Wang Wenda, the inheritor of woodcut skills at the national level, exhibited his skills with other members of the woodcut studio and exchanged experiences with the delegation. "I have been working in woodcutting for a life time. Those who learn it with me all gave up, and I'm the only one who stuck with it," said Wang. "I hope more young men can join us to inherit the precious skills passed from our ancestors."

During the visit, the delegation was amazed by the elaborate craftsmanship of New Year's Paintings and the inheritors' superb skills.
