Thousands of years

Song Yunzhan's excitement hadn't passed yet, and An Ji took advantage of his hot head to come up with a few satisfactory drafts overnight.

Outside the window was the dead of night, and inside the window was people sleeping under the lamp. An Ji, who was just sleepy at his desk, was startled by a voice call from WeChat on his mobile phone. He looked up at the time on his mobile phone, only to find that it was already one or two o'clock in the morning.

Sitting on the chair and stretching, he followed the trend with yawns.Du Anji, who had already scanned the caller's profile picture, answered the phone calmly: "What's the matter, are you still awake so late?"

Sheng Xia on the opposite side smiled slyly, and pierced An Ji mercilessly: "Aren't you asleep too?"

"Okay, let's talk about business with you." Sheng Xia on the other side of the phone suddenly became serious, and sighed like a bitter enemy, "I'm talking about the legislation and related support with my sister of the CPPCC right now. I just want to talk to you."

"Because I also know that you and your uncles and aunts have many difficulties and don't tell me, for fear that I will worry about you again."

Listening to her best friend's words, An Ji was silent for a while, and was about to speak when she continued on the phone: "So I think, when you are dealing with these matters, you must have created a lot of substantive needs. Tell me about it, what I think can be solved by relying on the power of society and the guidance of the government."

Xingyue was speechless in the early morning, the moment An Ji put down his paintbrush, endless drowsiness swept over him, but the anticipation of his best friend jumped into his ears directly from the phone, An Ji yawned again, and took a sip of the table The tea on the table was so cold that it soaked his teeth, which finally made An Ji sober up a lot.

No successor, this is still the primary problem facing Hang Luo.Even with An Ji, even with Aunt Zhang's children, three or five people obviously cannot support Hang Luo's future.

"Now, like filigree inlays and velvet flowers, we also know in the industry that they are doing some courses for the public. Things that can be easily learned and see a result can obviously be spread better."

Trade fairs in the industry, and various co-progress and cooperation platforms led by the government and the Ministry of Culture have allowed An Ji to communicate with other intangible cultural heritage inheritors and industry practitioners more than once, and he knows the difficulties and key points of different types of intangible cultural heritage inheritance.

"Well, there are better sales channels for these now." After all, Shengxia runs a Hanfu store, and knows that the sales of these accessories are increasing day by day. In fact, the market supply and demand are becoming saturated, and there is not much room for development.”

"So, I think this problem can only be analyzed in detail." Picking up a cup and using herbal tea to stimulate himself soberly, An Ji said again, "I think if you want to do it, you can just do it." It can start with districts and cities, and as for larger proposals, each locality can only be responsible for each locality, one project and one plan, and encourage intangible cultural heritage inheritors to directly participate in various ways.”

"I can only say that Hangluo is still in the stage of lack of publicity and understanding."

"But if you think about it carefully, when we were making the video, we faced all kinds of malicious speculations. We couldn't avoid these. We can only try to avoid such negative feedback from another angle."

After An Ji finished speaking, there was a long silence on the phone, and the sound of notes that had been accompanying the conversation disappeared.

"Well, I understand what you mean. Let's make an appointment in two days, and you and the CPPCC sister I know will have a face-to-face chat."

At three o'clock in the morning, there are only two windows on the upper and lower floors of the residents' buildings, and the light is still faintly visible. The cars that occasionally flash by on the street don't have any thoughts to pay attention to these two sleepless lights.

"Hey...these two!" He Yanqing had tried his best to lower his voice talking to himself, resisting the urge in his heart to take care of it, and went back to the room to pretend he didn't know anything.

Another light in the building was turned on, and there was another sleepless person. In the middle of the winter night in Hangzhou, the three members of An Ji's family were doing their own thing, and the lights were turned off one after another in just over a quarter.

The fragrance soaked from the tip of the nose to the skin makes people linger intoxicated, and the delicate pastries are placed on the gold-painted vermilion bodiless lacquerware fruit plate...

An Ji took two sharp breaths of refreshing incense, his mind was no longer so confused, and then he sincerely praised: Midsummer is really fast in doing things, and he was still on the phone with himself in the early morning, and made an appointment at ten o'clock.

"How about it? Recently, I have earned money, so I have to invite my sisters to a good place." Sensing the eyes from her best friend, Sheng Xia was very proud, "This is called 'Don't be rich, don't forget each other!'"

The elder sister of the Political Consultative Conference that Sheng Xia brought was obviously used to the former's temper, and coupled with the relationship of her parents' generation, she just smiled dotingly on the former as if asking for credit.

"My surname is Chen. Sheng Xia told me about you, and she also told you why I'm looking for you, right?" Sister Chen didn't have time to chat with her girlfriends, so she briefly introduced herself, and then went straight to the point, "You and her He told me about the situation mentioned this morning."

"I think, as a practitioner in this field, you are also the only inheritor I have contacted who is doing everything from production to publicity. Your opinion is very precious."

There are a lot of intangible cultural heritage in Hangzhou, but the scale of intangible cultural heritage inheritance units such as Wang Xingji Fan and Xiling Yinshe is much larger than that of Hangluo Factory, and there is no single person who has to take care of skill inheritance, innovative design, sales promotion, etc. The case of multiple jobs.

The orderliness in the protection unit is not good news for the investigators—every part is disconnected, and the investigators need to contact each other separately, summarize by themselves, and determine the connection. Obviously, it is more difficult to find the answer from one person.

What's more, today's intangible cultural heritage protection policy is still "rescue first". As a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference who can use his own research strength, participate in political discussions, and develop a certain well-being for the society, these special intangible cultural heritage items need to be protected and developed urgently. Obviously more important.

There are examples of gold and stone seal carving, and mutual assistance is easy to obtain; the fan-making process is large-scale and systematic. At the same time, because of its portability and fixed audience, it is not uncommon to see new generation successors of such projects.

However, intangible cultural heritage projects like Hangluo, with high consumption costs, narrow understanding and acceptance, and few successors, in Ms. Chen's view: it is a breakthrough for intangible cultural heritage projects facing the same type of development problems, and it is also an extremely good research example. good choice.

"You mentioned a specific problem and analyzed it in detail, and put in place different support plans for different intangible cultural heritage projects." While speaking, Sister Chen had already put the laptop from her schoolbag on the desktop, and opened the document that she had prepared a long time ago. .

"This is now taken into account in relevant national policies, but what do you think the support will be through? Funds, unified training, or...all of them?"

"This is the problem I want to express." In several interviews with reporters, even though Sister Chen in front of her was vigorous and resolute, and the questions she asked were a bit sharper than that of the reporter, An Ji now would not have half a point of stage fright, " Now whether it is funds or unified training, there is little targeted implementation.”

"It may be possible to put together several projects that are not conducive to publicity, and train inheritors to use online and offline means to promote."

"It may be that low-interest loans and reward funds have been sent to different inheritance units... But no matter whether it is the evaluation criteria or the form, it can only satisfy part of the project, and the result is that time, manpower, and material resources are spent, with little effect. "

"For example, what we may need are inheritors of textile technology, while some inheritors I am familiar with need someone who can design for them a design draft that is not only in line with modern aesthetics but also full of cultural elements."

"I also know what An An said!" While An Ji was drinking tea, Sheng Xia picked up the conversation, "At that time, An An and I went to other places to find fabrics, and we also saw some intangible cultural heritage. Their new generation inheritance There is no shortage of people, but the works of the new generation do not match the overall effect at all.”

The tea was imported, and it was ten minutes before noon. The shopkeeper put a few slices of dried ginger in the glass pot for refilling the tea. The slightly spicy taste stimulated the taste buds and warmed the stomach.

Sister Chen came here in a hurry today, there was some wind on the way, and now she sneezed with this ginger tea: "Well, why didn't you mention this to me?"

"I didn't think of this. I just remembered what An'an said about this."

"You, you yourself will suffer in this aspect in the future. Why don't you know how to be organized when you're such an adult?" Sighing softly, Sister Chen raised her hand to add water to Sheng Xia's teacup, "In the future, you still need to use Your ability to do things, but if there is a gap, it may get twice the result with half the effort."

Xu Shi learned a lot from Sister Chen, Sheng Xia didn't refute, but drank tea and pondered for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, let's continue."

From funding to innovation, from true and false in the industry to positive and negative comments in the society, An Ji gave sister Chen one by one examples.

"Well, I understand what you mean, but as you mentioned, it is basically state-owned enterprises that can implement fixed-point training. Of course, they can also sign contracts in advance, but after all, for some people, private companies, even if they sign Without a contract, there is no guarantee of career stability.”

Sister Chen raised her head from the computer screen and expressed her opinion straightforwardly: "Of course, you also mentioned that this is the government providing financial guarantee."

"Is this guarantee based on the average wage or the minimum wage? If it's the latter, do you think it will last for a few months, a few years, or a lifetime?"

All three of you here understand that 'lifetime' is impossible, and a few months is obviously too short.

Moreover, the investment of these funds is undoubtedly the financial expenditure of culture and education.The improvement in this area is destined to reduce the government's investment in other areas, and it will affect the whole body. It is absolutely impossible to be as simple as it seems on the surface.

"I think one is unemployment insurance, one is retirement salary, and the other is subsidies during school and internship." Before I finished eating on the table, I just took a sip of the same, and Sheng Xia flipped it on my phone again The menu, "Which one do you like, I'm ordering."

The girlfriends and sister Chen were all shaking their heads. Sheng Xia shrugged, feeling that eating alone was boring, but she still scanned the QR code on the table and added new dishes.

"You two keep talking, don't worry about me." My best friend and Sister Chen focused their eyes on her, and Sheng Xia began to feel embarrassed, but there was no way she could give in, "I came out to talk about business, miss me Go back and talk."

Seeing the serious faces of An Ji and Sister Chen finally laughing, Sheng Xia put the phone aside: "Actually, I also listen to unemployment insurance..."

Glancing at An Ji's expression, Sheng Xia passed his gaze to test the meaning of the former, and then continued: "I also heard An Ji tell me about her grandfather at that time, so, I think this unemployment insurance must be paid. Yes, if you come to learn this technology on a regular basis, you must ensure that you don’t starve to death.”

"After all, economic development and cultural development are complementary, but if people can't afford food and clothing, how can they have the energy to think about civilization and culture?"

"As for the guarantee during the schooling period, I think it can be regarded as an encouragement, encouraging students of technical secondary schools and junior colleges to choose these intangible cultural heritage items, and at the same time, cultural and ideological education must be strengthened."

Midsummer, who was full of food and drink, became more and more motivated, talking endlessly, An Ji and sister Chen could only be reduced to supporting roles.

"In fact, An'an told me what she meant before. I just concentrated on the strengths of all the families, so I was able to say so much."

"Actually, this is because our technology and military strength are now sufficient to protect the people on our land, and we have already lifted ourselves out of poverty. I dare to imagine that so much money is dedicated to the inheritance of various intangible cultural heritage projects."

Facing sister Chen, Sheng Xia was naturally modest and prudent, but none of these words were the latter's words for the scene, but the words from the heart.

From the nagging of uncles and aunts, both of An Ji's best friends know that without the support of the government over the years, no matter how much love there is, Hang Luo Factory would not be able to get to where it is now.

From the pen and ink of history and the world, the three present here, and even more people, understand a truth: Without a stable social environment and a life without food and clothing, where can we talk about love?Where can we talk about civilization and cultural development?
China can become an uninterrupted vein among the four ancient civilizations. If you study the origin, you can see that the prosperity of the economy leads to the prosperity of the culture, and the unity of the people leads to the prosperity of the country.

The three of them can sit here drinking tea and burning incense, looking forward to the snow and listening to the song, no matter what they can't do without today's prosperous China.

The same is true for the development of culture and the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. If the three of Shengxia realize it, and if thousands of practitioners realize it, they will naturally live up to this hard-won era.

"Okay, I've written it all down!" Sister Chen was obviously a little excited and impassioned.

When the three people in the room talked about the passionate place, their faces were flushed, and they were out of tune with the people around them who were chatting about business or gossiping...

However, the green tea was swaying, and the fragrance was disturbing, and a voice came from the seat, "Okay, then I will go to discuss cooperation with their fan factory in two days."

But it turned out that Yan echoed, going round and round, they were all people walking forward under this light, looking at the stars all the way.

Off topic:
This chapter basically expounds my personal thoughts on what kind of support the country can provide to the intangible cultural heritage industry, and also confirms a problem from the side - the protection of intangible cultural heritage is by no means accomplished overnight, nor is it a social hot spot. There is no need for the issue of successors.

There is a long way to go, and our generation seeks for it!
