Many people in China may not realize that throughout the centuries-long inheritance of cloisonné, each of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties brought distinct developments and characteristics. Each emperor's recognition of this art is embedded with its own unique stories and plots. Today, the survival of this ancient craft is the result of the untiring efforts of its inheritors.

I deeply admire Master Li. She broke a record that had stood for over a hundred years—from 1907 to 2012—in this field in China. Only true craftspeople understand the profound weight of bringing this art back to the world stage during that century. In the present day, while traditional heritage must evolve with the times, it is equally crucial to uphold its essence and remain true to its origins. The bearers of tradition shoulder the dual responsibilities of their era and their culture. I hope that through our own modest efforts, we can contribute to spreading Chinese culture.

Season 2 of Dongcheng Cultural Tourism’s Intangible Heritage Filming is Here — Gao Dongsheng’s Beijing-style Inside-painted S***f Bottle Studio.

The history of inside-painted s***f bottles originates from a heartwarming story. Legend has it that a man who had run out of money sought temporary shelter in a temple. While scraping s***f with a small bamboo stick, he accidentally “scratched” out beautiful patterns, which caught the attention of a monk in the temple. Thus, this craft was born. One can’t help but marvel at how art and inspiration in life are always prepared for those who are ready.

As the fourth-generation inheritor of the Beijing-style tradition, Mr. Gao exudes a charming and composed aura, giving off an enviable sense of calm confidence. From our conversation, I learned that he has been dedicated to this craft for over 40 years. When mentioning his two outstanding apprentices, a smile appeared on his face — indeed, heritage is truly important, and it is precisely through such inheritance that our cultural endeavors can continue. I sincerely wish Mr. Gao great success in nurturing talents and spreading his art. Let’s all cheer for this remarkable skill together.

I hope that through our humble efforts, we can contribute to the dissemination of Chinese culture. The words in the *Hengqu Four Sentences* never fail to ignite my passion. On a practical note, we can strive to “carry forward the lost knowledge of past sages.” Let’s work together! 💪
