Thus the transmission of intangible cultural heritage as the spiritual source behind tangible heritage is important.

We can learn about the values, social consciousness and worldview that people held in the past through intangible cultural heritage. This then becomes a tool to understand the people of the present and predict the future based on the past. Thus, as the history of humanity progresses, the greater the need becomes to analyze the cultural elements accumulated in tradition. As people in modern society face the pressures of urbanization, industrialization and intense competition, intangible cultural heritage provides the spiritual comfort of a homecoming by reviving the nation’s cultural memory. | ||
