Paper Crafting Technique.
Paper crafting as Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) involves traditional skills to create ceremonial objects, art, and daily items, seen in UNESCO-recognized crafts like Xuan paper making (China) and Japanese gold leaf (kinpaku), and in Hong Kong's folk paper crafts (lanterns, fa pau). These techniques use natural materials (bamboo, mulberry, rice straw) and complex steps (steeping, beating, mounting, painting) to preserve cultural identity, spiritual practices, and artistic expression, though facing challenges from modernization.
