Recently, Zhao Wei, the inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage, and his apprentices carefully created a pair of Winter Olympic-themed gourds entitled "Cheers for the Beijing Winter Olympics". On this pair of gourds, Chinese Winter Olympic athletes are heroic and brave, and they are fighting hard. The combination of intangible cultural heritage skills and Winter Olympic elements not only conveys the Olympic spirit, but also allows traditional culture to be inherited and carried forward.
The gourd harmonic is "Fluke", which is widely loved by the world because of its auspicious meaning. Zhao Wei said that combining intangible cultural heritage with the Winter Olympics hopes to let the world understand China and Chinese culture through the skills of intangible cultural heritage, so that China's intangible cultural heritage can go to the world.
