Chapter IV Inscription on the World Heritage List

"What intangible cultural heritage?" Zhang He was stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had heard of this word.

"Professionalism, as defined by UNESCO, refers to the practices, performances, expressions, knowledge systems and skills and the tools, objects, artefacts and cultural sites associated with them, which are considered by groups, groups and, sometimes individuals, to be their cultural heritage. Liu Xingwu explained.

"We don't have a clear regulation in our country at the moment, and it is estimated that it will take a few years to improve, but the work is about to begin. Liu Xingwu then said.

Working in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, I have heard and seen some policy changes in the details, not to mention that they are still directly subordinate departments.

There are some things to be sent out, and the people at the bottom have had a lot of meetings before deciding.

Just like a personnel transfer, the person concerned already knows what is going to happen, and the notice is just a formality.

"You mean, the old dialect is considered an intangible cultural heritage?" Zhang He was shocked.

Intangible cultural heritage, this name sounds good, at least decent, and it is supported by the state.

"Of course, we have a long history in China, a vast land, and countless things left by our ancestors, and this work will be a long-term work that must be carried out forever. Liu Xingwu's tone was also a little excited.

For many years, the comrades of the cultural department have been laughed at by people in other units, and once this matter begins, the merits are enough to go down in history and benefit future generations, and who dares to look down on them.

Liu Xingwu works at the Cultural Affairs Bureau and also wants to do something.

"How do you get that?" asked Zhang He.

If you have professional questions, you must go to a professional person.

"I'll introduce you to a leader of mine, and you can talk to him. Liu Xingwu said with a smile.

Zhang He did not refuse, Liu Xingwu does not have a high status in the Cultural Bureau now, and he does not have much power in his hands.

After eating, Zhang He found an Internet café on the street, went in and searched for things about intangible cultural heritage, and finally figured it out completely.

The list of intangible cultural heritage is being prepared, and these materials are being collected all over the country, and he can be regarded as just in time, maybe this time it will be just right, and he will be directly selected for the first batch.

But we still have to wait for news from Liu Xingwu.

After staying at home for a few days, Zhang He accompanied Zhang Delin and several old men to chat and talk, and figured out the historical origin of the old language.

If you want to meet the leaders of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, you can't count in your heart, if you can't speak, people won't pay attention to you.

Although Zhang He grew up in Hugou Village, he really doesn't know much about the old dialect.

Zhang Delin They never forced the young people in the village to learn the old dialect, according to the old man's words, this craft must be liked to learn.

"Master, waiting for my good news, I can't say that I can do something big this time. Zhang He said mysteriously.

Liu Xingwu sent him a text message and had already booked a place.

Zhang He drove the car and entered the city, and in a hotel, Zhang He met Liu Xingwu.

"This time it is the person from the intangible cultural heritage survey team, named Feng Hao, who is the deputy director of our bureau. Liu Xingwu whispered.

Leading groups for the census of intangible cultural heritage have been gradually established throughout the country.

Generally, the head of the group is the deputy cadre in charge of cultural work, and the deputy head of the group is the director of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the other members are also the directors or deputy directors of each unit.

In the intangible cultural heritage census, the Cultural Affairs Bureau is the one who is at the forefront, so it naturally occupies a little more position.

Zhang He was in awe when he heard this, and followed Liu Xingwu in, and there was a middle-aged man sitting in the private room, with a big belly.

"Director Feng, hello, I am Liu Xingwu's high school classmate, my name is Zhang He. Zhang He said politely and stretched out his hand.

Feng Hao got up from his seat and also stretched out his hand to shake it.

He didn't underestimate the person in front of him, he had already heard Liu Xingwu say, he graduated from a bachelor's degree, worked in a factory for a few years, and now opened a factory in the city, he is by no means an idle person.

"Comrade Zhang He, hello, Xiao Liu should have already told me about my situation, I won't introduce it much, I'm very happy to see you today. Feng Hao said slowly.

"Sit down, sit down. Liu Xingwu poured tea into the cups in front of the two of them on the side.

The purpose of looking for Feng Hao is so that Huayin can still live, and Zhang He is very clear about this purpose.

"Isn't this what you told me a shadow puppet show?" Feng Hao said puzzled after listening to Zhang He's story.

Feng Hao cleared his throat: "If it's a shadow puppet play, the old voice can't be pulled out alone, and it has to be attributed to the shadow puppet play." ”

Zhang He's face changed slightly, and he was a little anxious.

The old tone is indeed a kind of shadow puppetry, but the singing tone is different.

When Zhang Delin and the others performed, they first set up a curtain and prepared to perform shadow puppetry, and the rest of the accompaniment and lead singer were behind the scenes and never showed up.

The signer is responsible for the shadow puppet performance of the whole audience, and the front hand holds the Yueqin in his arms, and the script is placed on the side, and the whole audience is singing.

Others also have their own duties, to show the whole storyline and express emotions to the audience.

In fact, Huayin's old dialect is the family drama of the Zhang family, except for the Zhang family, no one will meet again, it is very narrow-minded.

"Feng Ju, have you ever heard of the old dialect?" asked Zhang He.

Feng Hao smiled and said, "I've heard of it, but I really haven't heard of it." ”

"I can organize a performance, perform the old Huayin dialect, and show it to everyone. Zhang He's eyes were firm.

Intangible cultural heritage is a must-have, a task, and a goal.

Huayin Laohua is a unique way of singing, which belongs to shadow puppetry, but it cannot be attributed to shadow puppetry, it should have its own name and its own position.

Since the leading comrades have not seen it, let him see it.

"Comrade Zhang He, you are also from Guanzhong, you should know that there are many types of dramas in our Guanzhong, at least dozens of them are at the level of old-fashioned dialects, and they are all on the verge of extinction. Feng Hao said slowly.

"It's not impossible to play family dramas, you have proved your ability first, at least at a certain level, and then I'll think about it. ”

He didn't say anything to death, but he didn't directly agree either.

At this time, the influence of the old-fashioned voice is not great, and many people have never heard of it, let alone appreciate it.

If you want to be recognized by others, take out the real guy first.

Zhang He still understands this truth, it seems that this application for World Heritage is not so simple.

"Bureau Feng, then I'll start to prepare, and invite you to come over and watch the play when the time comes. Zhang He smiled.

After a few people had eaten, Zhang He drove Feng Hao back, and then left with Liu Xingwu.

"The first batch of places is limited, everyone is scrambling to go up, this batch can't get in, you have to wait for the next batch, I don't know when it will be. Sitting in the car, Liu Xingwu explained.

If you enter the intangible cultural heritage as soon as possible, you will get the protection and inclination of the policy as soon as possible.

Once it is included in the intangible cultural heritage, it will be recognized by the relevant departments, and the protection work will be carried out one after another.

Without entering the intangible cultural heritage, the inheritance and protection can only rely on everyone and themselves for the time being.

This was the first batch, and everyone was aiming for this opportunity.

There is a long way to go, Zhang He sighed in his heart.

Liu Xingwu rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "You want to perform, there are activities in Yue Temple, it's good to go there to perform, just to see if it's popular." ”

Xiyue Temple, just in Huayin City, is a good place for people to come and go during the festival.

"Yes. Zhang He nodded.

I can't leave Huayin recently, and I'll leave after the matter is dealt with.

Performing in Xiyue Temple definitely costs money, and he naturally doesn't care about this money.

But a new problem has come out again, the performance requires a few old men to come out, and he can't do it alone.

After going back, Zhang He organized the language and told Zhang Delin about it.

"Intangible cultural heritage?" Zhang Delin's face was surprised when he heard this.

Growing so big, I haven't heard of it.

"Once we are on the list of intangible cultural heritage, we can't stop it. Zhang He said with a smile.

Wang Yunxia on the side complained: "I said what did you go out to get these days, so you got some of this?"

"Father, Mom, this is the first batch, I have already contacted the leader, as long as we perform well, once we take it down, it will help us a lot. Zhang He said excitedly.

If you want to stay, a name is a must.

It's just that Zhang He didn't expect it to be so easy, and it was very smooth all the way.

For the old man, Zhang He has confidence, this art must have a favorite audience, otherwise it would not be so popular back then.

"You do this day by day, no matter what happens to your factory?" Wang Yunxia said in a stern tone.

"Someone else is in charge of the factory, and I can get out of the way. Zhang He explained to his mother.

He didn't run the factory alone, he had other partners.

As long as there is electricity and materials on the production line, it will not affect whether Zhang He is there or not, unless there is any huge problem, he needs to go back urgently.

"I'm going to perform at Xiyue Temple. Zhang Delin leaned back in his chair and took the Yueqin on the side in his hand.

I don't know how many years I haven't gone out to perform, and two lines of tears flowed from the corners of my eyes.

"Master, success or failure is in this move, you can believe me once. Zhang He did ideological work for the elderly.

"Okay, I'll trust my grandson once and give it a try. Zhang Delin agreed.

Now the Zhang family in Hugou Village can really pull up a complete stage team, and there is only one Delin class left.

If they don't go, there will be no other team to perform.

The list of intangible cultural heritage is, at the very least, a good thing.

Zhang Delin is not stupid in his heart, and he is not so stubborn, as long as he can develop the old style, he will have no problem fighting for a few more years.
