(240111) -- SHENYANG, Jan. 11, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Yu Haixu looks at violin blueprints at his studio in Yingkou, northeast China's Liaoning Province on Jan. 9, 2024. Yu Haixu is a luthier working in Yingkou City of northeast China's Liaoning Province. Influenced by his father since childhood, he gradually grew attached to the sophisticated making crafts of the violin family and started working as a luthier after graduation from the university, majoring in the making of violins as well as other bowed instruments like violas and cellos. From raw materials to a fine instrument, each handmade violin, viola or cello needs to go through more than 100 complicated procedures and requires the refined skills and great patience of a luthier. After years of practice, Yu Haixu has long been familiar with these processes. "I hope the making crafts of the violin family can be passed on," said Yu, "I also hope that more people can enjoy playing a handmade one while being warmed and touched by its rich, resonate tone."

Beijing palace carpet is a splendid example of China's traditional carpet weaving techniques. Known for its intricate production processes and beautiful patterns, the palace carpet represents the pinnacle of Chinese weaving artistry. The production involves four main steps: dyeing with traditional Chinese herbs, pattern design, weaving and shaping, and finally, finishing touches. As one of the "Beijing Eight Imperial Handicrafts," the art of palace carpet was designated a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008. Ji Yu, born in 1971 in central China's Henan Province, has dedicated over 30 years to the repair and creation of traditional palace carpets. In 1995, along with her husband Li Dongyang, she moved to Beijing to specialize in restoring ancient carpets. Over the years, the co

      (240607) -- BEIJING, June 7, 2024 (Xinhua) -- Carved lacquer artworks are displayed at Zhu Jiang's studio in Gu'an, north China's Hebei Province, May 30, 2024. Carved lacquer, dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), greeted its peak time in Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Beijing and Yangzhou have become the two centers for the craft of carved lacquer, which was listed as a national-level intangible cultural heritage in 2006. Carved lacquer differs in its colors, namely red, black or multiple colors. Its making procedures include designing, body shaping, lacquer making, coating, drawing, carving and grinding. The craftsman needs to smoothly use various kinds of knives to carve patterns on the ware, and even a little miss can destroy the whole artwork. The craft can only be grasped through three to five years of practice. Therefore, it is also called "the art of time." Born in 1976, Zhu Jiang, an inheritor of the craft of carved lacque
