Mingjue Iron Painting Forging

The list entry

The list of intangible cultural heritage on the Nanjing tourism portal carries a single row:

NJⅦ-19 明觉铁画锻制技艺 溧水区

Translated: NJⅦ-19, Mingjue Iron Painting Forging, Lishui District.

According to that row the item belongs to the first Nanjing municipal list of intangible cultural heritage, its item code is NJⅦ-19 and the reporting district is Lishui. This entry rests on that row alone.

Uncertainties

First, the page is a table of names with no issuing body and no date, so its authority is limited and weaker than that of an official published document. The project name, item code and batch given here all need to be checked against the documents published by the Nanjing cultural authorities, and until that is done no assertion is made on the strength of this page.

Second, the year in which the first Nanjing municipal list of intangible cultural heritage was published has not been verified, so the batch is recorded as the first municipal batch with the year still to be verified.

Third, the processes, tools, materials, representative works and line of transmission of the iron painting craft have no craft-related source in this library; this entry does not develop them from the list row, and all of them remain to be added.

Fourth, the guardian unit and the representative bearer of the item have not been verified and remain to be added.
