传统民间美术的时代转型——在杭州“中国艺人节”上的演讲

On the Traditional Folk Art in Transitional Era——A Speech at Hangzhou "China's Artist Festival"

传统民间美术正在遭遇着全球化和现代化空前强烈的冲击,一方面大批民间美术在不知不觉中迅速衰亡,另一方面大批民间美术为了生存拼命挤向现代市场却又找不到自己的位置。随着社会结构和人们的生活方式再到审美观念的改变,作为生活应用性的民间美术也在做全方位的转型。首先,传统民间美术要为整个民间文化的弘扬服务;其次,传统民间美术除了使用功能和审美功能,还应以一种历史遗产的形式保留下来;再次,要将传统民间美术与旅游文化很好地结合。

The traditional folk art is encountering a fierce impact from both the globalization and mode- rnization. On the one hand, a large quantity of folk art is swiftly decaying and perishing in an unconscious state; on the other hand, those quantities of art are trying to squeeze into the modernized market for the sake of existence but can not find a proper position. With the transformation of the social structure, people＇ s lifestyle and aesthetic notion, the practical folk art is also transforming in all trends. Firstly, the traditional fine art shall contribute for the improvement of the whole folk culture; secondly, the traditional fine art shall be remained as a historical legacy besides its practical function and its aesthetic function; finally, the popularization of the traditional fine art shall be linked together with the tourist culture.
