The national traditional arts are gradually extinct from modern society.Some people think that government should surpport them.i totally agree with it. Actually,Chinese government is doing this right now.They actively declear intangible cultural heritage for some precious,near extinction traditional atrs from UN.thus,gaining the attention of artist all over world and people who care about the traditional arts.More importantly,gaining the financial support from UN to help those traditional arts servive from the near extinction situations.
Take the Beijing Opera as an example,it's the quintessential art of Chinese culture.But,as traditional art,Beijing Opera also confront with the same awkward situation once.People love pop songs rather than Beijing Opera, young people seldom want to learn it ,while,old artist are too old to perform it on the stage. However,as an education reform,Beijing Opera became one of the interest class of primary school.Children in primary school now have the chance to learn it,enjoy it and maybe inherit it.
Government surpport not only reflect in subsidize,but also reflect in protactive policies and extensive publicity.China is an ancient country with 5000 years of uninterruptedly history,the traditional arts come from the long history gradually become the quintessence of Chinese culture,such as Chinese Painting,local operas,nation dances,folk skills and the like.Those almost fade in our daily life,but still have the potential to last forever and one day prosperous again.
Traditional art still have it's life for they are the foundation of modern art,the combination of old and new art element creat more excellent and acceptable art form. So government also should encourage this kind of art creation.
In a word,government surpport is necessary for saving those traditional arts,giving them motive powers to shine again.
