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

Calls for protection of intangible heritage appears in the process of global integration,a result of the people's realization of the importance of diversity and reflection of their traditional national culture,therefore,the protection of intangible heritage of different countries is actually a beginning of cultural consciousness.The biggest difference between intangible heritage and tangible 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 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 heritage is likely to become a starting point for China's renaissance,or become a new growth point of China's new creative industries.
