Features: Ming and Qing folk wood carvings are the twin sisters of Ming and Qing furniture. If Ming and Qing furniture is an "essence poem," then Ming and Qing folk wood carvings are an "essence chronicle." Ming and Qing folk wood carvings not only possess the poetic charm of Ming and Qing furniture but also serve as an encyclopedic record of folk customs and traditions. They provide a panoramic view of social life and the daily scenes of various stages from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty over more than 500 years. These carvings hold exceptional historical document value and precious folk cultural heritage value, representing an extremely rare original ecological cultural resource. This series of books includes seventeen categories such as historical opera characters, figures from all walks of life, plum blossoms and magpies, symbols of wealth and fortune, auspicious animals, residential landscapes, birds and flowers, mythical birds, bonsai, antique objects, miscellaneous items, and hollowed-out floral panels. It is a comprehensive and practical reference for enthusiasts of Ming and Qing furniture and wood carvings, serving both as an appreciation guide and a tool.
