Chaozhou wood carvings are mostly made of camphor wood with moderate tenacity. There are a variety of carving forms, including relief, sinking, round carving, engraving, and through carving. The finished products are exquisite and rich in layers.

Gu Liuxi, a national representative inheritor of Chaozhou wood carving, is also a master of Chinese arts and crafts. After more than 50 years of hard work, Gu Liuxi still felt that he needed to learn a lot. He said, "I have done and learned for more than 50 years, and now I still have to respect tradition and innovate."Editor/Ma Xue
