Abstract

China is a big agricultural country. Men's farming and women's weaving are the main forms of traditional life. Textile and handicraft skills are also important skills for Chinese people to self-sufficiency in food and clothing. With the advent of industrialized production, modern and fast-paced working life has changed people's aesthetic and living habits. Traditional textile and handicraft skills have been far away from life or even forgotten, and many crafts have also died out with the death of artists. Since China's accession to the UN Convention on the Intangible Cultural Heritage, China has 40 intangible cultural heritages, including traditional handicraft techniques of printing, dyeing, weaving and embroidery, which have been endowed with fresh vitality by the times.
