Traditional handicrafts kept and passed down in Shandong

China Daily  

Shandong province in East China is regarded as an important cradle of Chinese civilization, having generated a diverse range of civilizations, including refined and sophisticated art and handicrafts. Earlier this month, Shandong released an action plan for promoting high-quality development of the province's traditional handicrafts, which stressed that the development of handicrafts should ensure direct benefits to the people. The province is home to 186 and 1,073 intangible cultural heritage items on the national and provincial lists, respectively, making it one of the most popular in the country. A piece of Yantai paper-cutting work caught the audience's attention at this year's China Central Television Spring Festival Gala. Liang Qiaoyan, a Yantai paper-cutting art inheritor, displays her tiger-themed paper-cutting piece, which was selected for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala's culture performance honor.
