An international exhibition of intangible cultural heritage ran from Friday to Sunday at the Beijing Exhibition Center.

Co-organized by the Beijing International Art Fair Foundation and the China Youth Care Foundation, the event aimed to provide a platform to showcase the allure of diverse intangible cultural heritage. It had drawn intangible heritage inheritors from nearly 40 countries and regions, as well as art collectors.

The exhibition units focusing on traditional cuisine and traditional skills had attracted numerous visitors, featuring over 60 traditional skills spanning cuisines, music and dance, traditional Chinese medicine culture, various forms of embroidery, and Chinese martial arts, among other rich categories.

The event offered different activities, including exhibitions, cultural performances, forums, charitable auctions and sales. These activities raised public awareness of the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage, driving innovation and development within the intangible cultural heritage arts industry.

Taking this exhibition as a new starting point, the Beijing International Art Fair Foundation plans to regularly host such events to awaken widespread public interest and love for intangible cultural heritage, promote their integration into modern life and showcase their unique charm through cross-cultural exchanges on an international scale.
