Miniature sculpture.

Carve calligraphy and painting on pyrophyllite, jade and ivory or carve into real miniature high-grade artworks. Chen Yaobao, a micro-sculptor in Yueqing, carved Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting and Xu Beihong's Running Horse on sesame-sized ivory. On the soybean-sized area, poems of the Eight Sages and Seven Laws of Shaoxing, such as Dayu, Lu Xun and Zhou Enlai, are carefully carved. The work is finely crafted, the handwriting is vigorous and steady, and the characters are lifelike. He once held a personal micro-sculpture exhibition in Wenzhou. Miniature stone carvings, such as moths and earthworms, shrimp catching, and Gan Long's tour in the south of the Yangtze River, are all lifelike.
