"Compared with wax carving, painting with spray paint cans is not easy for me. But I did it! It's really fun to paint such huge patterns on the aperture of bridge, my very first time to do so. I feel it really cool and enjoyable," Yang said.

The event has proven that the old can go in hand with the new, that the tradition and modernity can find harmony between one another. For Danzhai, a county with seven national intangible cultural heritages, such an artistic cross fertilization may bring new trains of thought on protection and development of intangible cultural heritages.
