The ancient Chinese tradition of telling time through the observation of the sun’s annual motion and changes of seasons, astronomy and other natural phenomena originated in the Yellow River reaches of China. The practice divided the sun’s annual circular motion into 24 segments, beginning in spring and ending with the Greater Cold. Its influence spread to the Gregorian calendar. Today it remains of particular importance to farmers for guiding their practices. Some rituals and festivities are associated with the terms, which have contributed to the community’s cultural identity. Knowledge of the element is transmitted through formal and informal means of education.
通过对公转、季节变化、天文和其他自然现象的观察来告知时间变化，是中国自古就有的传统，来源于中国的黄河流域。 这项传统将地球公转的年度循环运动分为24个节气---它从春季开始，以大寒结束。这项传统影响到格里高利历法（现行公历）的制定。今天，这项惯例对于中国农民的日常生活仍具指导意义，当地许多节日庆典和这24个节气相关，成为了当地社区文化的身份象征。中国人通过观察太阳周年运动而形成的时间知识体系及其实践在正规与非正规教育中得以流传至今。
This brings the total number of traditional elements China has inscribed on the lists to 39.
目前，中国列入名录的非物质文化遗产项目总数达到39个。

The Yama, Hoko, Yatai Float festivals happen annually in communities all around Japan. They are a purely communal endeavor at every step from the design and construction of the floats that reflect the diversity of local culture, to the accompanying music and overall event coordination. They involve residents from the city centre assembling the floats while those from surrounding areas are in charge of pulling the constructs and playing the music. The festivals symbolize Japanese custom of offering prayer to the gods for peace and protection from natural disasters.

On Jeju Island a community of women, some aged in their 80s, goes diving up to 10m under the sea to gather shellfish, such as abalone or sea urchins for a living, all without the help of oxygen masks.

在韩国济州岛上的一个女性社区，生活着年龄在80岁及以上的“海女”，她们在没有氧气面罩帮助的情况下，潜入海底达到10米以下收集例如鲍鱼或海胆等贝类，并以此作为谋生手段。济州海女（女性潜水员）每天潜水收集贝类的时间长达七小时，每年工作90天，而每次潜水都需要屏住呼吸长达一分钟。
Before a dive, prayers are said to the Jamsugut, goddess of the sea, to ask for safety and an abundant catch. Knowledge is passed down to younger generations in families, schools, local fishery cooperatives which have the area’s fishing right. The culture of Jeju haenyeo has contributed to the advancement of women’s status in the community and promoted environmental sustainability with its eco-friendly methods and community involvement in management of fishing practices.
在潜水之前，女性潜水员都要向当地海的女神进行祈祷，以祈求安全和丰富的捕获。这些潜水相关的传统做法在社区内的家庭，学校，和当地持有捕鱼权的渔业合作社的年轻一代中得以传承。济州的海女文化有助于提高妇女在社区的地位，通过环保和社区参与的渔业管理方式，促进了当地环境的可持续性。
