CHAKAAN GAAN NGAI : Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Rongmei
Intangible cultural heritage is a bridge that links between our past and future, and it symbolizes the identity and self-esteem of communities involved. Intangible cultural heritage encompasses practices and living expressions handed down from one generation to another. It includes oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, rituals, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe as well as the knowledge and skills of traditional crafts. Intangible cultural heritage is among humanity’s most precious expressions, precisely because it goes to the very heart of how we understand the world, each other and ourselves. It is also people-based, it can only be defined and safeguarded by communities that practice it. In line with such a vision, the UNESCO's 2003 Convention For the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage is rooted in the understanding of intangible cultural heritage as something living, dynamic and as an ever-changing source of knowledge and something that can be at once traditional and innovative.
