Liu Danming's "Home in the Distance" uses large, high-quality and colorful alpine rocks as the creative carrier, and uses a knife as a substitute to describe the wonderful scenery of distant mountains and autumn water and smoke. The poetry of "Pinghu Reflecting the Shadows and the Water Connecting to the Sky" is integrated into the work.
In the works, the hills are undulating, the trees are lush, and the country roads are spotless, only the gurgling streams and the chirping of insects and birds can be heard.
The work not only depicts the interest of landscape, but also expresses the author's spiritual sustenance and aesthetic intention.

Lin Weixing's "She Nationality Phoenix Crown" integrates the five core techniques of "manipulating, chiseling, lifting, unraveling, and draping", representing the highest level of She nationality folk metal craftsmanship and occupying an important seat in China's silverware making industry.
The upper part of the front of the phoenix crown is based on the phoenix with its wings as the main creative element.
The lower part of the phoenix crown is decorated with patterns of phoenix and double dragons playing with beads. It is made of high-relief and yin-yang carving techniques. The dragon balls are inlaid with green jade, and the tail of the dragon is decorated with sunflower flowers inlaid with silver and gold. Good luck and good wishes passed down from generation to generation attract audiences to stop and watch.

Lin Shiyuan, a master of Chinese arts and crafts, said that many of the Shoushan stone sculptures on the theme of landscape exhibited in this exhibition have clear layers, rich connotations and open artistic conception; the silver ornaments expressing the traditional aesthetic concept of the She nationality are more exquisite in workmanship, ingenious in shape and strong in expression. It is a typical expression of the integration of traditional Chinese silver carving craftsmanship and She culture.
Holding this exhibition will help to promote traditional culture, protect, inherit and make good use of folk art, and continue the historical context.
