Gansu Gulang: Interwoven threads of heritage and revitalization

chinadaily.com.cn

In the heart of the Hexi Corridor, Gansu, Gulang county's handmade carpets are not just interlaced artworks but three-dimensional chronicles bearing millennia of wisdom.

Each carpet's creation embodies artisans' reverence for nature and cultural devotion, from selecting plateau wool to over a dozen intricate processes, from traditional motifs like key fret and Eight Treasures to innovative minimalist designs, where wool's softness merges with craftsmanship's passion.

Once a cultural symbol echoing along the Silk Road's camel bells, this land's weaving craft now fuels rural vitalization.
