China’s rich intangible cultural heritage (ICH) is vividly preserved in specialized museums that showcase age-old crafts and traditions. Here are three renowned institutions offering profound cultural insights.

China National Arts and Crafts Museum (Beijing)

Established in 2022, the museum stands on Beijing’s Central Axis, also called China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum. Its architectural design mixes Forbidden City aesthetics with modern elements, symbolizing cultural continuity. The collection spans 11 craft categories, including jade carvings and textiles. highlighting its treasures are four imperial jade masterpieces carved from a single raw stone, such as Magnificent Scenery of Mount Tai, representing China’s craft height. Free to visit (with reservation), it’s a premier venue for understanding national-level ICH.

China Yunjin Museum (Nanjing)

It is dedicated to Yunjin, the “cloud brocade” once exclusive to emperors. Its star exhibit is the Plain Silk Gown — a Han Dynasty relic thinner than cicada wings, embodying ancient weaving mastery. The museum preserves traditional Jacques looms and demonstrates the complex production process, where a single piece may take years to complete. Visitors witness how this luxurious textile, named for its cloud-like beauty, has evolved while preserving cultural essence.

Puzhen Bai Ethnic Tie-Dye Museum (Yunnan)

It showcases tie-dye, a UNESCO-listed craft. Located in Dali, it displays both traditional and contemporary works, from indigo-dyed fabrics to innovative designs. What sets it apart is interactive experiences: visitors can try tying and dyeing fabrics themselves, engaging directly with the “zhahua” technique. The museum preserves the Bai people’s ecological dyeing methods, using natural paints and plant materials, reflecting harmony between humans and nature.

These museums not only exhibit artifacts but also breathe life into endangered skills, inviting global audiences to appreciate China’s cultural legacy.

My cat Jean-Philippe is what you might charitably describe as ‘big-boned’.

I adopted Phil when he was about six months old.Before he came to my house, he had been  living with a couple of other kittens out on the street. When I moved into a fourth-floor apartment, he became a full-time indoor foodie. I usually call him Fat Phil. I love him, but he is basically a meat loaf with fur. I finally realized things were getting out of control when he outgrew his cat carrier and I was forced to buy one built for a medium-sized dog.

To make sure that Phil would stick around for as long as possible, I knew I needed to make some changes to his diet — whether or not he was fully on board with them. Although Fat Phil needed to become Slim Phil, losing weight too quickly could be dangerous. I was sent by Phil’s doctor to a website that calculates how many calories a day a cat needs to consume to lose weight at a healthy pace. This is when I learnt that you apparently need to understand advanced algebra (代数) to count cat-food calories.

Phil eats a combination of raw, freeze-dried, and canned food, and he began his diet at 270 calories a day. Have you ever tried to figure out the calories in your cat’s favourite brands of food? Some don’t include the information on the label. Others give it in tiny print. Or they publish it in  terms that require you to figure out, say, that if 450 grams of freeze-dried chicken biscuits contain 125 calories, a kitchen cup weighs about 700 grams, and 50 biscuits fit in a cup, each biscuit has…wait...

I have to keep reminding myself that this is the very best diet for cats, according to doctors. And finally! After more than a year, Phil’s daily intake has been reduced to 250 calories.

But it’s an ongoing struggle. He’s a hardened food thief. He starts pushing for dinner at about

1p. m., sometimes rising up on his legs and tapping me on the shoulder with his front paw as I sit at my computer. If he had a watch, he’d be pointing at it. Resisting his most sincere requests takes as much self-control as I can develop, but I persist. And any month now, my boy is going to slim down that dog-sized body and become the size of a very large cat.

Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.

Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude,
