Besides bamboo-knitting, Tongxiang, where Wuzhen is located, has been sparing no effort over the past five years to protect and transform ancient Chinese cultures in an innovative way.
The city, since 2016, has sponsored the launch of three intangible cultural heritage showrooms, including the traditional blue calico, silk products and bamboo-knitting artwork.
“We believe the internet will help traditional Chinese handicrafts, such as bamboo-knitting, take off and fly higher,” said Chu Hongbin, director of the center for protection of intangible cultural heritages in Tongxiang.
