Among the rich intangible cultural heritage of our country, there is a traditional handicraft that is affectionately called "Jiangmi people" by the people, which is the noodle people. Noodle people, also known as "Jiangmi people", is a kind of folk handicraft with edible flour and glutinous rice flour as the main raw materials, which is spread all over the country and is deeply loved by the people. In 2008, the noodle making technique was included in the national intangible cultural heritage protection list and became a treasure of China's traditional culture.
The origins of noodle making can be traced back to ancient times, when people kneaded various forms of objects out of flour to express their yearning for a better life and respect for the gods in order to worship their ancestors and gods. After thousands of years of evolution, the production of noodles has gradually developed into a unique folk art, which has both practical value and ornamental value, reflecting the wisdom and charm of China's folk culture.
The noodle figures are made with exquisite skills and various forms. The raw materials for making noodles are mainly edible flour and glutinous rice flour, and after the links of dough, sobering, kneading, shaping, and carving, the images of the lifelike noodles are presented in front of you. The themes of the noodle people are rich and diverse, including myths and legends, historical figures, folk tales, animal zodiacs, etc., showing the breadth and profundity of China's traditional culture.
The production process of noodle people inherits the fine tradition of ancient folk art in China and has high artistic value. The process of making noodles is not only a kind of inheritance of skills, but also a kind of emotional transmission. Each noodle work is infused with the painstaking efforts and wisdom of the producer, and is full of strong folk customs. The inheritance and development of noodle people is not only the protection and inheritance of traditional culture, but also the exploration and attempt of folk art innovation.
As a kind of folk art, the inheritance and development of noodle making skills face many challenges. In modern society, with the acceleration of the pace of life, people's attention to traditional handicrafts has gradually decreased, and there are fewer and fewer inheritors of noodle making skills. In order to protect and inherit this precious intangible cultural heritage, China has taken a series of measures, such as carrying out training on noodle making skills, holding noodle exhibitions, supporting noodle production enterprises, etc., to encourage more people to participate in the inheritance and development of noodle making.
The inheritance and development of noodles is not only the protection and inheritance of traditional culture, but also the improvement of national self-confidence. In the context of globalization, the unique folk art of noodle people has become an important carrier to show the charm of China's traditional culture. Through the inheritance and development of noodle people, we can let more people understand and recognize the unique charm of China's traditional culture, enhance national cohesion, and enhance the soft power of national culture.
In short, as a kind of folk art and national intangible cultural heritage, noodle people are the treasures of China's traditional culture. We should cherish and inherit this excellent cultural heritage, so that the noodle making skills can radiate new vitality and vitality in the new era. At the same time, we should also strive to promote the innovation and development of noodle making skills, pass on this unique folk art, and let more people feel the charm of China's traditional culture.
