Rangtang county showcases intangible cultural heritage in Beijing exhibition

An exhibition featuring ethnic intangible cultural heritage, including embroidery, Tibetan incense, and thangka (Buddhist scroll painting), from Rangtang county, opened at Beihai Park in Beijing on Sunday.

The exhibition, jointly organized by the county government and the Beijing Tourism Group, is scheduled to run until April 21.

Rangtang, located in the west of the Aba Tibetan and Qiang autonomous prefecture in Sichuan province, is renowned for its rich ethnic culture.

The exhibition highlights over 80 pieces of intangible cultural heritage and more than 200 intangible cultural creative products across various fields. Its goal is to showcase the enigmatic allure of the plateau and the distinctive style of local intangible cultural heritage to the residents of Beijing.

Sun Hongbin, the county's deputy Party secretary, emphasized the significance of Rangtang's intangible cultural heritage, saying: "Rangtang possesses rich intangible cultural heritage, which not only serves as a business card for Rangtang culture but also constitutes an important part of Chinese culture.

"Through this event, we hope to let more people understand and appreciate Rangtang, and experience the unique charm of Rangtang culture."

Throughout the exhibition, cultural lectures, demonstrations of intangible cultural heritage skills, and local food promotion activities will be conducted.
