Partial Display of Works on the Grand Canal
The canal is leisurely and thriving. The continuation and development of the Grand Canal culture cannot be separated from new ways of expression, nor can it be separated from the excavation of the contemporary value of the canal's intangible cultural heritage. Huo Qingshun, a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage of Yangliu Qingmu New Year paintings who participated in this event, has been associated with Yangliu Qingmu New Year paintings since childhood. Through decades of perseverance and inheritance, he deeply understands his own responsibilities and responsibilities. As a representative inheritor of national intangible cultural heritage, he always takes his love for making New Year paintings as his original intention. "This event has connected provinces and cities along the Grand Canal. Intangible cultural heritage inheritors from 8 provinces and cities have come to Yangliuqing to showcase traditional cultural heritage with different regions and characteristics. I think it is very meaningful. Huo Qingshun said that more people should learn and understand Yangliuqing woodblock New Year paintings, and make more people like them. We need to vigorously protect and inherit them, so that excellent traditional Chinese culture can come to life and be passed down.".
It is understood that compared with previous events, this event has been comprehensively improved and expanded in terms of content, scale, and form. In addition to opening cultural markets, showcasing intangible cultural heritage exhibits, cuisine, and cultural creativity from various provinces and cities, it has also restored some real-life scenes of ancient water and land docks and warehouse culture, bringing the charm of the Grand Canal and coastal areas to Yangliuqing Ancient Town.
