Many photographers and amateurs have produced in decades numerous folk games photos, which, to some extent, themselves can be regarded as intangible cultural heritage. Carrying the gene of Chinese traditional culture, Chinese folk games are not only a part of the nation’s intangible cultural heritage but also the common wealth of mankind. This photography exhibition, “Chinese Folk-Games”, aims to save, protect, inherit and promote the nation’s spirit and wisdom embodied in this intangible cultural heritage when the greatest sports event, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, is approaching. It is hoped that through a wide collection of works and large-scale visual exhibit, the diversity of Chinese folk games can be fully displayed in front of the public, and therefore, the charm of folk games restored and the concern for the games at extinction aroused. Meanwhile, as a part of “People’s Olympics”, this exhibition helps more foreign friends better understand Chinese people’s sports culture and sports beliefs.

The Photography Exhibition of Chinese Folk-Games finally meets with the public after a year’s works collection and preparation. We have totally received over 10,000 pieces of works from more than 800 authors from all over the country. 436 pieces have been selected by curator and review panel after careful consideration. These works have demonstrated not only the colorfulness of Chinese folk games and the living scenes of people’s lives, but also the satisfying performance of Chinese documentary photography.
