Intangible Cultural Heritages around Great Wall① 丨 Scrap Leathersmiths, Far-out Travellers
Jul 10,2023 Great Wall New Media

长城,不仅给我们留下了绵延万里的雄伟与穿越千年的遐思,还给我们留下了灿若群星的非物质文化遗产。

The legacy of the Great Wall is not only the magnificent earth-and-stone structure that travels on mountain tops for ten thousand miles and the reverie that runs through thousand years but also the star-studded shining image of an intangible cultural heritage site.

张家口西南100多公里的阳原县,是中国毛皮文化的发祥地和中国毛毛匠的原乡,这里的“碎皮加工技艺”被列入省级非遗名录。500多年前,以阳原毛毛匠为代表的张家口皮毛商人,从大境门出长城,一路向北,沿着古老的张库大道远走蒙古国的库伦、俄罗斯的恰克图……

Over 100 km southwest of Zhangjiakou lies a county named Yangyuan, which is the birthplace of the Chinese fur culture and the hometown of scrap leather craftsmen. Its scrap leather processing skills have been inscribed into the list of provincial level intangible cultural heritage. More than 500 years ago, scrap leathersmiths in Zhangjiakou, represented by scrap leathersmiths of Yangyuan, hit the road, starting from the Dajingmen or the Big Entry Door of the Great Wall and travelled northward all the way to Kuren in Mongolia, Chaktu in Russia...

今天,新生代阳原毛毛匠不断创新技艺,把时尚新潮的皮毛服饰裁剪成了长城脚下极具东方神韵的文化符号,他们制作的碎皮加工产品远销俄罗斯、美国、德国、韩国、日本等20多个国家和地区。

Today, Generation Z of the Yangyuan scrap leathersmiths have creatively cut the fashionable scrap leather garments into a cultural symbol at the foot of the Great Wall, demonstrating the holy charm of oriental culture. Their scrap leather products are sold into over 20 countries and regions such as Russia, the United States, Germany, South Korea and Japan.
