How to pass on the national intangible cultural heritage? I think that the intangible cultural heritage should be allowed to enter the classroom and involved in socialist concept of honor and disgrace, the trustworthiness education, thanksgiving education, and other ideological and moral buildings in minors, so as to enable students to learn and acquire intangible cultural heritage imperceptibly as well as know the charm of them.

For the inheritance and development of intangible cultural heritage, I think there are four aspects. First, both "inheritance" and "creation" are important. Creation is based on inheritance, and inheritance is in the process of creation. Second, we shall develop simultaneously the young and old successors. It is necessary to target primary and secondary students for exploiting, sorting, learning and passing on intangible cultural heritage as a link between the past and the future. Third, "popularization" and "education" shall be integrated. The integration of popularization and education of intangible cultural heritage not only improves the comprehensive capacity of young people, but also carries forward the traditional arts. Fourth, we shall lay equal stress on "learning" and "happiness". Students learn in happiness and get happiness from learning. The intangible cultural heritage can be passed down from generation to generation in this way.
