Investigation and analysis:The intangible cultural heritage value of Xilankapu
In 2006,Xilankapu was included in the First National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China.Its intangible cultural heritage value plays a significant role in promoting the development of the brocade weaving industry.However,the creative transformation and innovative development of Xilankapu still lag behind.This article combs through national and provincial brocade techniques from a policy perspective,discussing the protection measures of Xilankapu.Through documentary research and on-site investigations,the article analyzes the impact of Tujia beliefs,folklore,and artistic heritage on the expression of Xilankapu patterns in a visual and textual form,and reflects on the unique intangible cultural heritage value of Xilankapu.The study suggests that the protection and inheritance of Xilankapu should not simply involve retrogression but should delve deeper into the cultural genes of the Tujia people to extract the essence.This will allow it to align with contemporary culture and harmonize with modern society,so as to promote it in a way that is enjoyable and engaging for people,and transcend time and national boundaries with enduring charm.
