1-minute News | 'Grandpa Dougong' revitalizes traditional Chinese architecture knowledge into life

"Dougong" serves as a distinctive structural component made up of interlocking wooden brackets. With a history spanning over 2,000 years, it has been widely used in China's traditional architecture.

The 74-year-old Wang Yongxian worked in the cultural relics sector for decades. Even after his retirement, his passion for traditional architecture remains strong, and he wants to bring these architectural treasures to a wider audience.

Four years ago, Wang began to teach himself how to create short videos and livestreams. Through engaging and informative content, he tells younger generations about the history and cultural significance of traditional Chinese architecture. His fans have grown to over 20 million now, and they affectionately call him "Grandpa Dougong".

Wang said that as a cultural relic worker, deep in his heart, he has a responsibility to constantly drive him to pass on the experience and knowledge of traditional Chinese architecture. If you have some time, why not check out "Grandpa Dougong"'s videos and learn something new?
