45 year-old Ding Yonggang, an inheritor of wood carving, sharpens his knife in Jingxian County, east China's Anhui Province, April 12, 2019. Influenced by the elders who are engaged in woodworking, Ding has developed a strong interest in traditional woodcarving techniques since his childhood. After years of learning and practice, Ding Yonggang has been maturing in his woodcarving skills and has created a large number of woodcarving art works. Under Ding's knife, raw materials such as some humble branches and roots are endowed with artistic value. (Xinhua/Liu Junxi)
