Encountering Intangible Cultural Heritage on High Speed Rail

2024-10-04

On October 1st, the G1634 train from Pingtan, Fujian to Hongqiao, Shanghai was dressed up. Entering the carriage, cards with words of blessing for the motherland can be seen everywhere on the car window. The aroma of tea and laughter echoed in carriage 9, and the temporary "Intangible Cultural Heritage Corner" was very lively. Passengers gathered together to experience the charm of intangible cultural heritage. Zhang Zijian, the representative inheritor of the jasmine tea fermentation process in Fuzhou, brought tools such as enamel, bamboo sieve, and dustpan onto the train and explained the traditional production process of Fuzhou jasmine tea while making tea on site. Jasmine tea is brewed using roasted green tea, which involves layering layers of flowers and tea together, thoroughly mixing and aerating to keep the flowers lively and allowing the tea to absorb fresh floral aromas Zhang Zijian introduced to the passengers on the train that the fermentation of Fuzhou jasmine tea requires more than 60 days and 201 processes, and the infiltration of time ensures the quality of the tea. After speaking, Zhang Zijian poured hot water into the tea bowl, causing the tea leaves to roll and the fragrance of jasmine to fill the air. The entire carriage seemed like a garden in spring. What a rich jasmine fragrance The passengers inside the carriage exclaimed in astonishment. Wu Qing, a passenger returning from Fuzhou to Shanghai, is seeking advice from a tea artist on how to make tea. He said that he brought two boxes of jasmine tea to his family this time to learn professional techniques and plan to show off when he goes back. Fuzhou, with a long history, is the birthplace of jasmine tea. In September of this year, 84 representative intangible cultural heritage projects recognized by local residents and with distinct regional characteristics, including the jasmine tea fermentation process in Fuzhou, were selected as the first batch of recommended provincial intangible cultural heritage and tourism integrated development catalogs in Fujian Province. With continuous inheritance and innovation, Fuzhou jasmine tea is increasingly recognized by young people. This is my first time promoting intangible cultural heritage on the high-speed train, and I hope to follow in the footsteps of the train and let the fragrance of Fuzhou jasmine tea drift even further Zhang Zijian said. The other corner of the carriage has also attracted the attention of many passengers. Train attendant Gao Xue painted on the surface of the oil paper umbrella, with lifelike flowers blooming under the brush, beautiful and magnificent. Oil paper umbrella is one of the three treasures of Fuzhou, with a history of over a thousand years, and is a provincial-level intangible cultural heritage in Fujian. The older generation called it the 'bundle umbrella', which means the umbrella in the bundle they carry when going out. Nowadays, many people like to hold an oil paper umbrella when taking photos at scenic spots Gao Xue sketched while introducing. The reporter noticed that there were colorful and patterned oil paper umbrellas next to her, and passengers could try to draw their own "customized" umbrellas during the journey. Passenger Li Yueqin painted patterns such as the Red Flag and Beijing Tiananmen Square on an oil paper umbrella, saying, "Using intangible cultural heritage on the high-speed rail to express our love for our country has a unique flavor." Li Yueqin was overjoyed. Peng Ye, the train conductor of Fuzhou Passenger Transport Section of China Railway Nanchang Group Co., Ltd., introduced that setting up an "Intangible Cultural Heritage Corner" on high-speed rail is an attempt by the railway to promote "high-speed rail+tourism" and "high-speed rail+intangible cultural heritage". We want passengers to feel that high-speed trains are not just a means of transportation, but can also be a cultural corridor that spans ancient and modern times, connecting the soul, "said Peng Ye. During this year's National Day holiday, China Railway Nanchang Group Co., Ltd. is expected to send 12.8 million passengers. With the mobility of high-speed railway, the railway department has set up intangible cultural heritage display platforms such as Paper Cuttings, embroidery, lacquer fans in some stations and trains. I hope that travelers can gain a sense of beauty during their journey, and the mobile 'intangible cultural heritage classroom' can also bring new vitality and shine to cultural heritage, "said Peng Ye.
