Anji shines light on intangible heritage
Recently, inheritors of intangible cultural heritage from Anji county in Zhejiang province lit rows of bamboo lamps along a section of the Great Wall in Beijing, lighting up its gate towers, parapets and beacon towers.
The ceremony was part of the Anji intangible cultural heritage exhibition this year, and was held on the Great Wall where it runs through Juyong Pass, attracting tourists from around the world. The traditional cultural fair is a showcase of tea and bamboo products from the county.
In a space dedicated to tea culture, inheritors listed as masters of hand-roasted white tea making techniques demonstrated their skill at brewing Anji's trademark tea.
In another area dedicated to replacing plastic with bamboo, everyday items and creative products like woven bamboo bags and bamboo bowls offered up new ideas for environmental protection, energy conservation, and ultimately, for reducing emissions.
In addition, inheritors performed bamboo leaf dragon dances and other traditional dances, and played music on bamboo instruments.
