introduction

In this era of information overload, folk artists serve as the guardians of China's intangible cultural heritage, passing down traditional arts through their dedicated craftsmanship. Inspired by my family's influence and my hometown's rich cultural heritage, I embarked on a photography project to capture and document the inheritors of these crafts, with the aim of preserving their knowledge, providing reference materials for research, and ensuring the cultural essence is not forgotten by future generations.
