BEIJING, July 15 (Xinhua) — A ceremony to establish a multimodal digital laboratory for the inheritance of the Manas epic culture was held recently in Atushi, Kyzylsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the prefectural administration said.

The lab was jointly established by the prefectural people's government and Xinjiang Normal University as part of the Manas-themed International Cultural and Tourism Festival held in the prefecture from July 13 to 20.

The new laboratory will facilitate the digital preservation of materials and resources related to the epic, as well as its active dissemination through digital technologies, in order to give new impetus to this masterpiece of art, the press service said in a statement.

Vice-president of Xinjiang Normal University Liu Chenjiang noted that Manas currently faces problems such as aging heirs and limited distribution. Digital technology not only helps preserve valuable performance videos over long periods, but also allows the younger generation to immerse themselves in the charm of the epic through interactive exhibitions, VR performances and other forms.

The heroic epic “Manas” is a cycle of tales related to the life and exploits of the main character – the legendary hero Manas, the unifier of the Kyrgyz tribes. It occupies an important place in the oral folklore of the Kyrgyz. This epic poem is known as one of the three heroic epics of the national minorities of China, along with the heroic epics “King Gesar” of the Tibetan ethnic group and “Dzhangar” of the Mongolian ethnic group.

Manas was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009. As far as historians know, it was passed down orally by folk artists who performed it with a unique chant rhythm before attempts were made to record it in written form.

In addition to the establishment of this laboratory and the holding of a thematic cultural festival, the XUAR authorities have taken various measures to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of the Manas epic, including organizing courses and competitions for storytellers and the entry into force of a legislative act on the preservation of the Manas epic in May of this year. -0-
