A longquan sword on display.
Longquan swords by master Shen Xinpei are also a highlight of the exhibition.
The history of such swords dates back to the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) and the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). Legend says that the first Longquan sword was forged by two famous swordsmiths, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang.
In an interesting cross-over approach, the traditional brewing technique of liquor producer Luzhou Laojiao, also an national-level intangible cultural heritage item dating back some 700 years, is also showcased.
"In recent years, from clothing and food to transport and accommodation, intangible cultural heritages are increasingly connected with people's daily life and widely promoted," said Wu Penghong, director of the Shanghai Mass Art Center and Shanghai Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Center.
