Since China joined the United Nations educational, scientific and cultural organization in 2004 convention on the protection of intangible cultural heritage, China’s intangible cultural heritage protection work has been underway for 12 years. In 2006, the ministry of culture announced the first batch of state- level non-material cultural heritage list. In 2007, the state approved held every two years in Chengdu international intangible culture heritage festival. In 2011, the 11th National People’s Congress passed the intangible cultural heritage of the People’s Republic of China law.No matter from the legislation, or from the aspects of international academic exchanges, China’s intangible cultural heritage protection work achievements are obvious to all. Ten years, the government unveiled four batch of state-level non-material cultural heritage list, and established the national, provincial, city and county level intangible cultural heritage list system, determine the 1986 state-level non-material cultural heritage inheritance, become the country with the most human intangible cultural heritage representative works, this is a great achievement.At all levels of government behind love declaration, also has a lot of problems. In level 4 list system, national project caused widespread concern, city and county level intangible cultural heritage projects s urvival situation is relatively serious, rapid urbanization makes more and more non- material cultural heritage from the soil to the survival of their own culture, many list are already exist in name only. Another problem, many local government reiterated, light protection, but now the list released just the first step in the non-material cultural heritage protection work, should be more clear understanding of each of the intangible cultural heritage projects whether live condition, risk rating for each project, for a more targeted risk management.Risk management of intangible cultural heritage is the intangible cultural heritage of foreseeable risks are controllable analysis, possible results still can not stop the demise of intangible cultural heritage, but it can try to avoid this kind of thing from happening.Management is one of system science, although it will give full consideration to the change of external environment to adapt to their own strategic adjustment, but more inclined to how to produce energy in the interior of the intangible cultural heritage, make live transmission, so will focus on risk management for 9 non-material cultural heritage of the whole work process. In article 2 of the convention on the protection of intangible cultural heritage wrote "protect" refers to take measures to ensure the vitality of intangible cultural heritage, including all aspects of the heritage recognition, LiDang, study, preserve, protect, propaganda, carrying forward and handing down (mainly through formal and informal education) and revitalize.The purpose of the intangible cultural heritage protection is to protect the diversity of culture, respect the minority culture, give them equal rights and privileges of cultural expressions, to enhance national cohesion and cultural identity has important significance, is also facing the problem of globalization. For now, most people enjoy better relative to protect non-material cultural heritage, a few people enjoy the non-material cultural heritage remains audience is less, the lack of attention.Since the concept of intangible cultural heritage in China, the academia has a very high enthusiasm, has the same papers published every year, but most of the research is limited to a certain region within a single intangible cultural heritage research of the project, or history, or cultural imagery, or development present situation, for the study of the theory of real little. More experts and scholars study is summarized in a work practice, the system works has yet to appear, only books.This article attempts from the origin of the concept of intangible cultural heritage to probe into the background, the analysis on the domestic development present situation, at the same time back in front of the produced by the concept of the international community’s efforts, as far as possible on the theoretical clarify non-material cultural heritage of the past and present. Research methods is given priority to with literature research.The first part of the article using the history study explain the production and the origin of the concept of intangible cultural heritage, and through the existing literature data analysis of the current domestic current situation of the development of intangible cultural heritage.The second part, it will contrast research cultural heritage and intangible cultural heritage, cultural heritage for reference of the risk management analysis, analyze the risk factors of non-material cultural heritage, and discusses how to build the risk dimensions.The third part, with the existing methods of non-material cultural heritage of the practice summary and theory combining with the specific example shows how to better risk management of intangible cultural heritage.The fourth part, clear the inheritance the core position in risk management.
