Cultural heritage has two types, material and spiritual. All physical remains from the past that represent human culture and civilization are called material or tangible cultural heritage. Paintings, memorable statues, valuable inscriptions, and historic buildings are among tangible heritage. Spiritual or intangible cultural heritage is also used in identifying and connecting a particular group of people. A set of ideas, beliefs, customs, traditions, rituals, festivals, and performing arts is recognized as intangible cultural heritage. The largest amount of intangible world heritage belongs to China. In 2022, at the 17th session of UNESCO's Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, China, with 43 elements, claimed the most inscribed spiritual world heritage in the world. Iran, too, with the inscription of 21 elements, jointly with Croatia ranks sixth in intangible cultural heritage in the world.
