Ghanaian and Cuban Delegates Visit World Intangible Cultural Heritage Tea Whisking Workshop, Demonstration Site of Ambassador Reception Hall Tongzhou Service Center in Beijing, Opening a New Chapter for International Inheritance of Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage

To deepen people-to-people exchanges between China and foreign countries, broaden international communication channels for fine traditional Chinese culture, boost innovative development of intangible cultural heritage (ICH), and elevate foreign cooperation of local cultural tourism, the Ghanaian and Cuban international visiting delegation paid a visit to the World Intangible Cultural Heritage Tea Whisking Workshop, the Tongzhou Service Center of Ambassador Reception Hall in Beijing from June 12 to 13 for cross-border ICH study tours and exchanges featuring mutual learning among civilizations. This event was comprehensively planned, specially invited and fully organized by Ms. Liu Shuang, Deputy Secretary-General of UNESCO World Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection and Development Center and Ambassador for Global Communication of World Intangible Cultural Heritage.

On the evening of June 12, the delegation checked into the camp and experienced distinctive starry sky tent accommodation in an immersive way. They inspected innovative achievements of integrated rural cultural tourism development in Tongzhou District and learned new international development models for rural cultural tourism. Accompanied throughout the visit by Ms. Liu Shuang and Ms. Ma Miao, founder of Mabajia Paradise, foreign guests inspected the camp’s cultural tourism layout, ICH experience areas and supporting facilities for international exchanges.

June 13 marked the core ICH study session. Delegates gathered at the World Intangible Cultural Heritage Tea Whisking Workshop to experience age-old craftsmanship including ancient tea powder preparation and Song-dynasty tea whisking. As founder of the workshop, Ms. Liu Shuang elaborated on the historical origins and evolution of Song Dynasty tea culture, and professionally interpreted the Seven-Step Tea Whisking Method from Treatise on Tea as well as the orthodox techniques of handmade ancient tea powder production.

During hands-on practice, foreign guests deeply appreciated the elegant charm of Song-dynasty tea whisking, the millennia-old Chinese ICH craft. They highly acknowledged the profound heritage and craftsman spirit of Chinese ICH culture, and many voluntarily applied to learn orthodox Song-style tea whisking under formal apprenticeship. At the event site, Ambassador Liu Shuang formally accepted six international guests as her disciples: David Wilson, Richard Smith, Patricia, Rosangela and Lazara Yailin. This realized cross-border apprenticeship inheritance of Song-dynasty tea whisking techniques and consolidated talent reserves for overseas promotion of Chinese intangible cultural heritage.

It is reported that the World Intangible Cultural Heritage Tea Whisking Workshop will regularly launch apprenticeship training courses and special international study programs open to global learners, with Ambassador Liu Shuang personally teaching authentic ancient techniques to advance international inheritance of ICH via standardized teaching systems. This cross-cultural exchange has effectively promoted mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations and greatly lifted the international reputation of Tongzhou’s ICH and cultural tourism brand. Moving forward, the workshop will keep focusing on international people-to-people exchanges, regularly host overseas study tours, ICH performances and international apprenticeship inheritance activities, vividly tell stories of Chinese intangible heritage, and help excellent traditional Chinese culture go global.
