On July 9, the online theme publicity of "Why China in a Prosperous Age" jointly guided by the Central Cyberspace Office, the National Cutural Heritage Administration, the People's Daily and the Cyberspace Commission of Shaanxi Provincial Party Committee was launched in Xi'an, Shaanxi. At the launch ceremony, guests engaged in interactive sharing: telling the story of the long history of Chinese civilization through the use of "one handed shovel" and "a piece of oracle bone"; Sharing the beauty of mutual learning among civilizations on the ancient Silk Road, arousing the cultural confidence that "my heart belongs to China".
With a shovel in hand, witness the starry sky on the land of China; A piece of oracle bone records the code of Chinese civilization. Prosperous China, why China? The cultural relics collected in the museum, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books give us answers, and the Chinese civilization that has gone through wind and rain and is constantly surging tells us the direction.
My heart belongs to China. Today, more and more people are questioning and exploring Chinese civilization, especially young people. They have a genuine love for Chinese civilization and a natural responsibility for the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.
Not long ago, there was a media report on a case where young people who love Lingnan local culture in recent years have begun to delve deeper into the production techniques of Guangcai, injecting more fresh elements into Guangcai. These young people fall in love with Guangcai not only because they have discovered its unique charm, but also because they have discovered the beauty of excellent traditional culture during the research process, thus generating a deep sense of responsibility.
Young people fall in love with intangible cultural heritage (ICH) not because they are curious for a moment, nor because they join in the fun, but because they truly believe that ICH is remarkable. From the thousands of ICH, we can trace the roots and souls of our nation, build cultural confidence, and write the "Danqing History" of the new era.
"Innovation, clear direction." What is even more commendable is that young people fall in love with intangible cultural heritage, not just admiring and observing, but integrating into it and actively innovating. They respect tradition, lay a solid foundation in learning traditional skills, and accumulate confidence for innovation; They seek breakthroughs for subsequent creations by copying and producing classic works; They try to play more new tricks and find the connection between tradition and trend.
So, we see that the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage is not limited to "inheritors of intangible cultural heritage"; We see that there are more and more young people with intangible cultural heritage, and their gameplay is becoming more and more fashionable; We also see that under multiple joint efforts, more and more people are exposed to, understand, and fall in love with intangible cultural heritage.
According to the rules of the ancients, each civilization continues the spiritual bloodline of a country and nation, requiring not only inheritance and protection from generation to generation, but also keeping up with the times and daring to innovate. By promoting excellent traditional Chinese culture, balancing inheritance and creative development, and focusing on creative transformation and innovative development, we can see a farther future and move forward with greater determination.
General Secretary Xi Jinping once pointed out: "A nation and a country must know who they are, where they come from, and where they are going." Touch the historical context, listen to the echoes of civilization, stimulate the sense of mission in the inheritance and innovation, constantly stimulate the motivation of young people to love the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and constantly encourage young people's innovation consciousness. Chinese civilization will continue to write more wonderful chapters.
