Beijing News Express (Reporter Zhan Shengjie) On February 11, the opening ceremony of the "Meet in Beijing" Olympic Cultural Festival and the 22nd "Meet in Beijing" International Art Festival - Beijing Cultural Week, hosted by the Beijing Municipal People's Government and undertaken by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, was held at the Tianqiao Art Center. It is reported that the Beijing Cultural Week will last until February 15.
It is reported that the Beijing Cultural Week, with the theme of "Charming Beijing Rhymes and Going to Ice and Snow Together", organized theme evenings, interactive activities for intangible cultural heritage display, exhibitions of Pictures with Beijing characteristics, and more than 100 urban cultural square activities distributed in various districts of Beijing.
On the evening of February 11, the reporter came to the scene of the opening ceremony and saw the audience shuttling through the interactive exhibition area of intangible cultural heritage and the Beijing photo exhibition area of Beijing Cultural Week, which was very lively. The interactive exhibition area of intangible cultural heritage includes Beijing "clay man Zhang", movable type printing, woodblock New Year paintings and other intangible cultural heritage products. Among them, the snowflake-style "disc buckle" is exquisitely made, attracting the audience to stop and watch.
"Snowflakes are the representative image during the Winter Olympics, and there are also crystalline 'big snowflakes' at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics." Chinese often say 'Ruixue Mega Year', in fact, snowflakes also represent a kind of luck and blessing. Hu Ling, the fourth generation inheritor of the clasp making technique, told reporters that in order to welcome the arrival of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the team has begun to design snowflake-themed coiled buckle works two years ago.
"This snowflake-style disc buckle ornament, which seems to have many corners, is actually coiled down with a wire rod, using a hard bar and core filling process." Hu Ling explained that the clasp was separated from traditional clothing and became a decorative work of art. "It can be used as an ornament, as an earring, a hanging ornament, a brooch, etc., and it can also be used as a gift, which is more functional."
