When you enter Wang Guanqin’s house,your eyes immediately focus on the various embroidered shoes that sit on the shelf.Why? The shoes—such as the phoenix-shaped shoes and the purple three-cun lily shoes(worn by Chinese women who bound their feet) dotted with pomegranate blossoms—are rare works of art.In fact,some of the shoes can be seen in historical films; therefore,one would not expect to see the shoes in Wang’s Beijing home! The shoes,created by Wang,are so special that,in April 2008,she was designated,by China’s Ministry of Culture,as a representative inheritor of Beijing’s intangible cultural heritage.
