culture
China's 'four great wood-carving traditions' (中国四大木雕) are 东阳木雕 (Dongyang, Zhejiang — relief carving), 黄杨木雕 (Yueqing boxwood), 龙眼木雕 (Fujian longan-wood), and 潮州木雕 (Chaozhou gilt carving for temples). All are recognized intangible cultural heritage.
memory
木 (wood) + 雕 (to carve, also 'eagle/vulture'). The 雕 here is the carving sense — same character that gives us 雕刻 (sculpt), 雕塑 (sculpture), and 玉雕 (jade carving).
