“世事洗尽铅华,唯有匠心永恒”

Amidst life's trials and tribulations, only the craftsman's spirit endures eternally.

Zhang Hanmin

Hanmin has helped many elderly people in the community who were once forgotten, allowing them to reengage in the art of batik production and its heritage. This has allowed their wisdom and Bai culture to be showcased once again.

Li Mingfu

Li Fuming spends more than ten hours each day creating and polishing various silver and copper items, sometimes with sudden bursts of inspiration. To bring to life the unique designs in his mind, he sacrifices sleep and meals, dedicating himself to the tools and materials in his hands. Day after day, regardless of extreme weather, his hands keep accumulating calluses.

SI QING GA

Duan Shukun

Duan Shukun, the 18th-generation heir of the Duan family from Zhoucheng, a provincial-level inheritor of Bai ethnic tie-dyeing, has established China's first Bai ethnic tie-dyeing museum. He has also facilitated the development of tie-dyeing industry among villagers and the preservation of tie-dyeing traditions.

Yang Yahui

Yang Yahui's mother is a provincial-level inheritor of Dali paper-cutting, a form of intangible cultural heritage. Inheriting from his mother, Yang Yahui spent a full decade honing his paper-cutting skills. He infused his modern design thinking into the traditional craft of paper-cutting, breathing new life into the ancient art of paper-cutting.

You Dingmei

As an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of hand embroidery, You Dingmei has passed down this skill for five generations, from her great-grandmother to her daughter. From fabric scraps to embroidered patches, from embroidered clothes to waistbands, with her skilled needlework, ordinary pieces of cloth come alive, depicting the charm of flowers and the grace of butterflies. With colorful threads, she weaves vivid and pleasing artworks, which have not only generated significant economic benefits for her but also inspired over 40 people to learn and engage in this craft, thus expanding the community of inheritors.
