Tangible and Intangible Heritage
Tangible heritage refers to physical objects and structures that hold cultural significance. This includes items like buildings, monuments, artifacts, and landscapes that can be seen and touched. Examples of tangible heritage are the Great Wall of China and ancient pottery found in archaeological sites.
Intangible heritage, on the other hand, encompasses non-physical aspects of culture. This includes traditions, languages, performing arts, and rituals that are passed down through generations. Examples of intangible heritage are folk music, dance, and traditional craftsmanship that reflect the identity and values of a community.
