SOME NEW THOUGHTS ON PRESERVING QUYI (FOLK SHOW) OF HENAN PROVINCE
Quyi (Folk Show) of central China’s Henan Province has a long and rich heritage, and occupies a pivotal role in the cultural history of China. It is an excellent intangible cultural heritage of the peoples living in the Central Plains of China. However, nowadays with rapid development of various forms of modern arts and the influx of Western popular culture, this once flourishing art suffered a steep decline and is now on the verge of extinction. Therefore preserving and safeguarding this precious art form is an urgent task. Facing difficulties of the scarcity of resources and the lack of practitioners and enthusiasts, new ideas and new strategies are needed.
