ChinaVine.org
ChinaVine.org is an ongoing interactive website project that educates English-speaking audiences about China’s cultural heritage. ChinaVine.org consists of volumes focusing on eleven villages in Shandong province, seven folk artists in Beijing, and two Miao festivals and two Miao performance centers in four villages in Guizhou Province. In development are volumes on the Yi language in Sichuan province, Song Zhang arts district in Beijing, Gaobeidian Folklore Village in Beijing, and contemporary artists and musicians who are self-consciously responding and incorporating tradition into their work in Beijing.
