The duty officer of the Hubei Provincial Cultural Department said: "these 4 projects are all national and provincial" non heritage items ". The reason why they are selected in the exhibition hall of World Expo Pavilion is because they conform to World Expo's choice criteria for non heritage items: they have not disappeared completely, they can carry out productive development and have strong visibility.

In these four non heritages, Hong'an's embroidery (insoles) and the traditional textile techniques are from Hong'an County, Huanggang, the first general county of China.

The traditional textile technology of Hong'an's big cloth is a traditional Chinese characteristic or even a "red" process.

When Chinese traditional textile technology is more or less in the marginalized position, World Expo has brought it out of the boudoir to the world.

Interpretation: Red feelings of "Hong'an big cloth"

The traditional textile technology of Hong'an's big cloth is commonly known as "Hong'an big cloth".

Hong'an Da Bu is a pure cotton textile treasure made by the people in the Hong'an County of the old revolutionary base area. For hundreds of years, local farmers have the custom of spinning and weaving. During the war years, the Red Army soldiers used large cloth to make military uniform sheets.

After liberation, many generals still prefer to use their coarse cotton cloth to make sheets and clothes.

Dong Biwu, Li Xiannian, Chen Xilian, Han Xianchu, Qin Jiwei and other party and state leaders in Beijing still use their hometown "Hong'an big cloth" to make bedding and other daily necessities.

"This is the distillation of the spirit of Hong'an. She carries the memory of history, and stirs up the feelings of the people of Hong'an. It fully demonstrates the Hong'an spirit and highlights the good image of" first general county of China ". It is worthy of being a beautiful cultural feast and a valuable spiritual wealth.

Xiong Liangxiao, Secretary of the CPC Hong'an county Party committee, said.

Freshmen: let tradition go out of the boudoir.

What gives birth to this ancient art? It's culture and creativity.

Different from tangible material and cultural heritage, intangible cultural heritage has been in a dilemma because of its strong local characteristics and traditional ways of inheritance.

From the point of view of intangible cultural heritage protection, the inheritance and protection of production is more vitality and continuity than salvage protection.

For a long time, the issue of heritage protection and market development of traditional skills has always been concerned by all circles. How can we protect the heritage chain of traditional skills and find a balance between market development and preservation of "non heritage" flavor?

In the face of this traditional skill, we are holding the national "heritage", while others may focus on the international "industry".

Protecting the traditional skills through the market is the best way nowadays. When we are dealing with traditional skills, we recognize the tremendous power of cultural added value. The government and enterprises have gone on the road of "conscious" inheritance. With our creativity, such traditions as textile technology have gone out, leaving the "boudoir", going into the World Expo and heading for the world.

The world sees Chinese culture

China is an unparalleled country with cultural details in the world.

This time, World Expo will usher in a large number of overseas Chinese, foreign guests and media attention.

This is a rare opportunity to promote traditional textile skills and show the world the Chinese culture.

The exhibition of Hong'an's traditional textile technology shows not only the fruitful achievements of China's intangible cultural heritage protection, but also the popularity and influence of Chinese traditional culture in the world. At the same time, it also promotes the industrialization of Chinese traditional textile technology and enriches the cultural connotation of Chinese traditional culture.

The world sees a culture of great civilization with 5000 years of civilization, which is exceptionally rich and prosperous, and has profound cultural implications in culture.

Inheritance: we have a long way to go

Traditional textile technology as intangible cultural heritage is heritage or property. The way to weigh this answer is a long way to go.

The premise of trade-off is inheritance.

Inheritance is the core of traditional textile technology and the protection of all traditional arts. To better inherit "tradition", it is necessary to introduce "traditional" project as a cultural industry and introduce market-oriented operation, which is a "living protection" for the "traditional" resources.

The so-called "market protection" refers to the pformation of "tradition" and its resources into productive forces and products through production, circulation, and sales, resulting in economic benefits, and promoting the development of related industries, so that "tradition" can be actively protected in production and be passed down.

At the same time, to explore the "traditional" market protection operation, the first thing we need is modern people's acceptance and respect for culture, and the second is to bring economic value.

Therefore, the "traditional" market protection can not be commercialized naked, but ignores its cultural connotation.

If the cultural connotation is neglected and the commercialization of traditional skills is blindly done, I think the products produced like this will not be any more expensive, and the product may not only lose the "real" of the original "traditional skills", but even the "name" may be smashed.

Therefore, we should carry forward the "tradition". We inherit and continue the culture.

Chinese traditional textile technology is long, deep, beautiful and colorful. If we want to let more people understand China and understand the traditional textile skills of China, we must let these skills flourish and circulate, so this requires our joint efforts.

We should carry out the operation to enrich and develop the operation while carrying on and protecting.

In order to let traditional textile skills be handed down, we must let them shine again.
