Intangible cultural heritage continues to enrich China-US exchanges

China Daily  

A visitor takes photo of an embroidered hat at a Chinese cultural promotion event in New York in February. NEW YORK — In a remarkable act of cultural diplomacy, a series of events showcasing the rich heritage of Henan province, a central Chinese region celebrated for its deep historical and cultural significance, captivated audiences in New York City and Philadelphia. One of the event's highlights was when Yuan Shengke, a master of Chinese paper-cutting, created silhouettes of guest speakers David Adelman, a board officer of the US-China Green Institute, and Jessica Bissett, senior director at the National Committee on US-China Relations. The New York Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Center, led by Lan Chaohai, enhanced the spectacle with an artful demonstration of Shaolin, a symbol of Henan's martial legacy. Driving home the importance of these cultural exchanges, Adelman, who has visited China numerous times since 1987, called for enhancing partnerships at the state and provincial level, particularly through people-to-people connections.
