@craftheritage: Dongba paper is an ancient handmade paper craft exclusive to the Naxi ethnic group and precious intangible cultural heritage of China. Made from wild genkwa bark following primitive papermaking techniques, it boasts outstanding durability and natural anti-insect property. The whole production relies purely on manual work and natural materials. Repeated soaking, boiling, pounding and moulding endow the paper with fine texture and strong flexibility. It can preserve texts and paintings intact for centuries, acting as reliable cultural carrier. Local natural mineral pigments are adopted for painting, matched with gold foil ornamentation to create gorgeous mineral artworks. Dongba paper bears the history, faith and folk wisdom of Naxi people. It perfectly retains the primitive charm of ancient papermaking and carries the diverse and splendid ethnic culture of southwest China. #handwork #ancientchina #handmade #countrylife #craft #crafttok #fyp #intangibleculturalheritage
