There is a special porcelain item (瓷器制品) in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province. It has up to 10,000 hollows (镂空) and beautiful clay flowers. This is Tonghua porcelain. It became a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
It takes around 20 steps and 45 days to turn a design on paper into a finished porcelain item. And designing is not easy. If a hollow is too large, it can crack (裂开) during firing. When making a flower, the maker also has to be quick, or the clay will become too dry.
Ye Hao is a 29-year-old inheritor (传承人) of Tonghua porcelain. His family are good at making porcelain. As there are fewer people in Chaozhou with Tonghua skills, he thinks it is important to learn the art. He started his study in high school.

My Favorite Traditional Chinese Art
Among all the traditional Chinese art forms, my favorite is paper cutting. It’s a kind of folk art in China, with a history of more than 1,500 years. People cut different pictures of people, animals or plants with knives or scissors on red paper.
I’ve been practicing paper cutting for more than five years. It’s such a wonderful art form that I fell in love with it the first time I came across it. Firstly, it’s a perfect way to train me to be patient and careful. Secondly, paper cutting works are great presents for my family and friends on special occasions.
Paper cutting is part of Chinese culture that all Chinese people should be proud of. And I want to spread it to others.
