Song brocade, one of China’s four great traditional silks, originated in the Song Dynasty. Renowned for its “delicate elegance and refined patterns,” it is hailed as the “crown of brocades,” embodying millennia of weaving wisdom and cultural heritage. In 2009, Song brocade was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, making the revival of its traditional techniques and their integration with contemporary innovation a key issue in cultural preservation.

Cultural and Natural Heritage Day falls on the second Saturday of June each year. In 2025, the theme of the event is “Revitalizing Cultural Relics and Unveiling New Brilliance.” Established to raise public awareness of the importance of cultural heritage preservation, this day aims to mobilize the entire society to participate in, pay attention to, and protect our cultural heritage.

Intangible Cultural Heritage

On the occasion of this significant festival, our museum has organized a handcrafted Song brocade–inspired refrigerator‑magnet‑making workshop, centered on the theme “Revitalizing Intangible Cultural Heritage through Artisanal Craftsmanship.” By integrating time‑honored techniques into everyday life, we invite participants to experience the warmth of intangible cultural heritage at their fingertips and to appreciate the harmonious beauty of tradition and modernity.
