Chapter 210: Dragon Boat Festival World Heritage Application

After finishing the tour of Junshan, Tian Chuan and Xiaohui returned to Yueyang City for a day. Tian Chuan originally had no suggestion to stay here, but Xiaohui said that he wanted to see Qu Yuan's ancestral hall.

Qu Yuan Temple, also known as Qu Zi Temple, is located near the entrance of the Miluo River into Dongting Lake, as the name suggests, it was established to commemorate the famous Qu Yuan of the Chu State. This Qu Zi Temple was built in the Qing Dynasty, Tian Chuan was not interested in this kind of cultural landscape established by the descendants with the fame of the ancients, and Xiaohui also had similar preferences to him, I don't know why he had to come to see it this time.

It is still early before the Dragon Boat Festival, and there are not many tourists in Qu Yuan's ancestral hall, which is a bit deserted. After the two of them bought tickets to enter, they walked around, and there were really no monuments to see. After leaving the ancestral hall, Tian Chuan asked Xiaohui, "How is it?"

Unexpectedly, Xiaohui said: "I don't regret it." It's a little bigger than I thought, which is pretty good. I read Qu Yuan's Chu Ci some time ago, and I was deeply moved. Now that I'm here, of course I'm going to take a look. In addition, isn't Sister Jingyi's Tianxin Mill also preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi promotion? ”

Hearing Xiaohui say this, Tian Chuan understood that the purpose of her coming here was to further narrow the relationship with Xu Jingyi through this incident, and prepare for the emulation of Empress E's daughter Ying in the future. He was a little moved, reached out and hugged Xiaohui in his arms, and said in her ear: "Little girl, you don't have to think so much about it now, just grow up seriously, and I have other things." ”

Xiaohui looked up at Tian Chuan seriously and said, "I'm not young anymore, I'm already 17 years old." Some of the students in our class have already started looking for a partner. In our hometown, in a year or two, we will be able to get married. ”

Tian Chuan nodded a little on her nose and said, "Don't care about others, you're still young anyway." Until you go to college, you're always a kid. It's right to be obedient, study hard, and grow up seriously. ”

However, since Xiaohui mentioned the Dragon Boat Festival, Tian Chuan carefully thought about some knowledge of later generations. In later generations, the state revised the distribution of statutory holidays, and included the three traditional Chinese festivals of Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival into the statutory holidays, which played a very great role in carrying forward the fine traditions of the Chinese nation and increasing national cohesion. But there are also regrets, that is, the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional festival that originated in the hinterland of China, was applied for the world intangible cultural heritage by a small country that became too arrogant because of inferiority, and became a festival of other countries, and even Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet, became a "foreigner", which made people laugh at the same time, but also gave birth to a sense of loss.

"By the way, while promoting the Dragon Boat Festival culture, we will apply for the World Heritage List for these traditional festivals!" As soon as Tian Chuan's idea jumped out, it took root irrepressibly. He no longer hesitated, and called Xu Jingyi directly: "Jingyi, Xiaohui and I are now at Qu Yuan Temple, Xiaohui wants to help you discover some useful publicity plans for the Dragon Boat Festival." One thing, I don't know if you've ever heard of the term 'world intangible cultural heritage'?"

Xu Jingyi on the other end of the phone was a little stunned, and said after a while: "I haven't heard of it, what's going on?"

"This is a convention recently introduced by UNESCO to protect traditional crafts and customs from being lost to history. (In fact, this convention was only introduced in 2003, and it was advanced a few years here for the sake of the storyline) is still a new thing, can we consider applying for protection for traditional festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Qingming Festival?"

Xu Jingyi was a little puzzled and asked: "We have always regarded these festivals as a major event, celebrating and commemorating them every year, how can they be annihilated and need to be protected?"

Tagawa was speechless for a while, but after a while, he said: "Applying to be included in the World Intangible Heritage List is not only to protect these festivals, but also to promote the traditional culture of our country and make it known to the world." In addition, some countries around our country, as a subject country of our country, have also had the habit of these festivals, if a small country preemptively applies for intangible cultural heritage, so that our traditional festivals become festivals of other countries, we don't look good on our faces, right?"

This is not only Xu Jingyi on the other end of the phone, but even Xiaohui next to him was amused by Tian Chuan's words. Xu Jingyi said: "Is there really such a shameless country?

"Yes, how could it not," Tian Chuan said as a matter of course, "haven't you heard that some countries say that Confucius is theirs, Cao Cao is theirs, and Sun Wukong is theirs, can't we say that Qu Yuan is also theirs? This must be guarded against. ”

In fact, Tian Chuan wants to do this thing for the Dragon Boat Festival, mainly to promote the zongzi of Tianxin Mill, and at the same time to promote the fame of Tianxin Mill across the country, and prepare for the next step of development and expansion.

He told Xu Jingyi: "We can contact the Yueyang Municipal Government to see if we can sponsor this year's Dragon Boat Festival commemorative activities, make the activities more solemn, and create a stronger atmosphere of traditional culture." In addition, I don't know if the government needs to come forward to apply for the world intangible cultural heritage, and if the government needs to come forward, then it is best to have a good relationship with the Yueyang Municipal Government and get a sponsorship or something. Anyway, if we pay for it, we must beat the fame of Tianxin Mill. ”

Xu Jingyi is even less confident now, and her research department has not yet set up a shelf. Tian Chuan knew Xu Jingyi's difficulties, and said: "My relationship with Li Tao You know that Li Tao's family has a great influence in the field of science, education and culture in China. ”

Xu Jingyi said: "Well, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and with our sponsorship, there is no reason why it can't be done." ”

Xiao Hui interjected next to him and said, "Since we happen to be in Yueyang now, let's try to communicate with the government departments here first, and with accurate information, we can know what to do next." ”

Tian Chuan also had this idea, and immediately agreed with Xu Jingyi, and they first contacted the local government department here. He called Li Tao and asked Xu Jingyi to go to Li Tao and go to the national propaganda department to consult about the Dragon Boat Festival's application for World Heritage Status, and it is best to settle the matter before this year's Dragon Boat Festival to facilitate the review of the world's intangible cultural heritage review department.

Because it is located in Qu Yuan's hometown, the birthplace of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Yueyang Municipal Government still attaches great importance to the commemoration of the Dragon Boat Festival, and will allocate funds to organize activities every year. In general, these activities include dragon boat racing and festivals.

Tian Chuan and Xiaohui approached the Municipal Bureau of Culture, where they were received by a section chief surnamed Liu. The two of them were too young, which made Section Chief Liu, who came forward to receive them, a little surprised. Listening to Tian Chuan ask about the activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, Section Chief Liu said helplessly: "As Qu Yuan's hometown and the birthplace of the Dragon Boat Festival, we must organize these activities. However, the allocation given by the state is limited, only a little more than 100,000 yuan, and the scale of the activity is limited. You said you have the idea of sponsoring a commemorative event, but you don't know what kind of support you can give?"

Tian Chuan said: "I want to organize the cultural forms involved in the Dragon Boat Festival activities more diversely, and create a stronger cultural atmosphere, so that the Chinese people and the world can recognize this cultural treasure of our country, and let Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit be more widely publicized in the new era." In terms of specific activities, we can add some cultural performances in addition to the traditional dragon boat racing and the memorial by the Miluo River, such as Guo Moruo's drama "Qu Yuan", which can be rehearsed and performed. In addition, for the promotion of zongzi culture, Qu Yuan's live performance in the river, etc., can it be planned in a unified way with activities such as dragon boat racing to form a complete commemorative performance. For this matter, we can take out a million yuan as the activity cost of this matter. ”

Regarding these performance forms proposed by Tian Chuan, Section Chief Liu was a little disdainful. As the leader of the Cultural Bureau of Qu Yuan's hometown, he has far more wisdom than ordinary people on how to commemorate Qu Yuan and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. But for the one million yuan in Tian Chuankou's mouth, his recognition suddenly increased. In the past, the Dragon Boat Festival was not without good programs, but a lack of funds, but now with money, he can make a big move to make this event impressive.

But Section Chief Liu immediately thought of another question: "What do you need us to do to give us such great support?"

Tian Chuan said: "As a company, we must not take out money for nothing, and we need three points of support from the government. First, all the bunting and street slogans and banners used in the commemorative activities must have the name and logo of our Tianxin Mill on them, and the font should not be less than half of the main text. Second, on the day of the commemoration of the Dragon Boat Festival, the zongzi used are provided by us, and the host has to make a dozens of words of introduction to our zongzi. We will give away rice dumplings to the audience on the spot, and you have to make this a part of the event. The last point is that we are going to open a branch in Yueyang City before the Dragon Boat Festival, and now this matter has not yet started, you must support us to complete all the formalities in a little more than a month, so that this branch will open before the fifth month of the lunar calendar. ”

Section Chief Liu asked about the situation of Tianxin Mill Mill, he had never heard of this company at all, and was very worried that the obituary was too exaggerated and the quality of the product was not up to par, so he finally let him take the blame. Tagawa turned on the computer, connected to the Internet, opened the website of Tianxin Mill, and showed him the actual situation. Seeing the hot situation on the Internet, as well as the performance of Tianxin Mill in the past six months since its opening, Section Chief Liu dispelled his worries and basically agreed with Tian Chuan's suggestion.

Tian Chuan then talked about the issue of applying for the World Heritage Site, Section Chief Liu had never heard of this matter at all, and after Tian Chuan's simplicity, he said that he needed to report to the leader and request it before he could finally make a decision, and Tian Chuan expressed his understanding.
