The image of the ancient Chinese sage and educator Confucius was vividly presented in various forms of intangible cultural heritage items recently. During the 2022 China (Qufu) International Confucius Cultural Festival and the Eighth Nishan Forum on World Civilizations in Qufu, East China's Shandong province, folk inheritors of intangible cultural heritage items showcased their respective skills, providing visitors with a feast for their eyes.

I suppose I could have posted this on my Confucius group, but the display of various forms of creative art belongs on the Creative Arts group. I am particularly fascinated by a person's ability to be so precise in order to do inside-bottle painting.
Will post a link to this shortly.
Thank you.
Some of those pieces are beautiful. It is wonderful that the artistic traditions of China are kept alive.
You've had the benefit of witnessing the amazing culture of China first hand, so your opinion is valued.
Those art wonderful pieces of art. The painting inside the bottle is something I've never seen before.
Yeah, the inside-bottle painting is the first I've ever seen as well, and as I said in my comment above, it amazed me as well.
