  • Keeping Watch on Intangible Cultural Heritage: Live Transmission and Sustainable Development of Chinese Lacquer Art
    sustainability Article Keeping Watch on Intangible Cultural Heritage: Live Transmission and Sustainable Development of Chinese Lacquer Art Xiaoting Song 1, Yongzhong Yang 1,*, Ruo Yang 1 and Mohsin Shafi 2 1 Business School, Sichuan University, Chengdu 610065, China 2 School of Economics and Management, Leshan Normal University, Leshan 614000, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 19 May 2019; Accepted: 9 July 2019; Published: 16 July 2019 Abstract: Countries all over the world have been constantly exploring ways to rescue and protect intangible cultural heritage. While learning from other countries’ protection measures, the Chinese government is also constantly exploring ways that conform to China’s national conditions. As China’s first batch of intangible cultural heritage, lacquer art boasts a brilliant history, but many people are not familiar with it today. Moreover, in the process of modernization, the lacquer art transmission is declining day by day, and it is facing unprecedented major crises such as loss and division of history into periods. Hence, it is essential to verify and reveal the challenges and dilemmas in the lacquer art transmission, and come up with corresponding protection measures around these problems. First of all, this research, through literature review, “horizontally” explores the current research status and the universal problems of lacquer art transmission from the macro level. With a view to make up for the deficiencies of the existing research and further supplement the empirical evidence, the current research, with the transmission of “Chengdu lacquer art” as an example and through in-depth interviews, tracks and investigates the whole process of transmission of Chengdu Lacquer Art Training Institute, and “vertically” analyzes the survival situation of lacquer art transmission and the core problems affecting transmission behaviors from the micro level.

  • Inheritance, Protection and Innovative Development of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage—Carved Lacquerware
    https://doi.org/10.37420/icaces.2020.031 Inheritance, Protection and Innovative Development of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage—Carved Lacquerware Desai Jiang, Yue Xu College of Arts, Guilin University of Technology, Guilin 541006, China Abstract: This paper studies the protection and inheritance of this precious China’s intangible cultural heritage from the aspects of carving lacquer technology, personnel training and innovation. Focusing on the protection of carving lacquer technology and the innovation in the design and production of carved lacquer handicrafts, it is proposed to protect the carving lacquer technology from three aspects which is intellectual property right, personnel training and raw material. In terms of technical innovation, the possibility of combining carved lacquer with various materials is studied and analyzed. Keywords: Carved lacquer; Arts and crafts; Lacquerware; Intangible cultural heritage 1 Introduction Carved lacquer is a unique category of arts and crafts in China. It can also be called Tihong, Tihuang,Tihei,Ticai and Tixi, because of its different colors. Among them, Beijing carved lacquerware is the most representative example, and has many quality products in the world. Carved lacquer has a long history. According to records, it can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty carved lacquer gradually flourished, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties were its heyday of development. Carved lacquer handicrafts have won many awards in international expositions and earned a lot of foreign exchange for the country in special period. In 2006, carved lacquer was listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in China. Unfortunately, since the 1990s, the carved lacquer industry has gradually shrunk, as the number of employees is extremely reduced and the trend is aging, cause the inheritance of skills has seriously broken down.

  • Rank Badges for Civil Officials
    Section 2. Cranes and Peacocks: Rank Badges for Civil Officials Introduction Scholar-officials (called mandarins by Westerners) held the most prestigious positions in the Chinese imperial bureaucracy. As early as the Zhou dynasty (1027–256 BCE), court officials were selected based on ability. In the Tang dynasty (618–907) candidates for office were tested on their literary knowledge. It was the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), however, that refined the multi-tiered examination system; until their abolition in 1905, passing these examinations was the most certain path to social and material advancement for the successful candidate and his family. Candidates aspired to posts on the emperor’s advisory council (for first-rank officials) or to a provincial post. With further study a mandarin might gain promotion to the higher ranks—some ranks could also be purchased. There were nine civil ranks, each represented by a bird, with minor variations between the Ming and Qing dynasties. Birds were selected because they featured frequently in literary works and literati paintings. It could take years to obtain an appointment and once achieved, there were rules of appropriate behavior for civil officials. For example, they were not permitted to walk, but were required to travel in a sedan chair with the number of attendants and outriders appropriate to their rank—these could number more than fifty men. For mandarins above the fourth rank, all street traffic had to stop when they passed, gongs were beaten, and cannon fired when they entered or left a building. From a very early age boys were prepared for success in the examinations.

Contact: [email protected]] * * * Abstract: Hair embroidery was a particular technique practiced by lay Buddhist women to create devotional images. The embroiderers used their own hair as threads and applied them on silk to stitch figures. This paper will analyze the religious connotation of hair embroidery, the ritual process and the techniques for making hair embroidery in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. By tracing its appearance in both literary texts and actual surviving objects, this essay will ask how and in what circumstances human hair was applied to embroidery? What was the significance of transferring one’s own hair onto an icon? How did hair embroidery combine women’s bodies (their hair) with a womanly skill (embroidery) to make a unique gendered practice in late imperial China? During various stages of writing this paper, Paul Copp, Jacob Eyferth, Anup Grewal, Marsha Haufler, Dorothy Ko, Viren Murthy, Angela Sheng, Susan Strauber, Wu Hung, Chun-fang Yu, and Judith Zeitlin have offered their insightful comments and suggestions.
