Woodcarving(木雕) is a traditional folk art form in China. Chen Jia, a young woman from Chaozhou, works on passing down and innovating(创新) Chaozhou woodcarving.
Chen, born in the 1990s, began to learn the craft when she was 14 years old under the influence and support of her family. “I wanted to give up several times during the learning process, as I often hurt myself. It's also very difficult. My father wanted me to give up woodcarving and find an easier job,” Chen said.
Chen said that she had a strong sense of achievement(成就感) when her first woodcarving artwork was sold. “Since I have learned it, I just keep going,” said Chen.
To finish one woodcarving piece, a woodcarver usually needs more than 30 carving knives and wooden hammers of different sizes. A common theme for carvings includes different sea animals. In the past, Chaozhou woodcarvings were mainly used to decorate(装饰) buildings. They served as furniture(家具) and ceremonial(典礼) objects. However, they start to lose their charm(魅力) among people nowadays.
To make young people better enjoy the traditional art form, Chen has innovated the craft in terms of its themes, shapes and usage. She now carves small decorative objects and articles(物件) for daily use, hoping that more and more people will like the artworks.
