Entrenched-the children\'s art and cultural heritage

In interests became Idol of era, foreign trend of pour, and diversity culture ecological regional of reduced and people on local culture of questioned, and forgotten, and national psychological of inferiority self-mutilation even national spirit of thoroughly lost, are in accelerated split China national culture of kernel, full personality of China culture is encounter material and spirit of double loss, I\'m afraid to has only left square text of last barrier Shi, we of culture was pulled up on not frightening words, what on advanced or not?

Both the Declaration and the protection of intangible cultural heritage, are also folk art rescue project, in the final analysis is our defence of life and death of the roots of Chinese culture. However, the most fundamental rescue is the blood of culture from generation to generation, inheritance problems shouldn\'t cry only a minority of the void and masses blind so, as one of the education cause of Chinese children\'s art can contribute to the cultural heritage of our? Children\'s art in shaping parts of childhood experience at the same time, culture can be engraved in my heart? On experimental exploration of this likely to be held by the contemporary Chinese culture and the education sector can make a larger contribution.


Our culture, our roots


First of all, the extinction of our nation is her cultural genocide. International competition in the new century so rose from economy to culture, is that winning culture brings national glory and be able to overcome all of the power. A people have lost their culture, loses its spirit and soul.


Cultural nationalism-the basic characteristics and identity of a nation, while in the achievement of human cultural diversity and differences, also convey our nation\'s unique cultural style and temperament, are the lifeline of the nation exists. As the cultural achievements of mankind in a true spirit of bearing capacity, nationality and modernity, international coexistence, but against assimilation.


Of national concern, is actually on the art of identity rather than a single depth of understanding.


\"Art from the original is part of our lives, all peoples, regardless of their place, there is an eternal search for meaning – bridging time and space is required, experience, and events, physical and spiritual, intellectual and emotional, people creating art linked them together, not express what the expression in addition. \"① basic unity of art cannot be confused with uniformity, art and most profoundly reflects the culture of national show\" exists between the different forces of tension and friction, confrontation and conflict. They tend to different directions, follow different principles. \"② this diversity and dissimilarity does not mean that is inconsistent or discord.


However, culture not through physical inertia in its existing State, \"it is often subjected to physical and spiritual change and decline, entity exists even if it continued, also in the constant threat of meaningful\" ③. In the background of globalization and national cultural strategy in the offensive in Western society, ecological dilemma and dispelling of the national crisis of Chinese culture, including art, have been exposed to in a variety of artistic expression. For example in the near-extinction of folk art.


Folk art is China maternal culture, and mass culture, has primary and generalized, as China culture national sexual most traditional and purely of carrier, it no longer is simple of art form, and became a meaningful of symbol--concentrated history of memory, and simple of national belief and the emotion, and China culture of blood grown from homologous, this symbol makes we on own of culture, and China mass of life and art has has depth of awareness. However, the lack of characteristics of cities and towns in rural China led to the development of folk arts the natural ecology and living space have been severely damaged, many folk art patterns with the end of the old life and death, which belong to the material expression of art still exists, but that section is missing the original ecology of the culture of taste and magic of inspiration and vitality of nature.


On the protection of cultural nationalism and physico-chemical results can of course through the Museum text records, the native form of folk art patterns saved a number of ways, but save on China\'s national culture, inheritance is the most fundamental way, or inheritance itself is saved. Heritage related to the survival of Chinese culture, also associated with the future of Chinese fine arts and its maker can also hold the national cultural individuality and influence on the formation of human cultural diversity essential, as the Chinese painting had reached the realm of.


On the cultural heritage of China our are we after the introspection of culture inevitable embodiment of initiative and autonomy, of art ontology and its culture which nourishes our nature of ecological concern, but also face enormous difficulties and challenges to the local culture\'s profound concern.


On traditional cultural inheritance is not a simple copy and copy of the training, but consistent with the nature of cultural innovation and constantly update and rebuild--through the new rational integrated and complex reconstruction activities while maintaining the long-term vitality of Chinese culture and art does not lose its momentum and promote it-also-inner spirit and temperament of the Chinese nation.


Children\'s art and cultural heritage


Cultural inheritance and how it relates to the nature of relations clearly tell us: is the core of cultural inheritance of the child.


From childhood onwards, cultural and human coexistence, deeply-rooted. As if the soil and climate for plants, all children live in environments, such as architecture, music, ritual, aesthetic orientation, lifestyle, and so on are as a cultural factor in time to affect them in and form values, attitudes and consciousness, into a part of life and become unforgettable childhood experience. Character and habit formation of ontology is the process of cultural and genetic stripping in the life.


If inheritance beginning in childhood, at the beginning of children\'s stage the future citizens of cognitive recognition of one\'s own mother culture, not only conform to the natural shape of the children\'s physical, psychological, with early advantages, more in line with the progress of social education concept: more developed society, the more stressed the maintaining of cultural nationalism. Japan and other countries in Western Europe attaches great importance to the culture and education of indigenous children and adolescents, to develop national sentiment and culture

Discriminating, through education, cultivate a culture of generation after generation.

Children\'s art is the childhood experience of free expression, inevitable product of the interaction between nature and culture environment of the child, entirely rooted in specific cultural environment. This important characteristic for children\'s art, freedom of education may have great and inject them into the important elements of national culture in China, such as painting and folk art, children art in shaping the minds of children, while culture inscribed on the personality.


However, cultural variation in soil of the chronic shortage of national culture and arts in education, has led to Chinese culture connotation in the younger generation of cognitive life quietly in evaporation and desalination, in childhood as a succession of people about native culture and national art form that is a serious practice and diaphragm, instead of being Westernized children aesthetic tastes and even food tastes. To a certain extent, they only have a race of physiological characteristics, habitual, and do not have deep feelings of the Chinese nation and cultural gene of temperament, coupled with the current value orientation of adult utilitarianism in negative impact on children\'s education, of succession caused very serious practical difficulties.


However, pioneer exploration of road to inheritance have not stopped, but quickened, especially outstanding art educators of the child. To respect the laws of physical and mental development of children and child art simple Frank premised on natural state, from the point of art and education of the child to work on experimental exploration of culture and national heritage of likely to be held by the common inheritance of Chinese culture and the education sector and made sustainable development one of the major contributions.


Best practice


In June 2002, Ms He Yunlan initiative, jointly by the Ministry of education Arts Education Committee and my hiep Arts Council planned to host, Shenzhen Nanshan education participate in the \"achievement--the future children\'s extracurricular arts education project\" starts, in the opening of the Shantou China ink painting Invitational Exhibition, as a \"project\" Prologue. So far passed throughout the tour for this exhibition, relying on various areas of cultural autonomy, as a movement of cultural life in China, more than two years across the more than 10 provinces until the grass-roots level, has been widely welcomed.


Face China developed city of children including part education who zainei of blind worship psychological and on China culture knew nothing of status, author--children art theorists Hu 暁 珮 Lady planning and presided over has \"China children\'s art international tour cum art education investigation\" activities, and Yu January 2003 in Germany for has first attempts to, activities in annual of winter held, to international between children art works of senior academic exchange for fundamental points, to precious of Humanities history and city style runs through which, let children, and parents and education who intuitive feel European art of essence, and comparison we this national of culture, profound experience China art of charm and traditional of vitality, from children, and family and art education for up, makes China valuable of culture to fresh of reproduction and real of bearing pass. In early November 2003 at the China Millennium Monument \"children a childhood of Frank\" large-scale exhibition as part of the international exhibition of the project was a lively results, Journal of children\'s paintings received wide attention.


Activities in exhibition of original works of children while using Chinese ink painting material as a tool for Exchange of Chinese and foreign teachers and students to paint, many children in the communication have become the teacher of foreign teachers and students, teaching them how to use Chinese ink on the paper here, ink, ink-how to play, create. When infiltrating a spirit of national spirit of ink penetration to all involved children and adult hearts is also closed their eyes and the soul of Chinese culture, this form of inheritance of the natural real concentration of penetrating and inks with water. Dang China teachers and students see Germany education who and children on ink of warm praise and sincere admire with surprise Shi, that makes they was pride of national pride and on China culture of confidence became has life cannot forget of memory, and produced again cognitive own culture of strongly wishes, these comments is from participate in activities of child, \"I only know Picasso, no thought Germany friends so like ink, I is does not know China ink of master is who, answer does not out they of problem, I to learn\". \"Germany very old House, savings are beautiful, each House has its own picture, I went back to mother hanging their art, ink painting. ”。 \"I can say Aegean legends, but the teacher asked me \' shanhaijing, \' I don\'t know, the other kids do not know. I went back to tell MOM to buy me a book, which is a Chinese legend, the teacher said is very beautiful, but I\'m also not say sth in China \". \"My family lives is a European-style villas, now I know the style of European-style building is very old in Europe, is the ancient art of them, we copied them, no, I want to take lots of photos, telling mom and Dad what was good, light marble, not beautiful.\" Us amazing child\'s feelings, but also amazing art and education of children in the special forces in the China cultural inheritance.


Xie Lifang, Liu yuxin teacher initiative, July 2003 called \"Dandelion action\" to promote the inheritance of folk art in fine arts education in primary schools and special projects for the development in Hunan province started xiangxitujiazumiaozuzizhizhou, child issues extend to Tibet, in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, Shaanxi Ankang, Wuxi, Zhejiang and other places.


Agricultural in xiangxi minority regions and integration of national cultural background is ideal for local children\'s natural state of the art, folk art unique to a large extent also cultivate children\'s art\'s simple and Frank. Chaotic thought patterns, architecture world time and space in folk art and ancient symbol of the gods, unadorned and childish expression of identity of object and self, the original ecology of symbolic diagrams, and children\'s art in architecture, metaphors and spatial and temporal expression there are many similar, especially similar gaming instinct of cultural expression in the folk art and the art of childhood life individuals there is a natural affinity. At the same time, continuation of the folk custom and appear frequently in life also subconsciously affect children\'s cognitive and Western thought, virtually as they built this nation was not disturbed original mentality and childhood experience, for the region

Local inheritance of folk art starting from childhood to form a relatively stable environment.

\"Dandelion\" most excellent folk art is the beauty of the inheritance and creation of rich life combines art and education of children, explored in a fine arts education in primary schools in minority areas of viable, sustainable promotion of folk art education and inheritance mode.

\"Dandelion\" preliminary experimental results with folk art as a carrier in early November 2003 at the China Millennium Monument \"children a childhood of Frank\" in a large comprehensive exhibition on display, experimental school children participate in art creation, to locate the material of the nationality and civil sexual attention.


Closing remarks


Can the Chinese folk art to larger scale into the primary and middle school art class, into the art and education of our children, through children\'s existing experience with a proactive and positive way to gain access to new understanding of the arts and on national culture of China\'s basic beliefs? Or go further, through the impact on children to convey to the family and society, on the heritage of Chinese culture into great hope and power, or even save the fate of gene threatened with the loss of national culture.


Above of practice for we provides of not only is a regional range within on children and China culture inheritance of effective mode and evaluation way, or rich has to China geographical culture for characteristics of children art and the education form, most fundamental of is, experimental by exploration validation of is we cannot ignored of: children art and education and China culture inheritance indivisible of relationship, and it in protection China culture national sexual in the of forces and keep human culture diversity by may made of contribution.


In the context of globalization and diversification, maintaining Chinese culture depends on the richness and diversity of ecological culture of owner and passing it from generation to generation capacity. We should also fully respect the cultural diversity, intellectual performance in children in different circumstances the differences between the individual experience, in a relaxed, fair, pluralistic cultural environment to get most of the children has the performance and development of the Chinese national culture of artistic identity intelligence. Is a children\'s art and education in human blood injected in the deep at the beginning of the national spirit, so valuable traditional ontology has been my life internal continuation of pedicled with deep to solid.
