Deputy champions preserving ethnic cultures
China DailyLu Lihua puts on makeup before a performance in Dali Bai autonomous prefecture, Yunnan province, in January. Lu has learned folk songs and dances listed as national-level intangible Yi cultural heritage, including Dage — a traditional folk song — mountain songs and Tiaocai from her elders. She returned to her hometown in 2011 to become a performer for Nanjian's ethnic culture working team and to work on preserving and passing on intangible cultural heritage and grassroots cultural arts. Things protected in the zone cover all kinds of intangible cultural heritage items, including those that reflect the diversity and uniqueness of Dali's ethnic culture, traditional historical culture and natural attractions closely related to intangible cultural heritage. Last year, Nanjian held an intangible cultural heritage performance and exhibition, which was viewed by over 200,000 people online, and many local residents also earned more money as a result," she said.
