Xinyang Root Art
Root carving art is a unique form of Chinese folk arts and crafts. Xinyang, located deep in the Dabie Mountains, boasts abundant and diverse root materials, making it an ideal place for root carving creation. Currently, more than ten types of trees are commonly used for root carving, including sandalwood, privet, and azalea. Xinyang root art carries a strong earthy charm. Though “rustic” in nature, it is incredibly captivating. It preserves the natural beauty of the roots in terms of color, shape, texture, scent, and charm, offering viewers a high-level artistic experience and emotional resonance. (Xinyang)
