[Explanation] The teachers and students of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Translation and Communication Center of Shanghai International Studies University took advantage of their own "multilingual" and "inter-professional" advantages. Starting from the school, they traveled all over Shanghai. In less than half a year, they formed a long A research report of 150,000 words, interview drafts and oral history of more than 90,000 words, 2 multilingual intangible heritage documentaries, 5 intangible cultural and creative products, achieved 21 phased results in 8 categories, and speak well to the world Shanghai intangible heritage story.

　　Recently, the reporter learned during an interview at Shanghai International Studies University that Zhang Lijun, the head of the Intangible Heritage Translation and Communication Center, was a Spanish teacher at the school. During his study in Mexico, he was exposed to the local Mayan and Aztec culture. Even when someone was speaking an ancient language like Maya, they were moved by the vitality of ancient civilization.

After returning to China, he had the idea of ​​digging deeper into Chinese intangible cultural heritage and artistic works.

　　In other words, many people still speak the language of that ancient civilization, so foreigners see us in China too. They may think that something is ancient and has disappeared, but in fact it (intangible cultural heritage) lives in ours. folk.

　　[Explanation] During the summer vacation of 2020, after applying and screening, 8 students from the Department of Western Languages, School of International Finance and Trade, and School of Journalism and Communication of Shanghai International Studies University became members of the first phase of the project.

Zhang Lijun said that the multilingual and cross-professional advantages should be used as much as possible in the selection of team members.

　　Before I started the project of intangible cultural heritage, I still knew little about intangible cultural heritage.

As I don’t know much about it, I think our intangible cultural heritage really needs our modern means of communication, and it needs the help of young people to bring it to the eyes of young people to open its branches and leaves. I also hope to use some of my own majors, and then have academic advantages to help it spread.

　　[Explanation] In the first phase of the intangible cultural heritage project, the team selected five intangible cultural heritage items: Gu embroidery, Shanghai style paper-cutting, Mianren Zhao, Xuxing grass weaving, and Jiading bamboo carvings. There are 5 traditional crafts of plastic, weaving and carving.

When the team visited and investigated each project, every visit by a non-genetic inheritor made them very rewarding.

　　When I interviewed many inheritor teachers, I was really touched that they persisted in the intangible cultural heritage year after year and day after day. Even if only a small part of them are the group, they still love the industry very much. Job.

　　[Explanation] Zhang Lijun introduced that when he visited and researched the Yexie bamboo weaving in Songjiang, how to translate a knife in the hand of the inheritor made everyone difficult. For the name of the knife, the teacher and classmates visited the place three times. .

　　Called "gai knife" in the local dialect, I asked him which "gai" this "gai" is.

He himself said it was the "minus" of the addition and subtraction, and then a younger successor next to him said it was the modified "change". These two words are pronounced in Songjiang dialect, but they are also pronounced in Shanghai dialect. Then we went to check other documents. The book mentioned the "Jiandao", the "Jian" of the room, and the "Jiandao". In fact, this is very interesting. We have to verify its origin, although it is very small. One point, but we also have to be scientific.

　　[Commentary] Zhang Lijun expressed that he hopes that in the future, we can further expand the channels for dissemination of intangible cultural heritage so that the intangible cultural heritage can be further recognized by foreign friends.

At present, the team of the second phase project of the Intangible Heritage Translation and Communication Center of Shanghai International Studies University is getting larger and larger, and more and more team members are joining. In the future, they will not only help the spread of non-genetic habits, but also dedicated Yu tells the "new generation" of intangible heritage stories.
