Porcelain mending, an ancient Chinese traditional craft which uses special drills and nails to make patches on broken porcelain wares, gives a new life to the porcelain and allows it to be back into use. Yang Tao, a fifth generation inheritor of Yang's porcelain mending skills in Zibo City of east China's Shandong Province, has been dedicated in the craft for over 30 years." In ancient times, we mended the porcelain wares just for reusing it, but now the craft can recreate it to a piece of artwork," said Yang Tao. Influenced by his father and grandfather, Yang has been interested in the craft since his childhood. The first toy he got was a load filled with various tools for porcelain mending. He became a professional porcelain mender when he was 25 years old and started to visit masters in the art across the country. Thro
