Microcarving is a traditional art project in the third batch of Wuxi municipal intangible cultural heritage projects. Microcarving art can be traced back to three thousand years ago, and famous works and celebrities have emerged in successive dynasties. Especially in the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China and the Republic of China. Due to the gradual advancement of optical instruments, calligraphy, Chinese painting, figures, landscapes, poems and other artistic expressions can be more clearly shown in the fine details. Landscapes, figures and 100-character Tang poems can be carved within half a square centimeter. The road to learning this art is extremely long. From an early age, I learned calligraphy, Chinese painting, fine brushwork, sketching and related arts and crafts, and then turned to knife skills and gradually deepened. It also took ten years of hard work, and it used to be a long-term study process. - When you are proficient, you can have works. The works of masters can be enlarged into slides and projected on the wall, just like a piece of calligraphy and Chinese painting. It has always been praised by the world as "a thousand images in a millimeter, a masterpiece of magic".
