Zhang Shaoyang, born in 197 1, is a master of folk arts and crafts in Lishui, Zhejiang. His father 18 years old studied carpentry. I have loved painting since I was a child, because of the tradition in Zhejiang.

The infection of craft wood carving, I like to carve on all the wood I see in my spare time. At the age of 30, he worked as a carpenter during the day and studied sculpture at night. Soon, the first woodcarving-the God of Wealth was born. 50 yuan, Xiaoming's first work was sold to 50 yuan! Carve one piece in 30 days. Zhang Shaoyang, who has the talent and inspiration of woodcarving, really succeeded. From then on, he insisted on carving every night, and his craft improved rapidly, and more and more people called for goods. Zhang Shaoyang's fine carving works, from the overall image to the hollowed-out fine carving, have also soared in value with the demand of the market.

From tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars, until 8 thousand dollars. Finally, in 2003, he officially left carpentry and began to do wood carving full-time.

However, the fineness of wood carving prevented Shaoyang from playing. In 20 13, he resolutely gave up wood carving and devoted himself to mammoth ivory carving.

In his words, I am a little apprentice, and I am carving with my heart, awakening the spirit that has been sleeping for thousands of years with my new awakening.
