Features: Ming and Qing dynasty wood carvings not only embody the poetic charm of Ming and Qing furniture but also serve as an encyclopedic collection of folk customs. They provide a panoramic display of social life and the daily scenes of various social strata from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty over more than 500 years. This volume focuses on figure carvings, including depictions such as "Bodhisattva of Childbirth," "Manjusri Bodhisattva," and "Top Scholar Passing the Imperial Examination."
