China's first set of industry standards in the field of intangible cultural heritage were approved for release by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

Titled "Digital Preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage: The Collecting and Cataloging of Digital Resources", the standards comprise 11 categories of traditional culture - literature, music, dance, theater, storytelling, sports, acrobatics, fine art, craftsmanship, medicine and folk customs.

Since 2011, the Chinese National Academy of Arts has been preparing the standards, with the help of nearly 100 experts and scholars in the fields of intangible cultural heritage preservation, standardization and digitalization, both from the academy, as well as other academic institutions and research organizations.
