In the past year, in the field of economic production and consumption, domestic goods have become popular, national tides and national styles have risen, and a series of products with distinct Chinese cultural language, Chinese artistic characteristics and Chinese historical memory have been sold well. Among the many driving factors, the cultural aesthetics and consumption concepts of the younger generation on the mainland have played an important role. These young generations, who have grown up in the environment of material abundance, educational development and the popularization of Internet information technology, love national culture, disseminate national culture, constantly explore and set off fashion trends, and create one after another domestic products to lead the consumption hotspots. At the just-concluded Beijing Winter Olympics, the integration of digital technology and Chinese aesthetics in the opening and closing ceremonies brought shock, the participation of young people in the creative design team, and the forwarding of young netizens in the hot discussion of comments were all a kind of recognition and resonance. All this enlightens us that the inheritance, transmission, dissemination and development of local culture and national culture are potential, continuous, comprehensive and far-reaching, which not only involves our cultural and psychological identification and pursuit, but also takes the form of consumer demand, creative design, and the actual development of industrial economy.
Therefore, we suggest that we further do a good job in popularizing and disseminating outstanding folk literary and artistic works, and sow the seeds of our national folk culture in a spring wind and rain. The reason why it is necessary to promote it deliberately and scientifically and systematically is also that under the influence of modern media and the changing and developing production and lifestyle, traditional folk art is in a weak situation to varying degrees, and it is extremely necessary to popularize it systematically, scientifically planned, and targeted through teaching materials, teaching, experience and learning. Fundamentally speaking, excellent folk literature and art works often have distinctive "local knowledge", which is the treasure house of folk wisdom, which plays an important role in our continuing the historical context, enhancing cultural self-confidence, and inheriting the spirit of the Chinese nation.
Focus on strengthening the popularization of outstanding folk art works in primary and secondary schools, cultivating cultural feelings, cultivating aesthetic tastes, and consciously and confidently inheriting excellent traditional culture in the important stage of enlightenment and education in life. Our folk art works are colorful and vivid, a cultural and emotional bond, a memory bank, a cultural source, and its influence is comprehensive, in-depth and lasting. For example, to let children understand the twenty-four solar terms and colorful festivals and folklore of the year through songs, proverbs, legends, pictures, etc., is to understand the life traditions of their ancestors, the concept of nature and the national concept of time and life, to understand the ecological concept of respecting the heavens and the earth, the unity of nature and man, and the survival ideal of survival, pleasure and beauty. Let the children enjoy the village residential landscape of "building a house by the mountains and marrying the village by the water", enjoy the folk decorative images such as the phoenix spreading its wings and the bagua Chengxiang, and further understand the mood of life, the taste of the countryside, and the true feelings of the hometown. Such a tangible, aesthetic, cultural, and experiential education has an irreplaceable role.
Through the systematic compilation of teaching materials, the inclusion of excellent folk literature such as myths, stories and legends, folk arts and crafts such as traditional crafts and fine arts, and the experience of folk performing arts such as drama, music and folk songs through diversified teaching methods, and integration into the experience of folk performing arts such as drama, opera, and folk songs, etc., will further strengthen the life logic of the inheritance and dissemination of our nation's excellent traditional culture, and help the revitalization and development of social economy and culture with the education and transmission of culture.
