As both paper-cutting and sachets serve similar historical functions, expulsing evil spirits and praying for happiness, the event aimed to encourage people to cooperate and fight the epidemic together.

Two intangible culture heritage inheritors, Li Jinbo and Bian Chengfei were invited to give the online training. Li is an inheritor of Gaomi paper-cutting and Bian an artist specializing in Fei county embroidery, an intangible cultural heritage in Shandong province.

In upcoming days, the center will launch online events to share thangka paining and Peking Opera San Cha Kou (Divergence).
