China’s vast territory and long history have engendered a profuse and colorful intangible cultural heritage. Wang Wenzhang, president of the China Art Academy, and his staff have spent years on comprehensive research into China’ s intangible heritage with the aim of salvaging aspects of it that are in danger of dying out. Talking to Wang Wenzhang on the subject truly brings home its universal signifi-cance. As Wang says, “The intangible cultural heritage immanent in folklore, ballads, festivals and handi-crafts constitute the quintessence of a nation.” Folk festivals are a main aspect of the cultural heritage of China’s various ethnic groups, one that we will explore and bring to our readers throughout 2008. To quote Wang Wenzhang once more, “History enables knowledge of a nation; knowing its intangible cultural heritage gives insight into its spirit.”
