The 70-year-old man in Chongqing weaves all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish in brown. How should this intangible cultural heritage be passed down?

A video exposed online has attracted the attention of many netizens. The video content is a 70-year-old man in Chongqing who weaves flowers, birds, insects and fish in brown. While people admire the elderly, they are also thinking about whether intangible cultural heritage like this can be passed down by leaps and bounds. This is indeed a problem that has puzzled people for a long time. I am sure that this intangible cultural heritage will be difficult to inherit without corresponding protection and promotion measures. If we want to inherit it continuously, we should not only strengthen Chinese people's understanding of intangible cultural heritage, but also let these non-genetic inheritors innovate on the basis of historical inheritance, so as to meet the development of the times.

Undeniably, the protection of intangible cultural heritage has always been a difficult problem, because social changes and the development of the times have led to less and less people's cognition and demand for intangible cultural heritage, and the result of this trend is the gradual decline of intangible cultural heritage. Intangible cultural heritage, as an indispensable part of China's cultural field, must be protected and rewarded in order to be inherited stably. Counting the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage in recent years, most of them do not have enough to eat, which will inevitably lead to the decline of inheritance. If there is a certain reward mechanism, I believe more people will join the ranks of intangible cultural heritage inheritors.

In addition, it is necessary to improve the creative ability of the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. Nowadays, with the continuous development of society, people's demand level is also constantly improving. If the intangible cultural heritage stops, it will inevitably lead to the continuous decline of people's cognition and demand for intangible cultural heritage, thus indirectly affecting the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. As we all know, no matter which field needs to keep pace with the times, intangible cultural heritage is no exception. Most inheritors of intangible cultural heritage just keep what their ancestors left unchanged, ostensibly for protection and inheritance, but in fact they are getting farther and farther away from the pace of the times. If a certain degree of innovation can meet people's needs, intangible cultural heritage will be better developed and passed on.

To sum up, I think that intangible cultural heritage needs the protection and reward of relevant departments and the innovation of inheritors, and both are indispensable. Now the times are developing faster and faster. Once out of touch with the times, there will inevitably be many problems, and non-genetic inheritance is no exception. If we can innovate according to people's needs on the basis of inheritance, it will inevitably make the intangible heritage get better inheritance.
