Tiexi District Gongbo Cultural Market held a theme event integrating industry and national unity

On September 25, in order to solidly promote the National Unity and Progress Publicity Week, Tiexi District relied on the old industrial base to solidify the awareness of the Chinese nation's community and innovate to create a new model of "industry + national unity". The District Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau teamed up with the China Industrial Museum to create a national unity themed event at the Industry Expo Cultural Market in the corridor of the museum. It empowered folk culture with industrial texture, gathered national unity with ingenious inheritance, and comprehensively demonstrated the unique style of Tiexi's industrial heritage and the blending and symbiosis of all ethnic groups.

This cultural market closely follows the two festivals, and carries out on-site publicity and study of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Promotion of National Unity and Progress", and deeply integrates the industrial cultural characteristics of the Tiexi Old Industrial Base and the excellent folk culture of various ethnic groups, breaking the traditional single model of national unity promotion and further enriching the connotation of regional national unity and progress creation work.

The market brings together many intangible cultural heritage projects such as paper-cutting, sugar painting, dough sculpture, embroidery, cloth art, straw weaving, etc., and many representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage are specially invited to perform and teach on site. Tourists and people of all ethnic groups can observe traditional intangible cultural heritage skills at close range and experience the joy of handicraft creation immersively. During the appreciation of skills, hands-on practice and interactive communication, they can feel the unique charm of the excellent traditional culture of all ethnic groups, and promote the mutual learning, intercommunication, blending and symbiosis of the cultures of all ethnic groups. The traditional folk craftsmanship and the century-old industrial heritage collide and perfectly integrate, making the hard-core industrial memory combined with the warmth of the nation, creating a cultural scene of double-festival national unity with Tiexi characteristics.

At the same time, the market focuses on displaying industrial-themed cultural creations, retro toys, handmade jewelry, Mid-Autumn Festival limited peripherals and other special products, organically combining industrial innovation and creativity with traditional national handicrafts, inheriting the industrial spirit and spreading national culture in a youthful and trendy way. The event attracted people of all ages and nationalities to actively participate. While visiting the market, appreciating intangible cultural heritage, and enjoying cultural creations, everyone talked about the beauty of reunion and national friendship, and effectively created a strong social atmosphere in which all ethnic groups celebrate the festival, unite and harmoniously, and help each other.

This Industry Expo cultural market event is a vivid practice for Tiexi District to promote integration through culture, gather strength through art, and deepen the creation of the characteristics of "industry + national unity". In the next step, we will continue to deeply explore the industrial cultural resources in the jurisdiction, regularly create characteristic brand activities that deeply integrate industry and national culture, continue to polish Tiexi’s unique business card of national unity and progress, continuously consolidate the social foundation for exchanges, exchanges and integration of various ethnic groups, and gather the majestic power of unity and progress for the high-quality development of the jurisdiction.
