Jianchuan County, located in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture of southwest China's Yunnan Province, has a long history in woodcarving dating back to the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) dynasties.

A high-standard "Four Screens", a representative displaying form of the craft, requires high-level carving skills and costs several months to create.
