A one-week survey on intangible cultural heritage along the Silk Road launched at the Northwest Normal University on Sunday. Reporters at China Education Daily and more than 30 teachers and students from eight Chinese universities went to the Gannan Tibet autonomous prefecture in the province to carry out the survey. They plan to inquire about the protection and inheritance of local intangible cultural heritage items, including painting Thang-ga, traditional Tibetan scroll pictures.
