KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 -- The 1st Nanshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival in 2021 is one of the intangible cultural heritage-oriented activities that celebrates the Cultural and Natural Heritage Day held by Hainan Free Trade Port, the only free trade port in China.
Centering around the theme, ‘intangible cultural heritage of people and for people’, the Hainan Bureau of Tourism and Culture carried out nearly 100 activities in the province, mainly in exhibition sites at Haikou city, Sanya city, Wuzhishan city, Ding'an county, and Baoting county.
The rich variety of cultural events has enabled residents, tourists and the entire society to benefit from the preservation of intangible cultural heritage and achievement of related R&D, according to a statement.
Apart from the Nanshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival in Sanya, Hainan Intangible Cultural Heritage Shopping Festival was held in the Haikou exhibition site on the same day, with the ‘live broadcast promotion + offline fair’ having attracted nearly 800,000 participants.
Meanwhile, the exhibition site in Wuzhishan focused on the demonstration of techniques of intangible cultural heritage, with nearly 100 inheritor representatives of intangible cultural heritage showcasing their talents.
The exhibition site in Ding'an invited famous local performing artistes to present the audience with Hainan opera, puppet shows, Danzhou folk music, and other traditional music and operas included in the list of intangible cultural heritage in need of protection.
Residents and tourists that follow the progress of Hainan's intangible cultural heritage inheritance R&D will find that Hainan has taken comprehensive measures to make intangible cultural heritage closer to people's daily lives and introduce young people to their rich cultural heritage.
Many intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and creative cultural products such as vases, tea sets, and tableware not only explicitly embody the characteristics of intangible cultural heritage but also demonstrate their properties as artwork and practical objects.
Zhou Renci, the inheritor representative of seashell carving at the provincial level had been cooperating with vocational schools to implement training courses of intangible cultural heritage techniques, hoping the cultural heritage programmes which contain wisdom of humanity can be studied and accepted by more young people.
