热点06 传统手艺的现代传承(剪纸、漆扇等)
传统手艺的现代传承是文化延续与时代创新的双重命题。当前,大量传统工艺面临技艺断层、市场萎缩的困境,老艺人老龄化与年轻群体参与不足形成结构性矛盾。工业化生产与全球化消费冲击着手工技艺的生存空间,但非遗保护政策、文创跨界和数字化转型也为传统手艺注入新活力。
现代传承的核心在于"活态创新":一方面通过纪录片、短视频等新媒体传播技艺文化,扩大社会认知;另一方面推动实用性转型,如将传统漆器转化为现代家居用品,或利用3D建模辅助手作设计,平衡效率与工艺精髓。电商平台与文旅融合为手工艺品开辟新销路,学徒制结合职业教育培养新生代匠人。
值得注意的是,传承需避免过度商业化对文化内核的消解,应建立"生产性保护"机制,让传统技艺在当代生活中自然生长,成为连接过去与未来的文化纽带。

Lacquer fans are amazing fans from China, and their history dates back to the Han Dynasty. Later, lacquer fans became one of the top collections in the art world during the Tang Dynasty.
Lacquer is a natural material taken from the lacquer tree. It was first used to coat wooden objects to protect them from water and insects. Over time, workers began to use lacquer to make and decorate fans.
Lacquer fans are made with bamboo or wooden frames (框架). Traditionally, they are painted with different subjects and patterns (图案) such as flowers, birds, and figures (人物), to make them more beautiful. Although the methods of making fans continue to develop, skilled workers still use traditional skills to create lacquer fans, keeping this ancient art alive.
Nowadays, lacquer fan painting is one of the most popular activities among young people, which is considered a new form of expression of lacquer art. Instead of using traditional tools such as brushes, lacquer fan painting is done only by the lacquer and water. The process is quite simple: people first choose the colors they want to use, drop the colored lacquer into the water, mix it, put the fans in the water for a while, and then take them out. And that’s it.
Making each fan is like opening a blind box, as no one can know how the product will be like before it turns out. So every fan is unique.
For centuries, lacquer fans have been loved for their beauty. And they are becoming increasingly popular among young people nowadays.

Several stick puppets dressed in traditional costumes are playing and having fun on the stage. They can change their facial expressions and do difficult movements. The puppeteers use three rods to control the puppets from below. This amazing art needs hard work from people like Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old puppet maker from Xiaoyi in Shanxi.
Stick puppets have a long history in Xiaoyi. They became popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wang fell in love with puppet-making when he was a teenager and decided to focus on learning this skill. In 2008, Xiaoyi’s stick puppets were recognized as part of China’s national cultural heritage.
Making a stick puppet takes about 40 to 50 days. They are usually 75 centimetres to 1 metre tall and have different costumes for different plays. To make them, you need to understand art and have basic skills. Wang says that traditional Xiaoyi puppet plays use the style of local operas, which are liked by older people. But he realized that to attract more people, he needed to change the puppets’ appearance.
Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood, which is time-consuming and heavy. But Wang found that craft paper is a better material. It’s lighter and easier to put things inside the puppets’ heads to make them move. Some puppets can even do face-changing, which is a special skill in Chinese operas.
Journey to the West, a famous Chinese novel, is often shown as a puppet play. In the story, the Monkey King has special powers. To show this in the play, Wang uses special techniques to make the puppet’s eyes move. His hard work and creativity make the puppet shows even more exciting and enjoyable for everyone to watch.

As the most popular drink in the world (after water), tea is no stranger to us. But how much do you know about tea sets? Do you know that they have changed a lot over time?
In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty. In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are mentioned.
The tea sets in the Tang Dynasty were simple while the ones in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). In the Song Dynasty, the competitive game based on tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck and a curved (弧形的) mouth, which could control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then. The color matches the tea better and the thickness of the cup can help keep the tea warm.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple again, and those made of gold and silver gradually disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu flourished and were loved widely. It is said that tea made by Yixing’s purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night even in hot summer.

Yunjin (云锦) is a beautiful brocade (锦缎) made in Nanjing. Jiangsu Province. Yun in Chinese means clouds and jin means brocade. The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value.
Yunjin, with a history of over 1, 600 years, has the best quality among all the brocades in China. It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth. The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (织布机) as big as 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high. The huge loom needs two people to work, one above and one below. The process (过程) is so long and complex that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines. Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining. In ancient times, yunjin served as materials for royal family’s clothes and to beautify their palaces. It was also used as gifts for important foreign guests.
With the development of technology and changes in people’s lifestyle, young people have less interest in traditional arts which require a long time of learning and practicing. To pass down the skills of yunjin, the Chinese government set up Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute in 1957, which has helped spread the culture of brocade and built a cultural bridge between China and the world.

In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved.
The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao.
In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, Shanxi Province. There he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills.
It was easier said than done. It took the father and son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.
But the father and son did not stop there. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence (影响) of the Chengni inkstone.

①Zigong, in Sichuan Province is home to Chinese lanterns. Zigong lantern is known as the best lantern in the world. The Zigong Lantern Festival dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The festival has rapidly developed with traditional culture and modern technologies. In 2008, the Zigong Lantern Festival was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家级非物质文化遗产), becoming a shining name card for Chinese culture to go out into the world.
②“Making a huge lantern for exhibition requires 17 steps,” said Wan Songtao, an inheritor (传承人) of Zigong lantern-making. “Each step is finished by a team instead of a single maker.” Wan added. The sundial (日晷), a kind of lantern, made by Wan’s team, for example, took about 80 makers over 50 days to complete the whole process.

They are perfect groups of lights, sounds and movements.
③What’s more, the theme of the lantern can be chosen in different ways. “Anything that can be designed on a lantern can make a wonderful show, and everyone is encouraged to turn their ideas into real works,” said Zhang Fanglai, a leading researcher at the Colorful Lantern Museum of China. And the rich themes of Zigong lanterns show the spirit of creativity and warmth from the bottom of the local people’s heart.
④The government encourages local people to learn lantern-making widely. Without doubt, the heart of the Zigong Lantern Festival’s success is the local tradition of pulling together. Zigong lanterns are getting more and more popular. Driven by the collective efforts of the whole city, they have reached over 80 countries.

热点06 传统手艺的现代传承(剪纸、漆扇等)
传统手艺的现代传承是文化延续与时代创新的双重命题。当前,大量传统工艺面临技艺断层、市场萎缩的困境,老艺人老龄化与年轻群体参与不足形成结构性矛盾。工业化生产与全球化消费冲击着手工技艺的生存空间,但非遗保护政策、文创跨界和数字化转型也为传统手艺注入新活力。
现代传承的核心在于"活态创新":一方面通过纪录片、短视频等新媒体传播技艺文化,扩大社会认知;另一方面推动实用性转型,如将传统漆器转化为现代家居用品,或利用3D建模辅助手作设计,平衡效率与工艺精髓。电商平台与文旅融合为手工艺品开辟新销路,学徒制结合职业教育培养新生代匠人。
值得注意的是,传承需避免过度商业化对文化内核的消解,应建立"生产性保护"机制,让传统技艺在当代生活中自然生长,成为连接过去与未来的文化纽带。

Lacquer fans are amazing fans from China, and their history dates back to the Han Dynasty. Later, lacquer fans became one of the top collections in the art world during the Tang Dynasty.
Lacquer is a natural material taken from the lacquer tree. It was first used to coat wooden objects to protect them from water and insects. Over time, workers began to use lacquer to make and decorate fans.
Lacquer fans are made with bamboo or wooden frames (框架). Traditionally, they are painted with different subjects and patterns (图案) such as flowers, birds, and figures (人物), to make them more beautiful. Although the methods of making fans continue to develop, skilled workers still use traditional skills to create lacquer fans, keeping this ancient art alive.
Nowadays, lacquer fan painting is one of the most popular activities among young people, which is considered a new form of expression of lacquer art. Instead of using traditional tools such as brushes, lacquer fan painting is done only by the lacquer and water. The process is quite simple: people first choose the colors they want to use, drop the colored lacquer into the water, mix it, put the fans in the water for a while, and then take them out. And that’s it.
Making each fan is like opening a blind box, as no one can know how the product will be like before it turns out. So every fan is unique.
For centuries, lacquer fans have been loved for their beauty. And they are becoming increasingly popular among young people nowadays.

木偶戏
文章
Several stick puppets dressed in traditional costumes are playing and having fun on the stage. They can change their facial expressions and do difficult movements. The puppeteers use three rods to control the puppets from below. This amazing art needs hard work from people like Wang Maowei, a 40-year-old puppet maker from Xiaoyi in Shanxi.
Stick puppets have a long history in Xiaoyi. They became popular during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wang fell in love with puppet-making when he was a teenager and decided to focus on learning this skill. In 2008, Xiaoyi’s stick puppets were recognized as part of China’s national cultural heritage.
Making a stick puppet takes about 40 to 50 days. They are usually 75 centimetres to 1 metre tall and have different costumes for different plays. To make them, you need to understand art and have basic skills. Wang says that traditional Xiaoyi puppet plays use the style of local operas, which are liked by older people. But he realized that to attract more people, he needed to change the puppets’ appearance.
Traditionally, stick puppets are made of wood, which is time-consuming and heavy. But Wang found that craft paper is a better material. It’s lighter and easier to put things inside the puppets’ heads to make them move. Some puppets can even do face-changing, which is a special skill in Chinese operas.
Journey to the West, a famous Chinese novel, is often shown as a puppet play. In the story, the Monkey King has special powers. To show this in the play, Wang uses special techniques to make the puppet’s eyes move. His hard work and creativity make the puppet shows even more exciting and enjoyable for everyone to watch.

A.Stick products. B.Traditional dresses.
C.Puppet making. D.Drama performance.

As the most popular drink in the world (after water), tea is no stranger to us. But how much do you know about tea sets? Do you know that they have changed a lot over time?
In general, tea sets become smaller and simpler after many changes throughout history. There are few records of tea sets before the Tang Dynasty. In Cha Jing (The Classic of Tea), a great book written by Lu Yu in the Tang Dynasty, 28 kinds of tools used for making and drinking tea are mentioned.
The tea sets in the Tang Dynasty were simple while the ones in the Song Dynasty were more gorgeous (华丽的). In the Song Dynasty, the competitive game based on tea drinking enjoyed great popularity. The tea bottle used in the game often had a big belly, a long neck and a curved (弧形的) mouth, which could control the water better when filling a cup. Cups made of black glaze (黑釉) were especially loved by people then. The color matches the tea better and the thickness of the cup can help keep the tea warm.
In the Ming and Qing dynasties, tea sets became simple again, and those made of gold and silver gradually disappeared. To test the color of the tea, white tea sets were more popular. In the Qing Dynasty, purple clay tea sets made in Yixing, Jiangsu flourished and were loved widely. It is said that tea made by Yixing’s purple clay tea sets still tastes good after being kept in the teapot for one night even in hot summer.

Yunjin (云锦) is a beautiful brocade (锦缎) made in Nanjing. Jiangsu Province. Yun in Chinese means clouds and jin means brocade. The materials used in yunjin are valuable, such as silk, gold and silver, resulting in its high collecting value.
Yunjin, with a history of over 1, 600 years, has the best quality among all the brocades in China. It stands for the finest Chinese silk cloth. The brocade comes out from a traditional wooden loom (织布机) as big as 5.6 meters long, 1.4 meters wide and 4 meters high. The huge loom needs two people to work, one above and one below. The process (过程) is so long and complex that a brocade with a length of 5 to 6 centimeters takes two people all day to make and the production cannot be replaced with modern machines. Its pictures are large in shape and the use of gold and silver makes them rich and shining. In ancient times, yunjin served as materials for royal family’s clothes and to beautify their palaces.

In ancient China, there were “four treasures of the study”—the writing brush, ink, paper, and the inkstone (砚台). Among all the inkstones, the Chengni inkstone was one of the most famous and was widely loved.
The Chengni inkstone first appeared during the Western Han Dynasty, but the skills of making it were lost during the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. Thankfully, today the traditional skills have been revived (恢复) with the help of Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao.
In 1984, Lin Yongmao began working at the museum in Xinjiang, Shanxi Province. There he read some books about the Xinjiang Chengni inkstone, and then decided to revive the lost skills.
It was easier said than done. It took the father and son two years to find proper materials to produce the Chengni inkstone. That was just the first step. After failing many times, they finally succeeded in making two Chengni inkstones in 1991. Three years later, their Chengni inkstones won a gold prize at an expo (博览会) on China’s famous inkstones.
But the father and son did not stop there. While improving the skills of making the Chengni inkstone, they set up a workshop in the hope of passing the skills on to young people. They also worked with universities and colleges to make the Chengni inkstone more popular. At the same time, Lin Tao has created special Chengni inkstone products and brought them to competitions at home and abroad to expand the influence (影响) of the Chengni inkstone.
根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
