HUANGSHAN, April 3 (Xinhua) -- When tea-making techniques meet digitalization, a profound industrial transformation starts quietly in Huangshan City, east China's Anhui Province. The integration of inheritors' tea-making techniques with modern factory production mode can not only achieve fine control in production but also greatly improve the efficiency of production.
"In addition to utilizing intangible cultural heritage data in tea making, we have also added the process of removing impurities. The cleanliness of our tea is much better than that of traditional tea products," said Zhang Chengren, an inheritor of red tea-making techniques.
Furthermore, digital technology provides a broader platform for the inheritance of tea-making techniques.
"Through the continuous improvement of the production method and the cooperation of experienced tea makers, we can regulate and control the changes in the tea-making process. The whole process is digitalized but the traditional taste of tea is preserved," Xie Sishi, an inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage Huangshan Maofeng tea-making techniques, pointed out.
In Huangshan, digital technology not only optimizes the traditional tea-making process but also interweaves tea culture with the future, making this intangible cultural heritage "inherited."
