Acollection of intangible cultural heritage projectswith Qingpucharacteristicshas beenprominently featured at an art exhibition celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

This art exhibition not only attracted the active participation of 3,096 artists from all 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country but also showcased a variety of traditional crafts and intangible cultural heritage works from Shanghai and Qingpu District. Among them, the cloisonné enamel making and inlaid furniture craftsmanship from Qingpu added a unique flair to this cultural feast.

"Traditional arts are closely connected to local life, and today we bringcloisonné enamel art works, which are representatives of this heritage," said Shi Jun, a master of arts and crafts from Shanghai. "We hope to integrate traditional cloisonné techniques with contemporary life. Therefore, we have created many enamel jewelry pieces, enamel art decorations and murals that combine enamel with architectural spaces."

In 2012, he also collaborated with institutions such as the Prince Charles Foundation of the British Royal Family to combine traditional enamel techniques with the theme of the British Rose Dynasty, creating a throne for the celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's 60th anniversary of ascension. This throne is now housed in Buckingham Palace.
