Uncle Jiu: My Intangible Cultural Heritage Skills Terrify the Gods of Maoshan

Intangible Cultural Heritage Awakens! I Terrify Maoshan's Gods with Paper-Cutting and Dough Sculptures

After transmigrating to Republican-era Renjia Town, Lin Yan inherits the dilapidated Caixia Workshop. On the night zombies break in, his paper-cutting heritage awakens. With a single snip, he summons Shentu to subdue the corpse, and Uncle Jiu mistakes it for a sacred exorcism art!

Dough sculptures draw out corpse poison, paper effigies bridge the worlds of the living and dead, movable type suppresses the Nine Provinces, and Suzhou embroidery controls Western demons! When traditionalists scoff that "paper-cutting and kneading dough are just street tricks," he stages the intangible cultural heritage performance The Legend of the White Snake at a Taoist sect gathering: paper cutouts transform the scenery, Suzhou embroidery controls the water, and movable type reveals talismans. One song shakes the Three Realms!

The Underworld invites him to serve as a guest advisor, Heaven gifts him a branch from the Peaches of Immortality, and Kunlun begs him to subdue Taotie! When signs of a rift in the sky appear, he builds a mortise-and-tenon frame with his bare hands to mend the heavens and uses the incense arts to reach every realm.

"Who says intangible cultural heritage can't lead to the Dao?"
