As the Chinese New Year of the Horse (马年 mǎ nián) approaches, skilled intangible cultural heritage inheritor Lan Xiaoyan leads local villagers in handcrafting zodiac (生肖 shēngxiào) horse toys to celebrate the coming year.
Each piece is uniquely designed and crafted with careful handiwork (手工 shǒugōng). As soon as these zodiac horses go online, they are quickly snapped up by buyers from across the country.
More than being festive decorations, these handcrafted horses carry the warmth of tradition, the spirit of craftsmanship, and heartfelt wishes for good fortune in the year ahead. [Photo: VCG] #脉动中国
