点击：The Intangible Heritage Lists栏目会弹出一个搜索系统，在这里可以看到全球几十个国家的世界级名录，比如在搜索框中选择 China（29） ,会弹出中国所有的世界级项目，而且有简单的英文介绍。



例如，我们点击花儿，hua'er(2008),就会出来由柯杨老师执笔的简单介绍：

Description Hua’er ©2008, by Ke YangIn Gansu and Qinghai Provinces and throughout north-central China, people of nine different ethnic groups share a music tradition known as Hua’er. The music is drawn from an extensive traditional repertoire named after ethnicities, towns or flowers (‘Tu People’s ling’, ‘White Peony ling’), and lyrics are improvised in keeping with certain rules – for example, verses have three, four, five or six lines, each made up of seven syllables. Songs may tell of young love, the hard work and weariness of the farming life, the foibles of men and women or the joy of singing. The songs are also a vivid oral record of recent social developments in China as singers comment on the changes they observe around them. Hua’er singers may have little schooling, but the most successful and widely respected singers today have become household names, performing widely and even creating their own institutes to pass on their art to apprentices. Whether it is being sung spontaneously by rural people working in the field or travelling or performed more formally at one of more than a hundred traditional Hua’er festivals held annually in these provinces, Hua’er is an important vehicle for expressing personal feelings in a social setting and cultural exchange across ethnicities, as well as a popular rural entertainment.

在轰轰烈烈的“具有中国特色的”文化遗产保护工程中，作为政府主导之外的旁观者或参与者，我们时常会有这样那样的困惑和反思，好像今天我们每个关注遗产保护的人都被困在一个牢笼里，无法挣脱某种束缚。民众、民族所共有的自然遗产，文化遗产在某种程度上已经成为“中国特色”政治、经济、文化建设中的一个重要符号，这是大势所趋。在这个过程中，我们如何更好的解决我们自己的困惑，如果提供更好的反思，如何促动我国文化遗产保护向着联合国关于保护全人类文化遗产的精神更好的发展，这是非遗研究（文化遗产研究）所必须解决的问题。国际化视野将是解决这一问题的不二选择.
