古韵新风、潮游岭南！佛山祖庙庙会盛大开锣

After a three-year hiatus, the Foshan Ancestral Temple Fair (also known as the "March 3 North God Festival") was celebrated again on April 22. Under the theme of “Beautiful Lingnan, Wonderful Intangible Cultural Heritage”, the event was held to carry forward the Lingnan intangible cultural heritage with rich and diverse folk activities. Here, people can relish the grand North God parade, famous calligraphy and painting collection, intangible cultural heritage exhibition, mouth-watering food, and other exciting activities.

The highlight of the event was the intangible cultural heritage exhibition. Here, visitors can appreciate some national and provincial-level unique Foshan intangible cultural heritage,including Caizha (colorful silk handicraft), paper-cutting, New Year paintings, lanterns, Shiwan pottery, Foshan Qiuse (a folk activity), rattan works, Yubingshao wine, and other exquisite crafts. Apart from admiring brilliant handiwork, visitors can also learn how to make them and bring home their favorites! #artandculture
