But it doesn't matter because I will still have an innocent childlike heart and still like clay toys.]]> 2023-07-04 06:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637756387 1771910394 https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637784535 My hometown Kaifeng is a quiet ancient city, once the capital of the Song Dynasty, with a lot of cultural heritage. With the process of urbanization, I think there will be more and more high-rise buildings, super mall and high-tech facilities in my hometown, where you can feel the combination of tradition and modernity.]]> 2023-07-04 06:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637784535 1771910394 https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637799212 People in our hometown are very leisurely and live a slow-paced life. But I think in the future they may become  more anxious, just like people in Beijing and Shanghai now. 

Young people may prefer artistic, fashionable, and recreational activities, while older people may prefer to play chess and tai chi.]]> 2023-07-04 07:10:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637799212 1771910394 https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637818000 I would bring a Nigugu(泥咕咕 in Chinese ), a clay toy that is a traditional handicraft in Henan Province, China. I chose it because I like its interesting styling and color, reflecting the aesthetics of the people of China's Central Plains.

I have a few of them  on my desk in Beijing. Seeing them is like seeing home because they come from my hometown. In the future, I will also collect more Nigugu and put them as decorations at home. I will also share this kind of folk art with people around me through introducing it at a cultural event, giving it as a gift, or selling it at a creative fair.]]> 2023-07-04 07:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637818000 1771910394 https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637838682 Many people in their  village knew this craft, so he learned to make this kind of clay toys from an early age.

Now, Nigugu has entered the list of China's national intangible cultural heritage masterpieces, which gives him great confidence, because he thinks that the artistic value and cultural value of Nigugu have been seen.

Now, he not only makes this clay toy in the traditional way, but also innovates on the basis of inheritance, such as designing new shapes or using clay sculpture elements to design cultural and creative products. At the same time, he opened a mud cuckoo museum, which is free to visit, and local schools always organize students to come here to learn about traditional culture.

Regarding the dilemma of this traditional handicraft, he pointed out that they are not entirely clear about the needs of consumers. Besides, the innovation of this craft is also a difficult problem because how to find the connection between tradition and contemporary is very difficult.（risks）]]> 2023-07-04 08:07:55 UTC https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2637838682 1771910394 https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2643365313 -First of all, we must fully investigate the information of this handicraft, such as its various shapes, colors, uses, symbolism, etc., which is a kind of salvage protection, and only when this information is clear can we promote its inheritance and promote its creative transformation. 

-Publicize them and expand the market, because if there is no demand there will be no production, and there will be no inheritance and vitality.

-Bringing this traditional craft to school, promoting collaboration between craft museums and schools so that children in this community can learn about and love their traditional craft.]]> 2023-07-12 06:41:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2643365313 1771910394 https://padlet.com/1771910394/khrs4hasjrr6r56j/wish/2643474937 My ICH Nigugu(泥咕咕) is related to SDG1 because as a traditional handicraft and clay toy, it has always existed in the market. It has economic value and is able to generate income for artisans.

Besides, it  is related to SDG9. Because many craftsmen bring it to the creative market, so it enters the cultural and creative industries. In addition to this, many of its elements are borrowed from contemporary art and design, providing innovative resources.
