Guangxi intangible cultural heritage items staged in Sydney

A celebration of the Chinese New Year was held at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney on Feb 9, featuring a series of Guangxi intangible cultural heritage displays and artistic performances, attracting around 900 participants.

The celebration was divided into indoor and outdoor sections. The indoor section allowed visitors to experience various intangible cultural heritage items, such as the fresh and fragrant jasmine tea and the rich and mellow Liubao tea. They also had the chance to make their own sachets using Zhuang brocade, one of China's four famous brocades.

Additionally, participants were able to personally experience the ancient technique of woodblock printing, a representative work of human intangible cultural heritage, and movable type printing, one of China's four great inventions.

The outdoor section was filled with dancing, singing, and acrobatics. The performances created an atmosphere of festive joy that left the audience captivated.
