Extended data:
Some people think that the concept of intangible cultural heritage is richer and broader than the concepts of folklore and folk culture. I don't think so. On the contrary, "folklore" and "folk culture" are more widely studied than intangible cultural heritage. A simple truth is that folklore studies not only intangible cultural heritage, but also material cultural heritage.
Material folklore, social folklore and spiritual folklore are all the objects of folklore research. This view does not contradict the spirit of UNESCO's Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage and Declaration on Cultural Diversity.
Due to the collectivity of folk culture, in the final analysis, folk culture promotes social consistency. Folk culture strengthens national identity, strengthens national spirit and shapes national character, which is the core element of folk custom formation.
