Meet Lang Jiaziyu, a 24-year-old dough sculptor blending centuries-old artistry with 21st-century tech. Born into a family of traditional craftsmen, Lang started molding dough at age 3 🎨. But it’s her TikTok-era approach—using 3D scanning to preserve artifacts and sharing her creative process online—that’s earned her 2 million followers and turned dough art into digital gold 📱✨.
\"My fans aren’t just here for me—they’re here for Chinese culture,\" Lang says, proving Gen Z isn’t just scrolling memes. On Bilibili, a viral video by creator Jiang Xunqian shows modern girls mastering 'Iron Flowers,' a fiery 1,000-year-old folk art, landing it among 2023’s top 10 platform videos 🔥🎥.
These stories highlight a cultural revolution: young Chinese are no longer passive inheritors but dynamic innovators. From Douyin dance challenges featuring hanfu (traditional clothing) to AI-powered museum exhibits, ancient traditions are getting a viral makeover 💃🤖.
As Lang puts it: \"Every scan, every like, every share—it’s how we keep our roots alive in the digital age.\" 🌍💡
