On February 22, in order to welcome the Lantern Festival, the "Zijin" high-speed railway of the Nanjing passenger section joined hands with Master He Shuangsheng, the inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of Qinhuai lanterns, to jointly launch a series of theme activities of "Intangible Cultural Heritage on the High-speed Rail - 'Zijin' to Help Inheritance", presenting a unique traditional cultural feast for the majority of passengers, which is also the first time to take the "Zijin" in the Yangtze River Delta before the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, and the "intangible cultural heritage train" has become a flowing landscape across the city.

Nanjing passenger depot as the window unit of the railway, has been committed to the integration of traditional culture and modern means of transportation, relying on the geographical advantages of Jiangsu as a culturally strong province, and actively explore the new model of "high-speed rail + intangible cultural heritage", from the Qinhuai lanterns on the high-speed rail to the calligrapher to send blessings into the carriage, and then to the high-speed rail "check-in" tide, the unit through the combination of intangible cultural heritage, so that the traditional culture in the new era blooms with new brilliance, the train is not simply a means of transportation to meet the needs of passengers. "Putting intangible cultural heritage on the train not only allows passengers to further understand the local history and tourism resources, but also allows everyone to get close to the intangible cultural heritage, so that the beauty of traditional culture can be shared, and the unique charm of railway travel can be truly felt."

History is the carrier of culture, and culture is the blood of history. Intangible cultural heritage is an important part of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, carrying the cultural genes of a nation and reflecting the spiritual characteristics of a nation. From "intangible cultural heritage fever" to "ancient poetry fever", "cultural museum fever" and "Hanfu fever", in recent years, the tide of traditional culture has been rising wave after wave. Protecting and inheriting intangible cultural heritage will help strengthen cultural identity and strengthen cultural self-confidence. However, there are many challenges in promoting the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture. Because of their detachment from modern life, lack of audiences, as well as talent gaps and lack of funds, many intangible cultural heritage items face the problem of no successor. But in recent years, the situation has changed dramatically. When the immersive production experience of intangible cultural heritage handicrafts enters the train carriage with the help of high-speed rail, when the intangible cultural heritage food production skills become a reference for young people through short **, and when intangible cultural heritage projects enter the college curriculum and are favored by students, more and more intangible cultural heritage "old trees sprout" and re-enter the public eye with a new attitude and new way, which also provides a broad fertile ground for better inheritance of intangible cultural heritage.
