Splendid chapter of cultural context｜New youth with one heart and one "art"
From youth to sophistication, from ignorance to determination. A world, a pair of skillful hands, and a voice hide Chinese culture in daily life.
Today, young people are inheriting the wisdom of their ancestors and "opening up" traditional culture in their own way.
In their hands, "old objects" such as brocade, dough sculptures, and paper-cutting have transformed into "trendy toys" loved by the public; in their videos and live broadcasts, traditional culture is frequently out of the circle through the Internet...
On June 2, 2023, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized at the symposium on cultural inheritance and development that continuing to promote cultural prosperity, building a cultural power, and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation from a new starting point is our new cultural mission in the new era.
Inheriting the mission, how praiseworthy can this generation of young people who uphold "art" be?
3,000 nut shells were used to make gold armor, 68 cans were used to imitate a full set of Miao headgear, and it took two months to use filigree inlays to imitate Farewell My Concubine and Yu Ji Ruyi crown. All the creativity that ordinary people can’t think of and the creations that ordinary people dare not think of are made by craftsman Yan Hong. Everything comes true in my hands.
From releasing the first video of making velvet flowers in September 2018 to using cans to restore the headdress of Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", a cultural enthusiast who relies solely on love has embarked on the path of inheriting and innovating traditional culture.
Unlike Yan Hong, the "wild sect", Lang Jiaziyu was born in a family of celebrities. However, this young inheritor is looking for a "wild feeling".
In his hands, the "face man" can be the traditional theme "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", the sports star "Kobe Bryant Hall of Fame", the cartoon character "Lina Belle", or the animation character "The Lion Boy" , he also let "Mianrenlang" cross-border joint sports brand, attracting the attention of a large number of young people.
Su embroidery clothes worn on BJD, Su embroidery fans entering the game world, Su embroidery patterns "embroidered" on headphones... Zhang Xue, the inheritor of Su embroidery, an intangible cultural heritage, broke the "dimension wall" and made traditional culture a fashion favorite.
"Integrating traditional Su embroidery into modern life to form a better inheritance and development is our vision." Zhang Xue said proudly.
The ancient Chinese culture has a long history, including poetry, novels, drama, dance, music, painting, calligraphy, opera, and movies. Culture and art are like a hundred flowers blooming. Ancient skills and culture give young people the confidence to be confident and give them room for development.
Now, more and more young people are joining the ranks of inheriting and spreading traditional culture. They respect tradition and embrace innovation, and Chinese culture is passed down in their hands and radiates new vitality.
On May 30, a press conference held by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism announced that currently, more than 99% of the 1,557 national-level intangible cultural heritage representative projects have new media accounts and content that are continuously operating. According to platform data analysis, the current age of intangible cultural heritage short video creators is mainly "post-80s" and "post-90s", while the majority of intangible cultural heritage content viewers and consumers of intangible cultural heritage products are "post-90s" and "post-00s".
The majority of young inheritors inherit culture and art, and demonstrate development and innovation. With their youthful expressions, they tell a new chapter of cultural inheritance in the new era.
bring it on! Let us be the new young inheritors of "art" with one heart and one heart, work together, work together, and walk together to inherit and innovate the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
