Among the dazzling array of classical architectural decorations, if you want to find a master in the field of art, then the art of ancient wood carving is undoubtedly a splendid splendor of these brilliant craftsmanship.

Ancient woodcarvings are exquisite but not perfect. They are full, lifelike, and image in the conceptual composition. The roughness of the carving is bold and powerful, and the subtleties of the carving are exquisite and inexhaustible.

Every thing made is exquisite and delicate, and every cut is clean. Throughout the wood carvings of ancient buildings, the composition of the content includes complicated, well-known allusions and myths of celebrities.

The ingenuity of the ancients' architectural sculpture lies in its ability to express rich images in the prescribed space. One person, one thing, one flower and one grass, not only has a concise summary of a single shape, but also can be interspersed and integrated into the entire surface, taking into account the independence of a single plot and the integrity of the theme story.

This small, subtle and timeless approach, an appropriately dense, compact and coordinated layout, and the rhythm of lightness and severity, rigidity and softness at the same time, allows the ancient wood carvings displayed in front of us over the years to still be able to Let us be amazed.
