Exploring China’s Living Heritage
“Inheritors” is a regular 30-minute programme that studies China’s intangible cultural heritage from a non-Chinese perspective. Viewers are taken on a fascinating and informative journey of exploration to investigate and learn about the country’s rich and diverse cultural traditions.
Each episode of “Inheritors” focuses on one particular element of China’s intangible cultural heritage, ranging from art and music to traditional handicrafts. Guided by a foreign host, viewers embark on a tour of some of the most iconic cultural sites in the country, where they are introduced to the local artisans and craftsmen who are keeping the ancient skills and traditions alive. Through the stories of these masters, the show offers a deeper understanding of the cultural values that have shaped Chinese society over the centuries.
