Study On The National Intangible Cultural Heritage Protective Functions Of The Local Governmen

Since 2001,Kunqu in China has ranked the top in the first batch of Mankind Oral and Intangible Cultural Heritage Masterpiece hold by UNESCO. The Chinese government have paid more attention to the protection on the intangible culture heritage. In 2005, the Chinese government have established four levels protection catalog, and the national Intangible Cultural Heritage have became a part of national fortune, the central people's government started to exercise macrocontrol. However the concrete management rights are still belong to the local governments, they undertake major responsibility for protection. On February 2011, The Chinese government revised the Law of the People's Republic of China on Intangible Cultural Heritage.In this thesis, we review the course of National Intangible Cultural Heritage protection and the functions of the local governments. Then we discuss National Intangible Cultural Heritage current protection status form three parts:protective policy, protective measures, protective modes. Finally we think the local government should have entrusted responsibility, as the supervisor of market and industry, and the coordinator and participants in community affairs. By introducing successful experience in these three functions of both China and overseas to prove them viability and efficiency. And carries on an empirical research on the Taoist Wushu in Wudang to take a deep analysis of these functions situation currently, problems and causes, and ended up with the strategies of promoting it. Concretely, this thesis developed over several parts as bellows:Chapterl, An introduction, we took the National Intangible Cultural Heritage protective functions of the local government as the object of study.Taking Taoist Wushu in Wudang as an example, find some problem on the protective functions of the local government, and propose resolutions.Chapter2, topic on its course, through the course of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage protective functions of the local government, introducing the relative policies and declaration system, form three modes:save-style protection mode, Industrial-type protection, heritage conservation and building protection areas mode to summary the local government three core functions:the local government should have entrusted responsibility, as the supervisor of market and industry, and the coordinator and participants in community affairs. Chapter3. topic on experice. introducing both China and oversea successful experice. Japan, for example, describes the organization of local government conservation agencies to build, emphasis on the Protection of Heritage and help people build up cultural awareness. And taking Zhejiang Province as an example, introducing its planning mechanism, survey work and establishing a special protective base. And make a further analyze of the local government functions of the intangible cultural heritage protection.Chapter4,topic on research, we carry on an empirical research on the Taoist Wushu in Wudang, to analyze the status of three functions. Making policy formulation, policy implementation and policy objectives as the three reference factors, assess local government performance on the protection of the Taoist Wushu in Wudang. We find there are three promble:focusing on declaration, neglecting the provtective job;excessive intervention;taking the intangible cultural heritage as economic resources, which are caused by the main declaration system is imperfect, the regulatory system is not perfect and the concept of development is not scientific.Chapter5, topic on development of the local government protection viability and efficiency. Mainly on the strategies to reporting system, the mechanisms of supervision and the mechanisms of performance evaluation. And from four parts:improving the laws and regulations; changing concepts; improving the organizational structure and playing the protective functions of the basic organizations, to make the measure into reality.Chapter6, topic on outlook. Because of the limitations of the real conditions and the view on this topic, which may cause no-depth analyze of the national intangible cultural heritage protective functions of the local government, and can not quantify the functions of the local government. However, I believe the theory on the National Intangible Cultural Heritage protective functions of the local government will be enriched gradually, and practice and research will be conducted to mature and last.
