Yuyao micro carving

Yuyao micro-carving micro-carving works of art, that is, carving all kinds of figures and animals on ivory pieces of half a grain of rice, can clearly see the lifelike shapes under the magnifying glass. Exquisite carving is called "ingenious, peerless skill." As early as thousands of years ago, there were micro-carved works of art handed down from generation to generation in China. Li Cici, a descendant of Yuyao micro-carving, loved painting and calligraphy since childhood, studied micro-carving, studied hard and practiced carving, and made his own carving knife. The carving knife he made is thinner than the embroidery needle. When carving, most of them should be arranged in the middle of the night when all is silent, relying on the spiritual sense to achieve the heart, hand and meaning, and to accommodate the world in mustard. When he is carving, he is absorbed and highly focused, and he is not allowed to miss a thought. It often takes half a month or even a month to complete a work. The micro-carving crafts carved by Li Jici are all amazing works. He carved a six-faced statue of Amitabha on an ivory tablet the size of a grain of rice, which is said to be the smallest Buddha statue in the world today. He carved the heads of 39 American presidents since 1789 on both sides of a rice-sized ivory piece. This work of art was sent to Los Angeles for exhibition in May 1987. During the ten days of the exhibition, thousands of spectators lined up every day to watch it. Because of the crowd, it was necessary to temporarily stipulate that each audience could only watch it for 10 seconds. In January 1988, he carved the heads of 39 American presidents on one side of a rice-sized ivory piece, which was reduced by half. Was sent to the exhibition in Atlanta, USA. He also painted oil paintings in a small glass bottle with a diameter of only 3mm, and painted it as the smile of Mona Lisa in the world famous paintings. Looking at it with a magnifying glass of 20 times, the portrait is clear in facial features, colorful and lifelike. Yuyao micro-carving handicrafts have caused a sensation in the United States and Japan. Some of the ivory carvings, snuff bottles and paintings in glass bottles have become the treasures of some museums and collectors in the United States and Japan.
