Zhang Yichen, 31, opened his cloisonné enamel studio last year in the Chinese-Baroque Historic Block in Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province. The exquisite artworks have attracted lots of visitors as well as many young people who want to learn from him. “I was born in Beijing and am really familiar with this unique Beijing traditional handicraft,” he said. “I learned it from some old craftsmen in Beijing and hope to help more and more people in the country know traditional Chinese culture.”[Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn] |
