Chen Zhiping, president of the Ming History Society of China, professor and dean of the Institute of Chinese Studies, Xiamen University, said, looking back on Liu Ji's life. Its qualities such as uprightness, loyalty to the law, and indifferent to fame and fortune are still worthy of admiration and remembered by future generations.

　　Culture is the root and soul of a city.

Wenzhou has a history of 5,000 years of civilization and a history of more than 2,200 years of city construction, which has nurtured a diverse, open and distinctive Ouyue culture and humanistic spirit.

The well-preserved national cultural relics protection unit Liu Ji Temple, the national intangible cultural heritage "Legend of Liu Bowen" and "Taigong Festival" and other folk cultures, "Bowen Family Banquet", "She Parents Table Banquet" and other special banquet culture, "Hundred Cultural and tourism fusion brands such as "County Thousand Bowls" and "Qiaojiale"... As the hometown of Liu Bowen, Wenzhou has a rich cultural heritage.

　　In June 2008, "Legend of Liu Bowen" was included in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

How to view the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage from Liu Bowen culture?

How to return the excellent traditional culture to the lives of the people?

　　According to Professor Xiao Fang, Director and Professor of the Department of Anthropology and Folklore at the Institute of Social Management of Beijing Normal University and the School of Sociology, “Intangible cultural heritage should be integrated into the whole process of education, starting with early childhood education, through folk stories, folk handicrafts, and folk dances. Educate and edify children in other forms."

　　Xiao Fang said that Wencheng's "Taigong Festival" ceremony, through costumes, ancient music, flags, solemn ritual procedures and sacrificial rituals, is a good temptation to integrate intangible cultural heritage into the public, which is conducive to constructing the public to a certain extent. The sense of belonging and identity to the culture promotes the self-consciousness of the people to protect and inherit intangible cultural heritage.

　　The essence of Chinese traditional culture has endured for a long time since ancient times and has strong vitality and influence.

Over the years, Liu Bowen's culture has been accumulating along with the changes of history, and is now full of new vitality.

　　In the Wenzhou Museum, there is a picture of "Giving Confucian Classics", which shows the scene of Liu Bowen teaching Confucian classics to his descendants after he returned to his hometown.

Zhu Yunhua, director of Wenzhou City Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism Bureau, took this as an example to reiterate the current vitality of traditional culture.

He said, “The core connotation of Berwen’s family tradition and family motto is'emphasizing literature and wisdom, advocating frugality and integrity’. In this era, it still needs to be continuously inherited and carried forward. We must deepen the education of family style and family education and make good use of Bowen. Various grassroots cultural positions such as the Family Tradition and Family Training Center guide people to self-discipline, respect morality, benevolence, and be courteous and tolerant."

　　Carrying out the "Legend of Liu Bowen into colleges and universities" series of activities, publishing local curriculum textbooks "Legend of Liu Bowen" and "Entering into Liu Bowen", etc., signed a letter of intent for cultural exchange and cooperation with the Chinese School of Turin, Italy, and gave free books about Liu Bowen to promote the legend of Liu Bowen overseas ... Wenzhou is constantly exploring new ways for Liu Bowen's culture.

　　Culture casts the soul and culture rejuvenates the city.

Through various forms of exploration, "Liu Bowen Culture" is becoming a unique IP, playing an active role in consolidating national spirit and promoting economic development.

At the same time, the successful creation of Liu Bowen's cultural IP also provides new ideas for the modern inheritance and development of China's excellent traditional culture.

　　Hu Jianjin, Member of the Standing Committee of the Wenzhou Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and Minister of the Propaganda Department, introduced that Wenzhou will continue to introduce the old and bring forth the new, do a good job in the construction of cultural IP, focus on the new needs of user experience, and build more "bridges" and "bridges" that deeply integrate culture and tourism through the Internet. "Ship", meticulously create an online celebrity check-in point that highlights local characteristics and meets the needs of the public, and uses culture to shape the city and the city to highlight the culture, allowing historical celebrities to go out of history and into the world.
