Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has distinctive ethnic characteristics. What information is available in this regard?

Guangxi is the autonomous region with the largest ethnic minority population in my country, home to 12 ethnic groups including Zhuang, Han, Yao and Miao. The land of Bagui nurtures a long and splendid national culture. Our district has made remarkable achievements in discovering, protecting, developing and utilizing national culture, and has built a three-dimensional cultural brand with national characteristics.

Discover the value of national culture

Since the reform and opening up, the archaeological excavation of cultural relics in our district has achieved epoch-making achievements. Using internationally advanced archaeological excavation concepts, methods and technologies, the Paleolithic in Baise Basin The excavation results of the era ruins, the Neolithic Age ruins of Gantuoyan in Napo County, and the Han Dynasty Tombs in Luobowan, Guigang City have fully and accurately demonstrated the long history of the Baiyue civilization in Guangxi. In particular, the Dingxishan Neolithic site in Yongning County, one of the "Top Ten New Archaeological Discoveries in the Country" in 1997, is the largest, best-preserved, and richest cultural connotation in our region, and is also the most representative in the Pearl River Basin. The Neolithic Age ruins are of great significance to the study of the origin and development of the gantlet-style architecture of the southern ethnic groups. A series of major topics and academic research surrounding these archaeological works have had a great impact at home and abroad, and some academic leaders have emerged.

Research on drama, music, dance, folk art and other arts is becoming increasingly active, with gratifying results. The census and collection, accumulation and rescue, research and compilation of national literature and art materials, the publication of literature and art collections and chronicles, various special studies, the influence and authority of national culture and art periodicals continue to increase, and various domestic and foreign exchange visits are organized , inspections, academic seminars and exchange activities have enabled the ethnic culture of our region to be further excavated and sorted out.

A breakthrough in protecting excellent national culture

Launched in 2003, with the Guangxi Ethnology Museum as the leader, the Guangxi Ethnic Ecological Museum “1+10” construction project is a joint venture between the Party Committee of the Autonomous Region and The government takes strong measures to protect and inherit the excellent traditional national culture. In the past two years, our district has built the Nandanli Lake Baikuyao Ecological Museum, the Sanjiang Dong Ecological Museum, and the Jingxi Jiuzhou Zhuang Ecological Museum. The three pilot projects have approached it from different angles and made different explorations in the construction model, making the three pilot projects This project is both individual and revolutionary, which not only effectively protects the relatively complete cultural ecology of ethnic minority areas, but also promotes the development of the county economy. The three pilot projects also reflect the characteristics of the second generation model of China's ecomuseums, that is, experts and villagers are closely integrated to cultivate farmers' own experts and promote the ecomuseum to become more professional and museum-oriented. This "Guangxi model" will provide a good foundation for the future of Guangxi and promote the construction of national ecological museums, and explore more reference experiences.

For the ethnic minorities in our region who lacked writing in history, intangible cultural heritage is the basic identification mark of the ethnic group and an important part of the protection of ethnic folk culture. Considerable progress has been made in the protection of ethnic and folk culture in our region. The "Guangxi Hongshui River Basin Bronze Drum Art Protection" project was approved as one of the first 10 pilot projects of the "China Ethnic and Folk Culture Protection Project" in 2003, focusing on the protection of the Hongshui River. In the villages along the river basin, there is the art of singing and dancing with bronze drums, which is an intangible cultural heritage.

This year's application for national intangible cultural heritage projects has greatly promoted the protection of ethnic and folk culture in cities and counties in our region. Each city and county has carefully organized manpower, raised financial resources, and conducted surveys. According to the cultural department of the autonomous region, in future protection work, the construction of management teams, scientific research teams, and volunteer teams will be further strengthened, and publicity weeks and evening parties will be held to widely publicize to the society, in conjunction with the "Guangxi Ethnic and Folk Culture Protection Regulations" Through the promulgation of laws and regulations, government leadership, social participation, long-term planning, and step-by-step implementation, the protection work will be scientific, standardized, socialized, and legalized.

National cultural industries advance hand in hand

National cultural resources have been integrated and integrated with modern culture through the operation of increasingly mature cultural industries. Rong Xiaoning, Director of the Culture Department of the Autonomous Region, said that taking advantage of national cultural resources, integrating national cultural industry resources and cultivating national cultural industry brands are the basic ideas and positioning that our region has always adhered to in developing cultural industries. In the exploratory practice with no ready-made experience to follow, our district has organically linked the party's line, principles, and policies with local reality, and developed cultural industries with Guangxi characteristics, good market development prospects, and strong vitality. Explore and promote the "project-based" cultural industry development model, which can not only break down institutional barriers and industry barriers, but also actively expand and extend the industrial chain. For example, the familiar "Impression Liu Sanjie" has transformed the world-class Guilin landscape and the "Liu Sanjie" national cultural brand into a world-class national cultural and artistic masterpiece. Through market operation, it has driven tourism, performances, art education, services and other industries, and become a national cultural industry demonstration base.

In recent years, our district has focused on the word "special" in developing the cultural industry, deeply exploring the essence of national culture, highlighting national cultural characteristics, and making full use of Guangxi's colorful ethnic regions. Cultural advantages, combine cultural products with corresponding regional culture, and carefully create Guangxi's unique national cultural brands such as "folk songs", "landscapes", and "borderlands": not only the famous "Liu Sanmaggot" series of cultural brands, but also There are the famous "Nanning International Folk Song Art Festival" brand at home and abroad, as well as award-winning national drama, music, dance and acrobatics brands at home and abroad, as well as tourism cultural brands such as Guilin Landscape, Beihai Silver Beach, and Leye Tiankeng. , as well as Jingxi hydrangea, Yangshuo painted fans, Lingui bark paintings, Beihai shell carvings and other "one-place-product" folk art and craft brands, etc. These cultural brands with national characteristics have not only become the main projects in the development of Guangxi's national cultural industry, but also formed a dazzling highlight that leads the development of the national cultural industry in the region.

Through projects, brands are formed; through projects, industries are formed. Today, our district is dominated by state-run culture, with the participation of various ownership economies, diversified investment entities, socialized financing channels, diversified investment methods, and market-oriented project operations.
