In 2013, Tibet has made a great achievement in the protection of intangible cultural heritage (ICH).
According to Ngawang Tenzin, curator of the People’s Art Museum of the Tibet Autonomous Region, another 101 regional-level ICH items have been approved, totaling 323.
Tibet's ICH items are focused on traditional customs, handicrafts and festivals, and the new 101 additions include well-known traditional dances, music, plays, martial arts, folk literature, Tibetan medicine, quyi (folk art forms including ballad singing, story telling, comic dialogues, cross talks, etc.), fine arts and customs represented by Thangka, murals, eagle flute playing, the Bathing Festival and pottery making, said Ngawang Tenzin.
The rankings in the number of the ICHs of different locations in Tibet are Lhasa, Shigatze, Lhoka, Chamdo, Ningchi, Nagqu and Ngari.
Established in 2011, the Tibet Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center is responsible for surveying, applying, studying and exhibiting Tibet's ICHs. In the meanwhile, it also trains inheritors to increase their awareness of the importance of the ICH protection, according to Ngawang Tenzin.
