Creative Description:

This project centers on the ancient tower of Yifeng, Jiangxi, employing intangible cultural heritage (ICH) techniques to craft a multidimensional creative design. The journey begins in a picturesque utopia, unveiling the ancient tower amidst poetic beauty. The tower’s intricate details showcase Yifeng's thousand-year history and culture, brought to life through ICH artistry. The segmented design of the tower layers evokes the sensation of time rewinding, as ancient traditions emerge like treasured relics of heritage.

The proposal integrates diverse art forms, featuring traditional instruments in the "Kaizha" musical culture expressed through ICH techniques, vividly portraying Yifeng's rich folkloric heritage. Fan formations and oiled paper umbrellas, designed with ICH craftsmanship, embody the elegance of dancers silently conveying the essence of ancient culture. The breathtaking fire dragon lantern performance, a distinctive ICH project, showcases Yifeng's unique regional identity with remarkable vibrancy.

Furthermore, the seasonal transitions of vegetation on the tower symbolize the symphony of life cycles, reflecting the passage of time. The dramatic imagery of the tower breaking apart and being enveloped by water intertwines with ICH elements, imbuing the ancient structure with a new vitality. This design signifies that, just like ICH traditions, life—despite its trials and fractures—can flourish anew through preservation and rebirth.
