For Sonang Tashi, it's very exciting to be able to pass on an old craft that he has learned since he was a little boy. And at the same time, he is helping young people find a livelihood.

Sonang Tashi, a 54-year-old resident of Qumalai county in Northwest China's Qinghai province, says his family has been devoted to making traditional Tibetan ornaments for generations.

While the craft was only passed on strictly within the family, Sonang Tashi has adapted his idea with time, especially when many old crafts are threatened by modern technology.
