What intangible cultural heritages are about to disappear?

China is rich in intangible cultural heritage, some of which are gradually disappearing or have disappeared. The following are some examples of intangible cultural heritage that is about to disappear or has disappeared:

1. Lacquer making skills: Lacquer is a traditional handicraft, but the making skills are gradually lost. At present, only a few craftsmen can make high-quality lacquerware.

2. Traditional dwellings: Many traditional dwellings are being replaced by modern buildings, and their architectural styles and characteristics are gradually disappearing.

3. Handicraft skills: Many handcraft skills, such as embroidery, paper-cutting and pottery making, are gradually being lost. These skills need long-term training and practice, but due to the modern lifestyle, the younger generation is no longer interested in learning these skills.

4. Folk music: Many traditional folk music, such as rap and playing, are gradually being replaced by fast-paced pop music. These music also need a long time to pass on and practice, but the younger generation is not as interested in them as before.

5. Dialects and languages: With the development of globalization, many local dialects and languages are gradually disappearing. These dialects and languages are an important part of China culture, but due to the modern lifestyle and education system, many people no longer use or inherit these languages.

The above are some examples of intangible cultural heritage that is about to disappear or has disappeared. Due to various reasons, these heritages are gradually losing protection and inheritance, so it is necessary to take measures to protect and inherit these precious cultural heritages.
