Seeing the intangible cultural heritage in Chaozhou this way is worth the billion-dollar ticket price

🔴If you think that there is only food to enjoy when visiting Chaozhou🥘🥗🫕? That's really ignorant! If you want your trip to be more meaningful, then the various intangible cultural heritage artworks here 🖼🏮 are something you definitely cannot miss‼ ️‼ ️. 🔴Of course you don’t have to go out of your way to look for it🔍🔍, you can find a lot of treasures in the popular online celebrity scenic spot Guangji Bridge🛳. Next, I will tell you where you can see it🙈. 🔴What are the intangible cultural heritages of Chaozhou😎? 1️⃣🌟Chaozhou inlaid porcelain🔮 Commonly known as Tierao or Kou Rao, it is one of the three major traditional architectural decorative arts in the Chaoshan area of ​​Guangdong Province, and is also a rare special art in traditional culture. It is based on gray sculpture and uses various colored porcelain pieces to cut and inlay into expressive images. It is mainly used for beautification and decoration of ancestral halls, temples and other places. 2️⃣🌟Chaozhou wood carving🪘 It is a Chinese folk carving art, mainly used to decorate buildings🏠, furniture🪑🛏 and sacrificial utensils🏮. It is one of the traditional crafts in Chaozhou area with a long history👍. 3️⃣🌟Chao embroidery👘🧶🪡 Yue embroidery is an important branch of one of the four famous Chinese embroidery styles. It is a traditional embroidery craft in Chaozhou area. It has a unique artistic style and exquisite embroidery skills. It is often used in the decoration of clothing, home accessories, screens, etc. 4️⃣🌟Chaozhou openwork porcelain🏺⚱️ It is the most distinctive craft decorative porcelain in Chaozhou. The bottle body is hollow and transparent, and there are porcelain flowers 🌺 on the outside of the bottle, so it is named Tonghua porcelain. 5️⃣🌟Chaozhou paper cutting✂️ It is a traditional folk art form in Chaozhou area with a long history, unique style and strong local characteristics. 6️⃣🌟Chaozhou colored porcelain⚱️ Chaocai, for short, is a type of colored porcelain with a unique local style that is created by Chaozhou's ceramics industry using new color pigments combined with traditional overglaze painting art. 7️⃣🌟Chaozhou Drawnwork🪢 It is a product of the combination of traditional Chaozhou embroidery and European drawnwork. It has more than 400 kinds of needle techniques, such as carved embroidery🪡, drawn embroidery🪢, shadow needle embroidery🧶, color flat embroidery, etc. Through the combination of different needle techniques, rich and diverse pattern effects can be created. 8️⃣🌟Chaozhou Bead Embroidery🧿🔮 In the early 20th century, craftsmen embroidered imported beads on Cantonese opera costumes and other props, and Chaozhou bead embroidery began to flourish. The color matching is exquisite, and beads of various colors collide and blend with each other🔮, which can match the passionate and unrestrained fashion style or the elegant and gentle oriental charm🏮. 9️⃣🌟Chaozhou Iron Rod Puppet Show🪆🎭 It evolved from the shadow play🤹‍♀️that was introduced by immigrants from the Central Plains during the Southern Song Dynasty. It went through stages such as "sun-window paper shadows🤹‍♂️" and "round-body paper shadows🎭", and gradually formed into the current puppet form🎎 after the Qing Dynasty. -The puppet heads are made of red clay, which is dried in the sun and baked to set the shape. They are then painted with waterproof paint and various facial makeup of the characters. 🔴💮In addition to these arts with carriers, Chaozhou also has many truly "intangible" cultural heritages. For example, Teochew opera 🎎, Teochew music 🪕, Kung Fu tea 🫖, Teochew cuisine 🥘🥗… including the Guangji Bridge 🛶🛶🛶 that we see opening and closing, it can be regarded as a cultural tradition with a long history. That’s right! There is also the Yingge dance 👬 which is very popular in China now. If you can happen to catch a Yingge performance, it would be a real "big win" 😘! ! 🔴🔴Where can I watch intangible cultural heritage❓❓❓ 1️⃣, Chaozhou Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall: After visiting the Qinglong Ancient Temple, walk along the river toward Guangji Street. 📍Location: Near Chaozhou Qinglong Ancient Temple 🎫Tickets: Free ⏰Visiting time: about 30 minutes 2️⃣, Guangji Building There is a city tower opposite the Guangji Bridge, which is the famous Guangji Tower. You can see the ticket office on the second floor and buy tickets at the door before entering to visit. 📍Location: 2nd to 3rd floor, Guangji Building 🎫Cost: 40 yuan ⏰Visiting time: about 1 hour 3️⃣, Paifang Street Although Paifang Street is full of merchants and intangible cultural heritage is not so concentrated, many small shops also have hidden "intangible cultural heritage", such as Yingge Experience Store 🤹‍♀️, tea shops 🫖, and various delicious snacks 🍢🍡. Who can say that these are not cultural heritage for thousands of years 🤓?
