Abstract:
Since 2018, the Ministry of Education has repeatedly issued documents promoting the introduction of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) into schools, aiming to comprehensively strengthen the protection and inheritance of ICH and provide solid legal support for the vigorous development of cultural undertakings. A survey conducted on the current status of traditional culture in 25 schools in Beijing revealed that primary school ICH education faces three major constraints: curriculum homogenization, structural contradictions in teacher resources, and the survival dilemma of inheritance subjects. Therefore, incorporating traditional culture education into primary school education majors, relying on regional characteristics, and creating the inheritance of ICH on campus can not only promote the cultivation of ICH teachers and enhance students' cultural confidence, but also leverage local school resources and skillfully combine "subjects + ICH" to achieve the educational goal of passing down the cultural heritage of ICH from generation to generation.
