China News Service, Beijing, October 7 (Reporter Ying Ni) During this National Day holiday, intangible cultural heritage is being transformed into a living cultural experience that can be participated in, felt, and taken away. Old memories and old folk customs hidden in the years have walked out of the exhibition hall, entered the public, and integrated into life.
The China Art Museum of Arts and Crafts (Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum) has launched four consecutive "Visible" National Day special performances. "Visible" takes the sequence of the four seasons as the creative context and sets up four chapters: "Spring Tea", "Summer Porcelain", "Autumn Dyeing" and "Winter Year". It cleverly connects more than 20 representative projects of intangible cultural heritage. Tea picking, porcelain making, and New Year's custom lighting art are performed one after another. Traditional skills are transformed into real scenes on the stage, vividly showing the vivid picture of intangible cultural heritage integrated into life in the four seasons. The participating team is composed of representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, high school students and young volunteers. It uses a dual-line narrative of "old craftsmen guarding their skills" and "young people passing on their skills" to deeply interpret the craftsman spirit, life aesthetics and feelings of family and country.
Pang Zeen, a 12-year-old primary school student in Beijing, was immediately attracted to Aydana, a Kazakh child playing the donbula, during the activity. The two became good friends and agreed to meet again at the activity in the future. The wonderful scene of waving fish lanterns left a deep impression on Aida. "Each nation has its own traditional intangible cultural heritage, and they are all beautiful. We must all work hard to learn and pass them on," the little girl said.
At the 10th Chinese Opera Culture Week at the Beijing Garden Expo, there were endless exciting performances such as garden live performances, opera carnivals, and opera city linkages. Different from "singing on stage" in the past, this year the emphasis is on returning to life. Various opera performances are embedded among the pavilions and waterside pavilions in the Garden Expo. Professional opera performances are deeply integrated with intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and entertainment and entertainment interactive experiences, creating an immersive experience in which "every step and every scene is part of the play, and every garden and scene is life".
At the opening ceremony of the Opera Culture Week, the "First Lesson of Chinese Opera" featured a man-machine learning session, demonstrating the innovative integration plan of "cutting-edge technology + opera education" live. Teachers from the National Academy of Chinese Opera wear motion capture equipment, turning hands lightly, stepping slowly in circles, and freeze-framed appearances, with a set of body movements flowing smoothly; the embodied intelligent robot is equipped with the GAE large and small brain control technology verified by the Zhongli magnetic field body GPT real-scene application pilot base. It follows the steps, stretches its arms, moves its center of gravity, and reproduces the details of the movements synchronously in milliseconds. The on-site "Xi Mai Lab" technology interactive experience space has become an active "breaking circle" between traditional intangible cultural heritage and digital technology, connecting watching theater, learning opera, practicing opera and asking about opera into a complete interactive route.
Scenic spots and ancient cities deeply integrate intangible cultural heritage and cultural tourism. At the Yellow River Ancient Ferry Scenic Area in Tongguan, Shaanxi, the national style parade focuses on displaying items such as the Yellow River’s old tunes, ancient warships, and backpacks. The sound of war drums, old tunes, and cheers interweave, and the ancient city is filled with a festive atmosphere; Guangxi Guangxi In Dazhai Village, Longji Town, Linlongsheng Nationalities Autonomous County, the intangible cultural heritage carnival was held in full swing. Activities such as Hongyao embroidery display, Dong pipa playing and singing, autumn sunbathing experience in ancient Zhuang Village, and intangible cultural heritage market attracted tourists.
Business districts and city landmarks give intangible cultural heritage a youthful expression. Shanghai held the Yangtze River Delta Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival, launching the National Intangible Cultural Heritage Show and the Dimensional Gravity Field; the stations along the 218-kilometer most beautiful tourist highway "Rim South Kunshan-Luofu Mountain" in Guangdong staged intangible cultural heritage pop-ups such as Li Jiaquan and Huidong Fishermen's Songs in turn; Chengdu also linked up with the whole region. The street tour of Wuhou Temple was interspersed with excerpts, and the Chengdu Puppet and Shadow Puppet Troupe performed in public spaces, bringing intangible cultural heritage and young people closer together.
This holiday season, various regions are digging deep into intangible cultural heritage resources and using intangible cultural heritage experiences to activate new drivers of holiday cultural tourism consumption. Experts in the industry said that this inheritance method of "seeing people, seeing things, and seeing life" is the best portrayal of traditional culture taking on new life in the contemporary era.
