Folk culture, also known as traditional culture, refers to folk customs and life culture. It also refers to the customs and habits created, enjoyed and passed down by people living together in a nation or region. It is a series of intangible things, folk customs and people's daily life formed by ordinary people (relative to officials) in the process of production and life.

Present situation of folk culture development

Although China has taken a series of measures to protect folk culture, it still focuses on the establishment of national intangible cultural protection system and field investigation initiated by academic circles, while the research on the industrialization development and transformation mechanism of folk culture in the overall cultural industry structure is obviously insufficient.

Old artists have withered, old workshops have been crushed, old crafts have been lost and adulterated, and even the surviving classic folk culture and art such as New Year pictures, shadow play and paper-cutting have been declining.

Most of the cultural industries developed in China are aimed at natural historical and cultural heritage, media culture and fashion culture, and the folk culture with local society as the main position has not attracted enough attention.

In sharp contrast, the folk culture industry has risen all over the country, which has already surpassed the traditional performance production and marketing model and the simple framework of "literature and art set the stage, economic and trade singing opera", initially showing a certain scale development and conscious pursuit.
