Crochet flowers is a traditional Chaoshan handicraft with a long history. With the changes of times, the number of people who can crochet flowers by hand is gradually decreasing, and this traditional Chaoshan craft is declining.

A lot of women near the school can crochet flowers. In view of this situation, the Southwest Primary School in Longhu District in our city established a "Chaoshan Crochet Flowers Art Workshop" based on the protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage in the aesthetic education. The school opened a crochet flower class, and invited the drawnwork inheritors of the national intangible cultural heritage project to visit the school for guidance, and hired some parents of students as after-school activities counselors, to innovate and improve Chaoshan's crochet flowers on the basis of tradition, to create with the theme of Chaoshan delicacy, so that children can take a closer look at and inherit intangible cultural heritage, and plant the seeds of traditional culture in the heart.

传统手工钩花走进汕头校园

钩花是历史悠久的潮汕传统手工艺。随着时代变迁，如今会手工钩花的人逐渐减少，这种传统的潮汕工艺日渐式微。

  我市龙湖区西南小学针对学校附近不少妇女都会钩花的实际，在开展美育工作中与非遗保护传承相结合，成立“潮汕钩花艺术工作坊”，开设钩花手工课，邀请国家级非遗项目抽纱传承人进校指导，同时聘请部分学生家长担任校外辅导员，把潮汕钩花在传统的基础上进行创新改进，以潮汕美食为主题进行创作，让孩子们走近非遗、传承非遗，在心中种下传统文化的种子。
