Bulang&# 34; Cow Tripe Quilt&# 34; Intangible Cultural Heritage Woven By Textile Technology&# 34; New Economy&# 34;

In recent years, Shuangjiang County, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, has adhered to the leadership of party building, actively explored new ways to become rich in the intangible cultural heritage industry, promoted the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, vigorously cultivated and supported the production, inheritance and operation of the Bulang textile, let the Bulang textile technology weave a "new economy" of intangible cultural heritage, promote the development of cultural industry with the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage, and promote cultural revitalization to help rural revitalization.

The production process of "tripe quilt" is complex, time-consuming and laborious, and the price is high, which makes it difficult to compete with textile handicrafts in the market. In order to solve these problems, Shuangjiang County played the role of the grass-roots party organizations as a fighting fortress, adopted the production mode of "general party branch+cooperatives+bases+farmers", established farmers' professional cooperatives, and cooperative members used slack farming and rest time to make textiles in the textile base. At present, the number of cooperative farmers has increased from 5 to 30, with more than 30 employees.

Relying on the "tripe quilt" textile base, Shuangjiang County gives full play to the role of inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, strengthens skill training, improves textile skills, and expands the ranks of textile experts. Cultivate more textile novices to become master craftsmen, and make the textile skills of the Bulang nationality become the livelihood skills and income increasing skills of more women. At present, Shuangjiang County has 1 provincial-level inheritor of intangible cultural heritage of Bulang traditional textile skills, 2 municipal inheritors and 2 county-level inheritors.

Li Bo, a member of the cooperative, said, "At the beginning, the little girls in the village were not very familiar with the process of weaving cloth. After joining our cooperative, they learned from skilled teachers. Now they can independently weave exquisite 'oxbelly quilts' and bring them income."

In order to meet the diversified needs of people for textiles in their daily life, the cooperative actively innovated, originally only making "cow belly quilt" and cloth, but now it has expanded to minority costumes, bedding, sofa towel, car accessories, etc. Each year, it can produce more than 300 pieces of various textiles, such as "ox belly quilt", with an economic income of 180000 yuan. At the same time, we will continue to explore multi-channel sales, and continue to open up the "tripe quilt" sales channel through "online+offline" collaborative sales. (Li Longfeng)
