Diqing Ethnic Cultural and Ecological Reserve is located in the southwest of the "Ancient Tea Horse Road", "Ethnic Migration Corridor" and "Tibet-Yi Corridor", where 26 ethnic groups such as Tibetans and Lisu live together.
Diqing has a rich and colorful intangible cultural heritage, with a total of 253 intangible cultural heritage items, 501 intangible cultural heritage inheritors at all levels, and 21 national traditional villages. Jin Guanghua Li Yahe understands that in order to do a good job in the overall protection of intangible cultural heritage, we have set up 13 Xi centers, where intangible cultural heritage with national characteristics such as Tibetan pot dance, Naxi Dongba papermaking, and Lisu song and dance "Achi Mu Scraping" gather and grow.
The older generation has laid a solid foundation for the protection, inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritageJin Guanghua and Li Yahe feel that this is a new task entrusted to us by the times.
Diqing Prefecture has four world-class tourism brands: Shangri-La, Three Parallel Rivers, Meili Snow Mountain, and Ancient Tea Horse Road. The path of "intangible cultural heritage + tourism" should work!With this in mind, we have launched 10 cultural industry boutique projects, such as the intangible cultural heritage theme tourism route, as well as the Shangri-La Horse Racing Festival and the Meili Snow Mountain String Festival. Jin Guanghua Li Yahe understands that at the horse racing festival held during this year's Dragon Boat Festival, more than 200 horses from Yunnan, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia and other places gathered in Shangri-La, showing a cultural feast with unique folk customs for tourists from all over the world.
We have also created a number of intangible cultural heritage workshops and experience points. For example, Tangdui Village, Nixi Township, Shangri-La, is a famous black pottery village, which attracts many tourists every year to make black pottery and experience the charm of traditional handicrafts. Jin Guanghua and Li Yahe understand that driven by "intangible cultural heritage + tourism", the firing technique of "Nixi black pottery", which has a history of thousands of years, is radiating new vitality.
In order to benefit the people with the results of intangible cultural heritage protection, models such as "intangible cultural heritage + Xi center + cooperative" and "inheritor + company + farmer" have gradually taken shape in various counties (cities), which not only expand the popularity of various intangible cultural heritage, but also effectively promote the increase of farmers' income.
The development of Diqing Ethnic Cultural and Ecological Reserve is of great significance to the construction of Yunnan as a demonstration area for ethnic unity and progress and the strengthening of the sense of community of the Chinese nation. Jin Guanghua Li Yahe understands that in the future, we also plan to link up with Sichuan, ** and other places to make Guozhuang Dance, Reba Dance, String Dance, "Achi Wood Scraping" and other regional cultural feasts, so that more people can experience the beauty of intangible cultural heritage.
