| Liaocheng area is the intersection of the Yellow River and the Grand Canal.In the long-term production practice,local people constantly understand and adjust the agricultural culture integrated into the cultural background of the Yellow River and the Canal.Influenced by the water transportation culture of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal,the farming civilization of the Yellow River and the immigrant culture,the New Year pictures in Liaocheng area not only embody the historical,cultural and artistic characteristics of the place,but also condense the farming wisdom of the local people.The academic research on New Year pictures in Liaocheng area mostly stays at a more general overview level.Based on the perspective of intangible cultural heritage protection theory,taking Liaocheng area in Liaocheng section of the Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal as the basic field point,taking the New Year pictures in Liaocheng area as the main research object,through in-depth field investigation,combined with the analysis methods of ecological context and artistic form,focuses on the cultural and ecological context Production,skills,consumption,artistic characteristics,inheritance status and contemporary inheritance practice,sort out the rise and fall of Liaocheng New Year pictures under the influence of multiple factors such as transportation,economy and politics,summarize the artistic characteristics of Liaocheng New Year pictures,explore the relationship between the rise and fall of Liaocheng New Year pictures and the rise and fall of Beijing Hangzhou Grand Canal,and focus on the present and future of Liaocheng New Year pictures,think about the current inheritance of New Year pictures in Liaocheng area.In the contemporary inheritance of New Year pictures in Liaocheng area,there are many situations,such as the successive death of old artists,the lack of successors of the new generation,the near loss of traditional engraving technology of New Year pictures,insufficient funds,few consumer audiences,marginalization of market position and so on.However,due to the development of intangible cultural heritage protection theory and practice,as well as the attention of the local government to protection and inheritance,Liaocheng area is now forming a multi-body protection practice mode with the participation of the government,inheritance artists,local scholars and other forces.At the same time,productive,living,ecological,holistic and other living protection methods are being actively explored.Therefore,the inheritance situation is not pessimistic.Due to the gradual weakening of the practical value of New Year pictures in the traditional period,paying attention to the original ecology of spiritual belief spirit and improving the aesthetic value of New Year pictures are the key to the transformation in the future.At the same time,the local government should start from the local situation and the level of people’s daily life,emphasize the Folk Festival ceremony,reshape the folk memory field,establish a cultural ecological environment suitable for the contemporary development of New Year painting art,meet the production motivation and social needs outside the government administration and market forces,and promote the local villagers’ conscious recognition and participation in folk art. |
