“No building comes without carvings (雕刻), and carvings make buildings more valuable,” goes an old saying in Minnan (闽南), an area in southern Fujian Province. The saying refers to brick carvings, which were an important feature of the old red brick buildings in the area.
The carvings were once commonly found on either side of the main entrance of Minnan’s buildings. However, with development, the number of ancient red brick buildings has decreased, and Minnan’s brick carvings have gradually faded from sight, said Wu Jiandong, a young master brick carver from Fujian’s Quanzhou City.
The 42-year-old has learned the traditional technique and now combines it with modern tastes to develop his own style of brick carving. Wu said that he hoped to be able to help the traditional craft continue through innovation.
“Market demands have changed in recent years, and so has our thinking, “Wu said. “We must add modern elements to help pass down and develop traditional crafts.”
People in Minnan love tea, so Wu created a series of carved brick tea decorations, including tea plates, cup holders, pot holders and other items, They have been warmly received by local people and foreign visitors.
Earlier this year, a pendant (挂件) decorated with a swallow, tail ridge (屋脊) and a bright moon was bought by an overseas Chinese man from the Philippines. The customer told Wu that he would hang the pendant in his office as a reminder of the architecture and the moon of his hometown.
Because of the market’s recognition of his work , Wu will be able to pass down the craft and further develop his pieces, and the popularity of short videos has also given him new hopes of promoting (推广) Minnan brick carvings.
The art form originated during the Song Dynasty and flourished (繁荣) during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is now an important part of national cultural heritage.

To tell China’s stories, translation plays an important role. Good translators help foreigners learn more about Chinese culture, both traditional and modern.
·The Three-Body Problem 《三体》
This book has changed how western people feel about Chinese science fiction. Born in China and grew up in the US, Ken Liu helped it become popular. He writes science fiction himself. That made him translate the story better than others. He didn’t translate the book word by word. Instead, he tried to make it easier for English readers to understand.
