On May 20, 2006, Mianzhu woodblock printing was approved by the State Council to be listed in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage.

After more than a decade, it has taken a new path driven by the government's poverty alleviation policy, while new elements have been integrated into the ancient culture.
