[Tao Lifan] Theory and Practice of Review of Intangible Cultural Heritage List

The protection of intangible cultural heritage in China has entered a new historical period since 2004.

Its outstanding feature is that this protection has finally changed from a call from the people and scholars to a government action, that is, it is led by the government.

A large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources have been invested to protect intangible cultural heritage, and large-scale intangible cultural heritage protection actions have been launched nationwide.

After two years of hard work, in 2006 and 2008, the State Council officially announced the first and second batches of national intangible cultural heritage lists, totaling 1028 items, plus the second batch of expanded lists of 147 items, totaling 1175 items.

The approval and publication of these 1175 heritage lists was selected from nearly 6000 provincial lists declared by various provinces, cities and autonomous regions.

The regions it covers include 33 regions (including Hong Kong and Macao) from the central to local governments except Taiwan Province.

There are ten categories of protection, including folk literature, folk music, folk dance, traditional drama, folk art, acrobatics and competition, folk art, traditional handicrafts, traditional medicine, and folk customs.
