中医药非遗五级分类法新探

Probe into the five-level classification of intangible heritage in traditional Chinese medicine

当前关于中医药非遗项目的分类存在标准不统一、逻辑不清的现象,给中医药非遗的认定与保护带来了较大影响。鉴于此,文章首先以2014年第四批、2021年第五批国家级中医药非遗项目的分类为例,剖析了当前中医药非遗分类中存在的问题;进而提出了“中医药非遗五级分类法”,进一步细化制成表格,并举例说明,以对今后重新规范中医药非遗的分类提供借鉴。

The current classification of intangible cultural heritage items in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is characterized by inconsistent standards and unclear logic. This prominent problem is greatly undermining the identification and protection of intangible cultural heritage in TCM. Bearing this in mind, the paper takes the classification of the fourth batch of national TCM intangible heritage items in 2014 and the fifth batch of 2021 as examples to analyze the existing problems in the current classification of TCM intangible heritage items. It further proposes a ‘five-level classification of intangible heritage in TCM’, which specifies the classification with a refined table and illustrated with cases, in order to provide a reference for restandardizing the classification of intangible cultural heritage in TCM.
