In this episode of "The Amazing Heritages", we invited Dr. Ben Perkasa Drajat, the Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia in Guangzhou, together with the host Vivian Ma, to open the doors to good luck by "apprenticing" with Ms. Liu Zhongping, a representative inheritor of Foshan New Year woodblock printings, which is a national-level intangible cultural heritage that originated in the Song and Yuan dynasties.
When gods resurrect in the new-style New Year woodblock prints, we unexpectedly see "the god for finding love," "the god for everything going smoothly," and even "god for baldness prevention"! So, Which god will capture the Consul General's interest most?
As a gesture of gratitude，Dr. Ben Perkasa Drajat and Ms. Josephine, a Batik inheritor from Indonesia, guided the host into the colorful world of Batik. They experienced this traditional craft, which had been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Surprisingly, the host discovered many Chinese elements within Batik, which were said to be related to Zheng He's voyages to the West, is that true?
With these questions in mind, let's delve into "When Foshan Woodblock Printing meets Indonesian Batik: Open the Doors to Good Luck" of "The Amazing Heritages" program to find out the answers.
