intangible cultural heritage is a rich gift of history. as a special form of "living culture," the transmission of intangible cultural heritage relies on and affects people, making the training of inheritors paramount. however, it is concerning that inheritors of intangible cultural heritage are facing an aging dilemma. it has been reported that the average age of the fifth batch of national-level intangible cultural heritage inheritors is 63.29 years old, with only 0.64% being under 40 years old. therefore, attracting more young participants is urgently needed. pursuing fashion and novelty is a common attitude and lifestyle among the youth. with the rise of "china chic-guochao," young people in the new era are gradually showing a strong interest and sense of responsibility for the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage. we should further deepen the close integration of intangible cultural heritage with modern fashion concepts and aesthetic pursuits, injecting youthful energy into making intangible cultural heritage "trendy." more and more young people are becoming the main force in the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, infusing new vitality and hope into intangible cultural heritage. we should continue to stimulate the enthusiasm of young people for protecting intangible cultural heritage and cultivate more young inheritors of intangible cultural heritage. anqing has a profound cultural heritage and possesses a wealth of intangible cultural heritage, covering multiple fields and categories. we aim to launch an "intangible cultural heritage talent training program" to train and promote outstanding inheritors. for example, we encourage vocational colleges to offer majors and courses related to traditional crafts, cultivating professional technical talents with skills, design abilities, and theoretical knowledge. while providing policy support and archival protection, we should also offer more visible benefits and further introduce more incentive measures to engage more young people in experiencing, loving, and engaging in intangible cultural heritage. this approach will allow intangible cultural heritage, which has emerged from the depths of time, to exude a strong youthful vitality.
