At the beginning of this century, invited by the old generation of jade carving masters in Zhenping to set up a factory in Zhenping County to make root carving, Zhenping is a national jade carving market, at the beginning of the century wood carving root carving market has not been, jade preparation base is generally just a flat seat and a simple wood carving seat. Master Li Youguang set up a root carving factory not far from the intersection of Zhenping Old 312 National Highway and Shifosi Road to make root carving, and studied the root carving method to prepare the base for jade, which was welcomed by the national jade carving community in Zhenping, and the business was booming.

Master Li Youguang does not splice the root carving, and the root art base is also made by making the root carving method without splicing. Because the jade base is in the process, the jade is fixed on the base to dig a nest to fix, as the base process to fix the jade but also have splicing, but the jade root carving base can only be spliced four times at most, splicing more although the color can not be called the root carving seat, the value can only be charged half of the cost, for example, a root carving seat four hundred can only be charged 200 yuan. Of course, it is best not to splice the root carving base at one time, and the complete natural root is carved with carving. The first thing to look at is to see if there is a splicing, and it has been spliced several times. More than 4 times the value will be affected, which is professional credit ethics and technical ethics. It is also the grade appraisal of handicrafts. Therefore, it is impossible to make a wonderful root carving jade seat if you don't know the root carving technology. This is where Master Li Youguang's original value lies.
