Fengxian has a lot of folk culture. Fengxian is adjacent to Hangzhou Bay in the south. In order to resist the Japanese invaders, many barracks were built in Ming Dynasty from Fengcheng to Zhelin. With the establishment of barracks, yamen and social stability, the number of people who moved to Fengxian from Zhejiang and Jiangsu increased year by year. Wuyue culture has also penetrated into all fields of Fengxian society, and combined with local culture, forming its own unique national and folk cultural characteristics. It is different from Wu Feng's appearance and his ambition to cross the wind.
The folk culture in Fengxian, such as lantern rolling, shadow play, Tian Ge, gongs and drums, folk poetry, paper carving, origami, wood carving, voiceless classes and various folk dances, absorbed the essence of Wu and Yue culture and had a prosperous period. However, due to various historical reasons, some of Fengxian's folk culture has been preserved and developed, and quite a few of them are in the stage of loosening and stopping, with different status quo.
1, rolling lights, origami, folk poems, etc. , healthy development. These folk cultures have been well excavated and utilized, and have been active in the literary world of our region for a long time, winning prizes frequently in national and provincial and municipal competitions, and have been awarded the titles of "hometown of folk lantern", "king of origami" and "king of poetry" by the cultural department. At the same time, through continuous innovation in practice, it has initially established its own cultural brand characteristics, resulting in better social and economic benefits. Wood carving has become a brand product of domestic and foreign enterprises.
2. Shadow play, paper carving (paper-cutting) and silent lessons developed in the 1980s and early 1990s, and basically stopped in the middle and late 1990s. Qi Xian primary school once held a shadow play class tour, and also established Fengxian Shadow Play Research Association. At present, the activities of shadow play have basically stopped; Only Zhuanghang Primary School has some special activities, and there are several fans in the new temple. Except for a few 80-year-old people, the Yin Qing class has been abandoned.
3. Tian Shan songs, gongs and drums, etc. , basically no activity. In the fifties and sixties, the activities of excavating and sorting out the art of gongs and drums calligraphy were also flourishing. However, due to the lack of inheritors and the lack of attention to protecting this folk cultural heritage, it has disappeared in Fengxian. Now Nanhui District has been carried forward and become the first batch of national and folk cultural protection projects in China.
A new cultural phenomenon has appeared in Fengxian. In the past four years, the series of cultural activities of "Meet the Summer by the Sea" Square have become more and more prosperous and become a beautiful landscape of Fengxian culture. The people love it, like it and actively participate in this activity. At present, the district cultural department has begun to declare Shanghai's characteristic culture.
Fengxian Kite Festival is the only influential tourism festival cultural activity in Fengxian, which has been held for ten years, showing its status and value. Fengxian Kite Festival has become a characteristic cultural brand of Shanghai Tourism Festival, which has improved the popularity of Fengxian. However, the current influence and popularity are not satisfactory, and there is a big gap compared with Nanhui Peach Blossom Festival and Qingpu Dragon Boat Race.
"Hanguang Porcelain Art" and "Beijing Opera Ancient Costume Exhibition" are not native culture of Fengxian, but we should accept them with a boundless heart. As a new characteristic culture and art in Fengxian, it is conducive to enhancing the image of Fengxian and also conforms to the cultural tradition of Fengxian Chongxian. At the same time, calligraphy, photography, literature, drama, performance, singing and other art forms in our region have the potential to create brand projects with distinctive culture.
