Music and Love China Chapter ICH Creative Awards Ceremony

On April 4th, the Music and Love hosted a vibrant Awards Ceremony for the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Creative Competition, weaving together tradition and international friendship at WanDa Plaza. The day began with an immersive workshop led by Ms. Dong Yan, a master of Paper-Cutting, where children meticulously hand-crafted intricate paper models of Shenyang’s iconic cultural landmarks. This creative energy transitioned into a series of vivid presentations, as the young participants took turns narrating the history of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, bringing the halls of Dazheng, Chongzheng, and the heights of the Phoenix Tower to life with their own voices. After a heartwarming viewing of two performance videos from children in the United States, the event culminated in a joyful awards presentation. Ultimately, this gathering proved that when children touch history with their hands and share it with their hearts, heritage ceases to be a relic of the past and becomes a living, breathing bridge. Through the "Music and Love" initiative, these young ambassadors demonstrated that while our cultural roots are unique, the spirit of creativity is a universal language that unites us all across borders.
