Chinese summer cloth, also known as “Chinese grass”, began in the Han Dynasty and has taken root in Rongchang for more than 2000 years. The traditional summer cloth manufacturing process is complex and time-consuming. It needs both hands to build a warp and a weft. Each process requires patience and good temper. But now, the industrial production in the information age has brought new challenges to the inheritance and development of Xiabu. Ma LinQin, the young intangible cultural heritage inheritor of Xiabu in Rongchang, and Tang Yi and chenjifeng, the transnational couple of Xiabu guild hall, are making efforts to contribute to the nirvana and rebirth of Xiabu in their own way.

中国夏布，又称“中国草”，始于汉代，已在荣昌扎根两千余年。传统夏布制造工艺复杂耗时，它的一经一纬都需要经过双手才能筑成，每一道工序都需要耐心与好脾气。可如今，信息时代的工业化生产为夏布的传承与带来了新的挑战。荣昌夏布年轻的非遗传承人马琳沁、夏布会馆的跨国夫妇唐艺与陈吉锋，正在努力为夏布的涅槃与重生，用自己的方式，贡献着力量。
