cultural heritage

Cultural heritage is the wealth left by history to mankind, which can be divided into material cultural heritage (tangible cultural heritage) and intangible cultural heritage (intangible cultural heritage) from the form of existence. Material cultural heritage is a cultural relic with historical, artistic and scientific value, while intangible cultural heritage refers to various traditional cultures that exist in intangible forms, are closely related to people's lives and are passed down from generation to generation.

Since 2006, the second Saturday in June has been China Heritage Day. Intangible cultural heritage, also called intangible cultural heritage, mainly refers to the oral or behavioral inheritance of human beings. With national historical accumulation and extensive and excellent representative folk cultural heritage, it was once known as the "living fossil" of history and culture and "the back of national memory".
