The Peach-Stone Carving
The peach-stone carving is a traditional handicraft of China. The earliest one was made about one thousand years ago. It's made of the stone of the peach, the apricot and the olive. People prefer to use the stone of the olive. Because its cover is smooth so that it's easy to carve it.
People also like to carve the plants, the boat, the animals and the statues of Buddha on the stones. The stones are too small and hard, so it's very difficult to carve them. But the makers can make them into all kinds of shape. So their skills are very good. I respect their skills very much. The peach-stone carvings made in Suzhou, Yangzhou and Weifang were most famous. They are so beautiful.
When I was a student, I read an article about the peach-stone carving. It described the boat which was be carved by the peach-stone vividly. It really impressed me. I was very interested in it and wanted to buy one.
I went to Hangzhou in December, 2008. When I was wandering in the Hefang street, I saw the peach-stone carvings. I was so excited. These were the best gifts for my parents, friends and me. You can use it to decorate the mobile phones, the wallets, the bags, and so on.
It also can be made into a key ring, a bracelet or a necklace. So I bought eight carvings. When I presented them to my parents and friends, they were also very happy. If you will travel in China, please remember to see the carvings.
