He said one mask was once sold at a very high price and was listed as an intangible cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>  \tOther than the Nuo dance, few young people also want to learn the technique of making the masks. Even if the lessons are free, there are still deterrents such as how long it takes to make just one mask, the complicated process involved in making them, and the lack of available sales channels once the masks are done.<\/p>\n<p>  \tTo attract apprentices, Tan publishes recruiting information through various outlets. During this summer vacation, two boys interested in the folk art went to his hometown to study the traditional art form under him.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-63428490\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nuo dance(\u50a9\u821eNu&oacute;w\u01d4), a Maonan(\u6bdb\u5357\u65cfM&aacute;on&aacute;n Z&uacute;) folk art tradition, is considered a treasure of the ethnic group.
