Adjusting the water/clay ratio, kneading the clay, and shaping the clay... With
techniques that have been practiced countless times, pottery ware begin to take
shape. "I've sold eight Li Minority-styled pottery ware," said Huang Yuying,
inheritor representative at the county level in Changjiang, Hainan, when she
took a break between sessions of demonstrating techniques of Li Minority-styled
pottery on June 12.
The 1st Nanshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival in 2021, where Huang
Yuying demonstrates her techniques, is one of the intangible cultural
heritage-oriented activities that celebrates the Cultural and Natural Heritage
Day held by Hainan Free Trade Port, the only free trade port in China.
Centering around the theme of "intangible cultural heritage of people and for
people", the Hainan Bureau of Tourism and Culture carried out nearly 100
activities in the province, mainly in exhibition sites at Haikou city, Sanya
city, Wuzhishan city, Ding'an county, and Baoting county. The rich variety of
cultural events has enabled residents, tourists, and the entire society to
benefit from the preservation of intangible cultural heritage and the
achievement of related R&D.
Apart from the Nanshan Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival in Sanya, Hainan
Intangible Cultural Heritage Shopping Festival was held in the Haikou
exhibition site on the same day. The "live broadcast promotion + offline fair"
attracted nearly 800,000 participants. The exhibition site in Wuzhishan focused
on the demonstration of techniques of intangible cultural heritage, with nearly
100 inheritor representatives of intangible cultural heritage showcasing their
talents. The exhibition site in Ding'an invited famous local performing artists
to present the audience with Hainan opera, puppet shows, Danzhou folk music,
and other traditional music and operas included in the list of intangible
cultural heritage in need of protection. The exhibition site in Baoting
launched a curriculum design competition for intangible cultural heritage
study, an itinerary design competition for intangible cultural heritage study,
and other activities, to explore how "intangible cultural heritage + study +
tourism" can be integrated with modern life.
Residents and tourists that follow the progress of Hainan's intangible cultural
heritage inheritance R&D will find that Hainan has taken comprehensive measures
to make intangible cultural heritage closer to people's daily lives and to
introduce young people to their rich cultural heritage. Many intangible
cultural heritage handicrafts and creative cultural products such as vases, tea
sets, and tableware not only explicitly embody the characteristics of
intangible cultural heritage but also demonstrate their properties as artwork
and practical objects. Zhou Renci, the inheritor representative of seashell
carving at the provincial level, said that he had been cooperating with
vocational schools over the past few years to implement training courses of
intangible cultural heritage techniques, hoping that the cultural heritage
programs which contain the wisdom of humanity can be studied and accepted by
more young people.
