2008-2021 13th Anniversary Festival
Yesterday (21 February) was the 23rd International Mother Tongue Day. International Mother Language Day is proclaimed by unesco's General Conference in November 1999: since 2000, International Mother Language Day has been observed on 21 February each year to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism. For Naxi culture, the Naxi language is an important part of it. In order to protect and inherit the mother tongue culture, a number of ethnic and folk cultural workers and writers and artists gathered together to discuss and exchange Naxi mother tongue culture.
Talk about the role and charm of your mother tongue
Participating in the symposium were artists of the older generation such as Hejihu, as well as young inheritors of ethnic and folk culture such as Herong and Longqiang. Everyone sat around the fire pit, sipping tea and speaking freely, reproducing the good atmosphere of "Naxi Talk Camp". (Naxi speaks Camp Chinese to the effect that Naxi people like to chat, are good at chatting, and chatting is as delicious as a delicious meal.)
Teacher Mu Cheng, an expert in ethnic culture and artist who organized the Naxi Mother Tongue Symposium, said: "The Naxi mother tongue has its own unique charm and has a variety of functions, and everyone takes the 23rd International Mother Tongue Day as an opportunity to sit together and exchange and discuss with each other, which has a positive significance for the inheritance of the national language. ”
The atmosphere of the symposium is warm and peaceful, everyone conveys their understanding of the Naxi mother tongue culture according to what they have seen, heard, felt and touched, and what is particularly interesting is that the symposium was communicated in Naxi throughout the whole process, which showed the charm of the mother tongue culture.
"Filial piety culture is an important part of Chinese culture, and there are many stories about filial piety in Naxi culture, and it feels very intimate to tell stories about filial piety culture in Naxi."
"I heard that during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the intelligence of the Chinese army was frequently deciphered by the Japanese army, so in some ethnic minority armies, intelligence was transmitted in the language and writing of ethnic minorities."
"In native songs, the charm of the lyrics accounts for a large proportion, so for singers who write songs in their own language, it is meaningful to have a deep understanding of the language and culture of their own nation."
……
After the discussion, everyone held hands and danced the traditional songs and dances of the Naxi ethnic group such as "Oh Mengda", "Remei Da" and "Ya Ha Li" to feel the charm of traditional culture together.
Mother tongue is the "root" that is difficult to replace by other languages
When attending a symposium on Nassi's mother tongue, he remembered a famous quote by Nelson Mandela: "If you communicate with a person in a language that a person understands, he will remember it in his mind; if you communicate with him in his own language, he will remember it in his heart." I believe that everyone can appreciate its meaning, Chinese civilization has been passed down for five thousand years, the mother tongue has always been the pride of the Chinese people, I remember when I was a child, the teacher taught a song "China Baby", which has a few lyrics that are still fresh in my memory: "The words I love to say are always Chinese / The words are round and round and the sound speaks the most countive words / The most loved words to write are the square characters taught by Mr. / Horizontal and vertical upright people are also like it...
There is also a story that a famous English translator, who understood the charm of ancient Chinese poetry, tried to translate the sentence "Want to go to the next level" into English. As a result, when the sentence he translated was translated into Chinese it became, "If you want to see a thousand miles, please go upstairs." The teacher said that Tang poetry, Song Dynasty, Yuanqu, etc., will always be the root of my Chinese culture, it is difficult to be accurately translated by other languages, even if it is barely translated out of the meaning, it will lose its charm, the vast majority of China's 56 ethnic groups, most of them have their own language and writing, have their own "roots", these many "roots" are an important part of Chinese culture.
Yang Fuquan, a famous scholar of the Naxi ethnic group, said: "The mother tongue is the root of culture, and without the bearer of the mother tongue, the culture will disappear." I wish that every ethnic group can inherit the mother tongue as the lifeblood of culture. ”
The ethnic cultural workers and ethnic folk artists who participated in the symposium expressed their feelings about this symposium, the mother tongue is the root of culture, the social function and cultural value of the Naxi mother tongue are obvious, and the Inclusion of Naxi nursery rhymes in the national intangible cultural heritage list is an example. Looking at the whole of Lijiang, since ancient times it is a multi-ethnic settlement, multi-ethnic culture is brilliant and dazzling, under the main theme of the era of "the Chinese nation is a family", inheriting the mother tongue, using the mother tongue and speaking the mother tongue well has a positive and far-reaching significance for the inheritance and promotion of national culture.
