Nanyang Pyrography, a traditional Chinese art originated from the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC-25 AD), has a history of over 2,000 years. The craft, using tools with high temperature to draw patterns on carbonizable materials, creates visual effects resembling traditional Chinese paintings. It was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2021. Li Zhe, 54, is a provincial-level inheritor of Nanyang Pyrography. Having being engaged in the profession for 30 plus years, Li first used iron needle grilled by oil lamp to form patterns on chopsticks and rulers, which made it a difficult task to finish a high-quality pyrography as the temperature of the iron needle was hard to control.
