Henan Province Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum

Located in Zhengzhou, the Henan Province Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum is a humanities venue that integrates the display of intangible cultural heritage techniques, cultural inheritance, and interactive experience. The museum focuses on core Central Plains traditional techniques such as Henan opera, mud carvings, and paper cutting, recreating immersive scenes and demonstrating techniques to allow visitors to feel the pulse of millennia of civilization. In the Henan Opera area, magnificent stage installations present the classic opera "Chen San Liang," with actors wearing costumes singing, reciting, acting, and performing, attracting audiences to stop and marvel; in the mud carving workshop, non-genetic inheritor Li Tiánshù【folk artist】hand-kneads clay, and lifelike twelve zodiac signs are born at his fingertips; the paper cutting corridor displays Zhang Yùlán【female artist of the Qing Dynasty】created "Hundred Birds Flying to the Phoenix" series, the knife moves back and forth, showcasing oriental aesthetics. The museum’s collection highlights exquisite pieces such as the Song Dynasty carved rhinoceros horn lacquer box and the Ming Dynasty glazed porcelain carved flower craftsmanship, representing the Central Plains craftsmen’s pursuit of excellence, while the Qing Dynasty’s “Henan Opera Comprehensive Record” manuscript records the innovative path of Henan opera pioneer Fán Yúnqīng【founder of Henan Opera】. The interactive experience area has non-genetic workshops, where visitors can hand-paint paper cutting window flowers and experience mud carving sculpture, feeling “non-genetic heritage on their fingertips.” The museum also has a non-genetic digital corridor, which uses holographic projection to recreate the bustling street scenes of "Eight Scenery of Bianjing" during the Tang and Song Dynasties, allowing traditional culture to be reborn in modern technology. It is not only a display museum of skills, but also the eternal spiritual totem of Central Plains civilization.
