(220705) -- KUNMING, July 5, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Xu Ronghong (L), a Zitao (purple pottery) craftsman, teaches an apprentice to polish a pottery ware in Wanyao Village of Jianshui County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province, June 30, 2022. Xu Ronghong, 57, is an inheritor of the making skills of Jianshui purple pottery, one of the national intangible cultural heritages of China. Xu was born in Jianshui County. As the fifth generation pottery maker of his family, Xu started to learn the techniques since childhood. In order to make an excellent piece of pottery, every process including clay preparing, modeling, decorating, firing and polishing all need great concentration. "The procedures are interlocking. One tiny flaw in a certain process would lead to a defective product," Xu said while adding carved decorations to the surface of a pottery ware.

                    (240716) -- KUNMING, July 16, 2024 Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM) -- Sun Hongyan (L) explains inside painting technique to an apprentice at an art academy in Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province, July 3, 2024. Inside painting, or inner painting, is a traditional Chinese art form. It originally involved tiny snuff bottles which had pictures and calligraphy painted on their inside surfaces. A inside painting is produced by manipulating a specialized brush through the neck of a bottle. The painting process, which is totally reversed inside the bottle, requires absolute precision from the artist. Sun Hongyan, a 49-year-old interior of inside painting, has integrated Yunnan's natural scenery, ethnic customs, among others, into her works, thus creating the unique Yunnan school of this art. While adhering to traditional techniques, the inside painting has gained popularity among the young with innovations.

After days of thinking, Zhang Puzhong decided to do something instructive to his grandchildren: bring them back to the forest he used to live as a child more than 60 years ago. "This is very important. I know how happy I am today because I never forget how bitter my life was in the past," Zhang said. Zhang is a 70-year-old Kucong resident in Xiaxinzhai Village, Zhemi Township of Jinping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province.
