Friends, today I want to recommend a book to you, that is, "Ancient Villages, Ancient Customs".
This is not an ordinary book, but the brainchild of Mr. Feng Jicai, the 2018 "Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Person of the Year", for decades of folk cultural heritage protection. The book is divided into two parts: ancient villages and ancient customs, with a total of 36 articles, each of which is full of love and protection for traditional culture.
First, let's talk about the ancient village part.
Mr. Feng personally visited 16 ancient villages, and used his brushstrokes to record the historical changes and customs of these ancient villages. Do you know? Some of these ancient villages are hidden in the deep mountains and old forests, and some are located in remote villages, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they retain thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture.
However, with the acceleration of modernization, these ancient villages are in danger of disappearing. Mr. Feng used his words and ** to call on us to protect these ancient villages, because they are our cultural roots and the precious wealth of our country.
Let's talk about the ancient part.
These 20 articles are all Mr. Feng's in-depth research and vivid descriptions of folk customs. He took us into those little-known folk traditions and made us feel the charm of traditional culture.
But, you know what? These traditional customs are also gradually disappearing. With the changing times, many young people have little understanding of these traditional practices. Through these articles, Mr. Feng re-realized the importance of traditional customs, and he told us that only by protecting and passing on these customs can our culture be sustained.
This book is not only an in-depth analysis of China's folk cultural heritage, but also a guide to action. It teaches us that the preservation of cultural heritage is not an empty phrase, but requires each and every one of us to put it into action. Starting from small things, starting from me, let us work together to protect our cultural roots, strengthen cultural self-confidence, improve national literacy, and jointly help improve cultural soft power.
So, dear friends, if you are interested in traditional culture, if you want to contribute to the preservation of our cultural heritage, then hurry up and read this book! "Ancient Villages, Ancient Customs" will not only open your eyes, but also stimulate your enthusiasm for protecting cultural heritage. Remember, to protect our cultural heritage is to protect our spiritual home, so let's act together!
That's our roots, that's our soul.
