Intangible Cultural Heritage
With the love of his hometown in Gansu, Mao Zedong exquisitely crafted every “Yong Chang” carpet showcasing exceptional skills.
Carpet makers, by taking the advantage of the abundant natural resources surrounding the place, start the production using wool harvested from sheep native to Tibetan Plateau, natural dyes, and weave into carpets traditional motifs of Chinese plums, orchids, bamboo or daisies. Each carpet involves tens of complicated production processes, and each process is dealt with great care by a specialized team; Yong Chang has developed “100 ways” of creating luxurious wool carpets over the years. The carpets are decent, elegant and satiny, while functional and durable with their warmth-keeping and anti-mould properties.
Yong Chang’s traditional carpet-making skill now listed as China’s cultural intangible heritage in 2016, which turns the item from a household carpet into a collectible worth investing in.
