Basic Introduction to Birch Bark Handicrafts

The Oroqen people are a typical hunting ethnic group, who have been hunting in the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains for generations since 386 AD. The forest coverage rate in Oroqen Autonomous Banner accounts for 97% of the total area of the whole Banner. The area where Oroqen people live is very rich in wild animal and plant resources. In the past, almost all Oroqen people were engaged in hunting, gathering and fishing production. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from the gifts of nature. They spent a long time hunting in deep mountains and dense forests, thus forming their unique mountain forest culture and hunting culture

Now that the Oroqen people have settled down from the mountains, the functional use of some birch bark products is becoming increasingly weakened, but their collection and ornamental value have been greatly enhanced. The birch bark production process has been preserved as a unique culture of the Oroqen people and will be passed down. This craft has been successfully declared as a national intangible cultural heritage
