Give Full Play to Advantages of Colleges and Universities and Cultivate Flower Talents-Take the School of Music and Dance, Ningxia Teachers University for example

"Support institutions of higher learning and scientific research institutions in participating in rescuing endangered cultures, promoting the construction of relevant disciplines and cultivating descendants of endangered cultures" are explicitly pointed out in Article 21 of Some Advice of the State Council on Further Prospering and Developing the Culture Cause of Ethnic Minorities (No. 29 [2009] of the State Council). Ningxia Teachers University, located in Guyuan City, Ningxia known as "the hometown of flower", has been actively engaged in the inheritance and development of endangered intangible cultural heritage "flower" in the world and borne the heavy responsibility of flower talents cultivation and national cultural transmission with its own advantages of talents, disciplines and scientific research. This is the responsibility of higher education as well as a historical mission endowed by the development and prosperity of social culture. Establishing a scientific and reasonable program of flower talents cultivation is the key of cultivating qualified flower talents. The School of Music and Dance, Ningxia Teachers University has established a program of flower talents cultivation with distinct characteristics according to relevant national policies in combination with the physical truth of the school, which is a bold attempt for colleges and universities to cultivate music-type "intangible cultural heritage" talents.
