CPPCC member calls for innovation to keep tradition alive
Yang Yuni, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Yang Yuni, a post-1995 ethnic Hani woman, has called for continuous innovation in carrying on intangible cultural heritage during the ongoing two sessions. "Through my work and heritage practices, I have come to realize that traditional culture cannot rely solely on static preservation; it must thrive in the tides of the times," said Yang, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, on Friday. Yang founded the Yuni Cultural Heritage Center in Honghe Hani and Yi autonomous prefecture, Southwest China's Yunnan province, in 2016. Yang explained that to make intangible cultural heritage more trendy and appealing, and attract more young people to join, her team has gone to great lengths to combine modern dance, pop music, and other elements with traditional intangible cultural heritage items.
