Sanxiang *** Quan** reporter Tian Tian correspondent Chen Lun.
I want everyone to think of Hunan every time, the first thing that comes to mind is not only the food, but also the profound intangible cultural heritage. In order to realize this dream, Zeng Zhuoqi, an intangible cultural heritage curator in Changsha, Hunan Province, has been on the road.
For more than a year, I went to many places in Hunan to visit and study, just to plan better intangible cultural heritage exhibitions and let more people understand Hunan's intangible cultural heritage.
On January 30, when the reporter met Zeng Zhuoqi in the studio, she was reviewing the New Year's Tuolong intangible cultural heritage activities held in Changsha three days ago.

Becoming acquainted with intangible cultural heritage, the post-"95" girl became an intangible cultural heritage curator
Moistening paper, brushing, replenishing, receiving ink, and bagging, under the guidance of Deng Shijing, the intangible inheritor of Changsha rubbing, a vivid golden dragon leaps on the paper. On January 27, a highly interactive intangible cultural heritage exhibition curated by Zeng Zhuoqi was held in Changsha. Through personal experience, the participants felt the charm of ancient rubbing.
Before becoming a curator of intangible cultural heritage, Zeng Zhuoqi, who was born in 1995, was the director and independent curator of Qianqian Art Museum in Tianxin District. In her work, she learned more and more about Hunan's intangible cultural heritage skills, and the profound and charming Hunan cultural heritage culture deeply attracted her, and she firmly chose the road of promoting Hunan's cultural heritage. In 2023, she set up her own studio to help inherit intangible cultural heritage.
My relationship with intangible cultural heritage starts in July 2022. At that time, I launched the architectural intangible cultural heritage rubbing activity of Taiping Old Street, and the news was posted on social **, which unexpectedly became popular and was favored by many young people. In the course of the event, Zeng Zhuoqi found that many young people are interested in intangible cultural heritage skills, but they lack a platform to understand. "Can I create such a platform, or hold an exhibition offline, so that everyone has the opportunity to participate in it? With an idea, Zeng Zhuoqi began to focus on researching the intangible cultural heritage market, and successively went to Longhui, Shaoyang, Yiyang, Xiangxi, Yueyang and other places to visit and learn intangible cultural heritage skills such as ancient papermaking, bamboo weaving and bamboo art, and Yuezhou paper-cutting.
Combined with contemporary art, let intangible cultural heritage into life
I have the impression that every time I talk about Hunan, I will always benchmark against food, but in fact, there are many excellent intangible cultural heritage cultures in Hunan that are worth excavating. I hope that through my own efforts, more young people can see the charm of intangible cultural heritage. Zeng Zhuoqi said.
It is not easy to do a good job in the exhibition of intangible cultural heritage. Zeng Zhuoqi said frankly that if she wants to run an intangible cultural heritage exhibition well, she must not only preserve tradition but also dare to innovate, and every curatorial exhibition is a test for her. Talking about the intangible cultural heritage exhibition he planned, Zeng Zhuoqi was deeply impressed by an exhibition of the Lantern Festival.
During the event, she not only invited intangible cultural heritage artists such as shadow puppetry, rubbing, movable type printing, Huangmei opera, and Changsha drums to the scene, but also invited Changsha swing dance performers and Hanfu lovers to interact on the stage together, integrating contemporary art and traditional culture.
Zeng Zhuoqi said that in the future, more different types of intangible cultural heritage activities will be opened, hoping to help more intangible cultural heritage projects get a new life, re-enter everyone's field of vision, and glow with new vitality through his own efforts.
