Ingenuity
A drop of water cannot represent an ocean, but a drop of water can refract the whole sun. A grain of sand cannot represent the whole desert, but a grain of sand can condense a world.

This is the subtle art of micro-carving. As the name implies, micro-carving is a carving technique famous for its exquisiteness. Micro-sculpture art is the most exquisite handicraft in China traditional arts and crafts, a pocket art with the essence of China culture, and a branch of sculpture technology. It can even be carved on ivory pieces, bamboo pieces or a few millimeters of hair, so it has been called stunts for generations.

China has a long history of micro-carving, which appeared in Oracle Bone Inscriptions as early as the Shang Dynasty.

Stone, in the eyes of ordinary people, is discarded after tasting fresh fruit, but this kind of small stone will turn decay into magic in the hands of micro-carving. In this impetuous world, those micro-sculptors are immersed in the world of handicrafts, slowly polishing their skills, tempering their minds, and repaying time and years with beauty. This is the precious craftsman's heart of traditional craftsmen.

There are many people engaged in carving, but few people can finish micro-carving. Micro-carving construction is very small, and it is difficult to complete without high micro-carving skills and calligraphy skills and skilled use of micro-carving tools. Hold your breath, concentrate and be meticulous when carving.

Micro-sculpture art is "subtle" and "refined". The more elaborate, the more carving skills are needed to produce fine products, and the higher the value. Micro-sculpture is not only a pleasing work, but also injects the sculptor's delicate mind and superb skills. From ancient times to the present, China's miniature sculptures are full of praise!
