Morning Post News (reporter Zhang Suping) Quanzhou Nanyin, Quanzhou Li Yaobao carved paper has been selected into the world's "non-heritage" list, but little known is that the Quanzhou Museum initiated the election of the Southern Fujian residential construction skills are also included in the world's "non-heritage"!

Reporters learned yesterday that from August 19 to 20, China was selected as the UNESCO "intangible cultural heritage of mankind" project certification ceremony and Protection Forum was held in Beijing. Chinese traditional wooden structure construction techniques are listed in the "non-legacy" list of the world, and southern Fujian residential construction techniques, as one of its three major skills, are also included.

Yao Hongfeng, renovator of the International Ancient Architecture of Quanzhou Cultural Relics Conservation Research Center, said that the traditional Chinese wooden structure construction technology is "bundled" together with the construction technology of three provinces in China and jointly declared. Fujian Province is one of them, and Quanzhou is the only city in Fujian Province to participate in the merger.

In fact, the declaration work started as early as 2008. "We take Yang'a Miao Residence as a representative building, and have produced relevant text, pictures and video materials to introduce the building techniques of Minnan Residence." Chen Jianzhong, curator of Quanzhou Museum, said that the building skills of folk houses in southern Fujian originated from Quanzhou, and the staff took Yang A Miao's building skills as a model to "elaborate" the skills. This skill is a sub-item of "Chinese traditional wooden structure construction skill". Perhaps it caused this skill to be selected into the world "non-legacy", but for a long time "raised in the boudoir people do not know".
