Sacrificing Qu Yuan, planting wormwood, eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. When the custom of Dragon Boat Festival is preserved in the traditional way, how can we inherit its cultural connotation? When traditional festivals are drifting away in modern society, what innovative symbols should we give to traditional culture? When many countries celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, how to present the flavor of China in sharing? News 1+ 1 for your analysis.
Moderator Wang Yuejun:
Hello, welcome to today's news 1+ 1.
Yesterday was the Dragon Boat Festival. How should I spend it? What did you do? A survey was conducted among 1000 middle school students in a certain place before the festival. As a result, 90% of the students only answered eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats, which actually reflects a sign that our national traditional festivals are marginalized and superficial to some extent. Now, it is suggested that we should declare the world intangible cultural heritage for the Dragon Boat Festival. Then, can such an application for world intangible cultural heritage enhance the vitality and influence of our traditional festival now? Today, we specially invited Zhang Jiangang, deputy director of the Cultural Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, to welcome you. Director Zhang, let's take a look at the progress of applying for the Dragon Boat Festival.
(short film)
On May 29th, 2009, the host of Wen Chao Tian Xia:
According to Xinhua News Agency, the person in charge of Hubei Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center said that Hubei Province has declared the Dragon Boat Festival as a masterpiece of human intangible cultural heritage on behalf of China, and the application for the Dragon Boat Festival has entered the preliminary evaluation stage.
Comments:
Dragon Boat Festival is the intangible cultural heritage of mankind. In this year's Dragon Boat Festival, people not only eat zongzi and race dragon boats, but also link them together. It is understood that in the second half of this year, UNESCO will conduct a review and then make a specific announcement. So what is the consideration of this declaration? What are the aspects involved?
Director of Qingjiang Hubei Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center:
This declaration is a masterpiece of the intangible cultural heritage of mankind. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Culture, we made a declaration text and then edited a declaration film. Dragon Boat Festival has four units, one is Zigui and Huangshi in Hubei, and the other is Suzhou in Jiangsu and Miluo in Hunan. This paper introduces some names, customs, origins and a series of manifestations of the Dragon Boat Festival, and then goes through some declaration procedures with the relevant declaration areas.
Comments:
In fact, apart from China's efforts, South Korea took the lead in announcing the Dragon Boat Festival as early as four years ago. In 2005, gangneung danoje festival was declared by UNESCO as a masterpiece of human oral and intangible cultural heritage, which aroused strong concern and controversy among Chinese people at that time, and even sounded the voice of defending the Dragon Boat Festival, which was quite tragic. What is the public's attitude towards the application for the Dragon Boat Festival?
Some websites have investigated this application. Nearly 30,000 people participated in the survey "Do you support China's application for the Dragon Boat Festival?" Nearly 90% of them supported it, and 74.9% of them expressed confidence in this application. So, what does Hubei Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center think, as the sponsor?
Qingjianghe:
Theoretically, this should be said to be very certain. A few years ago, the Korean Dragon Boat Festival did set off a wave in China. At that time, the society thought that, just like trademarks, South Korea registered our trademarks, but this was not the case. The Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea has something to do with the Dragon Boat Festival in China, but it is not the same thing. There are some differences in expression, presentation and some customs between South Korea and China. There is no contradiction, conflict and influence between Korean newspaper Dragon Boat Festival and China newspaper Dragon Boat Festival.
Comments:
Nowadays, when the Dragon Boat Festival has become a specific festival culture in China, its inheritance has penetrated into people's lives. How should we treat this application? What is the purpose of our application? Can the application for the Dragon Boat Festival revitalize this traditional festival?
Moderator:
Everyone feels very sure about the application for the Dragon Boat Festival, but there are also some controversies. We also see that, like the application for the Dragon Boat Festival, some people say that it is only external forces that promote the development of our traditional festivals. How to treat this controversy?
Special Observer for Zhang Jiangang:
I'm thinking about applying for the job of world heritage. I think our rules have changed a little this time, and there is no limit to how many items you can propose. We are about dozens of general packages, so I think the hope of successful application is still great. As for the United States and South Korea, I think we can do it separately. I went to Korea some time ago to discuss this issue with them. I think Korean society may have been ahead of us in the process of modernization, so they attach great importance to cultural heritage and cultural resources. So they can take the lead, and I think it is also worth congratulating.
Moderator:
For example, the Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea is called Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, some contents are different, but the origin should be basically similar. Its successful application will have a certain impact on our application?
Zhang Jiangang:
It seems that UNESCO does not mean that only one country will be approved to have such a custom on this issue. After all, it depends on the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, which actually existed in many ethnic groups in many parts of the ancient East, so I think there should be no conflict.
Moderator:
For festivals like Dragon Boat Festival, there are many corresponding activities or some traditional customs. Just now we mentioned that middle school students in a certain place only eat zongzi and row dragon boats, including we now have different views on this. Is it to commemorate Qu Yuan or Wu Zixu, or is it a festival to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters? How can we have a clear understanding of the Dragon Boat Festival?
Zhang Jiangang:
I think festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival actually have a long development process and do have a feature. In fact, at the earliest time, the Dragon Boat Festival was mainly when people entered the summer and thought about a festival. Just like we celebrated the Spring Festival in spring, summer was a summer festival.
Moderator:
Why should we celebrate this festival?
Zhang Jiangang:
By this time, we know the changes of seasons, and there are many things in our bodies that have various connections with nature. For example, in summer, the weather is very hot, and we may need to adjust our bodies in some places. We may be exposed to more, such as humid and sultry weather, so we need to adjust our bodies, sometimes it is not enough, and we need some herbs to adjust, so there is a trend of drinking realgar wine, soaking in water with wormwood or calamus, taking a bath and so on. This is one aspect.
On the other hand, I think this festival may have some customs related to our farming mode of production, so for example, we Manchu may be a hunting nation, so after this festival, he will shoot arrows. In other agricultural countries, he can row dragon boats or catch ducks. His activities in the water may be related to his agricultural activities.
On the other hand, in its development process, it may be associated with some specific historical events and historical figures. At that time, China was also vast, so after different historical events, this solar term would be added, and different places would add different contents. So, just like the Dragon Boat Festival we declared this time, it is mainly to commemorate Qu Yuan in Hunan, Hubei and Wu Zixu in Suzhou.
Moderator:
When we say to carry forward our festivals, we mean to carry forward our national culture to some extent. Let's go back to the application for world intangible cultural heritage. What do you think will happen to our successful application for the Dragon Boat Festival if it is successful?
Zhang Jiangang:
First of all, of course, the significance of the declaration is to show that our government and all the people are aware of the importance of protecting cultural heritage. It has such determination and such desire to fully explore and protect our traditional culture. This is also to let people all over the world know about it and welcome them to understand our customs. I think this is the most important significance.
An international organization like UNESCO has been working hard for the peaceful development of all mankind and promoting such representative works to the world to certify such things. I think it will really be better than our own. If we go out and spread them out one by one, the effect will be completely different.
Moderator:
You just mentioned that it can express our attitude and let the outside world see a lot of our inner things. But from our internal point of view, just from our internal point of view, what role will the application play in the inheritance of our culture?
Zhang Jiangang:
At least, the first thing to apply for the World Heritage is to let everyone know such a thing. For example, how many versions of the Dragon Boat Festival story are there? Actually, I don't think many people know it. I just saw it on the show. Everyone knows that there are many forms of eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats. For example, in Ningbo, Zhejiang, there are some festivals called Cao 'e Festival. We didn't really explore these contents more. Through such extensive publicity, people may find such information and pass it on.
Moderator:
I think it will undoubtedly cost some money to apply for World Heritage. You may feel that you will use manpower and financial resources. What kind of proportional relationship will this Dragon Boat Festival application be from the perspective of cost and income?
Zhang Jiangang:
The cost depends on how we calculate it. If you just make a text, including shooting some TV dramas, then I don't think the cost is very big. In the past two years, our governments at all levels have been promoting public cultural services. Through the process of applying for world heritage, mass cultural activities will also be carried out. What has been done in this regard? I think it's not just a project to apply for inheritance. It is actually related to the cultural life of all our people. This should be said to be worth the money.
Moderator:
The topic that audience friends talked with you today was triggered by the declaration of the world intangible cultural heritage on the Dragon Boat Festival. How to further develop the connotation of our traditional festivals? We'll continue later.
It should be said that, as we mentioned earlier, there are some signs that a series of traditional ethnic festivals such as the Dragon Boat Festival marginalize it and make it superficial. Indeed, this indifference to the connotation of this traditional cultural festival is a reality that we have to face. Next, let's watch a movie to find out.
Comments:
"On May 5, the weather was fine, and Huayang sang Xiaoying by the river. The drums rang three times and the red flag opened, and two dragons jumped out of the water. " This is a poem written by a poet in the Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago, which describes the lively scene of the Dragon Boat Festival. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The popular folk saying is that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. On this day, people will eat zongzi, insert calamus, drink realgar wine and race dragon boats. Nowadays, when the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival with a history of more than 2,000 years has been passed down and become a national statutory holiday, some people call for "Don't let the Dragon Boat Festival become the Zongzi Festival", and some people think that "the Dragon Boat Festival is still over, the Zongzi is fragrant, and the dragon boat is galloping" ... What is left except these Dragon Boat Festival? "
Recently, an online survey on the Dragon Boat Festival shows that 62.5 1% of the respondents think that people ignore the tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival and pay insufficient attention to it. 37.49% people think that the Dragon Boat Festival is too commercial. There are 4 1.8 1% people who want to rest at home during the Dragon Boat Festival.
In fact, due to different regional and cultural backgrounds, this year's Dragon Boat Festival activities are uneven. In the south, especially in Hubei Province, where Qu Yuan's hometown is located, and some provinces and cities that jointly initiated the application for the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival activities are very lively. The highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival in Zigui, Hubei is the dragon boat race. Some contestants' hats are also woven into three birds with bamboo and bamboo shoots, symbolizing that Qu Yuan's sister calls back her brother. On the bank of East Lake in Wuhan, a group of college students dressed in Hanfu offered sacrifices to Qu Yuan. In other parts of China, the activities of the Dragon Boat Festival are more related to eating zongzi, such as the zongzi-making competitions held in various places, among which Nanjing and Nanjing held special competitions for foreigners to make zongzi. For some office workers, it is most important to travel during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. Dragon Boat Festival has been simplified as going to the supermarket to buy some quick-frozen zongzi. Many people know little about its cultural significance, except that it is related to commemorating a poet named Qu Yuan.

Survey: 90% of students only know that adults who eat zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival think the festival is monotonous.
How to popularize the cultural connotation of traditional festivals?
Happy Zongzi Festival! Yesterday was the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in China, but many primary and middle school students used Zongzi as their first greeting when they met.
On the 27th, Chongqing Huaxia Sinology Research Institute conducted a survey on middle school students' understanding of the Dragon Boat Festival. The results show that in the minds of more than 90% students, eating zongzi has almost become the whole content of the Dragon Boat Festival.
People know little about how to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
This survey was conducted among more than 1000 junior high school students in five middle schools, including Zishui Middle School and Chaoyang Middle School. The students are also unambiguous about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, saying that it is to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan, and eating zongzi is to "prevent Qu Yuan's body from being eaten by fish in the river, so throw zongzi into the river".
But the students don't know how to go to this traditional festival. What they can list is pitiful. More than 90% of the students can only list eating zongzi, rowing dragon boats, hanging Ai Chen and drinking realgar wine, but few students can answer them.
In the survey, for the question "How do you want to spend the Dragon Boat Festival", 65% of the students replied: "Eat zongzi and spend the holidays with your parents at home"; 17% of the students replied: "You can go out and have a look around"; Another 14% of the students replied, "I hope there will be more holidays and less homework."
Dragon Boat Festival has more cultural connotations.
"Students' understanding of the Dragon Boat Festival is only superficial book knowledge, but the profound significance of the Dragon Boat Festival is very vague. "Mr. Huang Mingchao, Dean of Huaxia Sinology Research Institute, said that from the more than 1000 questionnaires received, most children have a certain understanding of the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, but obviously they all come from textbooks, so it is difficult to feel the cultural connotation of this traditional festival in life.
Huang Mingchao said: "You can have a holiday on the Dragon Boat Festival and eat zongzi with your family and friends. This is the main reason why children like the Dragon Boat Festival, but it should never be just these contents. This traditional festival in China, which has been circulating for thousands of years, has richer cultural connotations. "
Adults also find festivals monotonous.
In fact, not only primary and secondary school students' feelings for the Dragon Boat Festival stay on zongzi, but also many adults.
"I got up early in the morning to surf the Internet and saw the news that Koreans were celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. I feel sour in my heart. " Mr. Huang, who lives in Lido 1-2 1-3 in Chang 'an, Jiangbei, said, "People celebrate traditional festivals with grand ceremonies and rich contents, but our festivals are hard to see even rowing dragon boats now. After the holiday, everyone went to the mall to buy some beautifully packaged dumplings. "
Wang Kailing, a 36-year-old native of Dazhou, Sichuan, recalled that when she was a child, the Dragon Boat Festival was spent like this: in the morning, her mother would tie a colorful thread on her hand, then hang a sachet, and then go up the mountain with her friends to pick henna and paint her fingers red. At that time, Chang Ai was hung in front of every household. In the afternoon, I went to the river to watch the dragon boat race. In the evening, my mother went home to boil wormwood water and give her a bath. "It's warm to think of it now, but in modern society, many things seem difficult to achieve."
Dragon Boat Festival applications will have results in the second half of the year.
This year's Dragon Boat Festival has a different meaning-with Qu Yuan's hometown of Hubei Province as the main body, China Dragon Boat Festival's application for world intangible cultural heritage has been launched in an all-round way, and the results will be achieved in the second half of this year. Voice of China News interviewed Qingjiang, director of Hubei Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center yesterday.
Qingjianghe said that the relevant application materials have been submitted to UNESCO, which will review and publish the results in the second half of this year. It is reported that the main contents of the Dragon Boat Festival Declaration include: the contents of holiday customs, such as hanging mugwort leaves and calamus on the Dragon Boat Festival; Sacrifice and other customs, as well as sports games and competitive activities.
The name of the heritage declared this time is "Chinese Dragon Boat Festival", and the contents are actually composed of the Dragon Boat Festival customs in three provinces and four places, namely, the Dragon Boat Festival customs in Qu Yuan's hometown in Zigui County, Hubei Province, the Shenzhou Club in Cisai City, the Dragon Boat Festival customs on Miluo River in Hunan Province and the Dragon Boat Festival customs in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. The application materials are jointly packaged by the three provinces. According to China Broadcasting Network.
