Laiwu Tin Carving inherits ancient crafts, shines with innovative vitality

Originating from Laiwu District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, Laiwu Tin Carving dates back to 1675. It was selected as an imperial tribute during the Qianlong reign for its exquisite craftsmanship. It goes through over ten handmade processes and was inscribed on the national intangible cultural heritage list in 2008. Each piece of the Laiwu Tin Carving requires tens of thousands of manual hammer strikes, boasting artistic features of being bright as silver and clear as a mirror. (Photo by Zhang Kan)
