For anyone familiar with the situation on the ground, the answer is clear: folk artists, traditional opera singers and anyone else who still practices an "intangible cultural heritage".

The issue has attracted high-level attention. Wang Wenzhang, a CPPCC member and the director of the China Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Centre, has called for legal protection for artists and the fast-disappearing arts they have mastered.
