  In Pudong, Chen Jianwei, the city-level inheritor of Pudong storytelling, is busy tutoring students; In Baoshan, the scene of local people gathering together to "pick flowers" reappeared; In Huangpu, many residents of Wuliqiao have mastered the basic techniques of "rubbing, binding, cutting, mounting, pasting and tracing" of Shanghai lanterns, and can cooperate to complete small lanterns.

  Yesterday was Cultural and Natural Heritage Day. Shanghai has started the work of "non-legacy in the community" in an all-round way since last year. So far, it has taken the lead in completing the full coverage of inheritors’ cultural facilities at the three levels of city, district and town, and has built a basic inheritance and communication network of 16 districts, 219 street and town community cultural activity centers and 363 inheritors. Various forms and rich contents of inheritance and communication activities have been carried out in the city in a normal and large scale, and have been continuously extended to wider communities such as residential villages, campuses and business districts. "Every street and town has a legacy, every community has a successor, and every facility has activities" is a true portrayal of the "living" of the legacy.

  Take life as the carrier, live transmission.

  Intangible cultural heritage is a cultural form produced in farming society. With the change of lifestyle and concept, the intangible living space was once squeezed. "From ‘ Non-legacy into the community ’ To ‘ Non-legacy in the community ’ The word difference reflects the concept of letting intangible cultural heritage return to the community where it was bred and developed, and return to the lives of local people. " The relevant person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism said.

  In years of practice, each district has used 18 kinds of martial arts and explored a feasible path of intangible protection. Huangpu District is the old city of Shanghai. As of January this year, there are 67 intangible projects in the district, covering traditional skills, folk art, traditional art, folk customs, traditional medicine and many other categories. Since 2011, Lv Xiezhuang, the municipal inheritor of "Shanghai Lantern Festival", has started teaching in Wuliqiao community, taking the first step of "not leaving behind in the community" and has taught more than 3,000 students. "The Wuliqiao community is characterized by a large number of Shanghai schools, and inheritors enter the community to teach, which is very popular with everyone." Resident Li Aihua said. In addition, Shanghai-style micro-sculptures, Shanghai-style comic books, Shanghai dialect in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Shanghai-style old songs have also taken root in the community, which has narrowed the distance between intangible cultural heritage and residents.

  Adhering to the policy of "protection first, rescue first, rational utilization and strengthening management", Hongkou District Intangible Cultural Heritage Center rescued and recorded audio materials for nearly 50 hours, and successively edited and published 10 Yu Ben books, such as Hongkou 33 cultural shots, China folk story book Shanghai Hongkou Volume, Shikumen Life Oral and Jingwu Historical Classics. At the same time, it set up seven non-genetic learning bases and held Shikumen Lane amorous feelings.

  The essence of intangible cultural heritage is the practice of live transmission with people as the core and life as the carrier, and it is the lifestyle of a nation, a region, a village and even a community. Baoshan District has recently added seven rural non-genetic learning spots, and inheritors have entered the village to teach, thus popularizing the intangible heritage. "In Tangwan Village, the scene of mother-in-law and aunt getting together to pick flowers is back." Zheng Xiaorong, the inheritor of Luojing Cross, felt deeply. A stitch, a thread, and a piece of cloth, without stretching or proofing in advance, are completely in accordance with the potential of the cloth, and the front is crossed and the back is arranged neatly, which is called cross-stitch. Through the "non-legacy in the community", Zheng Xiaorong and other inheritors returned to the countryside with cross-cutting cultural and creative designs. Coasters, bookmarks and small mirrors quickly attracted villagers with more time. "Old objects need to be preserved, but they should also be innovated, so that items that carry intangible skills can become daily necessities in life again."

  Non-legacy comes from the people and should also return to the people. Zheng Xiaorong said that the inheritors also had many surprises when they entered the community and countryside. "Older villagers are familiar with traditional patterns, and the usage of marriage customs and the patterns with corners around them are all known from their mouths. Being left behind in the community is not only for inheriting skills, but also for excavating, collecting and sorting out the connotation of non-legacy in rural fields. "

  Community inheritance is inseparable from "innovation"

  There are 50 exhibitions, 83 music intangible projects and more than 700 inheritors. Behind this string of figures is the intangible brand "Guoyue Yayun" that Xuhui District has adhered to for four years. On the evening of June 6th, the latest issue of "Elegant Melody of National Music" — — As usual, the outstanding traditional music performance of the Yangtze River Delta was staged at Meilong Cultural Center, and the scene was packed. In addition to local community residents, many of the audience are students from music colleges in Zhejiang and Jiangsu. In June 2015, "National Music and Elegant Rhyme" was officially opened, and it has been published once a month since then, without interruption. The event invited music non-legacy projects from all over the country, and the original ecological national music such as Xi ‘an drum music, Hua ‘er, Quanzhou Nanyin, and Dong folk songs appeared successively.

  The key to the spread and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in the community is "innovation". "To let citizens know, be familiar with and love traditional culture, we must first innovate on the basis of tradition. Tradition does not stick to the past, and innovation does not leave the source." In order to facilitate learning, Zhu Lingbao, the municipal inheritor of Luodian Lantern, reformed the traditional method of tying lanterns, from the original binding method to the assembling method, that is, dividing a lantern into several geometric figures, tying them separately and then assembling them. "Once residents learn, the tied lanterns will be firm and not loose." The easy-to-use method of tying lanterns has greatly enhanced the public’s interest in colored lanterns and helped promote the popularization of intangible cultural heritage.

  "Non-legacy comes from the community, inheritance and communication are based on the community, and innovation and development are also in the community." Zhang Yafei, director of Yangpu District Cultural Center, said. Yangpu used to be a large industrial area, with many skilled craftsmen, and traditional skills and traditional fine arts accounted for a large proportion. In order to encourage the innovative development of non-legacy projects and explore the channels of productive protection, Yangpu supports inheritors to set up studios, start enterprises and explore industrial operation.

  At present, the municipal-level project building micro-sculpture has established enterprises in the cultural industrial park within its jurisdiction. The large-scale three-dimensional building micro-sculpture works "Panorama of Yuanmingyuan" and "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" have been acquired by the Beijing Park Management Center, and have been permanently collected in the China Garden Museum. The inheritors also assist the museum to make gardens that have disappeared in China history every year for research by scientific research institutions. The inheritor of Jiangwan Mianhua Project set up a personal enterprise, entered the city’s public cultural resources distribution platform, and spread the noodle making skills to community residents. The inheritors of Shanghai Flower Classic set up a studio to cooperate with cultural enterprises to develop paper-cut works of art and provide non-legacy cultural gifts for cross-regional cultural exchanges of the district government.

  "There are several key words, inheritance, inheritance and tradition. The most important thing is to pass on people, and finally protect our traditions. " Qiao Jianzhong, distinguished professor of Xi ‘an Conservatory of Music, who has been engaged in the research of intangible cultural heritage protection for a long time, believes that intangible cultural heritage protection needs the joint efforts of the government, inheritors and society. "Just like going against the current, although some original life scenes and labor scenes no longer exist, they can be preserved through audio and video, and they can be closely integrated with people’s lives through intangible cultural heritage in the community."
