Abstract
Modern humanitarian studies actively explore various aspects of the formation and development of the artistic culture of various peoples, especially in the light of its disappearance against the background of certain social processes. China has long been home to about fifty small nations, especially in the north-east of the country. The remoteness of some regions makes it possible to preserve traditional arts and crafts, but they are also gradually changing in response to the needs of business, tourism and government policy in the arts and education. This article is devoted to understanding the development of arts and crafts in the past and present of China. The tasks include identifying the most common arts and crafts of minority nationalities in the past and their features, comparing them with the current situation, based on the research of scientists, as well as the products of craftsmen. It is important to show how the Chinese government and business support the creativity of national minorities and initiate relevant and innovative solutions within the existing artistic traditions. In addition, an attempt will be made to highlight the artistic features that are particularly valued in the products of small nations and influence their place in modern public life.
