After people finish eating fruits, they often throw away the nuts(核）inside. But some artists do something different—they collect these nuts and turn them into beautiful art.
“One nut, from 0.8 to 6 centimetres, can be made into(被制成）beautiful earrings and other artworks,” said Tan Wanhai, the top artist of Weifang nut carving(核雕）.
The history of nut carving might start from the Qing Dynasty (1636—1912). During that time, an artist in the Palace Museum, taught people in Shandong Province how to carve nuts. This art of nut carving is so special that the government listed Weifang nut carving as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
“It’s hard to bring this kind of traditional art to life, so I spent many years working on it,” said Tan, the 50-year-old artist. “Every nut looks different,” Tan added. Artists look at nuts carefully(仔细地）to make them into art. Also, they learn old ways of painting and writing skills to make their work really nice. “In order to show folk stories from ancient times, I need to read many books to enrich myself.”
“Artists in the past were wise enough to turn common things into beautiful things. Recently, thanks to the creative ideas of artists in Weifang, more people in China are starting to like nut carvings,” Tan said. “They make new ways to carve and make sure the art keeps going for future artists.”
