老广的味道

Charm of China

The series of documentary publications "Amorous China" takes the most representative intangible cultural heritage items among the 55 ethnic minorities and other unique ethnic minority cultural content as the main body and core of production. The first season mainly shows people living in Northwest China. Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and ethnic minorities in northern Xinjiang. Focusing on the theme of precipitation, nurturing, and inheritance, it focuses on the splendid and diverse national cultural heritage, digs deeply into the true nature of Chinese culture, and deeply records the historical memory and cultural heritage of Chinese ethnic minorities, as well as their firm watch over their own national culture. The whole work is not only a devout reflection on the relationship between man and nature, but also a vivid portrayal of the characteristics of the times and social changes, national customs and free life.
