Besides, the regular return visit system has been established with the related inheritors to guide the inheritance of the apprentice, the establishment of inheritance places and the regular teaching. Meanwhile, there are more than 6 thousand resource projects in Jining. According to the different degrees of danger, these projects are filed and different protection schemes are made. In 2017, “Going to Jinxiang to listen opera” was selected as one of the ten highlights of Shandong’s intangible cultural heritage protection. Today, the Xuanfu Lane, located on the ancient canal of Jining, has become a venue for intangible cultural heritage inheritors.
