Recently, Dong Ni and her Chinese friend Li Yun "checked in" Beijing Hongqiao Market to experience the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.

Exquisite carved lacquer cloisonné, lifelike hand embroidery, realistic facial makeup...all kinds of ingenious handicrafts Let the two be amazed.
"It was really an eye-opener, and it was a worthwhile trip." Dong Ni kept taking pictures with her mobile phone along the way. She said that this was the first time she had experienced and understood Chinese intangible cultural heritage so closely.
During the period, Dong Ni and Li Yun also personally experienced the production of "inner-painted snuff bottles" under the guidance of the inheritors of intangible cultural heritage.
It is understood that the inside-painted snuff bottle originated in the Qing Dynasty and was listed in the second batch of national intangible cultural heritage list in 2008.
It uses a special hook-shaped brush or hook-shaped bamboo brush to dip in the paint of traditional Chinese painting, and inserts the paintbrush from the mouth of the pot with an inner diameter of even less than a centimeter, and draws patterns on the bottle wall, so it is called "uncanny craftsmanship".
"It's a very magical experience to outline the world in a square inch!" Dong Ni said that she felt sincere admiration for the exquisite inner painting pot skills and the ingenuity of the inheritors. She hopes to introduce this intangible cultural heritage art to more friends around her in the future .
Nowadays, with the internationalization of Chinese universities and the promotion of Chinese language, more and more foreign youth choose to study in China.
