Many people know that the design of the shell of the "top stream" ice pier of the Winter Olympics is inspired by the old Beijing ice sugar gourd, in addition, what other intangible cultural heritage elements will the Beijing Winter Olympics have? On February 10, Nandu reporters came to the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, which is only 1 kilometer away from the event venue, which is also China's first national intangible cultural heritage museum, which was officially completed on February 5 after the opening of the Winter Olympics, and the completion of the museum filled the gap of the national museum of Chinese arts and crafts and intangible cultural heritage.
Here, the Nandu reporter found an "ice and snow artifact", which was the "snow pedal" used by the ancient ancestors at that time, which is the prototype of skis in modern sports.
Sultan, deputy director of the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, told Nandu reporters that the world's oldest skiing originated in the Altay region of Xinjiang, and the petroglyphs excavated here from 12,000 years ago illustrate this. Today, the unique advantages of "long snow season", "high snow quality", "sufficient snow" and "wide snow" make Altay a paradise for ice and snow sports enthusiasts.
Talking about the explosion of the ice pier, Sudan also said that making fun and contemporary people's way of life to find a connection is the most difficult point for intangible cultural heritage and arts and crafts innovation, and in the next step, the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum will also launch its own cultural and creative products.

At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the ubiquitous Elements of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage
This time in Beijing, China's intangible cultural heritage elements are everywhere. In the construction of the venue, the design of the National Ski Jumping Center in Chongli "Snow Ruyi" comes from a "Ruyi" with oriental charm, lying quietly in the valley with a graceful posture.
Also with the "Chinese style" is the Shougang Ski Jump, which is the winter Olympic "blessed land" where skier Gu Ailing has just won the first gold, its design incorporates the elements of "flying sky" in the Dunhuang murals, and the building has a beautiful and smooth shape, flowing and flexible, so it is also known as "snow flying".
In the figure skating competition, the athletes' music and costumes have a strong "Chinese style". Chinese figure skaters Wang Shiyue and Liu Xinyu unveiled their new competition uniforms with "green mountains and green waters" as the element, which won widespread attention from the audience and the media. The creativity of their competition uniforms is based on Chinese landscape paintings, the male companion is the mountain, the female companion is the water, painted with classical Chinese patterns, taking the meaning of "green mountains and green water". After the game, the athletes also introduced to everyone that the costume creativity was taken from the ancient Chinese painting "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", hoping to show the world China's excellent traditional culture on the Olympic field.

Not only that, the torch of the Winter Olympics "flying", with the auspicious auspicious cloud pattern "base", the snowflake pattern is applied to the ancient folk art - paper-cutting. In addition, there are also tinder lamps inspired by the lights of the Changxin Palace in the Western Han Dynasty, and the creative inspiration of the supporting tinder table comes from the traditional Chinese bronze ceremonial vessel - "Zun".

On the Ice Pier: "Interesting and contemporary lifestyles are the most difficult to relate"
Nandu: The Altay region of Xinjiang is known as the "Origin of Human Skiing", what other ice and snow sports elements are there in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum?
Sultan: We found from Altay the local "sleighs", which are made of horsehair. In addition, ice skating in Beijing is also a traditional project in China, and the Forbidden City has a Qing Dynasty "Ice Painting", which tells people in the Qing Dynasty who wore ice knives (frolicking) in the court, as well as objects such as ice climbing plows that are related to daily life.
Nandu: How do you view the relationship between China and ice and snow culture?
Sudan: China's vast territory and complex climate are complex and changeable, and ice and snow sports are produced under severe cold environmental conditions.
Nandu: The Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum was inaugurated on February 5 after the opening of the Winter Olympics, what designs reflect the inheritance of the past and the present?
Sultan: We made a group of sculptures, the upper part of the sculpture is designed from the petroglyphs excavated in Xinjiang Altay, the middle is cut, the bottom is the figure of modern people skiing, the lake is the North Sea, and there is a gradient process as a whole.

Nandu: Many cultural creations are closely linked to traditional Chinese culture and continue to go out of the circle. Behind the explosion of the ice pier, how to view China's cultural creation?
Sudan: Ice piers are products created with contemporary industrial means, and making fun and contemporary lifestyles relevant is the most difficult point of intangible cultural heritage and arts and crafts innovation. Many people ask me, "Where is your cultural creation?" In the next step, our intangible cultural heritage museum will also launch its own cultural and creative products.
