In recent years, Taoyuan County in Changde City has fully utilized local cultural resources to conduct intangible cultural heritage-themed activities in schools on a regular basis. A local intangible cultural heritage project—Taoyuan embroidery techniques—has been introduced into classrooms. Additionally, representative inheritors of intangible cultural heritage items are regularly invited to schools to give traditional culture lessons. These initiatives provide students with a close-up experience of the charm of intangible cultural heritage, ensuring that traditional culture is preserved and transmitted across generations.
