六、阅读理解
To protect traditional culture, many schools in China have started inviting inheritors (继承人) of intangible cultural heritage (ICH, 非物质文化遗产) to teach students. These activities aim to help young people understand ICH's value and interest them in learning traditional skills.
At Guanghui Middle School, students recently experienced an "ICH Day". They tried paper-cutting, made clay sculptures, and watched a shadow puppetry show. Ms Li, a paper-cutting artist, taught students to create paper-cuts like flowers and animals. "It's hard, but fun!" said 14-year-old Zhang Wei. The school also set up an ICH club for further exploration.
Teachers say such activities not only enrich school life but also build cultural confidence. Many students feel proud of China's rich heritage. "I finally understand why my grandma loves traditional crafts," said student Li Mei. The school plans to organize regular ICH workshops and invite more masters next term.
