Deng Zongyuan, who lives in the old wine factory community in Xintian County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, is a veteran and laid-off worker.
Now, nearly 60 years old, he has another title-folk woodcarving craftsman.
For ten years, Deng Zongyuan has been obsessed with the art of woodcarving, turning pieces of "rotten wood" into magic, and he is not tired of it.
The jewel works carved by him are exquisite and lifelike, full of aura, with great ornamental value and artistic collection value.
At present, Deng Zongyuan has devoted himself to creating thousands of Yabo works, each of which embodies elements of Chinese characteristics and devotes a lot of effort to it.
Walking into Deng Zongyuan's home is like walking into a sculpture art exhibition hall. The living room is filled with a dazzling array of sculptures, covering art types such as birds and beasts, landscape modeling, and character sculptures.
Deng Zongyuan hopes to show wood carving craftsmanship to more people through hard work, so that everyone can understand the profound Chinese culture from his works.
