Not long ago, a Xiangbao Folk Culture Festival was held in Qingyang, Gansu. During the festival, this "hometown of Chinese sachet embroidery" named by the Chinese Folklore Society plays a big role in culture. However, Mr. Yan, a tourist from Lanzhou City, said he would not come again because he spent hundreds of yuan at the festival to buy several exquisitely crafted sachets. When he returned to Lanzhou, he was told by an insider that these sachets were They are machine-produced and can be purchased in the streets and alleys of Lanzhou. “This situation actually reflects a contradiction between the protection and inheritance of folk culture and economic development,” said Wang Guisheng, a folklore teacher at Northwest Normal University. “It is an inevitable requirement of the times for folk culture to go to the market, but if the protection is not in place, the authentic The culture will change its taste." Dai Binglong, deputy mayor of Qingyang City, said that Qingyang has rich folk culture, including sachet embroidery, paper-cutting, Taoism, shadow puppets and folk songs. As a result, Qingyang has been honored by the Chinese Folklore Society as the hometown of Chinese sachet embroidery, the hometown of free-hand yangko, the hometown of folk paper-cutting, and the hometown of Zhou ancestral farming culture. Qingyang's traditional folk culture once encountered a crisis of inheritance, and some "unique skills" were at risk of being lost. In order to revitalize folk culture, Qingyang City began to take the road of integrating economy and culture. Since 2002, it has held the "China Qingyang Xiangbao Folk Culture Festival", and the cultural industry has developed rapidly. At present, there are more than 50,000 people engaged in the development of the sachet embroidery cultural industry, and there are more than 30 leading enterprises in the production and sales of folk art. The products are exported to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, as well as more than 10 countries including the United States, Japan and France. nation. The Xiangbao Festival uses an industrialized operation method to completely preserve and protect the local traditional folk cultural form. Wang Guisheng said that from the perspective of protection and research, scholars hope that the original culture can be inherited and carried forward. Although cultural change is a historical necessity, culture cannot lose its most typical characteristics in the process of going to the market, otherwise it will completely change its original appearance, and some of its original content will inevitably be lost, which will not only cause damage to traditional culture , and ultimately also affects the industrial market space developed based on a certain type of culture. "Cars go on the road, horses go on the road" "Protecting the original folk culture and commercial development can take different paths," said Ke Yang, professor at the School of Literature at Lanzhou University and vice chairman of the Chinese Folklore Society, "Although there are some differences between the two The contradiction can be solved by 'cars walking on the road and horses walking on the road'. "" Take the sachet, which used to be worn only on children during the Dragon Boat Festival to dispel poison and ward off evil spirits, but now it has become a sachet. It is a pure decoration, and its meaning has also been extended to pray for children, wish birthdays to the elderly, convey love to men and women, etc. Different sachets can be made according to different objects, different seasons, and different occasions. This is all developed to meet the needs of the market. " Ke Yang believes that machine production is a characteristic of the times, because the market demand is huge and manual production is too late. "But it cannot be denied that the most valuable products are still hand-made products. Machine-made products may be more exquisite, but they are all the same model, and the biggest feature of hand-made products is that each piece has its own characteristics, in which the human touch is condensed. Wisdom and creativity." Ke Yang believes that this is an "atavistic" phenomenon of cultural appreciation. People with superb craftsmanship occupy the high-end market. This trend shows that the market has the function of "big waves washing away the sand" and is conducive to folk culture. healthy development.
