Do you know Liu Wenhui? As one of Forbes China's top 100 outstanding craftsmen of 2024,he is turning ancient Chinese buildings into toys.

Born in Shanxi,China,Liu loved visiting ancient buildings,such as temples and towers,near his hometown as a child. These buildings used a special woodworking skill called the mortise-and-tenon joint structure(榫卯结构). This skill has a history of over 7,000 years. It puts pieces together without nails(钉子) or glue. Liu thought the traditional structures were creative and amazing. He wanted people to touch and play with them,not just to look at them in museums.
When he grew up,Liu came up with the idea of making mortise-and-tenon building blocks(积木). He started reading books and visiting ancient buildings to learn more. He tried to make small models of mortise-and-tenon structures using the same woodworking skill. But that was not easy. The small parts needed to fit perfectly to stay balanced. Liu tried many times and also learned from many craftsmen.
In 2013,Liu finally created his first sets of building blocks. They sold out quickly online. Later,he opened his own workshop and used plastic(塑料) for some parts to lower costs. His cheapest set costs about 100 yuan,so more kids can afford to play with them. "This craft is part of Chinese culture. I'm glad to help keep it alive," Liu says. He hopes his toys will help share China's ancient wisdom with the world.
