Intangible cultural heritage, an integral element of human kind at its best form, is a combination of spiritual wealth shared by all, which plays a significant role in the making and developing of human society. Among the heritage, traditional art and craft is both a major player. They constitute the basic value and spiritual structure of a nation as well as an ethnicity. While traditional art and craft are called origin, modern art and design are perceived as a stream. Imagine that traditional art and craft no longer prevail, could intangible cultural heritage ever prosper? Could modern art and design find their fountain and their foot also? Thus, inheriting is the root of making it long live. So far, human beings are a main connector in passing intangible cultural heritage from one generation to the other.Currently, our country is taking various means to preserve and protect this kind of intangible heritage. Of the research and development, the connect human beings also turns into a hot issue to all experts and intellectuals. The definition of connector is about a group of elite people or individuals who are able and willing to learn and promote the essence of a certain traditional art and craft, namely the cultural technique and skills. Therefore, the individuals and the elite group consist of the subsidiary structure of intangible cultural heritage system. In history book, not only individuals but also a special group, who help survive and develop the heritage, contribute to the very endless existence and refinement of the culture. There is major share for plastic art forms in multiple forms of intangible cultural heritage. It's an art based on oral passing from teachers, orators to pupils and learners, which could only be accomplished by two sides but not one. This kind of art forms, which has a say in the survival of intangible cultural heritage, has undoubtedly became an important part for protective measures to take account. Besides studying both domestic and oversea vanguard theory and latest info, I have every reason to believe our preoccupation should be with the so-called connector, not only group characteristics, living conditions but also selection criteria in terms of shielding them from extinction. National intangible cultural heritage Liangping Bamboo Painting and Board Pictures, Tongliang Dragon Dance are typical representatives of local Chongqing flavor.Liangping Bamboo Painting and Board Pictures, Tongliang Dragon Dance are famous for their delicate and sophisticated craftsmanship, all of which are passed from ancestors to the younger generation. After field study and surfing numerous documents, I write an essay on the details about the whole structure of the culture, like distribution of work, group characteristics, generate reasons and functional significance. I am also trying my own way to do something for documentary data support of the protection and sustainability of intangible cultural heritage by analyzing the way of both china and overseas countries do this kind of things.
