Starting from scratch, he overcame numerous difficulties to fully restore the nearly lost clay whistle techniques.

The traditional craft was officially listed as an intangible cultural heritage of Shandong Province in 2024. Integrating the wisdom of traditional solar terms, the demeanor of ancient scholars and profound Yimeng cultural essence into handmade works, Zhang turns every tiny clay whistle into a vivid cultural carrier with artistic and promotional value.

Today, the melodious sound of Yimeng clay whistles travels across mountains and oceans to reach the world. The time-honored folk art embodies craftsman's perseverance and heritage spirit. It serves as a distinctive cultural window to showcase the enduring vitality of traditional Chinese culture and tell authentic Chinese cultural stories to the globe.
