Date: 6 - 23 June 2019
Time: 10 am - 6 pm (Monday to Sunday)
Venue: Exhibition Gallery of the Hong Kong Central Library (66 Causeway Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong)

Shandong is one of the cradles of Chinese civilisation. With a history that dates back to antiquity and a rich and solid cultural base, the region has nurtured in time a wealth of intangible cultural heritage (ICH). This exhibition in Hong Kong will showcase 37 representative ICH items from Shandong using text panels, photographs, video screenings and traditional handicraft exhibits in tandem with on-site demonstrations and performances by ICH bearers, and thematic talks. Visitors will be able to view in proximity various kinds of folk handicrafts, narrative singings and traditional performing arts of Shandong. While enjoying the unique charm of the Qilu Culture, they can also appreciate traditional Chinese culture in depth.
There will be extension activities to the exhibition on 22 and 23 June, with performances such as Liuzi opera and Shandong kuaishu, two items that were inscribed onto the First National ICH List in 2006, and Shandong folk songs, which was inscribed onto the First Provincial ICH List of Shandong, also in 2006. Other interesting and inspiring activities include live demonstrations of Dongchang gourd carving, the craft of pewter inlay of Weihai, and Chinese pistache sculpting of Qufu. The master crafters are all bearers of intangible cultural heritage of Shandong. Details of the programmes can be found in the exhibition pamphlet.
