Protect Non-Material Cultural Heritage
As we all know,cultural heritage plays an important role in maintaining the continuity of the nation's civilization and sustainable development.But due to the development of globalization and other reasons ,more and more non-material cultural heritages are on the verge of distinction.So its protection has become an urgent and important task at present.
What is non-material cultural heritage exactly?It refers to various manifestations of traditional culture handed down from generation to generation and closely related to people's life ,including various pratices ,performances ,festivals ,traditional knowledge and skills ,the related instruments ,artifacts and cultural places .For example ,paper-cutting and Dragon Boat Festival have been regarded as non-material cultural heritage not only by our country but also by the United Nations.
Then how can we protect the intangible culture?First of all,we can introduce special programmes and columns on TV or in the newspapers and magazines to arouse people's awareness of its preservation.Second,we should have a rational attitude towards the acceptance of foreign cultures.Last but not least,we can enforce laws to intensify the protection of non-material cultural heritage.
