Shao, I recently saw some beautiful photos. They are so unique. It looks like the hair decorations are made of wood. Are you talking about the one with Zhao Liying? Yeah, this one. Is this made of wood or leather? You'll never guess, it's actually made from the same material used for your wine bottle cards in Portugal.

It's part of China's intangible cultural heritage, called painting. About a hundred years ago, inspired by a Western greeting card, artisans in Fuzhou began carving cork into what we now call Oriental artistic chariots that can tell stories. Xiao, would you like to take photos like the one in the picture too? It would be so pretty!

Sure, let's go! Wow you are so beautiful Thank you Look at this open work designed on my headpiece Don I look just like the scenery of Fuzhou Next time you can bring your sister along We could even shot a documentary for her. My sister would totally go crazy for this. Let's try out how the cock painting is made. Wow, it's so incredible.

Look Lucas, this is a raw material using caulking. It's the same caulk as your wine stoppers, but we pick pieces with a more even density for easier caulking. Oh my god, we just use caulks to sell wine bottles, but you guys can actually caulk such exquisite buttons all to them. The process of making co-ed art is super intricate. Overall, it can be done in five steps.

1 Designing the form determine the form of the work and clearly mark its specific dimensions 2 Finalizing draft drawing accurately depict all elements of the composition 3. Component production. Select suitable materials and create all parts of the artwork.

4. Thin assembly, assemble all components strictly according to the finalized design draft. 5. Framing in the packaging, add an outer frame in the packaging, completing the artwork. It's amazing! Carpenting values, being as thin as paper, as fine as silk, A single piece of cork is carved into three layers to create the three-dimensional effect of a pavilion.

It's full of Chinese ingenuity. Using various finely knives artisans can carve everything pavilions mountains rocks gardens flowers insects fish people boats and more into a quark It is often called a silent poem, a three-dimensional painting.

These quark paintings are sold overseas. Foreigners say it's like painting Chinese scenery into quark painting. Our corks are mostly mass produced. While your cork painting is handmade and custom crafted, that's the charm of different cultures. The same material can tell such different stories.

From now on, whenever I see the one cork, I will think of the Chinese cork painting. It's amazing the same material can express totally different cultures. This is the power of culture. It turns simple material into cultural signature that can also go global.
