Keeping tradition alive

China Daily  

Liu Dongmei crafts intricate pankou, or traditional Chinese knotted buttons commonly used on qipao dresses. Liu, 62, is a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage artisan in Wulian county of Rizhao, East China's Shandong province. To that effect, Rizhao is exploring innovative ways to preserve and develop its traditional cultural handicrafts to boost its cultural industry, with the city government rolling out more measures to support the preservation of traditional handicrafts and promote them, such as by setting up handicraft industrial parks, hand-made experience halls, as well as intangible cultural heritage workshops. Training courses have also been held to help traditional handicrafts inheritors discover new trends from old arts and attract intangible cultural heritage enthusiasts. For Zhao Hongxiang, being the seventh generation master craftsman of millstones in the area means a major responsibility to not just pass down the intangible cultural heritage, but also to come up with new ways of keeping it practical and useful.
