Declaration area or unit: Oroqen Autonomous Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region

The orchun animal skin making technique is a unique handicraft of the northern hunting nationality in China, with strong national and regional characteristics. From generation to generation, the Oroqen people lived by hunting and eating animal meat and skin for a long time. In this process, they created a unique craft of animal skin. The technological process of making animal skins of the Oroqen nationality includes skin collection, tanning, stitching, dyeing, decoration, embroidery, etc. the finished products can be divided into clothing, daily necessities, religious utensils, etc.

Roe deer skin culture is a unique culture of the Oroqen nationality under specific historical conditions. The daily necessities of roe deer skin of Oroqen nationality in Heilongjiang Province and Inner Mongolia autonomous region include quilts, coats, gloves, hats, trousers, boots, purse, satchel, etc. these articles are mainly made of knife and other unique tools. The production of roe deer skin products is an initiative of the Oroqen people to make full use of their own animal skin culture to resist the cold, protect themselves, adapt to the environment and actively survive.

The Oroqen people of Aihui District, Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province have been hunting in the deep mountains and dense forests of Xiaoxing'an Mountains for generations. Since the Oroqen people did not have their own characters, the skills of making animal skins and their products became the carrier of Oroqen hunting culture. This is a history book without words, which deeply reflects the Oroqen people's outlook on life, aesthetics and religion. It is an important basis for understanding and exploring the Oroqen national culture, and has high academic research value. With the progress and development of society, great changes have taken place in the dress of Oroqen people. In addition, the resources of roe deer skin are decreasing, and the old craftsmen who master the craft of making roe deer skin have died one after another. This precious national craft is on the verge of extinction, which needs to be protected and inherited.
