Current situation of inheritance
Youyang Ancient Songs, carrying ancient myths, are the first-hand valuable materials for the study of the customs and customs of the Chinese nation and the development of literature and art. With the change of society and the innovation of popular ideas, the activities of folk rituals are gradually decreasing, and there are few Timas engaged in this profession. Youyang Ancient Songs are on the verge of extinction and need to be rescued and protected urgently.
The State Council has promulgated three national intangible cultural heritage protection catalogues, Youyang Hand-waving Dance, Youyang Folk Song and Youyang Ancient Song. All the pictures and videos are reported by the Cultural Museum to the county, city and State Council step by step to declare success, but the declared funds for each project are pitiful (20,000 yuan, making a standard). The filing videos are not enough. At present, we still owe 45,000 yuan for the filing materials of Youyang Ancient Songs, which needs to be solved by the county government. Chongqing has 39 national intangible cultural heritage protection lists, ranking second in 40 districts and counties.
Inheritance Significance
