With the passage of time, the importance of traditional culture and festivals has gradually been recognized and valued. In this context, the old skills of intangible cultural heritage have also ushered in new vitality. These old skills, such as paper-cutting, clay sculpture, sugar painting, etc., used to be a part of people's lives, but now they have become an important carrier of cultural inheritance. During the festival, these old skills show a new landscape.
In traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and Dragon Boat Festival, people will see some old artists showing their unique skills in the streets and alleys. Although these skills are ancient, they resonate and are loved by people. The works of paper-cutting artists, whether they are traditional "Fu" characters or modern creative patterns, can attract people's attention. The same goes for clay sculptures and sugar paintings, whose works are vivid and breathtaking.
In addition to street performances, intangible cultural heritage skills have also entered museums, cultural centers and other places. Here, visitors can gain a deeper understanding of the historical origins and production process of these techniques. At the same time, these venues will also host interactive experiential activities for visitors to experience the charm of these skills firsthand. For example, visitors can try their hand at paper-cutting, clay sculpture handicrafts, or taste traditional sugar-painted food.
In addition to the value of cultural inheritance, intangible cultural heritage skills also have economic value. With the growing interest in traditional culture, these skills have become a popular product in the tourism and souvenir markets. Through inheritance and innovation, many craftsmen combine traditional skills with modern market demand to create many distinctive cultural products. Not only are these products collectible, but they also generate significant income for artisans.
The old intangible cultural heritage skills show a new scenery during the festival. They are not only important carriers of cultural inheritance, but also have economic value. In the future, we hope to see more intangible cultural heritage skills protected and carried forward, adding more color and connotation to our culture and life.
