Covorul tradițional – element din matricea etno-culturală a poporului român

Abstract

Today, in the context of globalization, the promotion of cultural identity is a priority strategy of our country, and the Romanian identity can only remain alive by preserving the cultural heritage. In addition to popular creations (doines, ballads, fairytales and legends, proverbs and sayings or poems), the traditional Romanian culture also includes craftsmanship, ceramics, wooden objects, fabrics, embroidery and, last but not least, a part of UNESCO heritage. The carpet, thanks to its many functions and meanings, to the level of artistic and millennial continuity, completes the cultural matrix of our people.
