20多年前,著名作家、画家冯骥才,用文笔和画笔记录着天津最原汁原味、最活灵活现的市井民俗、生活百态。而近些年来,冯骥才正为构成中华文化半壁江山的民间文化,不但未能得到系统的整理和保护,反而在现代化进程中面临着消亡的危险而奔走呼号。作为非物质文化遗产国家名录专家委员会主任,冯骥才忧心忡忡,他说:“现在的抢救速度远远赶不上消失的速度。如果文化消失了,民族也就没了。”于是,他不遗余力地投入到保护文化遗产与抢救民间艺术的事业之中。 More than 20 years ago, the famous writer and painter Feng Jicai used the writing brush and brush to record the most authentic and vivid marketplace folklore in Tianjin. In recent years, however, Feng Jicai is now forming the folk culture of half of Chinese culture, which not only failed to get systematically sorted out and protected, but was facing the danger of demise in the process of modernization. Feng Ji, director of the National Committee of Inventory of Intangible Cultural Heritage, is worried: “The speed of rescue is far behind the speed of disappearance and the nation is gone if culture disappears.” So he spared no effort in preserving culture Heritage and rescue folk art among the cause.
