Happy Birthday, Xiao! #GenshinImpact# #Xiao# "Why do you look so surprised? Have you never seen me pick up a brush before? This is just a traditional craft that has been passed down for ages among the people of Liyue, and it now comes naturally to me after having seen it done many times. And besides, I had their help." "He is amazing! He painted all these fish lanterns!" "Ahem. You may want to give it a try yourself if you have the time. Mixing colors, drawing the outlines... It's not that complicated. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions."

Zhaoxing Dong Village in Liping county, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Guizhou Province, is nestled among mountains and crossed by streams. In one workshop, Dong artisans wield wax knives and carefully draw patterns on white fabric. Dong totems, floral designs, and bird motifs gradually take shape under their fingertips. Every pattern and stroke reflects the Dong people's aesthetic traditions passed down through generations and carries their ancestors' hopes for a better life. Lu Yongmei, head of a traditional craft farmers' professional cooperative and a provincial-level inheritor of indigo dyeing, said years ago, traditional dyeing and weaving techniques were on the verge of being lost. Traditional Dong textiles had limited designs, and many Dong women artisans struggled to make a living from their craft. To preserve the tradition and create new income opportunities, Lu led the cooperative in visiting veteran artisans across the county to restore endangered techniques while also seeking design inspirations beyond the mountains. By combining tradition with modern aesthetics, the cooperative has developed a range of new products, including indigo-dyed tea mats, casual backpacks, cultural and creative earrings, and home decorations. Today, Dong artisans who once struggled to make ends meet can work at workshops near their homes, enabling them to care for their children, increase their incomes, and pass on their skills at the same time. Over the past year, hands-on experiences of intangible cultural heritage crafts have gained popularity in Zhaoxing Dong Village. Lu's cooperative continues to develop creative cultural products rooted in intangible cultural heritage. It has now created more than 600 creative cultural products that combine ethnic features with modern practicality. With 228 registered members, the cooperative has helped more than 1,000 women from over 100 villages across the county participate through order-based production, skills training, and workshop employment, turning traditional crafts hidden in the mountains into a major source of income.
