At the opening ceremony of the 'Theme Day of Ningbo (Zhejiang)', the performance of Xue Qiaoping, an inheritor of Nanhai playing teeth, sparked an eruption of cheers and applauses at Beijing International Horticultural Exhibition 2019.
Into summer vacation, Beijing Expo ushered in a new wave of vistors. As of now, the Expo has been open for more than 80 days, during which there is no lack of intangible cultural heritage on many theme day activities featuring different provinces and cities, including Beijing, Hebei and Chongqing.
Yin Xiuyun was invited to demonstrate carved lacquerware in the Expo town. With the number of visitors on the rise, a growing number of Chinese and foreign tourists stopped by his booth. Old as he is, Yin is deeply engrossed in creation and willing to attend various display and promotional activities of intangible cultural heritage. "The Expo provides an excellent opportunity to let more people know about our country's intangible cultural heritage."
There have been more than a hundred varieties of intangible heritage demonstrated since the opening of the Expo. Some are performed in Gui Rui Theater and on various squares and some displayed and experienced in each garden, enabling visitors to feel the endless charm of intangible cultural heritage at a close range.
