Many people may throw away the pits inside fruits after eating them, but inheritors of nut carving（核雕继承人）have turned them into artworks instead.
Weifang nut carving goes back to the Qing Dynasty. During that time, an old imperial craftsman（皇家手艺人）Wang Dayan spread the skill to the local people in Shandong Province. Craftsmen back then often used peach pits（桃核）to show off their artistic skills. Because of the high level of carving skills needed, the traditional culture and its rich artistic theme, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage（国家非物质文化遗产）in 2008.
“One nut, from 0.8 to 6 centimeters long, can be made into fan pendants, earrings, buttons, seals and so on,” said Tan Wanhai, 48, an inheritor of Weifang nut carving. Tan has studied the art of nut carving for 25 years and has created many nut carvings.
However, the craftsman also said that bringing this kind of artwork to life is not easy. “Unlike some pits like olive（橄榄）pits which have a flat surface, each peach pit has its own special texture（质地）like human fingerprints, “ Tan said, adding, that, craftsmen have to study each peach pit to carefully plan out their artwork.
Nut carving craftsmen also need to have knowledge in many areas. According to Tan, they have to master skills in painting, seal carving and calligraphy from many traditional cultures.
Thanks to their creative design and fresh ideas, Weifang nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China. More people are learning the art and have even become inheritors to pass down the skill to young people.
“Now, the number of inheritors is about 1,000. But I believe it could be bigger. More craftsmen now give up the tradition of passing down the skill only through the family and open it up to anyone who is interested in learning the skill,” said Tan.

Embroidery(刺绣) is an important traditional art form in Chinese culture. The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong. Shu embroidery has the longest history of all.
Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy hand-made Shu embroidery products. There are also very few young embroiderers. The skill is endangered.
Meng Dezhi, a national-level inheritor(传承人) of the art form, has been making Shu embroidery for forty years. She used to work at the Chengdu Shu Embroidery Factory. But in 2006, the factory went broke and Meng lost her job. Wanting to save the art, Meng wanted to have her own place and teach Shu embroidery to others.
It’s hard work. Embroidery takes time and patience. Workers need to divide each silk thread(线) into more than ten or even thirty pieces. Each piece is thinner than a single human hair. In 2016, Baidu invited Meng to make a homepage logo for Qixi Festival. It was a small logo, but it required the use of 45 types of sewing techniques(针法) and 35,000 stitches(针).
Meng is teaching in different universities and communities to save Shu embroidery.

Opera was once the most wonderful part of life in Yuxian, Hebei province, and thanks to a local handicraft (手工艺)—paper-cutting, the memory is being protected. In the early 20th century, highly expected events for people in most villages of Yuxian were the opera performances to celebrate the harvest (丰收) or festivals.
“Back then, most villagers didn’t have the chance to receive an education, but they could learn about life through stories told in operas,” says Gao Dianliang, a paper-cutting artist in Yuxian.
Since local people loved opera so much, but were not wealthy enough to watch it often, many villagers who were good at paper-cutting tried to recreate opera characters and their masks themselves, and put them on their windows. “In this way, people could see opera every day,” says Gao.
That has made opera an important part of Yuxian paper-cutting, a national-level intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产). Gao, 57, a provincial-level inheritor (省级传承人) of the craft, has been working on it for years.
Yuxian’s paper-cutting has a history dating back to the Ming Dynasty(1368—1644). The art form developed from the tradition of putting up paper-cuts to bring good luck to the family, as well as to decorate (装饰) windows. People often hang paper-cuts during the Chinese New Year and change them at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the 1970s, when Gao was a child, he started to learn the skill from his parents, not out of interest, but to help make a living for his family. In 1984, he set up the Danhou Paper-cut Factory with his brother, and organized local villagers to learn and produce paper-cuts. Gao has tried to make the craft more popular with new ideas. He also helped to set up a school to help more talented people to become qualified craftsmen, all while continuing to develop new patterns with his team.
20．How did people in Yuxian celebrate the harvest or festivals in the early 20th century
A．By watching opera performances.
B．By producing paper-cuts in factories.
C．By having parties with family and friends.
21．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The importance of opera for villagers in Yuxian.
B．The process of making paper-cuts by artists in Yuxian.

Many people may throw away the pits inside fruits after eating them, but inheritors of nut carving（核雕继承人）have turned them into artworks instead.
Weifang nut carving goes back to the Qing Dynasty. During that time, an old imperial craftsman（皇家手艺人）Wang Dayan spread the skill to the local people in Shandong Province. Craftsmen back then often used peach pits（桃核）to show off their artistic skills. Because of the high level of carving skills needed, the traditional culture and its rich artistic theme, Weifang nut carving was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage（国家非物质文化遗产）in 2008.
“One nut, from 0.8 to 6 centimeters long, can be made into fan pendants, earrings, buttons, seals and so on,” said Tan Wanhai, 48, an inheritor of Weifang nut carving. Tan has studied the art of nut carving for 25 years and has created many nut carvings.
However, the craftsman also said that bringing this kind of artwork to life is not easy. “Unlike some pits like olive（橄榄）pits which have a flat surface, each peach pit has its own special texture（质地）like human fingerprints, “ Tan said, adding, that, craftsmen have to study each peach pit to carefully plan out their artwork.
Nut carving craftsmen also need to have knowledge in many areas. According to Tan, they have to master skills in painting, seal carving and calligraphy from many traditional cultures.
Thanks to their creative design and fresh ideas, Weifang nut carving artworks have been increasingly welcomed by people in China. More people are learning the art and have even become inheritors to pass down the skill to young people.
“Now, the number of inheritors is about 1,000. But I believe it could be bigger. More craftsmen now give up the tradition of passing down the skill only through the family and open it up to anyone who is interested in learning the skill,” said Tan.

Embroidery(刺绣) is an important traditional art form in Chinese culture. The most famous embroidery styles are Su embroidery from Suzhou, Shu embroidery from Sichuan, Xiang embroidery from Hunan and Yue embroidery from Guangdong. Shu embroidery has the longest history of all.
Since modern machines can make cheaper embroidery products today, fewer people buy hand-made Shu embroidery products. There are also very few young embroiderers. The skill is endangered.
Meng Dezhi, a national-level inheritor(传承人) of the art form, has been making Shu embroidery for forty years. She used to work at the Chengdu Shu Embroidery Factory. But in 2006, the factory went broke and Meng lost her job. Wanting to save the art, Meng wanted to have her own place and teach Shu embroidery to others.
It’s hard work. Embroidery takes time and patience. Workers need to divide each silk thread(线) into more than ten or even thirty pieces. Each piece is thinner than a single human hair. In 2016, Baidu invited Meng to make a homepage logo for Qixi Festival. It was a small logo, but it required the use of 45 types of sewing techniques(针法) and 35,000 stitches(针).
Meng is teaching in different universities and communities to save Shu embroidery.

Nanhai is famous for a traditional craft (手工艺品) that has been around for over 1000 years: Nanhai rattan weavings (南海藤编). This art has a long history and was once very important in the past.

Opera was once the most wonderful part of life in Yuxian, Hebei province, and thanks to a local handicraft (手工艺)—paper-cutting, the memory is being protected. In the early 20th century, highly expected events for people in most villages of Yuxian were the opera performances to celebrate the harvest (丰收) or festivals.
“Back then, most villagers didn’t have the chance to receive an education, but they could learn about life through stories told in operas,” says Gao Dianliang, a paper-cutting artist in Yuxian.
Since local people loved opera so much, but were not wealthy enough to watch it often, many villagers who were good at paper-cutting tried to recreate opera characters and their masks themselves, and put them on their windows. “In this way, people could see opera every day,” says Gao.
That has made opera an important part of Yuxian paper-cutting, a national-level intangible cultural heritage(国家级非物质文化遗产). Gao, 57, a provincial-level inheritor (省级传承人) of the craft, has been working on it for years.
Yuxian’s paper-cutting has a history dating back to the Ming Dynasty(1368—1644). The art form developed from the tradition of putting up paper-cuts to bring good luck to the family, as well as to decorate (装饰) windows. People often hang paper-cuts during the Chinese New Year and change them at the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In the 1970s, when Gao was a child, he started to learn the skill from his parents, not out of interest, but to help make a living for his family. In 1984, he set up the Danhou Paper-cut Factory with his brother, and organized local villagers to learn and produce paper-cuts. Gao has tried to make the craft more popular with new ideas. He also helped to set up a school to help more talented people to become qualified craftsmen, all while continuing to develop new patterns with his team.
20．How did people in Yuxian celebrate the harvest or festivals in the early 20th century

B．By producing paper-cuts in factories.
C．By having parties with family and friends.
