Intricate details of a dragon appeared on a gourd in the hands of a pyrography artist in Jinan, Shandong Province. Harnessing the skills of this Shandong intangible cultural heritage practice, Li Yaning fashions images of this year's sign of the Chinese zodiac with a soldering iron as the Year of the Dragon approaches. Armed with 25 years of studying this skill, Li brings together pyrography art with gourd culture, an integral component of traditional Chinese culture.
