China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage

China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage refers to living traditional cultural practices, knowledge, crafts and arts passed down orally and by demonstration across generations. It covers folk customs, traditional handicrafts, performing arts, ancient rituals and indigenous wisdom. These heritage items carry Chinese history, aesthetic spirit and community memory. They are not physical relics, but living skills and culture that people inherit, practice and revitalise today.

Why need to Preserve


China’s intangible cultural heritage holds the spirit and shared memory of Chinese civilisation. We preserve it to save unique handcrafts, ancient wisdom and traditional beauty passed down for generations.

It keeps folk arts and customs alive so they will not disappear. It helps us know our cultural roots, inspires modern design, supports international cultural exchange, and passes these precious living treasures to young people and the whole world.
