Wood carvings are seen in Zhanqi Village, east China's Anhui Province. /CGTN

Wood carvings are among the great treasures of traditional dwellings in east China's Anhui Province, where artisans often carved intricate patterns on wooden doors and beams. Each motif holds heartfelt blessings. Sages represent noble character, while scenes of historic heroes pass down moral lessons. Depictions of children at play and squirrels climbing grapevines express wishes for a thriving family lineage. Vases and bronze vessels stand for peace and wisdom. These intricate carvings are not simply for decoration; they are good omens that represent ancient people's hopes for a happy, prosperous family.
