Research On Collaborative Governance Of The Protection Of Intangible Cultural Heritage In Kunming

Intangible cultural heritage is the carrier of China’s excellent traditional culture,which manifests the wisdom of life,folk beliefs and collective memory of the Chinese nation.The protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage is related to the continuation of the cultural bloodline and the inheritance of the cultural spirit,which is conducive to enhancing the overall national cultural confidence and forging a common consciousness of the Chinese nation,and is of great significance to the construction of a strong socialist cultural state.As an important part of intangible cultural heritage,local opera is an important crystallization of China’s traditional art and culture.As a performing art grown up in a special region,its formation absorbs the local culture,customs and habits,and after developing and maturing in the local life practice,it in turn molds the local culture,profoundly reflecting the local regional characteristics,vernacular characteristics and folk characteristics.However,the dissemination and transmission of intangible cultural heritage such as local operas are greatly influenced by the development of urbanization and the rise of new entertainment culture.At the same time,although local operas have been identified as intangible cultural heritage projects,the subsequent protection measures have not kept pace with the project identification.Such a contradictory situation poses a challenge to the protection of local opera and intangible cultural heritage.Therefore,this paper takes the contemporary conservation of Yunnan Huadeng,a distinctive local opera in Kunming,as an example to sort out the current conservation situation and selects the theory of collaborative governance as the entry point of the study.Through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires,we understand the development history,performance characteristics,current conservation status,and problems in the conservation of Yunnan Huadeng.By setting four hypotheses:starting conditions,catalytic leadership,institutional design,and collaborative process,the feasibility of collaborative governance in Yunnan Huadeng conservation is verified;and effective participation,ideological consensus,and collaborative capacity are added as collaborative engines on the basis of the SFIC model to supplement the lack of source power in collaborative governance and provide a basis for Theoretical model for collaborative conservation and collaborative governance of intangible cultural heritage.In conclusion,the integrated model of collaborative governance shows that the collaborative governance of intangible cultural heritage protection represented by Yunnan Huadeng should achieve the following points.Firstly,it is necessary to promote the participation of multiple subjects to supplement the gaps in the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage,effectively reduce the government’s costs in the process of intangible cultural heritage governance,and promote the government’s governance level to be efficient and modernized.Secondly,in the process of collaborative governance,attention should be paid to building trust among the participating parties and promoting the sharing of resources among them.Moreover,the government should clarify its own position in the process of governance,and move away from the role of the "big boss" in the past to become a collaborator and leader in the protection of intangible cultural heritage.Again,the government should improve the transparency,clarity and perfection of the system,so that it can become the cornerstone of successful collaborative governance.Finally,collaborative governance should not only treat ICH as the protected waiting to be saved,but also play the role of public cultural services for ICH through governance,so as to promote better protection and transmission of ICH.
