Boxwood carvings focus on finely crafted, delicate and versatile procedures, conceiving, making clay sculptures, selecting materials, chiseling rough embryos, carving embryos, detailing, sanding and polishing... The creation of a piece of work often takes several months to several years, condensed a lot of energy and effort. In recent years, based on inheriting tradition, boxwood carvings absorb the realistic methods of modern sculpture and pay attention to the relationship between body shaping, texture, and space. Shengning Zheng said: "The spirit of craftsmanship is to strive for excellence. If you want to make progress, you must innovate."
