Ten Mile Red Makeup is an ancient traditional folk custom, this kind of wedding scene. When the dowry is issued, the large pieces of furniture are carried by two people, the complete set of red foot barrels is picked by two heads and one person, and small wooden utensils such as buckets and fruit barrels and small things such as porcelain bottles and cans are carried by two people in the red carrying box. A burden and a bar are painted with gold, and the light is overflowing. Bed, table, utensils, cages, bedding are readily available, and daily needs are all-encompassing. The red makeup team that meanders through the number often extends from the woman's home to the husband's family, and it is vast, as if it is a golden dragon dressed in red robes, full of auspicious and festive, showing off the wealth of the family property, so it is called "ten miles of red makeup".

Ninghai Museum of Oriental Art (Ningbo Illuminated Lacquer Intangible Cultural Heritage Project Experience)

Illuminated lacquer, one of the "three golds" of Ningbo's traditional craft, is a lacquerware process with the combination of gold craftsmanship and paint craftsmanship as the main feature. At the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties, it reached its peak and was recorded in the "Zhejiang Tongzhi". At present, only Ninghai, a county under the jurisdiction of Ningbo City, still retains this traditional handicraft, and in June 2011, the lacquer was included in the third batch of national intangible cultural heritage list.

The illuminated paint is mainly made of Chinese raw lacquer and gold leaf as raw materials, and is divided into three production methods: "piling mud (piling plastic)", "asphalt powder" and "illuminated paint". Piling mud is the most unique process method of illuminated paint, which is to do "addition" on the plane - manual stacking. Artists use raw lacquer, tile ash or oyster ash to make lacquer clay in a certain proportion, and pile landscapes, flowers, birds, figures, pavilions and other decorations on the wooden tire paint embryo, and then paste gold and color on the pile. The procedures for this work are complex and have many essentials. The handicrafts made of it are elegant and simple, brilliant and colorful, inheriting the legacy of han and Tang carving art.

The Ninghai Museum of Oriental Art covers an area of 23,000 square meters and combines modern and traditional architectural styles. The park is divided into ten functional blocks, including Ninghai Oriental Art Museum, illuminated paint, clear knife wood carving, Shili red makeup appliance (hoop barrel) process flow demonstration area, Ninghai Intangible Cultural And Creative Design Area, and Ninghai Intangible Cultural Heritage Products Production Area. It has opened a new chapter in the inheritance of Ninghai's intangible cultural heritage such as "mud and gold paint", "clear knife wood carving" and "ten miles of red makeup".

Former Tong Ancient Town

Qiantong Ancient Town, located 14 kilometers southwest of Ninghai County, is one of the most ancient Towns of Confucian culture preserved in eastern Zhejiang. The local Tong clan has been diligent and studious since settling here during the Southern Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Tong Boli twice invited Fang Xiaoru to give lectures at the Shijing Jingshe, and together laid the foundation for the famous poets of poetry. Since then, following the virtues of diverting water to plant trees to optimize the environment, cultivating and reading Dunmu, and training future generations, successive generations of talents have emerged, forming an ancient cultural style of small bridges flowing throughout the courtyards and ancient courtyards in Egg Lane. In addition, it is also the hometown of Tong Baohuo, the commander-in-chief of the Xinhai Revolution in Zhejiang, and the base area of the Taishu Revolution.

Qiantong Ancient Village, an extraordinary original version of a house from the Ming and Qing dynasties in Jiangnan, is a rural painting with strong ancient rhymes and a beautiful Jiangnan silk bamboo tone. Originally built at the end of the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are still more than 1300 ancient houses of various kinds preserved. Here, "every house has carved beams, and every household has living water." Bagua water system, singing, sneaking, flowing through every household, not a water town, better than a water town.

Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, after the eleventh day of the first lunar month, the streets and alleys of Qiantong will be lively, and the fields of neighboring villages such as Zhaxia and Xiaye will gather from all directions, and the sound of gongs and drums will resound through the clouds and spread throughout the mountains and fields. This is the former tongren in honor of their ancestor Tong Hao, commonly known as "Hao Gong Laoye". On the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the first month, the commemoration activities entered a climax, and people from the neighboring villages brought new friends and brought a tide. The Lantern Festival commemoration of Hao Gong has also been passed down to this day.
