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
