This afternoon, we visited camp ahead of schedule.
Coming to the biennial exhibition hall of Mengqi Town, the exhibition is in full swing.
The first thing that catches the eye is a wood-carved "life stage", the stage is in a four-angled mountain style, 16 rows, 16 columns, 16 layers of dragons and phoenixes are stacked layer by layer, and the jumps spiral upwards, with exquisite structure, exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite decoration.
"Life is like a drama, the ancient opera stage is the epitome of life's sorrow and joy, the transfer of the combination, the National Intangible Cultural Heritage of Ninghai Ping's "Playing Teeth" has been beautifully interpreted on these ancient opera stages." The author Ge Zhaolong who said this is from Ninghai, the "hometown of Ancient Chinese Opera Stage Culture". Ninghai is the place with the largest stock and the best protection of ancient opera stages in China, with 617 ancient opera stages and 10 listed in the "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit".
"This is my first time participating in the Mountain Flower Awards, and I didn't expect to be shortlisted for the final evaluation." Lin Shunkui from Yueqing couldn't suppress his happiness.
He is the inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage "jewelry dragon", this time the works of the competition, he spent a year to make, the jewelry dragon lamp is 5 meters long, more than 3 meters high, the front dragon head and the tail of the dragon, the middle "dragon body" has 4 to 6 floors of pavilions, the dragon body has more than 70 ancient and modern characters of different forms from all walks of life, as well as "The Sky", "The List of Fengshen Gods", "Three Kingdoms" and so on.

Lin Shunkui said that the jewelry dragon originated in the Ming Dynasty and was mainly used from the beginning of the first month to the Lantern Festival to ensure the safety of every family.
Stone carving wood carving root carving is not unusual, do you know shell carving? Jin Ji, a participant from Liaoning, brought a pair of three-dimensional shell carving works "Cattails" that are carefully crafted by using new technologies for physical softening of shells, using Australian abalone shells and Bohai abalone shells as the main shell materials, adding lapis lazuli, turquoise, malachite, rubies, pearls, gold and other materials.
The natural texture and colorful luster of the abalone shell vividly interpret the image of the beast in folklore, and also show the superb skills of Dalian shell carving.
