As a country with a rich history and splendid civilization, China has witnessed the passing down of numerous forms of intangible cultural heritage which continue to flourish today. China Daily recently launched the documentary series Revival of Ancient Arts, filming inheritors and modern artists who are dedicated to preserving and reviving ancient arts. Ronghua, or velvet flowers that are made of silk and copper wire, hold a rich historical legacy in China. The tradition of wearing velvet flowers is believed to date back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and the artistic flowers were once offered as a tribute to the imperial court. The intangible cultural heritage of velvet flower making has been passed down through the generations, preserving its timeless artistry.
