The Research Of The Living Condition Of The Shandone Shadow Play Inheritor

The inheritor is the important carrier of developing and inheriting the intangible cultural heritage, the spreader of the fork art spirit and the symbol of Chinese culture. But for now, people tend to focus on the development of the intangible cultural heritage itself but they ignore its carrier and many inheritors are in an overlooked position. Similarly, the Shandong shadow play, as an intangible cultural heritage, though by the state and society concern and attention, the inheritor, as the carrier, is in a very awkward position and causes people’s concerns.The Shandong shadow play comes from Luanzhou, Hebei and has been all over the province in Qing Dynasty. However, most of them has been naturally died out and now the remaining performance groups and inheritors are only in Jinan, Tai’an, Zaozhuang and Heze among which only Jinan and Tai’an can achieve well development. To achieve the the benign development of Shandong shadow play, not only the outside support and help, but also the inheritor themselves are needed. Only the inheritors themselves with industrial awareness and development methods can Shandong shadow play gets developed. As a result, protecting inheritor is important and urgent. It not only promotes its development but also protects its commercial value.The thesis is based on the situation of non-material cultural heritage protection and starts from the perspective of living condition of the inheritor. Through the investigation and research of Jinan shadow play, Tai’an shadow play, Huangdun shadow play and Shanting shadow play, the living condition of the inheritor is studied. The method of field research is applied, combining folklore, sociology and other related disciplines as well as its history and characteristics in order to reveal the development of the Shandong shadow play. The inheritor is interviewed and researched in the form of surveys and questionnaires. The first-hand material is collected so that the living condition and situation is researched. Discuss the issue this heritage industry under the background and facing the outside to the inside of this system are analyzed and explained, dig their current predicament in which causes for concern. Finally, the solving methods and measures are proposed and protection methods and political methods are raised from aspects of how to protect, how to inherit and how to development the inheritor themselves so that theoretical support and references are provided.
