Jujube trees are commonly found in northwest China's Shaanxi Province. Yang Yanfei, a craftsman in jujube wood carving from Yulin in the north of the province, transforms the wood into intricate sculptures with Shaanxi's characteristics. His sculptures feature villagers with towels wrapped around their heads singing folks, capturing the rural life and local customs. From jujube-shaped carvings to elegant combs and hairpins, Yang also creates modern cultural products that bridge the gap between heritage and contemporary artistry, ensuring the craft continues to thrive.
