Originating from folk traditions, stone rubbings stand as a quintessential representation of Chinese decorative arts. Featuring a rich array of themes—from deities and festive celebrations to operatic narratives—they embody the aspirations and cultural identity of everyone, serving as an encyclopedia of our day-to-day life.
Regarded as an early form of printing, the art of stone rubbing evolved into movable-type printing and spread worldwide via the Silk Road, profoundly influencing the development of human civilization. Today, it is recognized as an intangible cultural heritage.
This September, POLY MGM MUSEUM will host the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Traditional Printing Workshop" every Saturday. We are reinventing this ancient craft through a modern aesthetic lens. Join us to experience the creative joy of traditional printing—transforming blank sheets into vibrant, auspicious designs—and immerse yourself in the unique charm of tradition reinvented.
