Features: This collection includes over 150 works, with an introduction to the main materials used in each piece. Cold platters predominantly feature scenes of flowers, birds, fish, and butterflies, offering multi-dimensional perspectives from flat to three-dimensional effects, with a deliberate pursuit of novelty. Some combine cold platters with carving and inlay on a single plate, creating a harmonious effect; others employ knife skills to make the scenes light and lively, full of artistic charm; and some use stacking techniques to transform shapes, making them lifelike. Food carving includes types such as fruit and vegetable carving, sugar sculpture, and dough figurine. From curved bridges and clear waters to object modeling and abstract works, they all provide a sense of beauty.
