How should we protect intangible cultural heritage?
First of all, from the government level, the "pursuit of political achievements" is promoted to a political appeal, and the protection of intangible heritage is viewed from the perspective of building a sustainable and harmonious society, and it is recognized that the protection of intangible heritage is closely related to China's national cultural security and national identity. Local governments at all levels should construct their own specific ideas for the protection of intangible cultural heritage within the basic framework of the United Nations Convention for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the State Council's Opinions on Strengthening the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage in China. Instead of considering the protection of intangible heritage from the short-term behavior and political achievements of regions, units and even individuals. Therefore, legislatures at all levels must strengthen and speed up the legislative work of intangible cultural heritage protection, clarify responsibilities and division of labor, determine specific protection systems and regulations, and incorporate intangible cultural heritage protection into performance appraisal.

More importantly, governments at all levels should recognize the particularity of cultural issues. At present, many provinces have put forward the slogan of building a "cultural province". The motive may be good, but the method is debatable. Because culture has never been created, but a living process of natural growth. Culture is a tree, not a machine. What is needed is careful and meticulous care. Intangible cultural heritage is a unique and non-renewable cultural resource. Once dead or lost, it can never be recovered or regenerated. It should be recognized that the intangible cultural heritage of the people is rich, but it is also very fragile. Under the impact of economic globalization, most of them are endangered. What the government should do now is to mobilize social forces to participate in the protection and restoration of intangible cultural heritage with the help of this application for intangible cultural heritage, carefully care for the intangible cultural heritage of the people, and protect and encourage the people to spontaneously cultivate and develop a multi-level and diversified cultural and ecological environment. For multiple applicants of the same intangible cultural heritage project, the government should patiently listen to expert argumentation, clarify the interests of different applicants, and coordinate their relations.

Secondly, from the scholar's point of view, the rational academic demands will be transformed into concrete perceptual investigation and research, and the general survey of folk intangible heritage protection projects will be done well. On the one hand, intangible heritage protection workers should abandon all academic preconceptions, put down their airs, go deep into the people, respect their customs and habits, and respect their initiative. They can't take the method of pulling out seedlings to encourage others or substituting flowers for trees, and use scientism and rationalism to forcibly bring folk concepts and practices into their academic framework. On the other hand, we should take advantage of the situation and gradually raise people's simple cultural demands to the level of cultural consciousness, so that people can fully realize the value and cultural significance of local folk wisdom and local knowledge in the era of globalization.

In short, both the government and academic circles should clearly realize that the real subject and owner of intangible heritage protection is the people, not the public, and both the government and scholars serve the public. What the government should and can do is to provide people with a relaxed environment and certain policy and financial support, instead of forcibly taking intangible cultural heritage as its own as part of the performance project based on whether it is profitable or not. What scholars should and can do is to go deep into the people and make an objective investigation, instead of using the prejudice or prejudice of scientism and rationalism to transform or even distort intangible cultural heritage for their own use. Fundamentally speaking, the goal of the government and scholars is the same, that is, starting from the overall situation of strengthening national cohesion and reconstructing national spirit, mobilizing the enthusiasm of the people to participate in cultural self-construction and self-repair, establishing a rich, diverse, harmonious and interactive cultural ecological environment, realizing the great cultural rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making due contributions to protecting the cultural diversity of all mankind.
