Jianchuan Wood Carving is a Bai ethnic handcraft technique originating in Jianchuan, Dali, and passed down for over a thousand years. Using fine wood from western Yunnan, artisans intricately carve flowers, birds, fish, insects, landscapes, figures, and Bai-style gatehouse motifs, with delicate knife work and distinct layers. From the beams and rafters of ancient buildings to modern home furnishings, a single piece of wood takes on countless forms in the hands of craftsmen, making it the warmest 'Bai memory' among China's national-level intangible cultural heritage.
