This weekend, the "2021 Shanghai Great World Fourth Yangtze River Delta Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival" will kick off, and the "2021 Yangtze River Delta Sculpture Master Exhibition" has started in advance. </h5>

The reporter learned that as part of this year's Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival, the exhibition of carving masters' works has taken the lead in the intangible cultural heritage exhibition hall on the third floor of the great world and will continue to be exhibited for one month.
The exhibition includes the practice and exploration of traditional handicrafts by the intangible cultural heritage protection units in the four places, and also records the current situation and fruitful results of the creation of Chinese non-genetic inheritors in recent years. The exhibits involve more than 70 works such as Shanghai micro-carving micro-carving, Haipai jade carving, Zhejiang chicken blood stone carving, Jiangsu East Sea crystal carving, Anhui Huizhou three carvings, etc., through the form of joint exhibition in the Yangtze River Delta region, hand in hand with the works of non-hereditary inheritors of the four places, showing the aesthetic appearance of traditional Chinese carving art in the Yangtze River Delta region.
Since the opening of the port, Shanghai, as a "trade dock", has become a natural platform for the intersection, exchange and integration of various cultures and civilizations. Frequent entry and exit of merchant ships not only brought rich materials, but also brought the unique culture of the east, west, south and north, so the "trade dock" was derived into a "cultural dock". Shanghai's intangible cultural heritage is gradually developed based on such a social environment. Taking the Shanghai exhibition area in this exhibition as an example, the exhibits on display include micro-carving, stone carving, Haipai jade carving, Qingtian stone carving, etc.

Different regional cultures coexist and reflect each other, giving birth to intangible cultural heritage with distinct characteristics and colorful colors. Jiangsu is born and prospers from water, and many exhibits in the Jiangsu exhibition area closely connect carving with "water culture".
