(D)
Egg carving(蛋雕) is often called the most fragile(脆弱的) art,as it requires great care before,during and even after the carving. Yu Wen,who is from Dandong in Liaoning Province,has been doing egg carving for about 30 years.
Yu has used over 10,000 eggs,and years of hard work has left many thick calluses(茧) on her hands. Sometimes,after a long day of carving,she can’t even hold chopsticks properly. But in Yu’s opinion,the difficulty of the process makes egg carving twice as exciting. “If you carve off too much,the work will be broken and there is no way to deal with it. This makes the sense of achievement even greater when you finish a piece,” Yu said.
Yu’s love for egg carving started with a local tradition. In north-east China,when a baby is born,friends and relatives often send red-coloured eggs as gifts,and some may carve auspicious words on them. The character “福” is a popular one to be carved onto eggs. Yu carves with not only popular characters or traditional patterns,but also Peking Opera masks and wall paintings. Her egg carving is as much about eggs as it is about Chinese culture.
Now Yu teaches egg carving at a local university. In recent years,she has seen more people coming from across the country to learn the art. “I hope I can better combine(结合) the art with traditional culture in the future,” Yu said.
