South Korea and the successful inscription of the cultural heritage festival Thinking

 Interview motivation
11 24, South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival officially identified by UNESCO as a Gangneung Dano Festival with the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, What are the differences? the World Heritage List, what experience is worth learning? how to strengthen the cultural heritage protection in China?
Part 1 Dragon Boat Festival

recognize the new Republic of Korea Beijing News: South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival and the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival in the end is kind of a relationship?
Wang Yan: the macro level that the culture of East Asia were in a circle, both the East Asian countries and cultural unity, has its from books of. specific to this matter, South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival and Chinese Lunar New Year Dragon Boat Festival in early May, reflecting the East Asian cultural unity in time; but the two have some differences on specific content, such as the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival includes eating the dumplings, race, commemoration of Qu Yuan and a series of traditional Chinese culture content; while South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival is actually a dance, shaman ritual, folk art exhibition and other content composition, but also reflects the sparse nature of the sub-culture in East Asia . Characteristics of East Asian unified geopolitical differences and its sub-thinning has been demonstrated at the same time.
Decline: South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival is a festival in itself, mainly the protection of worship places such as gods and heroes, and some mass entertainment activities. It was originally called Gangneung Dano Festival. not the same. the South as the North so little to eat dumplings, Chinese New Year the way, even in the length of time, and have some differences. Northern Chinese New Year long time, the South will soon be farming, climate reasons, it is more short. past South had a saying: features. and this combination of universality and specificity, is the folk customs of a very important feature.
Therefore, even if South Korea from us, as a share of the wealth of human culture, they themselves would have a lot variation, are not we, and they are two different nations, different countries, also has been a long history of the different path of development. And, now they are the Dragon Boat Festival, there are other activities, including performances, the national dance (art group) invited, these very different with us.
Part 2
face not confident attitude
Beijing News: look at how South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival World Heritage List?
Liukui Li: I think this is not a bad thing. from the entire human point of view, culture is the diversity of development, every nation of the world must make its own contribution to cultural development. It should be appreciated, the exchange of human culture one of the situations.
Beijing News: It happened later, some people feel that their own cultural heritage, cultural creation by others of We should also see the shared cultural heritage is an honor for us. Our cultural products is another iconic, imitation and even re-creation, the embodiment of our contribution to human culture. In this issue, two views If combined, it is easy Xiangde Tong. We recently reported a common cultural heritage of Mongolia mmm long tone.
This is the mutual respect they all learn something, the truth is the same.
example, South Korea, first of all They recognize the origin of this festival is, of course the age of Chinese traditional culture is the choice of time frame for the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, we silently feel that the culture we have created for us to understand things the Chinese people to know natural, meaningful understanding of the personnel. South Korea to accept these symbols as their own culture as part of the system, do we think we lost something? Yeah we did not lose.
Beijing News: Some people are not confident Unfortunately, whether relating to the history and modern times?
Decline: We do not put everything a hundred years of history with this link. The African Union's Secretary-General expressed the meaning of this: We have been independent for a long time, so it should be look forward, to promote the awakening of a nation can not rely on remembering the past, but to get rid of the past. I think these words make sense, the performance of national self-esteem. We are used to anchor on the spirit of the past, not the return Unfortunately, too, is the shelter of the Zuyin. Fortunately, we have almost three thousand years without interruption of history, the history of modern people are proud enough to cause a lot of things really, the modern elements so that we can not move forward more. But a man self-reliance, a National self-introspection and self-confidence or need more, this is going. everything is pushed to the external factors immaturity.
Liukui Li: In fact, in some sense, some people have already Nationalization of the Dragon Boat Festival. On the contrary, our own cultural heritage, but also learn some foreign nation, say, Buddhism, and Tibetan Buddhism, are we borrowed and later made important contributions to our nation, and not to say that following and over, to not have their own new creations.
this is our own, and now can no longer be said to be foreign religion. This principle is the same. So I say, culture from one nation to another nation from one to another historic environment historic environment, from one group to another group, variation is inevitable.
so talking about the similarities and differences, they still involve the development of human culture we are from a general macro- point of view, or in isolation from our own point of view of a nation. The two seem to mind the starting point of the surface is different from very different, but in fact the root of both is a attitude: not to that particular tolerant, more long-term approach and vision to understand this matter. We recognize the position of things, first, the position of all mankind, one nation's position. peoples to the whole human race, of course, is one component. If We just saw a very narrowly and did not see one of our nation we are an integral part of all mankind, it would produce a sense of superiority: the things our nation can not be other peoples ; possession , and Santa Claus in front of many of our stores,
Reflection Part 3
Status of Chinese Literature and security
Beijing News: the debate in this so-called behind, we feel that the ethnic and cultural relations between the entanglement does not seem easy.
Wang Yan: Yes. ethnic, cultural, political, belonging to three different levels, not the one to one relationship, not a culture of a nation can only be owned by all, a national monopoly of a culture. Culture is a public institution of mankind, if this kinds of culture has a universal significance, that it will spread beyond all bourne, and the boundaries of modern nation-state is then formed. Dragon Boat Festival is one example. Another example of ancient Greek culture after the Lost at home, but kept in Arab culture, and later get it back from the West and to the present, makes Plato and Aristotle were able to flourish.
Beijing News: It is said that South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival is the Chinese people's thinking How to protect China's cultural heritage. Status of Chinese culture to the overall protection?
Wang Yan: In this regard, we do not enough. comes to culture, at least three different levels: conservation, heritage and development of innovation. some cultural preservation is the first carrier to exist, for example, once the damage to old buildings can not be copied. What is the meaning of heritage? or in old buildings, for example, require specialized maintenance repair workers and technology, in order to do If the old innovation even worse. For example, many of the best of ancient buildings are now gone, to understand the ancient technology of building technology, few workers, some technologies I am afraid lost. this continues it will result in a loss of innovation and development in the cultural basis.
Beijing News: the reasons for this state of affairs what?
Decline: How many of our wonderful material and intangible cultural heritage after decades of changing is eliminated! you think about our The Dragon Boat Festival is not to eat the rest of the dumplings yet? childhood Beijing Dragon Boat Festival left me the deepest impression is the colored wire wrapped around the wrist. boat race but also the conditions of water, and only a few places in the south to take place. Cultural Revolution many of the intangible cultural heritage is considered to be began the formation of the fifties. People generally think that we are engaged in the great cause that had never, to be with all the old things and the discarded, to some extent lead to cultural fragmentation. so many material and non-material cultural heritage is not surprising that the disappearance.
twenty years this seems more concerned about a variety of cultural heritage, and the actual eyes fixed on nothing more than money, that sounded good point is the fundamentally change this short-sighted, utilitarian attitude, not their own cultural traditions will have a correct understanding. the traditional cultural heritage of the past two years to treat some of the misconceptions about the practice are associated with this attitude.
Part 4 < br> attention to cultural . In the recent study of international development, the world is no longer the remainder of the culture as non-essential variables, but with great attention the importance of culture. a kind of culture-centered development paradigm is emerging. foreign scholars even believe that , there is no tradition of innovation do not care; traditional lines is not too rigid. But I feel that China is still relatively far from that goal. Now we speak of a harmonious society, in fact, means that from the simple pursuit of GDP growth, turning the pursuit of the implementation of a cultural value . which includes the emphasis on cultural and social development in China's economic importance. If modern utilitarian point of view may be that culture is the afterthought; of the British Industrial Revolution, but people found that industry stagnation once the revolution occurred, then some kind of cultural content is dependent on the injection, in order to obtain the driving force for further development.
So, as writing a said: subjective to create a culture, but relationship?
Wang Yan: the modern developed countries, the value created by the cultural industry and the share of possession in the national economy is even more alarming. South Korea in recent years established a will see a lot of tangible and intangible, material and non-material culture, are marked with brought a lot of economic benefits for South Korea, but also expanded the Korean culture. This gives us inspiration, China to develop, it can not be satisfied with just doing the world's factory, but production never pants, shirts, and development resources should be vigorously low and high value-added into the culture industry, to vigorously promote the cultural content of export products, export of cultural products and more. Otherwise, many from the Chinese culture will become someone else. our children to learn classical Chinese culture, may to study abroad to learn, which is not inconceivable.
Beijing News: the protection of cultural heritage is a social welfare undertakings, the main cause of the power come from?
Wang Yan: History cultural heritage protection, national, social and personal responsibility are. the government's responsibility in addition to the necessary funding, primarily to formulate relevant laws and the introduction of appropriate policies, reform the existing cultural system, etc., but in the specific implementation, we can not expect too much from the government. governmental organizations, business organizations have their own specific goals, not to culture as the goal. In this regard, there is also government failure, market failure problems, so save the cultural heritage, to achieve cultural development and innovation, we need the appropriate organizational structure and mechanisms, mainly by civil society, non-profit organization that completed the third sector to operate.

World Heritage List in Part 5 Revelation
New Beijing News: In general, South Korea Gangneung Dano Festival World Heritage, what kind of revelation to us?
Wang Yan: from a higher or a more macro perspective, this incident also raised a contemporary Chinese people wake up: culture has no boundaries. ancient traditional culture of East Asia is now the inheritance of different nation-states, such a common , Japan and South Korea in front of us, but also in promoting East Asian common should be respected, regardless of whether it can bring us benefits; second, what should be counted, what is needed cultural relics protection. of the intangible cultural heritage as intangible cultural heritage should also be as important according to their degree of parental . protection of heritage is a money thing, do not always want to make money. to make money should be the by-products.
Liukui Li: in fact, and the Chinese nation in the long history of dealing with the issue, we have many places should be reviewed. We towards their own cultural traditions, not very loving at all times, sometimes we do very caring. And South Korea and Japan, and in these places, there are things we can learn from. more than just them, even several countries in Europe, they have done for us, but also instructive. people learn from us, or to accept from us, they do something about development, and even flourish, in which case We will of course think of myself: Oh, we have not done enough! So I think at this point they gave us a lesson or even more than the sake of discussion, but rather how we learn by analogy, to own things well.
the same time I Another point is that not only do their own thing, as a member of the global village, we also undertake or complete a significant contribution to the development of human culture. Whether the development of our national culture from the standpoint of our efforts to build a new culture or from the development of human culture to consider the diversity of development paths to go, every nation should learn from other people some of the strengths and outstanding achievements, and make contributions to the world. either from the position of human beings, or from the national standpoint, we have a responsibility the obligation to take care of our own national heritage. Only by maintaining our own cultural tradition is good, can we get our culture more than a reference, more than a resource.
