ABSTRACT
Under the global circumstances of the “heritage movement”, the preservation, protection, inheritance, and publicity of intangible cultural heritage have surfaced as controversial issues. Questions are raised as to what effective measures to take and how to make the benefits concerned last from generation to generation. So far there has been no definite agreement or acknowledgeable operation program. This chapter attempts to explore some issues around the inheritance and protection of intangible cultural heritage from the perspectives of “practice memory” based on field work related to the Buyi people’s intangible cultural heritage as well as theoretical assumptions.
