论非物质文化遗产的刑法保护

On the criminal law protection of non-material cultural legacy

非物质文化遗产是一个国家的民族特性和民族精神的重要载体,它可分为以大脑为载体和以物质为载体两大类;非物质文化遗产蕴含着丰富的权利价值和人文精神,体现了一个民族或国家独特的自然观、宇宙观和社会观,因而与一个民族或国家的历史和未来有着密不可分的关系。由于我国立法特别是刑事立法的缺失,破坏非物质文化遗产的现象十分严重。为了匡正严重破坏非物质文化遗产的行为,遏制破坏非物质文化遗产现象的蔓延,必须检讨我国有关刑事立法的疏漏,完善我国刑法抗制犯罪的机能。
