqiu Village. People in Chuqiu Village have not sang The West Chamber so far, and the descendants of Cui Shi in Chuqiu Village have been named "Ying Ying". ...

The cultural heritage is profound and the intangible cultural heritage is rich.

"Xinxiang has a profound historical and cultural heritage. Not only the well-known folk literature such as Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng, but also the folk belief festival, folk music Zhongzhou drum, opera Dapingdiao, and folk handicraft skills of cattle, etc. all belong to intangible cultural heritage and are living fossils of our national culture. " Niu Wanxin, deputy director of the Municipal Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center, said.

When it comes to Xinxiang's intangible cultural heritage, Niu Wanxin is very proud. "The total amount of intangible cultural heritage in our city is relatively large, with rich content and complete categories. Distributed in different areas of the city, it has distinct regional characteristics. The time span is relatively large, and some projects have high historical and cultural value. "

"In today's era, culture has increasingly become an important source of national cohesion and creativity and an important factor in the competition of comprehensive national strength. Enriching spiritual and cultural life has increasingly become the ardent desire of our people. " In the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Comrade General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Hu Jintao highlighted the importance of strengthening cultural construction and improving the soft power of the country's culture, and made comprehensive arrangements for raising a new upsurge of socialist cultural construction and promoting the great development and prosperity of socialist culture.

Extinction is serious, and modern powerful culture has a strong impact.

According to Wang of the city's intangible cultural heritage protection center, Yingying Tomb and General Baima Temple were damaged to varying degrees during the Cultural Revolution. Most of the mounds in Yingying's tomb were cut off, the White Horse General Temple was demolished, and the vacant temple foundation and the White Horse General Monument were pushed down. After 1978, the story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng, as a folk story, was impacted by the economic tide and strong culture in the process of modernization.

"Although the total amount of intangible cultural heritage in our city is relatively rich, the protection situation is grim and the phenomenon of extinction is serious." Wang said, "Urbanization and informatization have brought great changes to people's lives, but they have also caused the deterioration of traditional culture and ecological environment, and the traditional folk customs of urban and rural residents have become increasingly diluted."

According to reports, people born after 70 are generally interested in "discos, Internet cafes and bars" and are not interested in "folk customs, folk customs and folk songs". People are increasingly alienated from traditional folk culture and art, and fewer and fewer people are involved. They are not familiar with each other, let alone love, protection and inheritance. There are faults between the old and the new, and the artistic inheritance is not connected. Because of the unique ways of intangible cultural heritage, such as "passing on from generation to generation", "passing on from master to apprentice" and "passing on by word of mouth", it is very difficult to inherit it in the new social model.

According to the survey, most of the current projects are older, many projects have lost market demand, and young people are unwilling to learn art. Many intangible cultural heritage projects are facing the dilemma of "human death", the inheritance is unsustainable, and the skills are on the verge of being lost. With the progress of society, some industries have withdrawn from the market and their skills have gradually died out.

This arduous task is still in its infancy.

"The protection of the story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng is mainly the protection of specific protectors, story compilers and historical sites." Talking about the protection of this folk literature, Niu Wanxin, deputy director of the Municipal Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center, explained that "the story should be recorded and recorded, and the whole story should be recorded truly, comprehensively and systematically, and the investigation materials and related objects and sites should be properly preserved."

"The collection, classification, identification and collation of intangible cultural heritage in our city is still in its infancy." Niu Wanxin said, "In recent years, our city has paid more attention to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. Since 2003, we have carried out a three-year survey of ethnic and folk art resources throughout the city. Many of these national folk art resources are intangible cultural heritage projects in our city. "

On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2008, the Municipal Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center held the first Xinxiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Competition in Jiulian Mountain Scenic Area of Huixian County. Through this activity, a number of intangible cultural heritages with local characteristics of Xinxiang were excavated. Xue Zuli, executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, pointed out: "This activity is conducive to the rescue, excavation and protection of intangible cultural heritage in the process of folk culture inheritance in our city, and makes certain contributions to inheriting and carrying forward traditional culture."

Building a culturally strong city and cultivating Xinxiang regional culture

According to experts, "The Story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng" has inexhaustible artistic vitality and can become a rich mineral for literary creation such as TV dramas, dramas and dance American dramas. The value of modern tourism resources makes the story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng spread far, and the study and protection of it can make the area around Pujiu Temple a beautiful tourist attraction.

In February 2007, the story of Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng was listed in the first batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage by the provincial government. In the same year, this folk story was investigated as a special topic, and related materials were sorted out, recorded and videotaped, and related objects were properly preserved.

"Xinxiang has a profound intangible cultural heritage, and the protection of intangible cultural heritage is of far-reaching significance." Xue Zuli, executive deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, stressed that "it is necessary to scientifically use its rich cultural factors to form cultural products that can reflect unique national styles and excellent values, and play its due role in further promoting Xinxiang's humanistic spirit, cultivating Xinxiang's regional culture, developing cultural industries and building a culturally strong city."

In August, 2008, the municipal government announced the first batch of intangible cultural heritage list in Xinxiang, with 35 items in 9 categories.
