Hundreds of ICH inheritors presented their crafts at the event, especially how they integrated traditional culture into modern life, showcasing the diversity of craftsmanship across nations.

The goal is to display the rich tapestry of global handicrafts in all their vibrant splendor, according to the organizers.

Dozens of meters further into the international exchange section, translucent white gauze hung from the ceiling from across the wall, creating a semi-open space that shelters an installation consisting of about 100 textiles woven by art students from China and France.

"Each country's students independently produced textile samples using diverse techniques — weaving, embroidering, dyeing — while following common guidelines," says Hu Xuemei, vice-dean of Chengdu Textile College's School of Textile Engineering.
