“More and more young people are getting interested in intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产),” said Zhang Dingjuan. The 28-year-old lady often shares her bamboo weaving (编织) works online.
Zhang comes from Sichuan province. In the past, bamboo weaving in the area was mainly for making tools. Now, it becomes a beautiful art form.
After college, Zhang went back to her hometown to work as a bamboo crafts designer. Zhang loves trying new ideas in her work. In this way, she adds a modern feel to traditional bamboo weaving works.

Today, Zhang works with many designers to make different bamboo-woven things. She once made a beautiful bamboo fan with panda designs for a company. The fan, using different colors, mixed a traditional look with a modern feel.

Do you know Liu Wenhui As one of Forbes China’s top 100 outstanding craftsmen of 2024, he is turning ancient Chinese buildings into toys.
Born in Shanxi, China, Liu loved visiting ancient temples and pagodas (寺庙和佛塔) near his hometown as a child. These buildings used a special woodworking skill called the mortise-and-tenon joint structure (榫卯结构). This skill has a history of over 7, 000 years. It puts pieces together without nails (钉子) or glue. Liu thought the traditional structures were creative and amazing. He wanted people to touch and play with them, not just to look at them in museums.
When he grew up, Liu came up with the idea of making mortise-and-tenon building blocks (积木). He started reading books and visiting ancient buildings to learn more. He tried to make small models of mortise-and-tenon structures using the same woodworking skill. But that was not easy. The small parts needed to fit perfectly to stay balanced. Liu tried many times and also learned from village craftsmen.
In 2013, Liu finally created his first sets of building blocks. They sold out quickly online. Later, he opened his own workshop and used plastic (塑料) for some parts to lower costs. His cheapest set costs about 100 yuan, so more kids can afford to play with them. “This craft is part of Chinese culture. I’m glad to help keep it alive,” Liu says. He hopes his toys will help share China’s ancient wisdom (智慧) with the world.
27. Why did Liu decide to make mortise-and-tenon building blocks
A. To show his woodworking skills.
B. To make much money by selling toys.
C. To help people learn more about Chinese history.
D. To give people hands-on experience with the craft.
28. Which question does the 3rd paragraph mainly answer
A. How did Liu learn to make the blocks
B. When did Liu finish his first works

D. Liu hopes to spread Chinese culture through his toys.
