Beijing's Vibe of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Chinese Solar Terms-Minor Heat

There is a saying that goes, "The days of Minor Heat and Major Heat are muggy both in the air and on the ground." The solar term "Minor Heat" arrived on July 7, heralding a period marked by rising temperatures, frequent thunderstorms, and a splendid high summer accompanied by the chorus of cicadas and frogs. 

The "Beijing's Vibe of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Chinese Solar Terms", a short video series jointly produced by the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism and CRI Online, presents the episode of Minor Heat. This episode highlights the Making Technique of Flower Lanterns, an intangible cultural heritage of Beijing, showcasing how the inheritor of this traditional craftsmanship used a bamboo stalk as the frame and colored paper as the fabric to make a delicate lantern. Wander with a glowing lantern in your hand under the summer night sky, and you can discover the beauty of the stars and feel the passion and romance of the season.
