探索非物质文化遗产保护的新高度——从“文化自觉”走向“文化自信”

非物质文化遗产保护的呼声是在全球一体化的过程中出现的,这是人们意识到文化多样性存在的重要性,同时对自己民族国家传统文化反思及寻根的结果。因此,非物质文化遗产的保护实际上是不同国家＂文化自觉＂的开始。非物质文化遗产和物质文化遗产最大的区别在于：非物质文化遗产不是一个形而下的、具体的文物,它首先是一种观念,是一种认识,是一种形而上的意识形态。观念和意识形态是流动的、变化的和活态的,严格说它不是遗产,也不是过去了的产物,而是还存在于我们生活中的活生生的传统文化。如果我们能认识到这一点,并有意识地去认识它,纪录它,研究它,传承它,发展它,并让它成为当今文化的一部分,成为当今文化发展的基础,以及当今文化创新的资源,成为中国＂文化自觉＂中的一种教育方式,那么有关它的保护工作就有可能成为中国文化复兴的一个起点,也可能成为中国创意产业的一个新的增长点。

Exploring New Heights of Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection——From ＂Cultural Consciousness＂ to ＂Cultural Self-confidence＂

Calls for protection of intangible cultural heritage appears in the process of global integration,a result of the people＇s realization of the importance of cultural diversity and reflection of their traditional national culture,therefore,the protection of intangible cultural heritage of different countries is actually a beginning of ＂cultural consciousness＂.The biggest difference between intangible cultural heritage and tangible cultural heritage is that it is not a specific artifacts,it is above all a concept,a kind of knowledge,a metaphysical thing,and an ideology.Ideas and ideologies are fluid,changing and in living state,strictly speaking they are not a heritage,nor is it the product that has passed,but they are living traditional culture.If we can recognize this and consciously inherit it,develop it,record it,study it,understand it and let it become part of the culture and become the basis for cultural development,as well as the resources of today＇s culture innovation,and become a way of education of China＇s ＂cultural consciousness＂,then the protection of intangible cultural heritage is likely to become a starting point for China＇s cultural renaissance,or become a new growth point of China＇s new creative industries.
