In the Tibet autonomous region the government has implemented a wide range of measures in order to protect its intangible cultural heritage (ICH). After an in-depth survey aiming at collecting information to record and list local culture, Tibetan authorities have amended the ICH legal framework that now requires prefectures and counties to enliven local arts by providing allowances to skilful people in order to educate younger generations. Besides increasing financial support and extending the list of traditional forms eligible for subsidies and protection, many tailored programs are proliferating. For instance, an accredited craftsman specialised in Thangka art - a painting on cotton, or silk appliqué, usually depicting Buddha - has been invited to lecture more than 200 students in a Qamdo’s school. Students willing to qualify have followed him in his workshop as apprentices. Another positive project has been the integration of modern technologies to bronze statue forging in Litu village. New methods and machines to quench, polish and weld have helped households to reach a higher productivity and expand their market. Finally, Tibetan authorities have also set up cooperative workshops to improve the efficiency, lower the costs and increase the incomes of once separate household workshops. Consequently to these measures, Tibetan ICH is expected to be better integrated in new tourist attractions and bring extra economic benefits to the region.
