In 2014, I registered for a program between a Chinese and an Italian university, beginning my 2 at Tongji University’s College of Design and Innovation in Shanghai. Over the past few years, my main research 3 has been exploring ways to 4 traditional Chinese craftsmanship with new design elements.
In 2021, I went on a field investigation in Zeya township, located in the western part of Wenzhou.

The craftsmanship of the paper has been well 7 and succeeded to the art of paper making, which has been 8 in the state-level intangible cultural heritage protection list in China.
In order to breathe a 9 life into this craftsmanship, I planned the Zeya Paper Reborn Project. Combining traditional paper making 10 with modern aesthetics (美学),I worked with students to 11 five nice lamps, which showed the beautiful natural scenery of Zeya and the ancient architectural features. Meanwhile, they could also be 12 in large quantities as cultural and creative products, contributing to local economic development.
To 13 Chinese intangible cultural heritage, I have worked 14 with local communities, studios and factories. I hope that my 15 in China can make a little difference to spreading traditional Chinese culture.

I could feel 5 reached deep into my stomach. Time stood still.

Inside the century-old house, 21 colorful deity sculptures (神像) stand silently, with a divine mural. 4 common Buddhist icons, they have earthly vitality, each telling a Quanzhou sea-linked creation myth.
Chen Zenghuang is the fifth-generation inheritor of Zhepingguo Buddha Sculpting. For decades, he has carved traditional Buddha statues for temples across southern Fujian. However, the Canghaicuo sculptures, 5 a turning point in his creative life. “It’s still wood, still lacquer, still the same tools,” Chen told the Global Times, “but what I’m 6 now is a story of 7 we come from.”
Over a century ago, Chen’s ancestors migrated from Pingyang to a village in Quanzhou for work and set up a workshop named “Zhepingguo” — a tribute to their hometown and a wish to combine skill with devotion. The workshop became famous for zhuangfo. Lacquer-threading is the most 8 step: mixing lacquer (漆) , tung oil (桐油) and natural fibers (天然纤维) into a paste, rolling it into hair-thin strands, and winding them on the sculpture to create details. Chen once struggled with it, learning that a calm heart is 9 to avoid breaking the threads.
Chen grew up 10 the sound of mallets and the scent of tung oil. His father, a craftsman with over 40 years of experience, taught him to avoid 11 . Later, Chen studied sculpture at the Xiamen Academy of Arts and Crafts, where he found clay forgiving but wood unforgiving, once cut, there’s no going back. Through blistered hands and bleeding fingers, he learned 12 and realized carving is a dialogue between material and spirit. At first, he thought his statues would only be for worship, 13 people with ancestors and the divine in southern Fujian’s culture.
Chen believes 14 is the soul of inheriting tradition. His collaboration with contemporary artist Wen Na on Canghaicuo blended craftsmanship with modern storytelling. Since Zhepingguo Buddha Sculpting became a Jinjiang intangible cultural heritage in 2016, Chen and his father have taught apprentices. He sees carving as a record of time, saying, “Our task is not to preserve tradition in a jar, but to keep it 15 .”
