Innovation and Application of Intangible Cultural Heritage Crafts

What is Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)?

• ICH refers to traditions, rituals, and practices that shape community identity, connecting past generations with the present.
• Unlike physical monuments or artifacts, it is transmitted through generations, constantly recreated in response to the environment, and provides a sense of continuity and belonging.

Shenzhen Stechcol Ceramic Crafts Co., LTD

Stechol Ceramic Crafts is an example of ICH, they make porcelain crafts like mugs, plates, vases, etc.

The company uses traditional ceramic-making techniques that are integral to local culture, which is why it is an example of ICH.

Chinese History of Hakka

The Hakka was a group of people originating from the North, they migrated from middle China (somewhere like Jiangxi) to southern China (like Shenzhen or Hong Kong) much later than other southern Han Chinese populations like the Puntis.

History of Hakka Heritage

• Hakka Cuisine

Hakka cuisine is known for its flavorful dishes, a traditional cooking technique is braising. Braising is a cooking method that uses both searing and simmering to transform tough ingredients, typically inexpensive cuts of meat and vegetables into flavorful meals. Examples include Hakka braised goose or Hakka braised pork belly.

• Hakka Festivals

Hakka festivals include Lunar New Year, Hakka Yimin Festival, Hakka Earth Building Festival, etc.

• Hakka Architecture

The Hakka lived in large fortress-like buildings. They settled in minor or hillside areas which did not have a pleasant environment like land on hills avoided by other Han Chinese groups. Tulou are large, circular or square structures that are made from rammed dirt and often feature thick walls for defense.

They typically house many families over several floors, reflecting the society of Hakka.

Geography (Conservation and Revitalization)

In the trip to Gankeng Ancient Town, we have seen many buildings with original and conserved Hakka architecture.

• Conservation

This involves using traditional materials and techniques to preserve the authenticity of the buildings.

• Revitalization

Upgrading infrastructure while keeping the historical context in mind helps improve accessibility, making the town more appealing to visitors while ensuring the preservation of its character.

Conclusion & Reflection

How Hakka culture is conserved and revitalised in modern culture is that modern shops and restaurants are blended into the old architecture of the town, giving it a both modern and ancient look while still fitting into the style of the Gankeng Ancient Town.( George)

It both preserves the ancient culture of the Gankeng Ancient Town and lives up to the modern standards of the world.(Edward)

Each Group Members Reflection

This Shenzhen study trip made me realise China's fast innovation and urban development.

Engaging with local spots like Gankeng Ancient Town conserved the original structure and revitalised with modern shops and musuems.

And I actually am satisfied with trip since it was well organised.

-Jaden

In this trip we visited museums and factories.

We also ate some good food and learn about the hakka.

We saw some beautiful paintings.

We stuck some stickers on the mug at Stechol with water.

Shenzhen proves that with hard work and imagination, anything is possible.

It’s not just a place—it’s a great thing to create our own future.

-Hinson

​

The Hakka spirit is resilience in motion. Their story isn't of a place, but of the journey itself—carrying home in language, community, and fortresses of earth. In a world of constant change, their legacy is a powerful lesson: identity isn't just where you're from, but what you build and preserve, everywhere you go.

-Edward

Each Group Members Reflection

Hakka culture does not interest me. I found the trip oddly boring. I only found a few things in total interesting in the whole trip, like the Hakka cuisine. Even if I found this trip boring, I still would take the opportunity to go on other study tours because I believe that not all trips are unentertaining.
