Chapter 281 Innovation of Intangible Cultural Heritage
[Oh no, I'm old-fashioned]
[When the post-00s see Sichuan Opera face-changing, they see aliens with lasers shooting from their eyes, unbridled and arrogant panda heads, and black people grinning so hard that it makes people's eyes turn pale...]
[This, this, and this]
[Ancestor, come on, it’s been passed down after all]
[Sun Wukong transformed into a towering tree with one of his 72 transformations]
[Erlang Shen, who was chasing him, couldn't find him, so he got angry and turned into Bald Qiang to cut down trees]
[I thought it was Sun Wukong fighting Erlang Shen, but it turned out to be a shadow puppet version of Boonie Bears]
[Click on the author’s homepage to find out]
[Cat and mouse, Water Margin: Yunnan singing and dancing, Spiderman fighting Iron Man, Beautiful Sheep and Sheep pouring soul juice on brother, etc. are just routine operations]
[Focus on whichever one is interesting]
"I saw a shadow play before, where the Stone Man fought against Noxus"
"Sooner or later, the words 'what a disgrace' will come out of my mouth [laughing and crying]"
"At least it's been passed down, even though there are some minor issues, but it's better than disappearing [laughing and crying]"
"I don't think we need to care so much, as long as it's not immoral. Now everyone thinks this new idea is good, but in a dozen years, or even shorter, people will think this thing is nothing new, and the new generation who have never seen the old things may find the old version again. The important thing is inheritance."
"When the shadow puppet masters of the Ming Dynasty first added the story of Journey to the West, wasn't that an innovation?"
"I mean, isn't shadow puppetry just the ancient two-dimensional animation [eating melon]?"
"I think it's totally fine. The things our ancestors used for entertainment must keep pace with the times. We can't let dozens of generations chew on the same story for thousands of years, right?
The state banquet is delicious, but I also want to eat spicy noodles occasionally [脱单doge]"
"First, just tell me whether the culture has been passed down.
Second, you can tell me whether the audience likes it or not.
Third, you can tell me whether the popularity is high or not.
Fourth, just tell me whether innovation and keeping up with the times are good things.
Fifth, personality activation
“As long as the root is this root, it doesn’t matter whether it’s following the times or eating.
All the renovations are for the purpose of inheritance. As long as the root remains unchanged, all the changes will remain essentially the same.
The craftsmanship of our ancestors cannot be lost, and craftsmen also need to make a living. After making a living, they can research new works, and new works can attract new enthusiasts to continue to pass on the craft. [Call][Call][Call]”
Ancient people who had nothing to do liked to watch shadow puppet shows as a pastime: Isn’t watching this just for fun? What other meaning is there?
In my opinion, it is meaningful to pass down interesting and fun things. If we keep doing boring and high-brow things, I guess only the dignitaries will be able to appreciate them!
We don’t understand what inheritance is, and it has nothing to do with us.
Anyway, we ordinary people don’t really understand it, we just like the pure excitement and fun. [Long live the people of fun]
During the Qin and Han dynasties when shadow puppetry did not yet exist, merchants who made money from canopies wanted to research and develop new things as soon as they saw one.
This is something no one has ever seen before, and it was very popular in later dynasties, let alone here. It will be very popular as soon as it comes out!
Because no matter what, the nature of human beings is the same, and most of them like fun and new things!
Besides, the craftsmanship of this little gadget doesn’t seem difficult to make. Even if it’s not popular in the market, the loss won’t be much money. The remaining money can be taken back to entertain the children at home.
The amused children said: Thank you, Daddy, we are really a good match! [Holding his head]
Dad: Don’t hold your forehead. How can a child hold his forehead?
Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.
Confucius, who was traveling in Chu, stroked his long beard and said slowly: The meaning of inheritance lies in carrying forward the past, not in standing still.
If excellent culture is always shelved, it will never be widely passed on.
Only when people are exposed to it and become interested in it, will such culture not be lost in the long course of history.
For example, the same principle applies to reading and writing!
