Carry forward traditional culture and eulogize the founding of the party for a hundred years. On the morning of August 3, 2021, Yongjia County’s non-legacy red tour activity and the launching ceremony of “non-legacy in the community” work were successfully held in Fenglin Cultural Auditorium of Millennium Ancient Town. At the launching ceremony, Chen Jianping, deputy director of the County Wenguang Tourism and Sports Bureau, awarded medals to five pilot units of “Non-legacy in the community”.
In October, 2020, Wenzhou was listed as one of the pilot cities of “Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Community” by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in order to promote the widespread inheritance and spread of intangible cultural heritage in urban communities and to unite new forces for the protection, inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritage. In recent years, Yongjia County has achieved fruitful results in the protection of intangible cultural heritage. The red tour of intangible cultural heritage and the launching ceremony of “Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Community” are aimed at celebrating the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), further promoting the spirit of patriotism and the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, speeding up the construction of “micro-ecology” of intangible cultural heritage in the community and at home, and striving to create a good atmosphere for social participation in intangible cultural heritage protection.
This activity was carried out on the premise of safety and epidemic prevention. The staff at the entrance conducted a joint check of health code and code, and distributed masks to the citizens who participated in the activity. Fenglin Cultural Auditorium brings together the traditional skills such as Yongjia wheat cake, rice sculpture, cotton playing skills, Yongjia paper-cutting, traditional opera mask and other traditional art projects for on-site display and experience. At the scene, there are also inheritors of municipal-level medical projects such as Su Tongdetang Chinese medicine culture and Xu’s Chinese medicine therapy who lead the team to conduct free clinics for the citizens and distribute Chinese medicine plasters, epidemic prevention manuals and health guidelines.
On the stage of the Cultural Auditorium, cast members from Yongjia Hongxiang Quyi Troupe, Yongjia Hongyuan Quyi Performance Co., Ltd. and Yongjia Fengfan Opera Training Co., Ltd. successively performed traditional dramas, Quyi and traditional sports such as Wenzhou Lotus, Yongjia Kunqu Opera, Yongjia Huagu, Wenzhou Guci, Yue Opera and Nanquan, which won applause from the audience.
The holding of intangible cultural heritage activities and the awarding of licenses by pilot units have officially sounded the clarion call for Yongjia County to change “intangible cultural heritage” into “intangible cultural heritage”, which will further promote the integration of intangible cultural heritage into life and return to the people, allow more non-genetic inheritors to take root in community cultural centers, accelerate the cultivation of soil for non-genetic heritage development, give full play to the important role of intangible cultural heritage in strengthening community governance and enhancing community cohesion, promote the formation of a strong atmosphere for the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, and maintain and create non-genetic heritage development.
